Theme: Family

The Moon in Cancer enables us to find the things that nurture us whether it’s family, friends and/or nurturing spaces and places. Food is an important component of this. The Moon is conjunct a point, named the White Moon, where the Moon is closest to the earth. It illuminates us today in ways that show us how to better self-care and fulfill our potential. Venus is conjunct Chiron showing us where our emotional wounds limit our potential in relationships.

Our wounds are often the openings into the best and most beautiful part of us.~David Richo

Theme: Mercurial moments

With Mercury and the Sun, and the Moon all close to one another in Gemini it’s a ‘moment to moment’ kind of thing: short-excursions, writing and sending messages are all part of the equation. Gemini is a mutable sign which means shifting and changing and identifying flexible avenues to reach your destination. It’s a good day to tread with a lighter step. Saturn and Neptune remain conjunct in Aries which poses structural challenges to whatever personal planets lie in it’s path – particularly planets in early degrees in the cardinal signs of Aries, Libra, Cancer and Capricorn.

The real meaning of luminosity is a lucid knowing. It is awareness free from darkness.~ Tulku Urgyen Rinpoche

Theme: News and changing schedules

With the Moon and Sun conjunct Mercury today expect changing schedules and news from near and far. It’s a good time for communication and thinking through activity. The new Moon brings new energy, enthusiasm and ideas to change things up. Saturn in Aries invites discipline in areas where you are normally impulsive and unbridled. It helps you achieve your goals with sheer hard work! There are no short-cuts wherever Saturn is – but effort does bring reward.

Time is an illusion. Lunchtime doubly so!~Douglas Adams, The Hitchhiker;s Guide to the Galaxy.

The Moon is Void of Course between 9.52am and 1.21pm. Avoid major decisions including signing contract signing. Spend time attending to the ‘small is beautiful’ part of your life.

Theme: Communication in all forms

The Sun has moved into Gemini bringing a focus on all things concerning communication along with changeable schedules and personal positions. Expect messages and missives this month with more meaning than usual. The Moon conjunct the north node and Saturn points towards helpful meetings with those that can provide you practical steps about how to move forward in a new way. The Sun is trine Pluto, enables you to tap more deeply into your energy reserves.

Creativity and ego cannot go together. If you free yourself from the comparing and jealous mind, your creativity opens up endlessly. You must not be your own obstacle.~Jeon Kwan, Korean Buddhist Nun

Theme: Connecting with the heart

The Moon moves into the water sign of Pisces today bringing a softening and more open-hearted approach to life that compliments the Sun and Mercury in the earth sign of Taurus. The Sun is pulling away from Uranus making for less instability. Mars trine Venus enables you to connect with your inner yin and yang, making you feel more whole.

Hope is like the sun. If you only believe it when you see it you’ll never make it through the night.~Princess Leia, Star Wars

Theme: Increasing pressure

With Uranus one degree away from the Sun the next two days in particular can be more of a testing time in dealing with increased pressure and sudden external changes. You can can use this time internally to see where you seek more freedom in areas that may not be free flowing or spontaneous: current frustrations can help you identify key areas. The Moon in Aquarius provides space for innovation and experimentation with your daily schedule.

Freedom lies in being bold.~Robert Frost

Theme:  A Brief Moment in Time

The post from yesterday is still operative but today there is more intensity added as the Moon moves into Aquarius and conjuncts Pluto. The Aquarian Moon magnifies the significance of Uranus/Sun, bringing unpredictable reactions with the potential for detached objectivity. Some may appear aloof and lack sensitivity to others. Others may embrace humanitarian objectives.
Moon conjunct Pluto can bring intense feelings to the surface that can be overwhelming and threaten your sense of perspective. Relations with women will be of importance.

Taking care of children has nothing to do with politics. I think perhaps with time, instead of there being a politicization of humanitarian aid, there will be a humanization of politics.~Audrey Hepburn

The Moon is Void of Course from 12.27am until 1.29am EDT. Do not make any major decisions during this time period.

Theme:   Beneficial Change

Uranus’ influence can be disruptive as we have recently seen, but it can also bring great inspiration, new ideas, innovation and much needed exciting changes to our life. Today and for the next 2 days Uranus and Sun are exactly conjunct in Taurus at 27 degrees. The next couple of days could be very positive as both planets are in beneficial aspects to Neptune, Saturn, Pluto and the Moon. In fact if you have been aware of and working towards change in your life this could be a time of fruition.
Even though it impacts us individually due to the Sun’s influence, Uranus can bring in group and universal involvement.

What makes mind and the phenomenal world so interesting is that neither one of them is fixed. Because they are interdependent  – and therefore empty  –  both mind and the world are flexible and the creative possibilities are great.~Dzigar Kongtrul
