Theme: Spark

The Sun is conjunct Uranus and the asteroid Hygeia for the next few days so expect the unexpected and a focus on improving health. Uranus rules electrical connections both in the body and in equipment. Uranus energy also breaks up old outmoded structures in order for fresh energy to enter into activities. With the Sun’s involvement in this conjunction that equation concerns your purpose and direction.

The essence is like the original sun shining: naturally radiant and unformed.~Tulku Urgyen Rinpoche

Theme: Expanding view

The Moon moves into Sagittarius today: try something new and be adventurous. The energy of Sagittarius invites not only physical adventures but adventures of the mind. The continuing conjunction of Saturn conjunct Ceres highlights the benefits of nourishing oneself and others with discipline and planning. Forethought assists in this outcome.

We can practice on an instrument that is high fidelity, we can practice on an instrument that is true and real, and the sound will be similar to the goal and will produce the goal…that instrument is your pure intention. That instrument is your effort. And how that instrument works for you is exactly in accordance with what you do and how you hold yourself as you walk down the spiritual path.~Her Eminence Jetsunma Ahkon Norbu Lhamo

The Moon is Void of Course from 2.37am to 4.35am. Avoid signing major contracts at this time or embarking on major activities. Take time out for reflection and quiet time.

Theme: Full Moon

The Moon is full in Scorpio deepening your awareness of the ebb and flow of daily life, and the psychology which propels your actions. Often full moons are accompanied by an emotional lead up that peaks then abates once the Moon wanes. Mercury is now in Taurus encouraging us to think practically and concretely. Mercury is also exactly square Pluto bringing you to focus intensely on a person or activity. Productive insights are borne of standing back from your fixed position and examining how to re-frame encounters.

Humor allows us to see that ultimately things don’t make sense. The only thing that truly makes sense is letting go of anything we continue to hold on to.~ Dzigar Kongtrul

Theme: Balancing Act

The Moon has moved into Libra today creating choices, and with that more dilemmas as you seek to find balance. It’s good to take the time to think things through. There’s also the case of dealing with amorphous, ‘difficult to pin down’ feelings about relationships while the Moon opposes Neptune/Venus. This aspect also allows you to see beauty in the world more easily.

If we do not set out on the road, we will never arrive.~Tulku Urgyen Rinpoche

The Moon is Void of Course from 12:11am until 3.06am. Take time to complete the small stuff. Avoid signing major contracts.

Theme: Connecting with the past in order to move forward

Continue to work on your communications and create space in your mind for thinking through dilemma before speaking. The Moon conjuncts the south node today inviting reflection on how past connections influence the future. The south node illustrates where we’ve been and is opposite the north node (new growth areas). Today the north node is conjunct Ceres and Saturn highlighting how discipline and generosity produce growth.

Of Course I’m Afraid. But There’s A Difference Between Fear And Losing Your Nerve.~ Cassian Andor

Theme: Drawing on your strengths

While the Sun remains in the sign of Taurus take the opportunity to examine your strengths and put them to good use. Taurus energy encourages us to be persistent and not give up. It’s the slow and steady approach that enables more lasting achievements. The Sun and Moon are in good aspect today so take advantage of this harmonious aspect to expand your view of what’s possible. The Moon is exactly sextile Vesta providing energy for creating sacred spaces in the home.

To be a kind person and to actually practice Bodhicitta and compassion, to actually give rise to fervent concern for the well-being of others, these are two different things.~HE Jetsunma Ahkon Lhamo

Theme: Practically speaking

The Moon has moved into Virgo focusing us on daily life and health matters. Virgo is ruled by Mercury which, in the case of Virgo, includes the minutiae of communication and practical attention to detail. Virgo is also a mutable sign so the next few days are also about being more aware of the changes that occur moment to moment. Mercury is conjunct Chiron which helps with analyzing psychological obstacles to our communications more generally.

A gold lodestone has the potential to yield gold when it is melted, but a piece of wood does not because it does not have the nature of gold. We have the capacity for enlightenment because our nature is the enlightened essence.~Tulku Urgyen Rinpoche

The Moon is Void of Course from 9.30am till 3.40pm EDST USA so avoid major activities like signing contracts. Consolidate what you have and take time for self-reflection.

Theme: Nousishment

The Moon moves into Cancer today bringing a focus on nourishing self and others, and finding replenishment in connections with home and family. A Cancer Moon, can also indicate finding ways to feel  ‘at home’. A focus on nutrition and food supplies continues. Venus has moved into Aries highlighting unprompted acts of kindness and focusing your attention on ways to strengthen your independence and stand on your own two feet. 

I eat dualistic conceptions and my words benefit all beings.~Padmasambhava

The Moon is Void of Course until 3.23am today EDST. Take time for reflection and interior activity. Avoid signing contracts.

Theme: Pausing

There is a steady, unimpeded flow to the day and emotionally you’re in a better place than usual. Communications flow more freely. This is despite the amorphous nature of relating and juggling your spiritual and practical life. The difficult opposition between Pluto and Mars is gradually softening as Mars pulls away: immovable obstacles become more moveable. Tap into the calm-abiding qualities of Taurus Sun for the next couple of weeks.

It’s a transformative experience to simply pause instead of immediately filling up space.~Pema Chodron

Theme: Communication

The Moon is in Gemini bringing messages and emphasizes all forms of communication. It also ushers in change – changing positions, changing messages, changing responses. It helps to be flexible. Keep working on both discipline and deepening your commitments in your relationships. Pluto still opposes Mars so pick your battles including battling with yourself. The importance and benefit of food in nurturing and sustaining others continues as a strong theme.

The most powerful social media … it is not the internet, it is not Facebook, it is food. This connects all human beings.~ Alex Atala
