Theme: Intensity

There are three planets in Scorpio (Mercury, Sun and Venus) plus the Moon. There are deep pressures for change right now and getting to the bottom of situations. It’s a painful but powerful period. The benefic influence of Jupiter is still at play counteracting, or at least modifying negativity. The Saturn/Neptune conjunction reminds us of the perils of untrammeled materialism and the need for both practical and spiritual antidotes to the situation we find ourselves in on planet earth.

Free from desire, you realize the mystery. Caught in desire, you see only the manifestations.~ Lao Tzu

Theme: Progress

The Sun is trine Saturn and Neptune – and opposite Uranus – providing grist for both outward progress and inner change. You can benefit now from positive past actions, and connect with compassion and the suffering of yourself and others. The influence of Uranus means you are feeling constricted and wish to break free of limitations. With the Sun and Moon in Scorpio it’s an opportunity to face your shadow side and expose ingrained habits that need to change.

What you do makes a difference, and you have to decide what kind of difference you want to make.~Jane Goodall

Theme: Insights

The Sun and Jupiter’s trine aspect to Saturn/Neptune softens the difficulties of this aspect, opening up terrain not previously explored: in other words, the trine opens up possibilities concerning what appears immovable. Mercury retrograde means you have to double and triple check any documents. The Moon is square Jupiter today which can tip you over into excess if you’re not careful.

Knowing what you can not do is more important than knowing what you can do. In fact, that’s good taste.~ Lucille Ball

The Moon is Void of Course in Libra from 6.51am until 4.44pm which is much of the day in the USA EST. Avoid signing contracts during this period. Take time for reflection

Theme: Cycles

The Moon is in its last waning quarter focusing attention towards completions and endings. The Moon’s proximity to the south node signals emerging past-connections while the Moon in Virgo helps with completion of administrative-related tasks. Mercury, for the moment, has moved past Mars lessening the impact of this conjunctions unpredictable energy. The Sun in Scorpio continues to invite us to explore the cycle of death and rebirth.

… an open heart and uncertainty is better than gloom and safety.~ Rebecca Solnit

Theme: Incisive questions and answers

Mercury and Mars continue to hone one another during the conjunction creating pointed and transparent discussions and communications. Mars is more prone to argumentation but is somewhat neutralized by impartiality of Mercury. Venus in Scorpio reinforces the need for honesty in relationships. The Moon moves into Virgo focusing attention on details, caring for animals, environment, and health.

Speech is but broken light upon the depth Of the unspoken.~ George Eliot

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.

Wednesday by Wangmo

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.
