Theme: Stay focused and relax

The Moon is in good aspect to Venus today bringing a calmness to the latter part of the day. You have more energy and insights today – and can make connections between ideas more easily. There is however, a tension in finding a balance between your daily routine, and the need for stability, and your long range goals to achieve your purpose. There is a preponderance of planets in earth and water signs which enables real practical outcomes to projects that have altruistic goals.

Expand your mindfulness and remain pervasive like the earth.~Dakpo Tashi Namgyal

If you are able to link into the aspects the Moon makes with the outer planets – Uranus, Neptune and Pluto – you can also harness larger resources for purposes that seek to improve the well being of the collective.

Theme: Grounding

A preponderance of planets in earth signs signifies it’s a time for actions – not procrastinating. The earth element helps ground us if we’re prepared to move forward otherwise it can feel like being stuck in the mud. There are opportunities to see the bigger picture today and have more emotional insights. Jupiter goes retrograde today until December, signaling that it’s good to take time to think and analyze your plans concerning finances, education, humanitarian efforts and travel. Jupiter retrograde still continues to benefit us – but invites us to slow down down and consider before moving ahead. It will save time later.

Seek the treasure you value most dearly: if you bow your head, let it be to a lofty mountain. Whāia te iti kahurangi ki te tūohu koe me he maunga teitei.~Maori proverb

Theme: Hauling it away

With Pluto the lead planet in Capricorn square the moons nodes plus Saturn in Pisces past negative actions materialize in your present life in significant ways: you can help antidote the ultimate causes through finding compassion in your heart for those in similar circumstances, not losing heart, and stabilizing your mind through meditation and other supports. Today there are lots of opportunities for replenishing yourself after the whirlwind activity of the full moon. Now it’s time to take stock and complete the tasks at hand.

Self-nature is like a puffball. You should pray to see it for what it is: poof! Just like that. You should pray with all your heart to realize the primordial, natural pure view – the Nature which is free of all concepts, all mind-chatter. That Nature miraculously survives beneath all the garbage we pile on top of it. ~Jetsunma Ahkon Norbu Lhamo

Theme: Dissolving and revolving

There is a nice harmony with the Sun in Virgo and the Moon in Pisces. They are opposite yet compliment one another. Both placements, if favorable, are geared towards ending suffering through compassionate activity. Today the full moon peaks. It’s the high water mark which means that there is more activity and heightened energy – and sometimes events can reach a critical level before tapering off. With Saturn in the mix there is a feeling of restriction before release. When the time is right the heart opens. A moonlight bath after sunset could do the trick.

The Moon is Void of Course today until 9.56am EDT USA. Avoid starting new projects, making new purchases, planning big events or signing contracts during this time. Take time for inner reflection and self-care.

No one ever said life was fair. Just Eventful.~Carol Burnett

Theme: Making space

With Venus exactly squaring Jupiter coupled with the waxing moon this transit is peaking. This transit marks a very busy, growing and explorative time. You revisit your values and review the dynamics of your relationships with others in order to grow and expand. It’s not a straightforward process as you need to make space for these impending changes, and your plate already feels full. Mars exactly opposes Neptune today weakening boundaries and making you more prone to fatigue. It’s not the right time to act but it is the right time to reflect and examine.

Take care of yourselves and take care of those around you. Laugh, rest, enjoy silence and non-movement and be at ease within the basic nature of your own mind, that which is simply like a vast boundless sky.~Jetsun Khandro Rinpoche
