Theme: Alignement

The Sun is trine the north node and sextile the south node strengthening new directions. The Sun in Cancer aids working with the past to disentangle from those connections that are unproductive. The Moon in Libra seeks peace at all costs but sometimes the cost is too high. Look at what is your true motivation and purpose for seeking harmony. Sometimes decisions require carefully weighing. Don’t get ahead of yourself.

Theme: Changing moments

The Solstice has just passed and the Sun has moved into Cancer stirring the pot of the past, for better or for worse. Home is the centerpiece of this sign because it is where we ideally find nurturing, strength and support in order to move out into the world. We need health boundaries and supportive structures to do this work. Mercury is close to Jupiter expanding our ideas and sense of self-purpose. The Moon is opposite Saturn today emphasizing self discipline.

The main thing is our Bodhicitta. Our motivation to do good. If we’re always on that side, always without any deviation, all will go well.~ Her Eminence Jetsunma Ahkon Norbu Lamo

Tuesday-Thursday 2026

Theme: Catching up!

The new Moon has transitioned from Cancer and home concerns to Leo and the continuing search for a dignified pride that is not self-seeking. Leo energy can access generosity when it is well balanced which is strengthened in relationships too, with Venus also in Leo. Mars in Taurus seeks security in the known, including finances. This placement is good for good for inner chi and physical strength, less so for actual change.

When it is obvious that the goals cannot be reached, don’t adjust the goals, adjust the action steps.~ Confucius
