Theme: Transforming era

Pluto has moved into the sign of Aquarius where it will remain (notwithstanding a brief interlude in Capricorn from September 2-18) until March 8 2043. Pluto removes the old worn out modalities to allow space for new more aligned modalities. However, if there is resistance to change difficult outcomes from the build up in pressure can result. Pluto in Aquarius ushers in radical changes in society, community and technology. Those with major planets in Aquarius (think Sun, Moon, Mercury, Venus and Mars in particular) can expect a particularly transforming, albeit challenging, time. With the Moon in Cancer in strong aspect today to Chiron, Mercury and Mars you have the opportunity for insights into psychological wounds in your family lineage.

Theme: Generosity of spirit

With the Moon in Taurus conjunct Jupiter today it’s a natural opportunity to give to others and expand your circle of connection.

You are more adventurous in your relationships and seek a common goal with others to nourish those who need it most.

Do you all give? Do you all help the poor? Are they real to you? Put effort into finding them. Because I see them. I know them. I can’t help it. These people are needy. These people include refugees who came with nothing. We’ve been praying for them all this time. And now they are here. They are our people. And we will give to them.~Jetsunma Ahkon Norbu Lhamo

Theme: Leveraging available energy

Self-care is highlighted and supported by key friends at this time. The doorway of generosity towards others is open to you.

Although the nature of mind, the basis, is completely pure, one does not recognize this luminosity. Failing to recognize one’s own mind is what is known as ignorance. Out of ignorance arises the fixation to a self. ~ Third Jamgon Kongtrul Rinpoche

Theme: Thinking outside the square

The dynamic planet of communication, Mercury is working overtime to help us make beneficial connections between ideas and people. The challenge is not to be overinvested in how you think things should go but rather what opportunities can guide you. With Mercury in Capricorn you can work more effectively within systems rather than outside of them. Today, there is a nice energy of connection between your purpose and your self-nurturing.

Unless all our meritorious actions are backed by the skillful means of compassion and the wisdom of emptiness, they will merely become causes of cyclic existence resulting in cyclic existence.~Ashvagosha

It’s the last day of the dark waning moon today so you still have time to finish unfinished business.
