Theme: Looking for Excitement

For the next week Mars is sextile Uranus which makes us impatient, and we look for new experiences. This is not a great time for the same old thing or painstaking discipline. The Sun is still square to Jupiter which is a mostly positive. Just don’t be sloppy with details or be overbearing. And beware of the tendency to take on too much. Mercury is trine Jupiter for one more day. This aids in making plans that have the big picture in mind.

The certainty of life is beautiful, but the uncertainty is exciting and amazing. ~Unknown

The Moon is void of course today from 5:30 pm until 7:33 pm EDT. Do not make any major decisions during this time period.

Theme: Ease, Confidence and Overdoing it?

The Sun squares Jupiter for several more days. If we are naturally conservative we will take on more and be successful. But if we tend to be bold we can take on too much during this period. Beware of being arrogant as well. Especially in the middle of the day the Moon trines Jupiter which bolsters our mood even more. Relationships should go well, and there is a boost in areas of religion, philosophy and long-distance travel.

Open your eyes and look around. All sentient beings are suffering. ~Jetsunma Ahkon Norbu Lhamo

Theme: Full Moon

The Moon is full today in Libra at 10.13pm ESDT. Social activities and networking are magnified with the full moon along with diplomacy and making the world a more beautiful place. Insights and self-discipline are also in play as the Moon opposes Neptune and Saturn today. Today the Moon, through the Sun, shines on our inner emotional patterns which are heightened and therefore easier to see and let go and heal. It’s a balancing time of yin and yang.

And lift a cup to bright moon, ask it to join me,
Then face my shadow and we become three.
The moon never has known how to drink,
All my shadow does is follow my body,
But with moon and shadow as companions a while,
This joy I find will surely last till spring.~Li Bai

Theme: Whatever you choose!

The Moon is opposite Mars today: it pays to invest heavily in patience when you are triggered by others. It’s simply a reactive day that affords you more opportunity to watch your mind and press the pause icon on whatever ‘track’ is playing. The Moon in Virgo is attentive to details but can be finicky too. There are insights to be had today in respect of your life purpose.

Facts are cheels that winna ding, An’ downa be disputed.~ Robert Burns

The Moon is Void of Course in Virgo ESDT from 9.20am-10.50pm. Avoid signing contracts and focus on the small things.

Theme: Grounded relationships

Venus moves into Taurus today providing grounding and solidity in your connections with others. There is an enjoyment of life with Venus in Taurus. If you can bring consideration of others and apply this placement to making the environment both meaningful and beautiful the benefits of this placement are magnified. The Moon in Virgo is opposite Mercury so communications are eased and circumstances change quickly today. Mercury is also trine Jupiter giving you a wider view of your purpose, and more likelihood of beneficial communications.

The more clearly we can focus our attention on the wonders and realities of the universe about us the less taste we shall have for the destruction of our race. Wonder and humility are wholesome emotions, and they do not exist side by side with a lust for destruction.~ Rachel Carson

Theme: Strength and Harmony

The close connection between Saturn and Pluto continues for another couple of weeks. We are able to withstand considerable tests of strength, and can accomplish a great deal. We know how to manage our energies and. we are likely to advance in our professions. Especially in the middle of the day the Moon and Venus are trining each other. Although they are in fire signs, the tendency is to be social and indulgent. It is a nice time to start a new relationship.

When you go through hardships and decide not to surrender, that is strength. ~Arnold Schwarzenegger

The Moon is void of course today from 1:29 pm until 3:34 pm EDT. Do not make any major decisions during this time period.

Theme: Asteroids

All 4 major asteroids are connected strongly to planets today. The bad news is that we can be separated from loved ones due to some crisis. The good news is that we can execute plans with confidence and good result. It is also good that we are innovative in our relationships. We also have the ability to focus our minds especially well. The Moon continues in playful Leo for two more days.

If the dinosaurs had a space program they would not be extinct. ~Carl Sagan

Theme: Isolation and Responsibility

There is one more day with the Sun tightly conjunct with Saturn. There is a tendency to feel isolated and to have more responsibility than usual today. There is good news in that Saturn is separating from Neptune, which should help our mood. And we also get a boost from the Sun exalted in Aries for 3 more weeks. Mercury continues in dreamy Pisces. This supports the artist and mystic in all of us. And the Moon moves from homey Cancer to creative Leo in the middle of the day.

… as a human being I have a much larger responsibility towards the whole human family– which indeed we all have. ~H H the Dalai Lama

The Moon is void of course today from 7:41 am until 10:11 am EDT. Do not make any major decisions during this time period.

Theme: Calibrating

As the Sun in Aries pulls away from the Saturn/Neptune conjunction which is also gradually separating, you can review your strategies for moving forward. The sign of Aries bestows enthusiasm and energy for starting or initiating projects. It also gives courage for going where you haven’t gone before. The Moon in Cancer invites you to find a nurturing space so that you can replenish yourself.

Confidence is the most beautiful thing you can possess.~ Sabrina Carpenter
