Theme: Making time and space

Jupiter is square Venus and trine Saturn almost exactly. Jupiter square Venus creates great expectations with respect to others so be aware of that tendency in yourself. Don’t push. Give relationships time to find their equilibrium. Jupiter trine Saturn creates good conditions for both work and expansion of opportunities. The Moon is in Aries which gives extra charge and energy to achieving ones goals.

We too are made of wonders, of great and ordinary loves, of small invisible worlds, of a need to call out through the dark.~ Ada Limon

Theme: Big ideas and expansive views

Mercury, the planet of communication has moved into Sagittarius opening up your viewpoint, enabling you to see the horizon and experience a wider perspective of things. Sagittarian energy is idealistic and ideas focused. It speaks to all forms of learning and journeys of the mind. The flip side is there will be more direct/blunt speech and communications with this placement. The Moon is now in Aquarius focusing your attention on alternative ways to your desired destination.

I feel that the greatest reward for doing is the opportunity to do more.~Jonas Salk

Theme: Wisdom gained through experience

Jupiter is square Chiron the planet, or planetoid, concerned with healing emotional wounds. Jupiter can both expand and open up the wound – yet also provide healing insights and positive reflections on moving forward. The Moon also makes a T-square today with Jupiter and Chiron so use this dynamic aspect to reflect on how you would like to do things differently. The Moon is in Capricorn emphasizing pragmatism, ‘can-do’ projects and meaning what you say and saying what you mean!

…afflictive thoughts act as a great hindrance in attaining Buddha-hood. they also hinder in accomplishing the mundane activities too. So, try to dispel these thoughts as much as possible.~ HH Penor Norbu Rinpoche

Theme: Choose your focus

The Sun is square Pluto signifying the need for a wise outlet for pent up energy and frustration. These feelings are compounded by the Moon square Saturn and Neptune. Steer clear of conflict and analyze the source of your misalignment in order to get a better understanding of yourself. While the Sun remains in Scorpio it is timely to see what areas of your life need real transformation. Venus in Libra reminds us that true friendship can be very grounding in difficult times.

I generate bodhicitta – thorough, expansive, and supreme. For all beings possess the cause of buddhahood; Not a single one is unsuitable as a vessel.~ Jigme Lingpa

Theme: Deep sea diving

The Sun has moved into the sign of Scorpio adding to the three celestial bodies in Scorpio already – Mars, Mercury and the Moon. The sign of Scorpio invites us to connect with our inner power but, at the same time, be aware of that which is deeply felt and hidden within us. We are our own cipher with the potential to uncover our deep psychological patterns that impel us to react but patterns that are not easily seen or identified. Ultimately, Scorpionic energy is transformative if we are fearless enough to let go the past and slough off outmoded ways of being.

Our images/feelings/thoughts have to be conflicted before we see the need for change.~ Gloria E. Anzaldua

Theme: Soaking up information and harnessing thoughts

The Moon in Scorpio is conjunct both Mars and Mercury today triggering a flow of ideas and the desire to absorb critical information. Martian involvement brings energy and insight – and a bit of a bossy and reactionary streak if you’re not emotionally aware of your own patterns. Enjoy the last day of the Sun in Libra – the quiet diplomat and friendship maker. However, Venus remains in Libra for a while yet continuing the Libran theme of finding balance and justice, and in the case of Venus, finding these qualities in relationships.

To learn which questions are unanswerable, and not to answer them: this skill is most needful in times of stress and darkness.~Ursula Le Guin

Theme: New Moon, New Energy

The New Moon brings enthusiasm and energy to daily tasks and new commitments. The sign of Libra, where the Sun and Venus are located, is conflict averse. It’s a balancing act to decide whether or not you’re being diplomatic or avoiding conflict at any cost. Scorpio, where the Moon, Mercury and Mars are placed is better at dealing with conflict yet can hold grudges forever and a day which shows the emotional cost of not working through your own deeper emotional patterns.

As shade and sunlight interbreed, So twined are doer and their deed.~Panchatantra

The Moon is Void of Course in Libra from 8.25am to 11.42am today USA ESDT. Avoid signing contracts during this time. Go within.

Theme: Single pointedness

Mercury and Mars are almost exactly conjunct – bringing to a fine point the single pointed quality of this aspect. When the mind of Mercury is combined with the warrior of Mars there is a fearless and investigative quality to communications, enabling truth-telling including of oneself. Mars also provides staying power for in-depth research. The placement of these planets in Scorpio encourages us to let go and not hold on to our deeply-ingrained habits. We are in the dark moon period, so use this time for completions and finishings.

So softly dark, and darkly pure. Which follows the decline of day, As twilight melts beneath the moon away.~ Lord Byron

Sunday by Wangmo

Theme: Connecting with your heart

Today Venus is conjunct the Moon in Libra. Venus rules Libra further strengthening this conjunction. Today feelings are more suffused with kindness and compassion making it easier to connect with your own heart and others. With the Sun also in Libra it’s a time for diplomatic outreach, considered decision making, friendship and appreciation of design – both natural and human made. Libra is also signaled by the scales of justice and impartiality.

The world is changing: I feel it in the water, I feel it in the earth, and I smell it in the air.~JRR Tolkien

Saturday by Wangmo

Theme: Deep perception

While Mercury remains in Scorpio you can harness its capacity for deep psychological insights into one-self and raw honesty versus its shadow side of keeping secrets and being secretive and hidden in your communications. Mercury is conjunct Mars so you’re being asked to be both decisive, direct and honest in communications. Some quick responses may be required at this time. Seek co-operation rather than combat. Work on calming your mind.

We need to acknowledge our faults to be able to remedy them; this is important.~ Tulku Urgyen Rinpoche
