Theme: Evolving relationships

With the planet of relationships, Venus, nestled in closely with the north node, it’s time to rethink your way of connecting with others. You can ask yourself questions such as how can I relate to others more harmoniously, and what habits prevent me from moving forward in relationships? With so many planets remaining in Aries you have energy to move forward in your endeavors. Today you feel a little out of sorts, but nothing rest won’t heal.

A good idea is something that does not solve just one single problem, but rather can solve multiple problems at once.~Shigeru Miyamoto

The Moon is Void of Course today between EDT USA 7.22pm until 10:24pm. 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: Heightened Sensitivity

Due to Moon and Venus’ strong connection this is usually a very pleasant transit. It’s a time of gathering with close friends particularly with the North Node involvement. Past memories will be shared and reawaken pleasurable times spent with others. Women that are important to you will be prominent in your life over the next two days. Moon in Cancer brings heightened sensitivity. Nurturing and being nurtured by others increases a sense of wellbeing.

Theme:  Mental Wanderings

It is said that truth is stranger than fiction but these days fiction is seen as truth. With Moon square Neptune there is a wish to daydream or escape reality, however we define it.
Some may choose to stop working and change their environment, others may prefer using drugs or alcohol. No matter what definition we give to reality, everything arises from mind. Wherever we go, there our minds go to. So enjoy a couple of days of daydreaming and avoid destructive past-times.

“ I was trying to daydream, but my mind kept wandering.”     Steven Wright

The Moon is Void of Course today from 10.46am until 1.45pm EST . Do not make any big decisions during this time period.

Theme:  Spiritual Expression

Moon in Gemini brings endless curiosity. It’s easy to connect with others due to the ability to verbalize emotions clearly. The focus is on one’s spiritual beliefs or path and potential feelings of empathy for others. Mars and Saturn can certainly bring about disciplined action in that arena, which will overcome any feelings of self doubt or separation from humanity.

For those still wandering in samsara.”

Theme: Movement and challenges

With the Moon moving into Gemini today there is a quickening of movement and communications. Gemini energy lightens what is heavy and emotionally difficult. With Mercury retrograde however, communications are still challenging and require more effort than usual. Mars begins slowly but surely to pull away from Saturn, although restrictions and frustration will be felt for a little while longer. So all in all, hang in there.

We’re all leading lives that are different and yet the same.~Anne Frank

The Moon is Void of Course today between EDT USA 6.04am until 8:59am. 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: Expansion

Where there are limitations there is still room for expansion: that is the conundrum of astrological aspects at present. Working with the mind is called for. With the Moon in Taurus considerations are focused on security and values. Mercury retrograde conjunct the Sun invites us to more closely examine our life purpose. A healing process is underway.

Without hope of reward, provide help to others.~Nagarajuna

Theme: Magnifying issues

Issues continue to be magnified with the Moon’s transit over Jupiter and Uranus. Expect some emotional turbulence as a consequence of both these planets connection to expansion and change. Mars and Saturn continue to operate as strange bed-fellows. On the one hand this aspect is ideal for harnessing energy for projects, and on the other it can bring old old karmic unsavory patterns to the surface. Knowing that everything is a result of past actions helps you understand the bigger context at this time.

You must be careful about what you eat, unless you want your body making heart valves out of things like bean dip.~Dave Barry

Theme: Eclipse multiplier

Today EDT USA there will be a solar eclipse between 2-4.30pm. Every action today is magnified, virtuous and non-virtuous – so it’s a good day to focus on ethics and doing the best you can. The Sun and Moon are in the sign of Aries so impulsiveness can be magnified – but also courage and bravery. As with all eclipse times there is much activity preceding the event itself – which happened also to this astrologer who is only now resuming writing what has already passed!

You’re braver than you believe, stronger than you seem, and smarter than you think.~Winnie the Pooh
