Theme: Closing the circle

It’s the last day of the dark waning moon today so you still have time to finish unfinished business. The element air is missing in the astrological equation today so be mindful that communications may be less objective. With the Sun, Moon and Mars in Capricorn there is a ‘can do’ energy in relation to accomplishing goals in the material world. With the Sun continuing in its trine with Uranus unexpected outcomes and a desire for freedom persist.

To make a wish that you become able to help all beings throughout space, you need a strong self; with a weak self such an intention is impossible.~HH Dalai Lama

Theme: Testing communication

With the Moon and Mercury square Neptune you will need to tread more carefully with communication: the results are mixed whatever your motivation. It’s good to find alternative ways of communicating your feelings through journaling and reflection. There is still energy for other personal activities, expanding your horizons and getting things done.

With devotion and compassion, there comes true Bodhicitta which leads to enlightenment.~HH 16th Gyalwang Karmapa

Theme: Connecting with heart and friends

With the Moon conjunct Venus in Sagittarius there is enthusiasm to cultivate good friendships and you are more able to connect with your heart and compassion. The Moon is also in it’s last phase so now is the time to tidy up loose ends before the new moon. There continues to be more freedom of movement and unexpected moments. Being flexible and unafraid of adventure put you in good stead.

What arises in my mind now is the thought to benefit others. On the other hand, I don’t cling to appearances as real, in the way that others do.~Ani Sherab Zangmo of Gebchak Nunnery

Theme: Past connections

With the Moon conjunct the south node today your past connections with key individuals bears fruit. Even so, these connections also indicate a need to move in a different direction in your relationships. The Moon in Libra encourages us to bring balance into our lives. The Sun in Capricorn asks that we understand what is possible within the material limitations we are dealing with; and yet it’s important to be innovative, which the approaching trine between the Sun and Uranus encourages us to do.

If we look inside our own minds, – a wishfulfilling jewel is already waiting. No matter how long we may search elsewhere for it, in the end we come back to what was already present – within ourselves from the very beginning. ~The 17th Gyalwang Karmapa

Theme: Junctions

With a T-square between the Moon opposite Neptune and square Mercury you will have feel a bit at sea with your feelings, to the extent that you seek to externalize your experiences. If you can find space to explore your inner world you will have more insights in dealing with any confusion or anxiety you may experience – plus new ways to deal with subtle thoughts. However, with the Sun in Capricorn, the pragmatist, and Mars in Sagittarius you will also find different kinds of ways through any inertia or challenges. Overall, it’s a day when you will need to find a balance between the inner and outer self.

The Moon is Void of Course today between EST USA 6.36pm until 7:47pm. Avoid starting new projects, making new purchases, planning big events or signing contracts during this time. Take time for inner reflection and self-care

When we develop a strong intention and make a vast and generous wish, a sincere and heartfelt prayer, this can snowball and eventually result in something that is truly meaningful and great.~Ringu Tulku

Theme: An interesting day

You won’t be bored to day. With a grand trine between the Sun, Moon and Uranus the day flows more easily and more interestingly. The continuing square between Mercury and Neptune ushers in all kinds of inner and out themes – ranging from spiritual insight to spiritual deception, attraction to addictive substances and working with the unseen. It can even involve something as mundane as working with gas. The Moon is waning in Virgo meaning it’s a good time to tidy up and attend to details.

If you tame and discipline your mind, you experience joy.~The Buddha

Theme: Daily routine

With a predominance of aspects to the moon (mostly favorable) your daily routine runs more smoothly, and you have more spaciousness in your mind helping you along the way. You also have more capacity to dive more deeply into challenging activity. Venus in good aspect to Pluto indicates the deepening of relationships. Energy levels fluctuate while Mars is square the Sun.

Existence and non-existence are extremes, purity and impurity are extremes as well, thus, having relinquished both extremes, the wise do not dwell even in the middle.~The Buddha

The Moon is Void of Course today between EST USA 5.57pm until 7:23pm. 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: Mindful speech continues!

With Mercury exactly conjunct Mars there is a drive to get your viewpoint across without necessarily understanding the nuances of communication and how to achieve understanding. Mars compels us to act before we necessarily understand the consequences of our action – or in this case speech. The good thing today is that Sun is trine Jupiter which gives us time to expand our understanding of compassion and the human capacity to be heard and feel heard.

The fool doth think he is wise, but the wise man knows himself to be a fool.~William Shakespeare

Theme: Fullness and Emptiness

With the full Moon today you will feel the tide of energy peaking then abating, moving from a frenetic build-up to a letting go of spent energy. The Moon is at home in Cancer so there is a tie-in with the natural ebb and flow of life reminding us that we are part of a bigger whole and universe. You will feel both expansive, and yet have more self-discipline today. Make sure you check your facts before deciding on a course of action.

Everything is impermanent. Learn to love without condition. Talk without bad intention. Give without any reason. And most of all Care for beings without any expectation.~Minling khenchen Rinpoche

The Moon is Void of Course today between EST USA 2.55am until 10:15am. Avoid starting new projects, making new purchases, planning big events or signing contracts during this time. Take time for inner reflection and self-care.
