With the Moon conjunct Pluto and trine Mars you can draw from deep within, and find fortitude, tenacity and strength. Sometimes at the most difficult times you surprise yourself, and spiritual strength is part of your resilience. Uranus goes retrograde today adding to the significant number of planets retrograde which, together are challenging on many levels, but are also a point of genuflection. The Moon moves into Aquarius today bringing friendship and innovation into the daily equation.

Theme: Dynamic day

The Sun moves into the mutable earth sign of Virgo today bringing a caring, practical and incisive tone to the next month. Virgo is ruled by Mercury, the planet of communication, and Virgos are also gifted details and communicating details. Coincidentally Mercury goes retrograde today until September 14th so you can look forward to honing your communication skills. Although with the best will in the world at this time communication can still be a challenge. Today there are a lot of aspects to the Moon with personal and transpersonal planets. Your emotions and routine get a makeover today but it’s not so bad!

Compassion is the fervent wish that all beings without exception, your worst enemy as well as your friend, find freedom from suffering.~Chagdud Tulku Rinpoche

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

Theme: Grasping the nettle

There are lots of opposition aspects at this time, where planets, asteroids and other significant points oppose one another. This can feel like everything is coming from outside you – events not of your own making determine your course. The reality is more complex if you can see the mirroring effect whereby outer events reflect back to us an internal reality. It is very beneficial to work with calming your mind and opening your heart in these circumstances. The Moon moves into Scorpio today which provides a different kind of opportunity to grasp the nettle of difficult emotions and find resilience in difficult times.

The affairs of the world will go on forever, do not delay the practice of meditation.~Milarepa

The Moon is Void of Course today between EDT USA 4.31pm until 7:22pm. 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: Path of the heart

The Sun is in challenging aspect to Pluto and Neptune and yet this friction offers the possibility of connecting you to your heart and purpose through maintaining your integrity, patience and finding courage. The Moon is in good aspect to Venus drawing in good will and harmony Beauty is more apparent in the world with Venus in good aspect. Pluto is retrograde until October 10 and until then opportunities for growth lie in letting go fears, control and fixations. You can shine a light on your habitual shadows during this time.

You are Buddha in your essence. Nothing can corrupt that – nothing can shake that. That is real confidence – the highest and deepest and most natural confidence – The 12th Tai Situ

Theme: Identifying what you feel

With Saturn and Neptune the only planets in water signs right now, your access to your feelings is filtered through less personal planetary energy. You could say it’s not personal! The Libra moon seeks to balance imbalances and find harmony in daily life. Pluto trine the Moon gives you resilience. The Sun in Leo continues to invite us to connect with and grow our confidence.

Do not disregard small misdeeds, Thinking they are harmless, Because even tiny sparks of flame, Can set fire to a mountain of hay.~Shakyamuni Buddha

Theme: Big energies

With a grand trine between Mars, Pluto and Uranus you can expect seismic shifts as the warrior energy of Mars seeks to find a way to keep the channels open sufficiently to allow for unimpeded transformational change heralded by Pluto and Uranus. With a preponderance of planets in earth signs the focus is on what is doable and practical. The Moon opposite Neptune is an opportunity for discernment and selflessness.

If our true nature is so wonderful, I asked, then why do we suffer? When we try to control the mind or hold on to an experience, we don’t see the innate perfection of the present moment.~Chokyi Nyima Rinpoche speaking with his father Tulku Urgyen Rinpoche

Theme: Virgo moments

With the Moon, Mercury and Mars in the mutable earth sign of Virgo you can get into your garden with your hands and touch the earth with your feet. Communications are clearer and more concise with Virgo and details are a natural focus. Watch out for the hyper-critical and ‘avoidance of conflict aspects’ of Virgo Moon and Mars placements. You can accomplish much today if you don’t waste time on reactivity.

Inquiring minds want to know. Otherwise, you learn nothing.~Jetsunma Ahkon Norbu Lhamo

Theme: A lot going on – sort of!

It’s a new Moon day and a good intention setting day for the next month.The Moon is Void of Course for most of the day so spending time in reflection and analysis today saves you time down the track. Mars trines Uranus brings innovation and thinking outside the box. The Sun is square Uranus leading to build up of energy and ‘break-out’ moments as you make adjustments to suddenly changing circumstances. Letting go of expectation to those you’re closest to means also giving them freedom to choose.

You keep going. That is the bodhisattva’s way. As long as it benefits even one being you have to, without any sense of discouragement, go on.~The 16th Karmapa
