Theme: Building giving bridges

The Moon is close-by the asteroid Ceres today shining a light on how we nourish ourselves and care for others. With the Moon in Capricorn the focus is on practical outcomes. Capricorn Moon and Pisces Sun invite us to draw on our respective spirituality or spiritual tradition to operate in the world. With Jupiter continuing to be at right angles to Venus and Mars the pressure on relationships increases as there are many things to accomplish right now.

Before eating, we can look at dishes on the table and breathe in and out to see if this food and drink is good for us and whether eating it will harm or help develop our compassion.~Thich Nhat Hahn

Theme: Possibilities

The Sun is moving away from Saturn. That’s a relief. And Mercury is pulling away from the Sun making communications a tad clearer. While there are challenges today with the Moon squaring the Sun, making the life-work balance difficult, there is a harmonious connection between the Moon and the Venus/Mars conjunction. So overall the news it good but still there are tests along the way.

It is our consciousness that designs our world.~Thich Nhat Hanh

Theme: Moving on

You are still dealing with structures and strictures. However, with both the Sun and Moon in water signs you also dealing with feelings, especially with the Moon in Scorpio which intensifies emotions. You can take the opportunity to investigate what unconsciously motivates and propels you. It’s also an opportunity to slough off old outmoded habits. Look for ways you can benefit from the healing element of water. When the Moon goes opposite Uranus expect some disruption.

I see the work as a whole first. Then I compose the details. In working out, I always lose something. This cannot be avoided. There is always some loss when we materialize. But there is compensating gain in vitality.~Arnold Schoenberg

Theme: Harnessing your thoughts

With Mercury and Saturn cheek-to-jowl it’s a great opportunity for disciplining your thoughts and ideas – and realizing your projects. In other words thoughtfulness and planning ensure concrete outcomes. Having limitations and boundaries also enables innovative thinking. The Moon trines the Sun today providing a harmonious connection between your purpose and daily life activities. With the Moon Void of Course most of the day it’s a good day to deal with the minutiae rather than bigger plans.

… you can practice compassion in a way as to demonstrate it to others.  If they copy you, it is a merit to your mind as well.~Jetsunma Ahkon Norbu Lhamo

Theme: Creating space

With Mercury shining a magnifying glass on your purpose and Saturn determining the constraints you are facing, now is the time to make sustainable adjustments. Past friendships are helpful today. You can find more space in drawing on the strength of your connections with others and by taking a bigger perspective on life, relationships and the universe. With the Sun in Pisces you have the opportunity to open your heart to the suffering of others, and find meaningful ways to alleviate that suffering.

Theme: Thinking through situations

With Mercury, the planet of communication conjunct the Sun and Saturn, thinking through situations can produce beneficial results. Your inner resources are illuminated. You may feel swamped with tasks but you also, equally, have tools at your disposal. The Moon has moved into Libra providing a support bridge for diplomatic solutions intractible conflicts. The Venus/Mars trine to the Moon also boosts your chances of finding alternative pathways to resolve differences.

Theme: Steady accomplishment

As the Sun approaches Saturn it’s not all doom and gloom. Effort produces result and even the accomplishment of the smallest of tasks can feel rewarding. It’s a good time to draw on your experience and work creatively within limitations rather than kicking against them. You’ll only hurt your toes if you do. The Moon in Leo invites you to play and be creative and Jupiter sextile the Sun promotes expansion and growth. Finding an inner balance is possible at this time.

If you understand comedy, you understand life. Drama, death, tragedy – everybody has these. But with humour you’ve got all these, and the antidote.~Eric Sykes

Theme: Softening the edges

The Sun has moved into the water sign of Pisces ushering in a month long cycle that embraces the themes of compassion, spirituality – and illusion and escapism. Self-honesty is the guiding light to steer you away from the more challenging aspect of Pisces, which includes addictions. The conjunction of the Sun and Saturn in Pisces over the next week is particularly difficult as the sign of Pisces focuses us on feelings rather than raw materialism that can be the reality of daily life. Mars conjunct Venus offers a balance in dealing with extremes by inviting us to marry our inner and outer worlds.

Coming and going by the dance, I see that what I am not is a part of me. Dancing is all that I can ever trust, The dance is all I am, the rest is dust. I will believe my bones and live by what will go on dancing when my bones are not.~Epitaph

Theme: Focus and Generosity

The Sun is in good aspect to the Moon – and the Moon and Sun are in good aspect to Jupiter enabling us to open our hearts and minds. At the same time the Sun is approaching a conjunction with Saturn which necessitates being realistic about what one can achieve and working within limitations, financial or otherwise. The Moon in Cancer means we are more in touch with our feelings but can also mean we are overly sensitive.

You may study a lot and become a great scholar, but if you can’t subdue your own mind, what’s the point?~HH Penor Norbu Rinpoche

Theme: Caught in the middle

The planet governing relationships is sandwiched between Pluto and Mars. You may feel pressured to do things you wouldn’t ordinarily do. If you can engage in diplomacy everyone will be better served. The Sun is approaching Saturn which increases the focus on structures and their limitations. The Moon in Cancer offers respite in the home and generates a more nurturing spirit.

To practice devotion, discipline and generosity, To free the mind through hearing the Dharma, and to have dignity, self-control And discriminating awareness-make these seven noble human qualities.~Jigme Lingpa
