Theme: Finding the ignition

With an absence of planets in cardinal or fire signs there is less spark to start things. However, with the Moon Void of Course most of the day reinforces that it’s a good time to progress projects you’ve started. The square aspect between Neptune, Moon and Venus increases focus on how the motivation underlying our emotional responses to others isn’t clear. It’s a good day to contemplate cause and result. The disseminating moon phase signals a time of absorption and reflection following the full moon.

If the extension of your Compassion does not include all living beings, you will be unable to find Peace.~Albert Schweitzer

The Moon is Void of Course today between EDT USA 8.36am until 5.30pm. Avoid starting new projects, making new purchases, planning big events or signing contracts during this time. Take time for inner reflection and self-care.

There is a transformative quality to the journey that Scorpio embodies: the journey through life’s challenges can turn straw into gold through a transformation in perspective.

Theme: All things considered

With Mars at home in Scorpio conjunct Mercury and the Sun your focus and attention can be laser like. You can really investigate your inner psychology productively. Be aware of the force of your opinions and do not seek to sway others through force or righteousness. There is a mystic rectangle between Uranus, Venus, Ceres and the Moon bringing an opportunity to resolve tension and stress by focusing on more productive, supportive avenues.

Although it is embarrassing and painful, it is very healing to stop hiding from yourself. It is healing to know all the ways that you’re sneaky, all the ways you hide out, all the ways that you shut down, deny, close off, criticize people, all your weird little ways…by knowing yourself you’re coming to know humanness together.~Pema Chodron

Theme: Awakening and love in the ether

With the Moon conjunct Neptune opposite Venus you can feel an experience of love but you will need to be discerning about your affections. Are they real? What is your motivation.

Take the lowest place, and you shall reach the highest.~Milarepa

Theme: A lot going on

Mostly beneficial aspects mean you don’t slide into too many challenges – except for that part of the day were Moon conjuncts Saturn – giving you little or no wriggle room to deal with a situation. It is what it is. The Moon in Pisces compliments the Sun in Scorpio. You can really connect with deep underlying emotions today and give them an opportunity for letting them go like bubbles rising from a deep spring. Much is accomplished today. Dedicate your good efforts to the welfare of all being.

…compassion is of particular importance. It is the seed of the Great Way in the beginning; the water that makes the crops grow in the middle and finally, the ripening of the fruit.~HH 41st Sakya Trinzin Ngawang Kunga

The Moon is Void of Course today between EDT USA until 4:33am. Avoid starting new projects, making new purchases, planning big events or signing contracts during this time. Take time for inner reflection and self-care.

Theme: Fortitude and Support

The grand trine between Saturn and the Sun continues to offer a silver lining: when fortitude, perseverance and diligence are applied good outcomes result. The Sun moves into Scorpio today bringing emotional depth and the ability to transform one’s view into play. It’s a good month to conduct investigative research and deal with shared resources. The Moon squares Uranus bringing feelings of separation to the fore, for a time.

My worth is not, and should never be, attached to my ability to produce things. I’m a human, not a machine. I have emotions and anxieties that sometimes hinder my ability to perform. But instead of treating my anxiety as a setback, I now view it as an important signal for me to step back, reset and rest before I continue.~Naydeline Mejia

Theme: Indeterminate feelings

With Neptune square the Moon you will feel an underlying lack of focus if you have to perform in the so-called-real world. However, if you take time out to reflect and slow down it can be a rewarding time and instead of feeling exhausted you could feel rejuvenated. Elsewhere in the cosmos there are good aspects between a number of planets enabling you to bring focus and diligence to matters at hand.

Just as lotuses are only found growing in muddy water, wisdom can only be found in our negative emotions.~Dzongsar Jamyang Khyentse Rinpoche

Theme: Testing relationships

Moon square Venus creates emotional tests that you seek to overcome. On a broader level the Sun in Libra and Moon in Sagittarius adds to more optimism through diplomacy and insights into the big picture. How we think and communicate and identify our purpose are under scrutiny as the south node conjoins Mercury and the Sun. This is an opportunity for self-reflection and re-setting your goals and purpose. News that is important arrives.

The moment you give up hope, the person turns up. The Spiritual path works in this way. It is a matter of wearing out all expectation.~Chogyam Trungpa

Theme: Reckonings

With the Sun exactly conjunct the south node it’s a time when past causes and conditions catch up with you – and it’s a mixed bag. Sometimes going in the opposite direction, away from your comfort zone can prove the most rewarding step. The Moon moves into Sagittarius today bringing the winds of promise to a bitterly divided world. If we can make friends with ourselves we can make friends with our neighbors.

May the hail of lava, fiery stones, and weapons henceforth become a rain of blossom. May those whose hell it is to fight and wound be turned to lovers offering their flowers.~Shantideva
