Theme: Trouble shooting

With the Moon in Virgo conjunct Mercury opposite Saturn you can harness your mind for problem solving especially problems involving forethought, planning and attention to detail. You connect ideas more easily and can flow around obstacles – because you certainly can’t walk through them! Take advantage of the remaining time the Sun and Mercury spend in Virgo to sift and sort. It’s a good time to establish healing routines and identifying healing remedies for your health.

Although the world is full of suffering, it is also full of the overcoming of it.~Helen Keller

Theme: Enjoyment – sort of.

Today is an easier day with good planetary aspects to the Moon – and the fresh energy of a new moon. It’s the last official day of Mercury retrograde today but it’s stationary for a few more days so it’s really the 17th when Mercury goes truly direct, and you can say goodbye for a time to one particularly pesky retrograde planet. The Sun is in trine to Uranus and Pluto for the next week. Expect some major energy shifts.

The trouble with having an open mind, of course, is that people will insist on coming along and trying to put things in it.~Terry Pratchett

Theme: Earthen tones

There are a lot of planets in earth signs right now and the Moon joins the earth club later today when it moves into Virgo. Earth gives weight and ballast that can be grounding but too much earth creates an inability to step outside ones routine. So, fixed routines are in today – but with the Moon square Uranus expect some disruption. The trick will be re-setting your day once plans change. Venus and Juno are conjunct emphasizing close, committed partnerships. The challenge with Juno is idealization of the other.

Don’t investigate the roots of things, Investigate the root of mind! Once the mind’s root has been found, You’ll know one thing, yet all is thereby freed, But if the root of mind you fail to find, You will know everything, but nothing understand.~Padmasambhava

Theme: The Dark side of the Moon

There Moon is in its Balsamic phase – the last phase of the waning moon. It’s a time for more interior reflection. On a spiritual level it’s a potent time for acquitting karmic debts to others, and contemplating impermanence, where what comes together must necessarily come apart. It’s a good time to get restorative sleep and completing unfinished business. Today you are prodded to address details, yet at the same time you are challenged by the feeling that it all feels too big.

You know, don’t you, that actually all these things around us go away, just go away…~HH Kyabje Dudjom Rinpoche

Theme: Sitting with both comfort and disquiet

The Sun makes a lovely aspect to Jupiter buoying you up and moving you up out and clear of gremlins clouds. However with the Moon square Neptune you still fear the gremlins are coming to get you! The antidote for fear is courage. It also helps to calm your mind and find sufficient rest time to replenish. Fears diminish when you’ve had enough sleep! The Moon moves into Cancer later in the day reminding us that home is where the heart is.

I have taken enough dosage of fear that I have gotten immune to fear.~Leymah Gbowee

Theme: Stay focused and relax

The Moon is in good aspect to Venus today bringing a calmness to the latter part of the day. You have more energy and insights today – and can make connections between ideas more easily. There is however, a tension in finding a balance between your daily routine, and the need for stability, and your long range goals to achieve your purpose. There is a preponderance of planets in earth and water signs which enables real practical outcomes to projects that have altruistic goals.

Expand your mindfulness and remain pervasive like the earth.~Dakpo Tashi Namgyal

Theme: Movement

The Moon moves into Gemini and trines Gemini’s ruling sign of Mercury, bringing fresh ideas and impetus to projects. If you are able to link into the aspects the Moon makes with the outer planets – Uranus, Neptune and Pluto – you can also harness larger resources for purposes that seek to improve the well being of the collective. It’s no easy mission with Saturn square the Moon, but the rewards are great if you can stay the course.

In the company of others, guard your speech; Whenever you are alone, guard your mind.~Asvaghosa

Theme: Grounding

A preponderance of planets in earth signs signifies it’s a time for actions – not procrastinating. The earth element helps ground us if we’re prepared to move forward otherwise it can feel like being stuck in the mud. There are opportunities to see the bigger picture today and have more emotional insights. Jupiter goes retrograde today until December, signaling that it’s good to take time to think and analyze your plans concerning finances, education, humanitarian efforts and travel. Jupiter retrograde still continues to benefit us – but invites us to slow down down and consider before moving ahead. It will save time later.

Seek the treasure you value most dearly: if you bow your head, let it be to a lofty mountain. Whāia te iti kahurangi ki te tūohu koe me he maunga teitei.~Maori proverb

Theme: Hauling it away

With Pluto the lead planet in Capricorn square the moons nodes plus Saturn in Pisces past negative actions materialize in your present life in significant ways: you can help antidote the ultimate causes through finding compassion in your heart for those in similar circumstances, not losing heart, and stabilizing your mind through meditation and other supports. Today there are lots of opportunities for replenishing yourself after the whirlwind activity of the full moon. Now it’s time to take stock and complete the tasks at hand.

Self-nature is like a puffball. You should pray to see it for what it is: poof! Just like that. You should pray with all your heart to realize the primordial, natural pure view – the Nature which is free of all concepts, all mind-chatter. That Nature miraculously survives beneath all the garbage we pile on top of it. ~Jetsunma Ahkon Norbu Lhamo

Theme: Dissolving and revolving

There is a nice harmony with the Sun in Virgo and the Moon in Pisces. They are opposite yet compliment one another. Both placements, if favorable, are geared towards ending suffering through compassionate activity. Today the full moon peaks. It’s the high water mark which means that there is more activity and heightened energy – and sometimes events can reach a critical level before tapering off. With Saturn in the mix there is a feeling of restriction before release. When the time is right the heart opens. A moonlight bath after sunset could do the trick.

The Moon is Void of Course today until 9.56am EDT USA. Avoid starting new projects, making new purchases, planning big events or signing contracts during this time. Take time for inner reflection and self-care.
