Theme: Communication and Contracts

With Venus/Mercury/North Node conjunction pay attention to positive developments in communications and contracts that can set you on the right path. It’s a time to find your True North whereby your life destination can be better aligned at this time. Venus and Mercury are now in Pisces encouraging you to connect with your heart to guide your way. The Moon moves into Sagittarius today: freedom, expansion, and re-igniting the spark beckon.

La Bella Luna! Where ever she is in the sky she is an inspiration to all who can receive an inspiration.~ HE Jetsunma Ahkon Norbu Lhamo

The Moon is Void of Course in Scorpio from 2am to 2.22am EST USA – almost a blink of an eye. Nevertheless, avoid signing contracts at this time.

Theme: Energy subsides and increases

The Moon is in its last quarter and with the waning phases it’s a good opportunity to complete tasks and projects and take time for reflection about what you can best accomplish at this time. The Moon is in Scorpio bringing your deeper, habitual self to the surface. Find time to do some inner psychological exploration. Four planets remain in Aquarius and the energy is a little contradictory – seeking social change and justice and yet there is also our resistance to change.

Everyone is a moon, and has a dark side which he never shows to anybody.~ Mark Twain

Theme: Irritable and Rushed

For much of the day we are hurried and prone to needless disputes. This is because the Moon is square to Mars. It is best to have a physical or intellectual outlet today. Beware of any situation where an accident can occur. In the evening the danger passes and the Moon is trine to Jupiter, which gives us a sense of well-being. It will be particularly rewarding to help others at this time. This is also a day when we can be lucky in relationships.

Anger cannot be overcome by anger. If someone is angry with you and you show anger in return the result is a disaster. ~H H the Dalai Lama

Theme: Dreamy

Mercury has entered the sign, Pisces, for the next 2 months and 1 week (because Mercury goes retrograde in 19 days, and stays in Pisces the whole time). This enhances our imagination. This can be useful in creative work, however it can be harder to communicate clearly. We are more sensitive and pick up on the moods of others more easily. The Moon enters Scorpio in the afternoon, and we will see some things that we would rather not see for a few days. It is a good time for getting to the bottom of issues though.

We have a habit of not being able to break away from the entrancement of our lives. ~Jetsunma Ahkon Norbu Lhamo

The Moon is void of course from 7:01 am until 2:14 pm EST. Do not make any major decisions during this time period.

Theme: Ease and Optimism

Especially during the middle of the day the Moon makes two nice aspects: trines the Sun and square Jupiter. This is a good time for group activity because of the harmony between our purpose and our emotions. We may feel energized, but will definitely feel good. We are also optimistic but should be careful not to be overbearing. Our minds are turned towards religion, philosophy and long distance travel.

We are all in the gutter, but some of us are looking at the stars. ~Oscar Wilde

Theme: Choosing positions wisely

Maintaining flexibility is the key when your mental activity is disrupted by unexpected calls on your time, asking you to switch gears or change plans. The Moon in Libra invites us to examine the basis of our decisions wisely and not to rush unnecessarily. In this space equivocation is not an answer. The Moon is opposite Neptune which magnifies your feelings and can give rise to seemingly source-less anxiety. Find activities to ground you. Touch the earth.

Decision is a risk rooted in the courage of being free.~ Paul Tillich

The Moon is Void of Course in Virgo from 2.49am to 4.32am EST USA. Avoid signing contracts at this time or getting up to mischief!

Theme: Tidying up and finding sustaining routines

The Moon is in Virgo, and like all earth signs invites us to slow down and ground ourselves on this earthly plane through manual activities, attending to details, communicating the finer points, caring for ones health, and walking puppies! There is a freeing side to Virgo energy which is linked to an innate inner wholeness. Venus is sextile Chiron, helping us address woundedness in relationships.

She found that the whole world could be contained in one place because that place was herself.~ Jeanette Winterson

Theme: Bracing for change

Uranus goes direct today bringing new directions and a cleared way for significant social changes. It’s hard to brace yourself in such circustances. Rather, step into the place of change that is of most benefit to the community in which you live. The Moon has moved into Virgo enabling you to more easily deal with (and check-off) the smaller but important tasks that keep falling off your list. Having said that Virgo energy loves lists! The next few days can be a productive time.

How can you know what you’re capable of if you don’t embrace the unknown?~ Esmeralda Santiago

Theme: Equivocal energy

With Neptune in one camp (Aries) and Saturn in Pisces for a little longer there is kind of dissonant energy for achieving material objectives and feeling settled. This is accompanied by a certain level of unpredictability. The silver lining is Venus conjunct Mercury smoothing communication and relational glitches. Moreover Mercury is sextile Chiron providing a conduit for healing communications. For this short time that the Moon remains in Leo remind yourself of the importance of play and creativity.

Nothing happens unless something moves.~ Albert Einstein

The Moon is Void of Course in Leo from 8.55am until 10.21pm. Avoid signing contracts. Take time to be gentle with yourself.

Theme: Full Moon

The Moon has entered Leo and is exactly full this afternoon. This can bring up small crises, but is generally energizing. It is hard to integrate our conscious and subconscious minds, our home and professional life and our thoughts and feelings today. The Moon is in playful Leo, and the Sun is in humanitarian Aquarius. The part of fortune is opposed to Uranus, especially in the middle of the day. Something surprising and good will happen then.

There are nights when the wolves are silent and only the Moon howls. ~George Carlin
