Theme: Fortunate confluences

With the Sun exactly conjunct Venus today there is a well of good-will, good fortune and harmony available to you that averts negativity and naysayers. With the Sun also at home in the sign of Leo it’s also a time to connect with your dignity and tap into the unceasing source of loving kindness that Venus gives us access to. Today you can see beauty in places you did not notice.

Friendship with oneself is all-important, because without it one cannot be friends with anyone else in the world.~Eleanor Roosevelt

Theme: Accomplishment

The Moon in Cancer invites mother figures and the theme of mothering over the next couple of days. With the focus of Moon trine Saturn and sextile Jupiter it’s a ‘get things done’ day. The nitty gritty that Saturn can generate does not sink your optimism even though some tasks seem big. The Sun is trine Chiron focusing your attention on healing psychological wounds in particular. It’s a day of self-discovery and re-generation. Fortune favors the brave as the saying goes.

Theme: Slow start

With the Moon square Neptune your vital energy is lower than usual – best to pace yourself. The Moon moves into Cancer later in the day infusing the next few days with more homey vibes and motivation for nurturing of self and others. The air element is increasing slowly giving more objectivity and discernment. It’s kind of business-as-usual with the same underlying challenges but with familiarity comes more tools to deal with the challenges.

Let go the lure The striving to unmake; Behold the truth Whenever heart may ache There is a glory In a great mistake.~Nathalia Crane.

Theme: Challenges

With the Moon square Mercury/Mars today you will likely feel misunderstood or defensive, or both, which is a signal to re-connect to you heart. In these circumstances a practice routine can be grounding. The is a softening later in the day as the Moon sextiles the Sun followed by Venus – meaning the day gets better. In the next few days the Sun moves closer to Venus emphasizing harmony and kindness.

If you grow bored so easily, perhaps it’s from listening to yourself.~Marion Zimmer Bradley

Theme: Activity day

With many significant aspects today and the Moon swiftly moving into Gemini it’s a ‘to and fro’ day going from one job to the other. If you can find time to spiritually ground yourself before the day starts you will do better overall. Alternatively, take rest and reflection moments. You have to be more disciplined today to accomplish tasks, and will feel pressure to keep going when you really want to stop. Relationships are curve balls. However, overall communications are hospitable.

…emptiness, natural clarity, and unobstructed compassion – are the nature of the mind.~HE Yangthang Tulku Rinpoche

Theme: Solid ground?

With the Moon in Taurus there is a steadfast grounded energy to the day. The Moon in Taurus is also a peaceable placement. The Sun and Venus in Leo brings a vibrancy in relationships and a focus on one’s purpose. Yet the challenges of of the placement of Pluto and Uranus remain. The prominence of the asteroid Hygeia in aspect to major planets continues to emphasize persistent health concerns in sometimes difficult to resolve areas. However, Jupiter continues to bring blessings, throwing light in the darkest corners. It may not be a stable time right now but it is interesting!

The whole purpose of Dharma is to dismantle the protection system we created or ourselves called “ego”.~Dzongsar Khyentse Rinpoche

Theme: Expansive energy

With Jupiter trine Mars and Jupiter square the Sun you have the best of both worlds! Jupiter revs up your energy banks to accomplish tasks and gives you ninja skills to deal with foes. Jupiter is one of the most generous energies so it can also feel like too much of a good thing – or too much of everything – all at the same time! If you’re feeling overloaded you can draw on Jupiter inspired optimism and fortunate timing enabling tasks that seemingly can’t get accomplished – get accomplished. With Mars in Virgo the tendency is to attack through criticism. Avoid that tendency which says more about being overloaded yourself than anything else.

The Moon is Void of Course today between EDT USA 12.13 am until 2:25am. 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: A smoother day

With the Sun trine the moon there is harmony between our purpose and daily routine. With both the Sun and Moon in fire signs there is more enthusiasm and excitement than usual, and likely a ‘leap before you look’ mentality. There is still a lot of purification going on underneath the surface. Now is the ideal time to be propelled towards a new path and process the past barriers that have impeded your progress. In other words, as much as you can, go with the current.

I have shown you the methods that lead to liberation, But you should know that liberation depends upon yourself.~Buddha Shakyamuni

Theme: Woo-woo

If yesterday was cathartic today is a little more woo-woo. With the Moon conjunct Neptune you are likely to be more sensitive to others feelings and realms beyond your own – even if you can’t know for sure what it’s all about. You will experience more fatigue today but with the Sun in Leo there are sources of strength to be found elsewhere. There is still lots of activity going on. Keep consistently delving in to what makes you tick so you don’t trip yourself up.

In horror of death, I took to the mountains—Again and again I meditated on the uncertainty of the hour of death, Capturing the fortress of the deathless unending nature of mind, Now all fear of death is over and done.~Milarepa

The Moon is Void of Course today between EDT USA 9:21 pm until 11:19 pm. 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: Disciplined communications?

With the Moon conjunct Saturn and opposite Mercury today there is a good chance that you will feel pressure to mind your tongue. In other words mindful speech is a central theme today as you will be both constrained in your communications yet impelled by forces outside your immediate control to communicate on the spot. With Jupiter at play you’ll reach for the stars and be inspired today, the catch being that Jupiter also creates over-extension and moments of biting off more than we can chew.

Don’t worry, everything is out of control.~Lao Tzu
