Theme: Even Luckier

We are even luckier today because not only is the Sun almost exactly 60 degrees from Jupiter, but the Part of Fortune is also united with the Sun today. Most endeavors should go smoothly, and it is a nice time to be in social gatherings. The Moon is transitioning from Aquarius to Pisces in the middle of the day. We become more sensitive and intuitive for a few days. This supports compassionate action, prayer and meditation.

We have to develop the habit of putting some spaciousness into our mind in order to accomplish spaciousness at the time of our death. ~Jetsunma Ahkon Norbu Lhamo

The Moon is void of course today from 1:10 am until 1:41 pm EDT. Do not make any major decisions during this time period.

Theme: Lucky

It may seem like luck tomorrow and for a few days but the Sun sextile to Jupiter is useful in almost any activities. We wish to be part of something greater than ourselves. This is a good time to be with groups and friends. It is also a good time to look at plans for the future. And relationships with authority figures should go well. There is some tension, however, as the Moon squares Mercury in the morning and the Sun in the evening.

Shallow men believe in luck or circumstance. Strong men belief in cause and effect. ~Ralph Waldo Emerson

Theme: Deep Analysis

Especially during the middle third of the day the Moon unites with Pluto which brings up issues from deep within our psyches. We will have intense emotional experiences as well. We may find ourselves being obsessive, but this too shall pass as the Moon moves on. Close relationships can be positively or negatively affected. There is a spiritual energy as the Moon is also sextiling Neptune for much of the day. This is an opportunity to practice compassion.

The only thing that is 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 until 3:29 am EDT. Do not make any major decisions until this time ends.

Theme: Expansion

The Moon and Jupiter are opposite toay, connecting you with a larger emotional landscape that is linked to you being connected to something much bigger than yourself. Mercury is moving out of it’s square aspect to Pluto lessening the likelihood of impactful communications with underlying, often hidden agendas, potentially derailing you. Forearmed is forewarned. Lessons are learned in such situations.

Speech is but broken light upon the depth of the unspoken.~ George Eliot

The Moon is Void of Course from 10.18am to Friday 3.27am USA ESDT. Avoid signing major contracts at this time. Center on your emotional heart. Find space and enjoy small beauties.

Theme: Pragmatics

With the Sun and Moon both in earth signs it’s a good time to deal with practical matters and solutions, and pay attention to the limitations of the physical realm. The Sun in Taurus invites enjoyment too of creature comforts. As with anything it’s a balance to avoid sensory overload.

People are plagued by their senses if they act without restraint to attain their desires. … If one is dragged along as the victim of their natural five senses, their adversities wax like the moon in the bright fortnight.~ Mahabharata

Theme: Unfixed thinking

Mercury is square Pluto encouraging us to go beyond force of habit in our thinking, and question any iron-clad, or rigidr views. It’s equally important not to impose your views on others, otherwise there will be a back-lash. Jupiter continues to be square to Mars. It’s a big time and in order to deal with the feeling of overwhelm you can re-center by reminding yourself of the wish to be of benefit to others which is like a steering wheel on the ship of life, setting your course in the right direction.

The true ship is the ship builder.~ Ralph Waldo Emerson

Theme: Religion, Philosophy and Long Distance Travel

For a few days, the Moon is in Sagittarius and today it harmonizes with Pluto and Neptune. This is a more upbeat sign for the Moon than Scorpio was, and our minds turn towards religion, philosophy and long distance travel. Mercury has entered Taurus for just two weeks. We are slower, affectionate and determined in our communication. Finally Mars is square Jupiter for the next week. We should proceed with caution, but can then accomplish a great deal.

You need to begin to stabilize the mind by sensing the difference between your nature and your conceptualizations… ~Jetsunma Ahkon Norbu Lhamo

The Moon is void of course today until 2:35 am EDT. Do not make any major decisions until then.

Theme: Responsibility in Relationships

Venus is almost exactly 60 degrees from Saturn today, which brings up the issue of what are we responsible for in our close relationships. This is a good time for a frank discussion about what is expected of you and another. This transit also favors business generally, especially when it comes to the arts. We are also attracted to older people today. The Moon is in Scorpio and forms a yod with Venus and Saturn. This requires some emotional adjustment especially in the middle third of the day.

Compassion and Enlightenment can never be separated. ~Jetsunma Ahkon Norbu Lhamo

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.
