Theme: Drawing on resources

You have more strength than you know. With Pluto in good aspect to the Sun and Mars there is a depth of reserves you can access including the qualities of fortitude and perseverance. As the Moon approaches Neptune you will benefit from quiet and restful time. Try not to figure people out as with this aspect nothing is what it appears. With the preponderances of planets in water signs feeling is not always believing – but feeling can lead you to a more compassionate place in yourself.

When we’re really in touch with the longing to help others, and when our lives are committed to that purpose, we can consider ourselves among the most fortunate people on this earth.~Pema Chodron

Theme: Holding the line

Ceres, the asteroid embodying loving-kindness, nurturing and antidoting hunger in the world, not to mention true democracy, is the umpire between Mars and the Sun today directing energy to meaningful supportive and humanitarian projects. With Saturn conjunct the Moon in the first half of the day you will feel restriction and even depression: self-discipline and the capacity to put one foot in front of the other help navigate you out of self-absorption. There is a lot of energy that is also equally uplifting today.

When we end up believing our thoughts and acting on them, then we’re creating karma and we will be stuck with it. Usually when we believe our thughts we tend to act on them. But by maintaining this nondoing awareness, all of our internal issues dating back lifetimes will vanish.~Anam Thubten Rinpoche

The Moon is Void of Course today between EST USA 5.50am until 9:29am. Avoid starting new projects, making new purchases, planning big events or signing contracts during this time. Take time for inner reflection and self-care.

Theme: Balance

With the Sun in Scorpio and Moon in Capricorn there is elemental harmony that provides stability for the next two days. Mars is still within a cats whisker of the Sun so continue to exercise caution physically and continue to be conscious of how to antidote any arising anger. Generosity towards others is also a helpful antidote to anger/ego. Mars is also trine Neptune allowing you to access a more nuanced understanding of energy flow, that when harnessed to spiritual understanding, results in more beneficial outcomes.

Buddha-nature is the luminous, ceaseless, and primordial nature of mind. It has not been fabricated or created by various causes and conditions. It has not been fabricated or created by various causes and conditions.~Shechen Rabjam Rinpoche

Theme: Believing

With the new Moon now in Sagittarius your ideals matter where they inspire optimism and hope. You can be adventurous and push the envelope about expanding your perspective. There is more ease in communicating with others and generally relating better with others. Mars is pulling away from the Sun reducing the optimum conditions for war and conflict. You still have to be aware of your physical well being. Exercise patience.

As we develop awareness, we get a better understanding of the very subtle thoughts that constantly shift the mind into nonawareness.~Khandro Rinpoche

Theme: Not boring

There are so many different energetic aspects today that it’s hard to know which aspects will be in ascendancy. You will need to be mindful today of the relationship between your strong emotions and your physical health. Slow down and avoid giving into anger. There will be disruption today with Uranus opposite the Sun and Moon. The Moon trine Neptune gives you vital space for reflection and contemplation. The new moon ushers in new beginnings so turning over a new leaf or starting a new activity is supported at this time.

The Moon is Void of Course today between EST USA 6:03pm until 9:23pm. Avoid starting new projects, making new purchases, planning big events or signing contracts during this time. Take time for inner reflection and self-care.

Continually meditate upon devotion, renunciation, love, compassion, and the supreme mind of enlightenment, bodhicitta.~ Jamyang Khytense Chokyi Lodro

Theme: Expanding ideas

With Mercury moving into Sagittarius today you can open your eyes wider to see more around you to inform your ideas and vision. It’s a big picture time. The Moon moves into Libra, and along with Venus in Libra brings a focus on equality, justice, harmony and beauty. Friendship is another strong theme with Libra. The Libran energy serves as a counterweight to the Sun conjunct Mars in Scorpio which can signal war. Libran diplomacy can slow down aggression and offer alternate pathways.

… when you take one idea, formulate something, – and become attached to it, – your universe shrinks. So let your universe become large.~Zen Master Bon Haeng

Theme: Inner warrior

With the Sun closing in on Mars, forming a conjunction, the warrior energy comes to the fore. Rather than focusing on external combat you can chose to take advantage of this aspect by fighting the ultimate inner foe- the ego – that prevents us from being who we truly are. It is a time of heightened energy so more awareness is needed around physical activity. Venus moves into Libra today providing a counterbalance to times of conflict by seeking harmony and diplomatic solutions in challenging situations.

It is not possible to control all external events; but, if I simply control my mind, what need is there to control other things.~Shantideva

Theme: Reflecting

The Moon moves into Virgo today bringing a down to earth focus and attention to details, and animal themes and gardening subjects are engaged. Venus is trine Pluto providing strength in relating to others and fortitude in dealing with difficulties. Saturn opposes the Moon today inviting self-discipline and patience in dealing with immoveable situations. Your communications can tap into other worldly-themes and spiritual contemplations.

If we have a body there will always be problems with the body. If we have a relationship there will always be problems in relationship. If you try to do anything at all in your life there will always be some difficulties. That is how things are. So we should not be surprised that it is that way.~Chime Rigdzin Rinpoche
