Theme: Healing and health

With the Moon poised between the asteroids and mythical figures of Chiron and his daughter Hygeia, health, healing and hygiene are key themes today. The Moon rules our day-to-day routines, including hygiene, which are important in keeping us healthy overall. Today, this connection is more obvious. Health is also about our psychological health, and includes healing from the past. The Moon is in Aries, and like all fire-sign placements is courageous, and headstrong, when dealing with challenges.

The first wealth is health.~Ralph Waldo Emerson

Theme: Slowing down

The Moon conjunct Neptune in Pisces gives pause for thought and reflection. Seek spaciousness and rest to allow the spiritual dimension to integrate more fully with your daily life. Gratitude comes more easily. It’s not a time for rules and regulations. Venus opposite Uranus calls for flexibility and spontaneity in the face of changing relationships.

Things are beautiful if you love them.~Jean Anouilh

Theme: Penetrating insights

Mercury has moved into Scorpio bringing with it a laser-like focus on matters at hand. It’s a good time for research and investigation, and understanding the power of words, both positive and negative. The Moon is conjunct Saturn in Pisces bringing a serious perspective today. It’s a good aspect to get work done if you can maintain your attention. The sign of Pisces also enables us to see the true nature of suffering.

Delusion arises when we don’t acknowledge that all compounded things are impermanent. But when we realize this truth, deep down and not just intellectually, that’s what we call liberation: release from this one-pointed, narrow minded belief in impermanence.~Dzongsar Khyentse Rinpoche

Theme: Forceful Persuasion

With Mercury at 90 degrees to Pluto, the energy is right for trying to coerce someone or for someone to coerce you. Or a milder expression of this transit is obsessive thinking. The best use of today would be shining a light on problems, and get to the bottom of them. The Moon is in friendly but detached Aquarius for two more days. The Sun is also trining Jupiter for a few days which indicates that good things happen.

Character may almost be called the most effective means of persuasion. ~Aristotle

Theme: Curiosity and Intelligence

There is a Yod today with Mercury at the Apex with Uranus and Neptune involved. We will have a restless curiosity today. Can we integrate our thinking and come away with some real intelligence? We will have to deal with our rebel side and our highest idealism. As the day moves on Mercury is squaring the Moon and Pluto, and compulsions and obsessions come to the forefront of our mind.

If you would like to be selfish , you should do it in the most intelligent way: by working for the benefit of others. ~H H the Dalai Lama

The Moon is void of course today from 11:54 am until 12:32 pm EDT. Do not make any major decisions during this time period.

Theme: Dynamic day

With a Grand Cross between the Moon, Mars, Chiron and Sun/Mercury it’s a deep yet dynamic time today, with opportunity for right action, and better aligning your inner purpose with your outer direction. This aspect invites healing of that part of the psyche that is reluctant to move forward. As the Moon approaches Pluto you can dig deeper than usual to find courage to take the next steps, as long as you are prepared to let go, a challenging challenge!

Besides the noble art of getting things done, there is the noble art of leaving things undone. The wisdom of life consists in the elimination of non-essentials.~Lin Yutang

Theme: Action!

With the Moon in Capricorn, the Sun and Mercury in Libra, and Mars in Cancer – there is more activity than usual because these placements are in cardinal or activity oriented signs. These signs do not sit on their hands! Doing is a comfortable activity – even if there is a lack of surety in the outcome. Libra is the sign of open enemies – the enemies that one can clearly see and address.

Just as lotuses are only found growing in muddy water, wisdom can only be found in our negative emotions.~Dzongsar Jamyang Khyentse Rinpoche

The Moon is Void of Course today between EDT USA 1.54am until 5:38am. Avoid starting new projects, making new purchases, planning big events or signing contracts during this time. Take time for inner reflection and self-care.

Theme: Be in the moment

With Venus trine Mars your senses are heightened. Take the opportunity to be present, in the moment. Mercury is trine Jupiter bringing beneficial news and an optimism to deal with challenges. With the Moon in Sagittarius for another day take the time to be adventurous, try something new and take steps to increase your knowledge. The Sun in Libra reminds us that there is always a middle way.

She was awake and bought to life. Being human came to her unbidden, it took hold of her, and changed her.~Alice Hoffman

Theme: Feeling your way

With Venus and Mars in water signs – actions and relationships are more likely to be motivated by your emotional drives. You are more aware of the undercurrents that pull and push you, leading you towards particular outcomes. The Moon in Sagittarius gives you enthusiasm and idealism, and you are more willing to explore your place in the universe. With the Sun and Mercury in Libra you continue to seek balance.

Buddhist meditation is initally to make the mind more calm and peaceful, more concentrated, more conscious and then to turn inwards and examine the mind itself.~Jetsunma Tenzin Palmo

Theme: From Irritable to Expansive

Mercury, our thought and communication, is transitioning from Mars to Jupiter influences. The challenging square from Mars is easing and the trine from Jupiter is strengthening today. This is a good few days for planning and other intellectual pursuits. This is also a good time for business activity. And law, philosophy and religion are also favored.

If your mind is expansive and unfettered, you will find yourself in a more accommodating world, a place that’s endlessly interesting and alive. ~Pema Chodron

The Moon is void of course today from 6:54 pm until 7:35 pm EDT. Do not make any major decisions during this time period.
