Theme: Transformation

With the Moon forming a grand trine Uranus and Pluto today it’s a day that offers a chance at beneficial change as forces greater than oneself come into contact with the more personal energy of the Moon. In other words it’s a good day to make the wish to be of benefit to all sentient beings and go where transformational energy directs you. This wish also allows you to serve more beings, especially with the Moon also opposite Neptune directing one towards self-less service. The Moon moves into the peacemaker sign of Libra today bringing much needed change at a time of conflict and war in the world, albeit for a short time.

My advice to you, therefore, is to look within with honesty and clarity and practice what you have been taught, and in this way your life will be transformed into a vehicle of blessings.~Jetsunma Ahkhon Norbu Lhamo

Theme: Utilizing the past

Difficulties and challenges in relationships can be traced back to the past – it’s a good time to analyze the root causes of difficulties in general and one-to-one relationships in particular. With Moon trine Jupiter you have more optimism in tackling difficulties and you also have a wider perspective that aids your perspective. Mars moves into Scorpio later today where it is at home in dealing with the more hidden side of conflict, intimacy and the challenges of shared resources. It also can provide more resilience and fortitude – important resources in dealing with whatever life brings.

Instead of allowing ourselves to be led and trapped by our feelings, we should let them disappear as soon as they form, like letters drawn on water with a finger.~Dilgo Khyentse Rinpoche

Theme: Dealing with practicalities, and a healing focus

The Moon moves into Virgo today bringing a focus on the earth, and healing whether it’s healing the earth, through simple acts such as gardening, or healing ourselves. Chiron opposite the Sun strengthens the healing focus on a metaphysical level. This aspect focuses our attention on any inner psychological wounds that impede our capacity to physically repair our body and mind. We are more sensitized today to our limitations in relation to others. Reflection is a helpful tool.

…the notion of death cannot be applied to reality. There is transformation, there is continuation, but you cannot say that there is death.~Thich Nhat Hanh

Theme: Reviewing relationships

With Saturn opposite Venus for the next while you can take the time to see what works and what doesn’t in your relationships with others. You may feel restrained and even corralled but it’s also an opportunity to be realistic about the limits of the possible in your dynamics with others. There is an underlying harmony between your sense of purpose and your feelings today which aids your insights. Life may have its challenges but there are also silver linings.

…we actually pray for guidance and we use the teachings that the teacher gives us and we begin to create the causes by which we can overcome the obstacles in our lives.~Jetsunma Ahkon Lhamo

Theme: Perfectionism

In the second half of the day Venus enters Virgo, and we become more perfectionistic in our relationships. Can we perfect our side of the street and still be patient with the faults of others? The Moon has entered Leo for a few days, which brings out the need for play and creative self-expression. The Mars and Pluto square is peaking today. Use this energy carefully, and be kind to others.

One of the most important and central thoughts in Buddhist philosophy is the idea of compassion. ~Jetsunma Ahkon Norbu Lhamo

Theme: Asserting Ourselves

The Moon joins the Mars and Pluto square for much of the day, giving us a cardinal t-square apex Mars, or even a cardinal grand cross, when you add in the south node. This is a time to take action, but in bursts of effort, not prolonged and steady. Expect opposition from others, even when well-intentioned. It is good to take advantage of the strong Libra energy. Way out all options before embarking on a cause.

The difference between successful people and really successful people is that really successful people say no to almost everything. ~Warren Buffett

The Moon is void of course today from 3:13 pm until 7:26 pm EDT. Do not make any big decisions during this time period.

Theme: Struggle or Transform

The square aspect between Mars and Pluto continues. This can cause us to bring opposition from others due to our ambitious tendencies, or perhaps run into others ambitions. So struggles ensue. Or we can potentially control the energy. Compassionate intentions always help. Then much can be accomplished in transforming the world around you. In the middle of the day the Moon challenges the Sun, bringing small tensions to the surface.

Theme: Feelings?

The Moon moves into Cancer today re-connecting you with family, home and the past. With the Moon in a water sign you can access your feelings more directly, if you choose. With Mars continuing to square Pluto you need to be more mindful than usual dealing with physical safety whether it’s driving or doing your normal day to day activity. Be a watchful warrior! You can ask yourself how your energy can be re-directed to the greater good rather than self-service: the former clears the way for pent up energy to move more freely and find a natural balance.

There’s no better sign of accomplishment than a disciplined mind, This is true victory for the real warrior who carries no weapons.~Chatral Rinpoche

The Moon is Void of Course today between EDT USA 2.34 am until 8:32am. 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: Decisions, decisions

With Mercury joining the Sun and Mars in Libra the energy of decision making comes to the fore including really weighing the costs and benefits. Sitting on the fence can only be a temporary arrangement. Behind the scenes, energetically speaking, Mars conjunct the south node square Pluto catalyzes strong reactions and varying degrees of anger. If you give into reactivity the cost will be high. Spend time tracing the origin story of past battles with yourself and others. Find healthy outlets for your energy. You have a choice to let go the past.

… real compassion has no hook on the end. You give the loving concern, the caring, the regard and the effort you put into ending the suffering of sentient beings with no idea of return for yourself. ~Jetsunma Ahkon Norbu Lhamo

Theme: Self-detecting

With Mercury in good aspect to Pluto you can really drill down on your habits and patterns to find out what holds you back – or trips you up. You can become a detective for yourself! Other people have good advice today and there a harmony between the Sun and Moon today that can give you an holistic sense of purpose. You can feel pressured emotionally but it’s a passing feeling of constriction. Patience is the solution, with yourself and others.
