Theme: The power of love in times of war

With the Moon conjunct Venus today and Mars approaching ever closer to Pluto you are offered different ways to respond to events – with compassion and courage or with hatred and fear. All astrological aspects offer us different ways of responding to difficulties. The Moon-Venus conjunction reminds us that we share beneficial connections with many beings while the Mars-Pluto conjunction reminds us of the never-ending cycle of suffering, especially if we lose our humanity. With the Sun approaching an exact square the pressure is ratcheting up and it’s important to find peaceful outlets for this energy so that it doesn’t rebound. Finding ways to free this energy and let it flow benignly is possible if we pay attention.

Theme: Down to earth moments

With the Moon, Venus and Mars in Capricorn practical outcomes are in order including paying attention to structural outcomes (both the structures of the body and at work). Capricorn energy also brings a dry sense of humor to activities, in spite of the serious side to this sign. The Moon trine Jupiter brings a generous, expansive spirit to the day enabling you to think beyond your own needs to the needs of others.

Theme: Mindfulness

There is a lot of underlying tension building with the Sun approaching an exact square to Uranus and Mars approaching an exact conjunction with Pluto. So it pays to be mindful of your physical activity and orientation. Play it safe. Go slower. Mercury is in exact conjunction to Pluto providing penetrating insights into your psychological habits that need to change. You can also see what old personal psychological wounds prevent you from moving forward at this time.

Although we have done nothing to harm the ego, it has caused us continual harm since beginningless time.~Shechen Rabjam Rinpoche

Theme: Depth perception

With the Moon in an interesting aspect to the planet of communication, Mercury, and the planet of transformation, Pluto, there are strong habitual tendencies that bubble to the surface today. Any negative result is more muted as a consequence of the moon being void of course for much of the day. Still, there’s always room for improvement in developing patience and insight. The Sun in Aquarius offers a dispassionate view of feelings, which also helps standing back from one’s self to see what is going on.

Renunciation is to take distance from the tendency of self-centered emotions.~Erik Pema Kunsang

Theme: Moving past challenges

With the Moon square Mars, Mercury and Venus, and opposite Chiron, you have lots of moving parts to the day, including a focus on your health. But with the helping hand of Venus you are buoyed by your connections with others. You are more observant of your speech as well, and less driven by impulse. Overall you are more in connection with your inner self. The continuing challenge is not to put too much on your plate, thereby losing the benefits of your diligent efforts.

May all beings eat the food of concentration, when opening a door.‘~HH Kyabje Dilgo Khyentse Rinpoche

Theme: Finding the right balance

The Moon has moved into Libra bringing a focus on achieving balance in your daily life. Decisions take longer because of the considerations involved but the time taken also results in better decision making. The Moon in Libra also brings more social engagement which aligns more closely with the Sun in Aquarius, also an air sign. The air element which favors communication contrasts with the practical Capricorn earth energy that influences actions, thinking and relationships right now. You can lighten up.

A method is more important than a discovery, since the right method will lead to new and even more important discoveries.~Lev Landau

Theme: Activity and building relationships

With a grand trine to the moon today the focus is on unhindered activity and working closely with others to build connections. The continuing good aspect between Jupiter and Saturn offers the promise of a work-life balance. You are more in tune with the rhythm of daily life today but be careful of not over-doing things: pace yourself.

Knowing how to keep a friend is more important than gaining a new one.~Baltasar Gracian

Theme: Illumination

The Moon forms a T-square with the Sun and Jupiter bringing insights into challenges and re-framing difficulties. Jupiter, signals expansive energy, and even when you feel overwhelmed it can provide a steadying optimism. It doesn’t mean today will go smoothly but it does mean you see the big picture more easily, which gives you more perspective on situations. The Moon in Leo also adds more brio to the day and invites you to be both brave and bold.

Theme: Concluding transformation, for now…

The Moon in Cancer goes opposite the Pluto-Sun conjunction today giving a final kick-a-long to this transformative conjunction. It’s a like a magnifying glass intensifies this energy. In moments where you feel a loss of control remember, this too shall pass and that this energy is from the past – not right now. You can be innovative around your activities today, including managing any health challenges.

A violent wind does not outlast the morning; a squall of rain does not outlast the day. Such is the course of Nature. And if Nature herself cannot sustain her efforts long, how much less can humans!~Laozi

The Moon is Void of Course today between EST USA 5.58pm until 2:37am. 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: 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.

… when mind shifts from awareness to nonawareness, limitless karmic seeds grow in that ground and come to fruition, and the cycle of suffering continues.~Khandro Rinpoche
