Theme: Helping Others

The Sun has entered me-first, quick action, Aries, but it is tightly united with Neptune, the planet of ego transcendence, today. The best way to use this super-intuitive energy is to help others. We are especially sensitive to how they are feeling. All spiritual activities are enhanced as well. The potential downside of this transit is that we can feel unable to cope with the world. Daydreaming and creative work are good outlets.

If we really knew the truth of suffering, there would not be one moment that we did not practice with the utmost compassion. ~Jetsunma Ahkon Norbu Lhamo

The Moon is void of course today until 2:36 am EDT. Do not make any major decisions until after this time.

Theme: Movement

The new Moon in Aries signals the beginning of a new cycle of activity and whatever counts as a ‘start up’ be it a small or large project. The Moon is also conjunct Saturn and Venus infusing the day with more self-discipline and a deeper love and enjoyment of life. Mercury goes direct tomorrow so enjoy the last day (for a while at least) of a period of time devoted to misapprehension!

The modalities of awakened doing are acceptance, enjoyment, and enthusiasm.~ Ekhart Tolle

Theme: Endings and beginnings

The Moon is nestled just behind the Sun for much of the day signaling completions and then moves past the sun later in the evening beginning the new moon phase signaling beginnings. The passage of the Moon also signals integration of the inner and outer aspects of our psyche. The Sun is sextile Uranus providing some spark while Venus square Jupiter reminds us not to overdo good things like too much food or the wrong kind of food. Life is a balance.

End, begin, all the same. Big change. Sometimes good, sometimes bad.~Aughra in The Dark Crystal

The Moon is Void of Course in Pisces from 9.23pm EDT until 12:03am the next day.

Theme: Sandwiched

Mars sits between the Sun and the Moon today providing more energy and purpose but also provoking more reactivity and off-the cuff responses. Even though Mars is generally considered a malefic planet everything can be harnessed for good. Likewise Mars provides energy for movement in a beneficial direction if one’s motivation is beneficial. The concentration of planets in the water sign of Pisces continues the immersive nature of your experience right now.

Thousands have lived without love, not one without water.~ WH Auden

Theme: Reflective time

As the Sun approaches Neptune physical energy levels drop and inner work can begin as one’s purpose is realigned inwardly. Yet, boundaries are more mutable. Take time to ensure discernment and avoid escapism. The Moon moves into Pisces later today strengthening the emphasis on all things Piscean: spirituality, hidden karmic patterns, compassion towards those who are suffering and replenishment through silence.

Timely silence, then, is precious, for it is nothing less than the mother of the wisest thoughts.~Diadochus

Theme: Alignment

In the big picture of the planets, Sun and Moon, all the energy is in less than half of the sky right now. Venus in Aries is the closest planet to the focal point of this wedge of alignment. This indicates that we are affectionate now but don’t want to be tied down. We also don’t want to give in to others in our close relationships. Compromise is needed in some instances. The Moon continues for two more days in Aquarius and we tend to think our feelings, but are also humanitarian oriented.

One of the hallmarks of the sign of Aquarius is the campaign for justice. ~Morgan Fairchild

Theme: From Ambitious to Humanitarian

The Moon goes from Capricorn to Aquarius during the middle of the day. We have tended to be ambitious and even cold hearted. Now we will be a bit intellectual about our feelings, but will be concerned about friendship and humanitarian values. In the second half of the day the Moon unites with Pluto which brings up powerful emotions. Mental energy is peaking today. Apply this mental prowess towards what is important now. Can we be patient and kind, but not a door mat?

No evil is there similar to anger, No austerity to be compared with patience. ~Shantideva

Theme: Mental Energy

For several days Mercury is conjunct Mars which gives us abundant mental energy. This supports us in debating, but could lead to angry outbursts. We may even be prone to accidents due to our impatience. It is best to be prepared to be patient, but still have integrity with our point of view. The Moon is opposed to Jupiter especially in the first half of the day. We are broad-minded and generally feeling good. Avoid overdoing things, and arrogance during this time.

If you can help others; if you cannot do that , at least do not harm them. ~H H the Dalai Lama

Theme: Activity and Flow

The Moon has moved into the practical sign of Capricorn where you can find grounding in goal-oriented activities that have tangible outcomes. You have more courage today to make good decisions if they are done with a tolerant, non-reactive place. Capricorn is a cardinal sign and activity is in its nature so it’s a helpful placement for the Moon in terms of getting things done. The Sun is in the mutable (sometimes changeable) sign of Pisces that seeks peace through flowing around obstacles.

It is better to light one candle than curse the darkness.~Chinese Proverb
