Theme: Enlivening

The Moon moves into Aries with a bang as it slides over the potent conjunct of Saturn and Neptune – and whatever aspects those planets make in your own chart. Aries shakes things up and initiates change. It’s loud and noisy but gets things done. The challenge with Aries energy is how to bring others along with those that initiate change. Nurturing and a focus on home life, and ancestors continues with the Sun in Cancer.

At night I sit ecstatic at the loom weaving forgiveness into our worldly regrets.~ Andrea Gibson

Theme: Insight

As the Sun conjuncts the White Moon, a focal point that signifies the closest point to earth in the moon’s orbit, there are more insights than usual into what drives your deeply ingrained habits and tendencies. This self-examination is reinforced by Mars conjunct the south node encouraging insight into old patterns of reactivity. With the White Moon in play you are also more connected with the wisdom aspect of your mind. The Moon is conjunct the north node bringing you closer to your purpose.

The Moon is Void of Course from 1.10pm until 12.32am the next day.

Since this life has many dangers And is even more transient than a bubble blown by the wind, What a wonder that we have the chance to live on Between the inhalation and exhalation or a breath or a sleep.~ Lord Nagarajuna

Theme: Compassion

The Moon has swung into Pisces bringing a dose for the heart. Pisces, of all the signs, enables you to tap into the well-spring of Bodhicitta, universal compassion. Saturn and Neptune have begun their retrograde journeys into Pisces and won’t turn direct until November 27 and December 10 respectively. It’s a time to integrate the energies of this odd couple in which the material world is dissolved around the edges showing you the nature of reality.

In matters of the heart, nothing is true except the improbable.~ Madame de Stael

Theme: Full Moon

With the Full Moon the energy peaks today so try to watch and not act so much in relation to strong emotions particularly as emotions are magnified during the full moon. At the same you can also have some emotional illumination depending on where the Moon falls in your personal chart. Once the Moon begins to wane the emotional energy also wanes. The Moon is in Capricorn so the energy is one of practical engagement opposite the Sun in Cancer which shines light on our family ties and home.

Moonlight is sculpture; sunlight is painting. ~Nathaniel Hawthorne

The Moon is Void of Course from 4.36pm until Friday 1.21pm. As this is a particularly long stretch of time it’s wise to do more inner work at this time and avoid signing contracts and things of that nature.

Theme: Protection

As the Sun approaches the White Moon, protection is afforded to those who are vulnerable. In Cancer this protective instinct doubles up even more. Family is central to the energy of Cancer. But it’s a family of connection not just biology that this sign embodies and protects. The Vertex is conjunct Saturn softening it’s karmic edges but also signifying destiny. Close to Saturn this conjunction signifies how responsibility combined with perseverance and determination bears fruit.

Conquer anger with love, evil with good, meanness with generosity, and lies with truth.~The Buddha

The Moon is Void of Course from 8.06am to 10:56am. Avoid the big stuff and instead give yourself time to find space to reflect and contemplate.

Theme: Sweeping views

The Moon is in Sagittarius providing buoyancy and a larger perspective about the emotional big picture. You’ll want to switch out your daily routine and take some fresh air or simply be outside. Venus is now in Gemini inviting short informative connections and changing decisions about the gamut of relationships. Venus is also opposite the Moon today intensifying emotional desires. The Sun in Cancer continues the theme of connecting the past with the present which is very good for cause and effect reflections.

Our home should be what is self-existing, free from concepts: primordial wakefullness.~Tulku Urgyen Rinpoche

Theme: Finding balance and equanimity

The Moon is in Libra bringing the scales of justice and decision making into more play than usual. Sometimes, with Libran energy it takes more time to make decisions because all the pros and cons need to be weighed first. Diplomacy is another aspect of Libra reflecting it’s tendency to avoid conflict. Underneath lies a desire for equanimity. With Venus approaching Uranus except surprises, in your relationships. Remain flexible and you’ll be able to better deal with the unexpected.

May I bring beings to the six perfections and bring to an end everywhere the darkness of famine, conflict, impurity, war, enmity, argument, and dispute.~ The White Lotus of Compassion, Toh 112, 4.725

Theme: Cycles

The Moon is waxing, so beginnings and starting new endeavors are themes. Enthusiasm is also waxing! The Moon trine Venus puts a smile to your dial and brings gratitude and a ‘count your blessing’ theme for the day. Mercury is opposite Pluto giving more weight to communications. You are more likely to challenge or be challenged. It’s also a time when secrets can pop out unexpectedly, in the sense of ‘the cat is out of the bag’. The Moons nodes go direct for a few days in the signs of Pisces and Virgo. It’s a period of retrospection and handling the outcomes of past decisions including debt management.

The Moon is Void of course between 4.47pm and 5.16pm ESDT USA. Avoid signing contracts at this time. Take a moment to watch your breath and reflect.

If you want to know your past life, look at your present condition. If you want to know your future life, look at your present actions.~Padmasambhava

Monday by Wangmo

Theme: Approaching the past

As the Moon transits the south node – the past is more noticeably in the present; you are reminded of past actions and current results. The Moon is in the sign of Virgo inviting attention to duties, details, health and decluttering. The Sun in Cancer invites us to nurture both ourselves and others and connect with the softer part of your nature that is more self-protected. Like the crab, Cancerian energy often involves a sidewise approach to get to the heart of the matter.

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