Forward reversals!

With Mercury and now Jupiter retrograde there are opportunities to better understand the nature of these planetary energies. With Mercury retrograde the nature of communications requires increased mindfulness. With Jupiter retrograde the nature of good fortune is revealed to comprise past, present and future virtuous actions. Jupiter is also trine the Saturn/Neptune conjunction illuminating the nature of karmic and spiritual challenges.

Theme: Expansion

The Moon is conjunct Jupiter infusing the day with optimism, joy and idealism. Propitious opportunities are more likely to arise. As Mercury is retrograde it is a time for attending to details but getting them double checked. As Mercury approaches Mars by conjunction it is a good time for investigation and research. You may be asked to make decisive decisions but because Mercury is retrograde you also need to be particularly diligent about the ramifications about any decisions.

If you merely notice thoughts with mindfulness, Positive thoughts keep creating hopes Negative thoughts keep creating fears. By doing this, you keep accruing and compounding karma; This process is the true source of samsara.~ Patrul Rinpoche

Theme: Communication connundrums

With Mercury poised to go retrograde on Sunday you can prepare yourself for Mercury back-sliding into Mars making speech bracingly direct and unflinching, especially in the sign of Sagittarius. So it behooves everyone to think before they speak. However, Mercury/Mars is also great for investigations and bestows mental acuity. Venus moves into Scorpio today deepening commitments and intensifying relationships.

And what is right speech? Abstaining from lying, from divisive speech, from abusive speech, and from idle chatter: This is called right speech.~ The Buddha

The Moon is Void of Course in Taurus from 3.24am-10.20am EST USA. Avoid signing contracts at this time. Spend time in reflection.

Theme: Fullness

The Moon is in Taurus seeks security and peace and compliments the Sun in Scorpio which seeks authenticity, truth and transformation. The Moon is full early on today (EST USA) – concluding a monthly cycle of activity. Energy builds and then will gradually subside once this phase is past. Like the tides of the ocean the Moon also rules the tides of the fluids in the body. The T-square between Venus, Chiron and Jupiter continues to invite healing of relationships to others and oneself.

I get by with a little help from my friends.~ The Beatles

Theme: Be mindful

Mars opposes Uranus at 12:30pm EST USA creating strong compulsion. Be extremely mindful. Do whatever it takes to harness this energy with the right motivation to be of benefit. Mars has now moved into Sagittarius creating adventure, optimism, inspiration and a wider more uplifting view of challenges. Take opportunities while they are given. The Moon moves into Taurus providing emotional stability in times of change.

In all people I see myself, none more and not one a barley-corn less, And the good or bad I say of myself I say of them.~ Walt Whitman 

The Moon is Void of Course in Aries from 6.21am until 11:15am. Avoid major transactions or contract signing during this time. Find time for inner reflection.

Theme: Making time and space

Jupiter is square Venus and trine Saturn almost exactly. Jupiter square Venus creates great expectations with respect to others so be aware of that tendency in yourself. Don’t push. Give relationships time to find their equilibrium. Jupiter trine Saturn creates good conditions for both work and expansion of opportunities. The Moon is in Aries which gives extra charge and energy to achieving ones goals.

We too are made of wonders, of great and ordinary loves, of small invisible worlds, of a need to call out through the dark.~ Ada Limon

Theme: Big ideas and expansive views

Mercury, the planet of communication has moved into Sagittarius opening up your viewpoint, enabling you to see the horizon and experience a wider perspective of things. Sagittarian energy is idealistic and ideas focused. It speaks to all forms of learning and journeys of the mind. The flip side is there will be more direct/blunt speech and communications with this placement. The Moon is now in Aquarius focusing your attention on alternative ways to your desired destination.

I feel that the greatest reward for doing is the opportunity to do more.~Jonas Salk

Theme: Wisdom gained through experience

Jupiter is square Chiron the planet, or planetoid, concerned with healing emotional wounds. Jupiter can both expand and open up the wound – yet also provide healing insights and positive reflections on moving forward. The Moon also makes a T-square today with Jupiter and Chiron so use this dynamic aspect to reflect on how you would like to do things differently. The Moon is in Capricorn emphasizing pragmatism, ‘can-do’ projects and meaning what you say and saying what you mean!

…afflictive thoughts act as a great hindrance in attaining Buddha-hood. they also hinder in accomplishing the mundane activities too. So, try to dispel these thoughts as much as possible.~ HH Penor Norbu Rinpoche

Theme: Choose your focus

The Sun is square Pluto signifying the need for a wise outlet for pent up energy and frustration. These feelings are compounded by the Moon square Saturn and Neptune. Steer clear of conflict and analyze the source of your misalignment in order to get a better understanding of yourself. While the Sun remains in Scorpio it is timely to see what areas of your life need real transformation. Venus in Libra reminds us that true friendship can be very grounding in difficult times.

I generate bodhicitta – thorough, expansive, and supreme. For all beings possess the cause of buddhahood; Not a single one is unsuitable as a vessel.~ Jigme Lingpa

Theme: Deep sea diving

The Sun has moved into the sign of Scorpio adding to the three celestial bodies in Scorpio already – Mars, Mercury and the Moon. The sign of Scorpio invites us to connect with our inner power but, at the same time, be aware of that which is deeply felt and hidden within us. We are our own cipher with the potential to uncover our deep psychological patterns that impel us to react but patterns that are not easily seen or identified. Ultimately, Scorpionic energy is transformative if we are fearless enough to let go the past and slough off outmoded ways of being.

Our images/feelings/thoughts have to be conflicted before we see the need for change.~ Gloria E. Anzaldua

The Moon is Void of Course in Scorpio from 4.38pm USA ESDT until 12:18am the next day. Avoid signing contracts and making critical appointments on this day. Find time for contemplation.
