Mercury is now direct in Leo. Phewwww. Communication hiccups and misunderstandings are cleared up. Communications aimed at restoring dignity, involving children and fun events are a focus. Mercury is also sextile Mars giving you the extra energy to push past obstacles. The Sun is square Chiron shedding light on one’s emotional wounds and how transformation and healing is connected to personal suffering. The Moon moves into Cancer later in the day bringing more detailed attention to family and home matters.

Theme: Touching generosity

The Moon is conjunct Ceres today reminding you of the power of giving and how giving food in particular is a powerful force for change. Ceres also rules the harvest and by association caretaking the land so that harvests remain bountiful. Both the Sun and Moon are in fire signs so outward activity and progressing goals are the focus. Venus and Jupiter are still conjunct providing you encouragement while acting as beneficial insurance against other difficult planetary energies.

Be generous! Give to those whom you love; give to those who love you; give to the fortunate; give to the unfortunate; yes — give especially to those to whom you don’t want to give.~ W. Clement Stone

Theme: Patience little grasshopper

With Mars opposite the Moon conjunct Neptune and Saturn it’s a tricky day. You are more likely to feel out of sorts so it’s a more reactive time. In the circumstances patience is a virtue and helps with your discernment. This aspect also strengthens your resolve to stay the course. The Moon is also trine Mercury so it’s a good time for group projects inspired by compassionate motivation. The overall silver lining in the day is Venus conjunct Jupiter which antidotes difficulties and provides beneficial opportunities.

Theme: Maintaining resilience

Mars continues to oppose Saturn and Neptune but has moved one degree past both planets indicating that the intensity of this aspect is slowly diminishing. However we’re not out of the woods yet. Mars in combination with Saturn can bring difficult karma forward so it really is a case of maintaining resilience in the the face of difficulties and taking the opportunity to develop new insights and strength. The role of Neptune is to encourage us to find an inner spiritual center in difficult times. You may not know what is going on but you can maintain an inner posture that replenishes as well as anchors you.

The fault is in the one who blames. Spirit sees nothing to criticize.~ Rumi

Theme: Step by step and then change!

The Moon in Capricorn reminds us that accomplishment relies on being disciplined and steadfast. Later in the day the Moon moves into Aquarius where accomplishment is through being innovative and open to ideas. Elementally Aquarius, like Leo where the Sun and Mercury are placed, are fixed signs so even though they are in their own right shining stars, they also find certain kinds of change difficult: for Leo it’s about pride and for Aquarius it’s about intellectual rigidity. Venus in Cancer, on the other hand is in a cardinal sign where action speaks volumes in relationships.

[Epicurus] says that you should rather have regard to the company with whom you eat and drink, than to what you eat and drink.~Seneca the Younger

Theme: Life is big

The Moon opposite Jupiter today puts more on your plate than usual. It’s tempting to magnify things more than they already are. The Moon’s placement in Capricorn helps ground events and is a reminder to simply put one foot in front of the other today. The Sun is midway through Leo. Enjoy the playful aspects of this placement and its connection to children and spontaneity. The North node is conjunct the Vertex today providing a silver lining to challenges and inviting you to stay the course in spite of being in an unfamiliar zone.

The special quality of Dzogchen is the view that is totally free from any ideas whatsoever. This view is called the view of fruition; it is utterly devoid of any conceptual formulations.~ Tulku Urgyen Rinpoche

Theme: Contentious Moments

The Moon is square Mars today and you can feel out of wack, out of balance or whatever you call that feeling of irritation. Be patient and watch out for your reactions and where possible turn down their volume. Exercise is a good outlet and antidote to pent up feelings. The Moon is also trine Chiron which can bring emotional healing. Being in nature and finding reflective time is anchoring today.

Green calm below, blue quietness above.~John Greenleaf Whittier

The Moon is Void of Course until 1.04pm today. Avoid signing contracts. Instead take time and space.

Theme: Openings

The Sun and Moon are trine today bringing more harmony into daily life. The Sun and Moon are also both in fire signs so there is also much outward activity and seeking to expand your perspective. The Sun in Leo asks us to tap into our inner dignity in order to stand tall. With the Sun square the asteroid Icarus be aware of our limitations and avoid flying too close to the Sun.

The stronger and more forceful the disturbing emotions are, the greater the potential for recognizing our original wakefulness.~Tulku Urgyen Rinpoche

Theme: Stepping into action

The Sun conjunct Mercury continues to bring communications of all kinds, expected and unexpected – and responding can take up a lot of your time. Venus in Cancer asks that you deal with whatever curve balls come your way with a good heart. Today the Moon is opposite Chiron, which has turned retrograde by the way. Now is the time to let go past hurts and heal relationships through building bridges. The Sun trine both Saturn and Neptune conjunct signals the power of steadfastness and sticking to the goal while building self-esteem.

Not the wind, not the flag; mind is moving.~Zen koan

The Moon is Void of Course until 1.35 pm today and after that you can engage in as much contract signing as you like!
