Theme: Changing dynamics

Uranus has moved into Gemini bringing a host of potential changes to the way we communicate with one another in the next 7 years. Relationships and alliances re-align, and sudden changes and interruptions to relationships occur. So expect the unexpected. With so many planets in Aries there is lots of activity right now. Take advantage of this dynamic time to make beneficial changes in your life.

Speech is one symptom of Affection
And Silence one—
The perfectest communication
Is heard of none—Emily Dickinson

The Moon is Void of Course until 5.02am tomorrow. Avoid signing contracts at this time. Instead, fine time to tap into your inner feelings and find reflective space. It’s less a doing time than a being time.

Theme: Still Difficult

For two more days the Sun is square Pluto. Powerful pressures arise from within and without. Machines and certain situations continue to break down. What survives the test today will hold up in the long run. The Moon has entered Virgo for a few days now. In the middle of the day things from the past come up. Finally, fiery Uranus has entered Gemini for the next 7 years or so. This will lead to a speeding up of new technologies. This is a volatile combination.

Hardship, in forcing us to exercise greater patience and forbearance in daily life actually makes us stronger and more robust. ~H H the Dalai Lama

Theme: Willfully Resistant

There is a T-square with the Moon, Pluto and apex Sun for the second half of the day. This is very intense. We are likely to ignore others and try to push through our agendas. We are still apt to have to make radical changes in all areas of our lives except where we are very anchored. The Moon in Leo has a playful side, and supports our creative self-expression. Close relationships are still unpredictable.

The only thing meaningful is to make this life a vehicle by which you can come to benefit beings. ~Jetsunma Ahkon Norbu Lhamo

The Moon is void of course today from 12:00 am until 9:06 pm EDT. Do not make any major decisions during this time period.

Theme: Powerful Forces

Among other aspects today, The Sun is square to Pluto, which is very intense. This brings up conflicts within ourselves, and with others, especially authority figures. Machines and even situations will break down. Only the strongest parts of ourselves will be unfazed. Communication is assertive if not aggressive for one more day. And close relationships are unpredictable but exciting if one is not stressed by them.

Women with power can bring a compassionate revolution. ~H H the Dalai Lama

Theme: Quirky moments

Uranus continues to impact relationships creating unpredictability and unexpected change. It’s hard to feel things are stable today. If you are able to retain enthusiasm for change in all its dimensions you will have a better perspective on how you can bring about real change in yourself and others. The Moon moves into Leo providing an opportunity to reconnect with dignity in yourself and others.

The universe is change; our life is what our thoughts make it.~ Marcus Aurelius

The Moon is Void in Cancer from 2.52pm until 3.40pm. Avoid signing contracts or legal documents that involve property. Find gentle time with yourself.

Theme: Spontaneity and Home Life

Uranus is conjunct Venus bringing all sorts of unexpected relational connections and disconnections. Uranus can cut through ego clinging represented by personal planets like Venus. Uranus does not do this in a kindly or nice way so it can be challenging to the ‘nice’ you. On the other end of the spectrum the Moon conjunct Jupiter in Cancer brings a fortuitous aspect to home life and nourishment in all its forms.

That flower
seen as I went down
—as I was coming up
I couldn’t see it. ~Ko Un

Theme: Direct speech

Direct speech is the main theme today with Mercury conjunct Mars in Aries. It’s a ‘take no prisoners’ approach to communication which can be like a dose of salts and wake you up to what is going on. This aspect also signifies combative and argumentative speech. Honesty is helpful in such circumstances. The Sun has entered Taurus bringing a softer, more gentle approach to dealing with events, and complimenting the movement of the Moon into the more sensitive sign of Cancer.

And what is right speech? Abstaining from lying, from divisive speech, from abusive speech, and from idle chatter: This is called right speech.~ Buddha Shakyamuni

Theme: Mind split

Mercury is wedged between Saturn and Mars in a daredevil act which translates into something like ‘between a wall and an enemy’ kind of place. The saving grace is Mercury which is clever and fluid. If you can’t do battle or are into demolition tactics, rise above the situation to see more clearly what is actually going on before acting. The Moon in Gemini also indicates fluidity in connections with yourself and others. Avoid chatter and gossip.

The two worst strategic mistakes to make are acting prematurely and letting an opportunity slip; to avoid this, the warrior treats each situation as if it were unique and never resorts to formulae, recipes or other people’s opinions.~ Paul Coehlo

The Moon is Void of Course until 1:00pm and then all systems of communication are on again. So take a breath and move forward.

Theme: Last Day of Sun in Aries

The Sun is exalted in Aries. The quick action sign is very good for it. The Sun in Taurus for the next month is not bad, but the tempo of events will slow considerably. The biggest factor in the sky though is Pluto sextile Mercury, Mars, Saturn and Neptune. This is very good for getting to the bottom of any issues. Investigation is favored at this time, as is rebuilding anything from our bodies to buildings.

You have to break yourself down to rebuild yourself stronger. ~Tulisa

The Moon is void of course from 11:46 am until 12:19 pm EDT. Do not make any major decisions during this time period.

Theme: Mercury, too

The tight stellium in early Aries has Mercury joining Mars, Saturn and Neptune. Pluto is sextile to all this energy. Beyond that, all the major celestial bodies but Pluto and Jupiter are in Aries or Taurus, just 60 degrees out of the whole 360 degree sky. We should have a lot of energy today, and yet be emotionally grounded. The Moon harmonizes with Jupiter especially in the second half of the day. Group activities are favored, and sales people can be particularly persuasive.

I grew up listening to Queen. Freddy Mercury threw those incredible melodies into his songs. ~ Gary Cherone
