Especially in the middle of the day our emotions run high, because the Moon opposes Pluto. Power struggles with others are common. This is really an opportunity to see the inner workings of our own minds. Late in the day the Moon opposes Mars and Venus. This can bring up more difficulties with others. Patience is the way to go. Finally Pallas Athena and Chiron are united for another week. We can find new ways to heal ourselves and others. It is anger that is a sign of weakness, whereas patience is a sign of strength. ~H H the Dalai Lama
The Moon is void of course from 11:45 am until 3:33 pm EDT. Avoid making any big decisions during this time period.
Her Eminence Jetsunma Ahkön Lhamo and Kunzang Palyul Choling Buddhist Temple are working to send life saving medical supplies to the Ukraine.
Reviews of lethal wounds in autopsy reports reveal that nearly 24% of fatalities could have been prevented if early and effective pre-hospital treatments had been applied. Of those potentially preventable deaths, 85% were caused by uncontrolled hemorrhage. The U.S. is a global leader in developing and manufacturing hemostatic (literally: blood-stopping) wound treatment materials that save lives of wounded soldiers and civilians.
Please join KPC’s Buddhist Relief Initiative, inspired by HH Jetsunma Ahkon Lhamo, to raise funds quickly to purchase a quantity of highly effective U.S.-made hemostatic wound treatment materials directly from the manufacturer. Once purchased, these life-saving supplies will be shipped through an efficient logistical channel directly to a European hub for Ukraine-bound specialized shipments.
Because of the urgency of the need, we hope to raise an initial $6,000 by end of day Monday March 14 in order to place the order Tuesday March 15. We already have Jetsunma offering $1000 as a matching $1 for $1 donation as well as an anonymous donor who stepped forward with a pledge to cover shipping costs AND match $1 to $1 of the next $2,000 raised.
By donating to this campaign, you will provide the wounded in Ukraine with:
$45 – QuikClot Combat Gauze, Z-Fold pouch. Tailored to the needs of combat and tactical medical personnel, QuikClot® Combat Gauze® combines surgical gauze with a proprietary inorganic material that stops arterial and venous bleeding in seconds. Size is 3″ x 4 yd.
$55 – QuikClot Combat Gauze TraumaPad, 12″ x 12″ pouch. Absorbent, flexible, non-woven triple-layer dressing embedded with kaolin, an inorganic material that safely and effectively accelerates the body’s natural clotting cascade. It is specially designed to cover a large surface area or provide a bulky hemostatic dressing for packing a wound.
$100 – QuikClot Belt Trauma Kit. A lightweight and compact wearable holder that hooks on any belt up to 2″ wide and rotates 90 degrees allowing room for other gear. C-A-T tourniquet comes in an external carrier. Contents included are enough to treat one injury: QuikClot Combat Gauze® LE (3″ x 12′, Z-Folded), SWAT-T™ Pressure Dressing, Gloves – nitrile, CPR breathing barrier, SOFTT-W Tourniquet in external carrier.
The energy for the next few days can manifest as escaping into fantasy or intoxicants, or as increased sensitivity to others. This is a time to chose compassionate activity, prayer and meditation. The morning is the time to have closeness with others. There will be some stress in the middle of the day. With the Moon in Cancer for the next three days, the home and family are focal points. Only the development of compassion and understanding for others can bring us the tranquility and happiness we all seek. ~H H the Dalai Lama

It’s both an intense day interspersed with moments of levity and connectedness. It’s important to make space for the latter. The Moon in Gemini combines both a light and a dark twin – both mercurial aspects of the self where change is a constant. The Sun in Pisces invites us to pause, reflect and connect with something bigger than ourselves, a compassionate beating heart that connects us to one another. A loving heart is the beginning of all knowledge.~Thomas Carlyle
The Sun is cushioned by Jupiter and Neptune on either side giving us insight into our capacity to be insightful and generous. On the flip side we need to be more careful with boundaries and over doing it. With the Moon in Gemini short journeys and talking, talking, talking are more noticeable. Mercury moves into Pisces today bringing a sensitive approach to communications. Wisdom is knowing what to do next, virtue is doing it.~ David Starr Jordan
With so much planetary energy in Aquarius there is a lot of enthusiasm for change and freedom of expression among local and global communities. But with Saturn also in Aquarius there are limits right on what is possible but surprises are equally possible. As the Sun approaches Neptune now is the time for more contemplation and meditation that connects you with the greater beating heart of the planet. Today your communication is not always clear but you are more connected with your inner psyche. Liberation leads to Liberation.~G.I. Gurdjieff
The Moon is Void of Course today between EST 9.35 am and 1:40 pm. Avoid starting new projects, making new purchases, planning big events or signing contracts. Take time for inner reflection and self-care.
There is tension in finding an emotional balance today but rewards if you can find time-out to reflect and contemplate. In difficult times remembering to pause is helpful. With Pluto still engaged in restructuring our systems the remaining two year transit also signals the potential for our systems to be more aligned with healing the earth, including addressing climate change and revamping outdated structures. Connecting with good friends is a reminder that you’re not alone. We do not live for ourselves alone; our country, our friends, have a share in us.~Cicero
Mars and Venus cross into Aquarius this morning, and we are now more interested in social causes. They are both still united with Pluto for 3 more days, which bolsters ambition without kindness. Pluto continues in Capricorn for 2 more years. Can our wholesome, honest and compassionate structures survive Pluto’s last two years of assault? May we use the Pisces Sun, Jupiter and Neptune towards transcending the ego. If we really knew the truth of suffering, there would not be one moment that we did not practice with the utmost compassion. ~Jetsunma Ahkon Norbu Lhamo
The Moon is void of course until 3:01 am EST. Avoid making any big decisions during this time period.
If we can control the hypermasculine Mars-Pluto energy, like taking a break from bombing other countries, we will have a lot of communications today, with a sensitivity towards feelings. There continues to be stress on partnerships and close relationships for one more week. Separation may be needed for a while. In a couple of days Mars and Venus will move into Aquarius. This will support the energy for humanitarian causes. In a gentle way, you can shake the world. ~Mahatma Gandhi
The Moon is void of course from 11:03 pm until 3:01 am EST the next day. Avoid making any big decisions during this time period.
The powerful Mars and Pluto masculine energy continues, but there is more balance today, as the Moon passes over Pallas Athena and Chiron. The Moon is in action-oriented Aries but in the first half of the day our feelings are heightened, and we wish to help the downtrodden. In the second half of the day we also wish to heal others and ourselves. We can think with great precision for one more day, and effect the world around us in a big way because Jupiter unites with the Sun for several more days. Think like queen. A queen is not afraid to fail. Failure is another stepping stone to greatness. ~Oprah Winfrey
