Theme: Seemingly quiet

The Moon is Void of Course for much of the day so it’s a relatively inactive time until it’s not! The Moon moves into Scorpio increasing both emotional intensity and psychological depth, especially if you’ve got the courage for self-inquiry and investigation. The Moon is opposite Chiron today creating more sensitivity around areas of emotional hurt and pain. Pluto trine Venus also adds to the layers of complexity in relationships that can be unpacked if one is willing to understand how power influences the dynamics of relationships.

The Moon is Void of Course in Libra from between 4.51am and 3.02pm today ESDT USA. Avoid signing major contracts at this time. Instead find a way to make time for self-reflection.

Theme: Diplomacy required

The Moon is opposite Mars today providing ample opportunity for dealing with reactivity versus pausing in order to understand what maybe better left unsaid, for the moment at least or until you understand what is driving your reaction. Mars in Aries wants direct engagement while the Moon in Libra seeks a diplomatic, peaceful process. When under stress the Moon in Libra can prevaricate and dither. So is there a middle way?

Normally, we take our reference frame for granted; we mistake it for “reality.”~ KC Cole

Theme: Finding balance in constant activity

Aries is a cardinal-activity sign. With so many planets in Aries and the Moon in Libra today and tomorrow there is a way to find balance in this world of unceasing activity and change. The Libran Moon seeks balance, and achieving balance rests on making informed, unrushed decisions and consulting with the right people – otherwise called ‘friends’ in a broader sense.

The best and safest thing is to keep a balance in your life, acknowledge the great powers around us and in us. If you can do that, and live that way, you are really a wise human.~Euripides

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.

Wednesday by Wangmo

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
