Theme: Preoccupied

Saturn conjunct Venus focuses you on past relationships. The Sun conjunct Chiron also brings up past reckonings and healing. Preoccupation is a major theme in both these conjunctions. The question is how to transform past experience and events into a new way forward. Saturn conjunct Mercury helps you think through seemingly intractable situations.

The benefits of meditating day and night just on death and impermanence are said to be boundless. One sees that everything that appears is perishable and thereby gains a deep sense of nonattachment to outer objects. The fire of diligence in the performance of positive actios is set ablaze.~HH Dudjom Rinpoche

The Moon is Void of Course from 3:49pm until 9.12pm. Avoid signing contracts or starting major new projects. In this hiatus period self-reflection is more powerful than usual.

Theme: Balancing

The Moon in Virgo moves opposite the triumvirate of Venus, Saturn and Mercury providing many opportunities for deepening commitments in relationships and paying attention to important details. Mercury is now direct and conjunct the north node bringing meaningful messages. Take time for contemplating you’re inner life which is in turn helpful to achieving balance in your outer life and therefore being of more benefit to others.

When self-interest is entrenched, How can you benefit others?~ Patrul Rinpoche

Theme: Touching the earth

The Moon has moved into Virgo bringing a focus on earthly activity including gardening, care of small animals and dealing with the microcosm of communication. Virgo is also the sign of all crafts. See how you can harness this energy today and tomorrow. Mercury and Saturn are conjunct bestowing more discipline than usual on your communications and also bringing less mercurial wriggle-room to communications and thinking.

We have become caught up in a materialistic and greedy world, so many of us. This has dire consequences for the future. It seems that there has been some disconnect between the clever mind and the human heart, love and compassion.~Jane Goodall

The Moon is Void of Course from 12:08am until 9.40am. Avoid major activities including signing contracts. Spend time when you can in contemplation during this time.

Theme: Threading the needle

As the Sun moves towards Chiron it’s an opportunity to look at how you trip yourself up with past habits that no longer serve you, habits that are in turn related to past emotional wounds. Chiron embodies the wounded healer inviting us to transform our individual wounds on behalf of all beings which in turn means developing compassion for others. In this way we are of more benefit to others.

Theme: Talking through things

The Moon moves into Gemini today bringing a lighter touch to communications generally. Mercury’s proximity to Jupiter expands your understanding of the wider world you inhabit. However, Jupiter can be over-expansive too: avoid overdoing it tomorrow in particular. Examine how good communication skills and beneficial relationships go hand-in-hand. Everyone is finding their way with the movement of Neptune into Aries. Expect some initial upheavals with this first period of Neptune into Aries.

If speaking is silver, then listening is gold. ― Turkish Proverb

The Moon is Void of Course from 1.43pm until 4.26pm. Avoid signing contracts during this time. Instead, seem small as beautiful and set up achieving small tasks and spend time in contemplation.

Theme: Finding stability

Neptune has moved into Aries for the first time since 1865 – ushering in a period of instability in the wider world as the tension between systemic constraints and freedom becomes more evident. On a daily level the Moon in Taurus brings grounding and stability to the day, notwithstanding that later in the day the Moon closes in on Uranus bringing some unexpected change – as opposed to predictable change. Venus is exactly conjunct the north node bringing alignment in relationships, including ushering in new connections that are a more in in-keeping with where you are heading. These new connections are not your habitual connections but completely new connections.

Where there is love and wisdom, there is neither fear nor ignorance.~St Francis of Assisi

Theme: Forthright

The Sun, Venus, Mercury and Chiron are all in Aries, focusing attention on actions and moving forward. Aries is not a contemplative sign. Courage to face difficulties are what enables Aries movement forwards. As one of the cardinal signs it’s signature saying is that ‘actions speak louder than words’. It’s the sign of the warrior and at a higher level it represents the noble Bodhisattva Warrior who undertakes actions on behalf of all beings in spite of challenges and difficulties.

Life shrinks or expands in proportion to one’s courage.~Anais Nin

The Moon is Void of Course between 6.15am and 3.31pm. Focus on inner goals. Take time for contemplation and avoid signing major contracts.

Theme: Meaningful conversations

With Mercury and Venus close, on-to-one conversations are particularly illuminating and enlivening. Turbulent waters of the mind can be calmed with this aspect. The North Node sits between Neptune and Saturn acting as a fortuitous bridge in bringing these two very different energies together. A new way of integrating the spiritual and material is offered with this aspect.

A frog in a well cannot conceive of the ocean.~Zhuangzi

Theme: Insightful moments

The Moon is conjunct Pluto today bringing psychological insights through investigating truthfully, the basis for your feelings and responses. This aspect coupled with Sun sextile Pluto means you’re more likely to speak your mind. How this is received is another matter! The Sun is conjunct Mercury bringing news through your initiation of ideas and plans. Younger people are your allies today. The Sun is also conjunct Venus making auspicious connections through relationships. This aspect is often accompanied by a celebration.

Do not burst into anger while others do nonsense. Do not let your afflictive emotions increase. It’s important to stay with a firm mind.~HH Penor Norbu Rinpoche

The Moon is Void of Course between 11:01 and 11.25am. Avoid major projects and signing contracts.

Theme: Explore

The Moon is in Sagittarius today giving the green light to exploration and adventure. You don’t have to go far to experience an environment that expands your horizons and get you thinking about the big picture. Sagittarius is a fire sign so optimism is one of its signatures. Mercury retrograde continues to move towards Venus creating a silver lining in communications and relationships.

You do not see as the Buddha sees, with a mind that is natural, uncontrived, and relaxed. You do not know the natural state-your own Nature that is beneath the conceptualizations you force upon it.~Her Eminence Jetsunma Ahkon Lhamo
