Theme:   Confusion….. Again?!

If you were confused by events yesterday, expect more of the same today. Neptune is squaring Sun, Venus and Mercury all at the same time.
Do you feel either you or your world are upside down at the moment? Hard to find things? Your keys, your words, your mind?
Know that you are not alone and then there’s the heat dome! With 3 planets in Cancer ( a water sign) you would think there might be an abundance of water falling from the skies, but the only water you will find is in taps or the ocean.
Cancer is all about nurturing, so please take care of yourself and others. Hydrate and stay out of the sun today.

“ It’s okay to be confused. Confusion is the route to all clarity in the world.”
Shah Rukh Khan

Theme:  Half full or half empty?

Do not let yourself be carried away by subconscious feelings today. The feelings themselves maybe deluded and not stable.
The Moon still in Sagittarius strives for truth as it moves closer to the full moon.
Sun has just moved into Cancer bringing a wish to pull up the drawbridge and protectively nurture those we  are close to plus ourselves.
If we are open to the higher vibration of Neptune, it can, like the mists of Avalon, clear and show us how to love universally and less on just a personal level.

“ If love is universal, no one can be left out.”
Deepak Chopra

The Moon is Void of Course today from 6.58pm until 7.08pm EDT. Do not make any big decisions during this time period 

Theme:  A Positive Shift

Sun and Moon are in harmonious aspect to each other, reflecting inner harmony. As everything is in balance your energy flows easily without obstruction. You feel at ease with others and they with you. This also brings vitality once more, which is greatly appreciated.
Jupiter and Pluto are also working to make  positive changes in your life. This can occur through some form of success or even power coming to you, but will only be truly beneficial if you strive to improve conditions for all.

“ What they call you is one thing. What you answer to is something else.”
Lucille Clifton

Theme: Expressions of Love

Venus and Mercury are moving away from the Sun highlighting ways we express love. It’s easier to express emotions due to distinctions between the mental and emotional being removed. Expression of feelings can be synthesized through the arts, if so inclined.
The challenge today is Neptune bringing considerable confusion; communications can be misunderstood or not even delivered. It’s important not to hold back on information as that will only increase the confusion. It can even indicate a breakdown of relationships due to an unreal expectation of others.
The positive side of these transits is that if you are spiritually focused and your compassion is strongly developed you find this time helpful in deepening your devotion and commitment to caring for others.

“ No matter what path you’re following compassion is the only way to realization.”
Jetsunma Ahkon Lhamo

Theme:  Rocking the Boat

A T-square has formed with Venus, Sun, Mercury all at the apex, affecting areas of relationships, self expression and communication. The basis is Moon Neptune which brings a sense of groundlessness. Experiencing strange moods with heightened sensitivity can bring confusion due to lack of clarity. This is a mutable T square which can make it hard to concentrate and focus can be very scattered. Meditation may be useful during this time, helping tame the mind and bringing peace and stability to our day.

“ If we are not fully ourselves, truly in the present moment, we miss everything.”
Thich Nhat Hanh

Theme:    Intensity

Today there is a forceful T square with Mars at the apex between Moon and Pluto. This brings the potential for intense encounters with others. Due to feeling irritable conflicts can arise swiftly. It’s important to view any conflicts with objectivity and calmness, using the experience to penetrate the subconscious to have greater insight into how to transform one’s emotional reactions.
Be careful of injury to the eyes.

“ This sense of distance between ourselves and others, is merely a sign of our limitation.”
Gyaltrul Rinpoche

Theme:  Opportunity

This is a time where adversity may arise emotionally but you will not be thrown by it.
You will be able to deal with whatever arises and use it to develop patience and find an inner strength through techniques you may have already learnt.
If you wish to talk with someone you’re more likely to choose a spiritual  mentor or therapist than a friend. This transit of Moon trine Saturn is a positive opportunity for us all.

“ The rhythm of my heart
is the birth and death
of all that are alive.
Thich Nhat Hanh

Theme:  Obstacles?

Saturn squares Sun and Venus today inhibiting your energy. This can be experienced as feeling inhibited, withdrawn or even becoming ill. At the very least you can feel fatigued.
Feeling restricted or under pressure at work may arise also. This transit is short lived so it’s important to keep in mind your vitality and confidence will reappear, just as the sun shines again when storm clouds have dissipated.

“ Solitude replenishes, isolation diminishes.”
Henry Cloud

The Moon is Void of Course today from 8.16am until 8.41am EDT. Do not make any big decisions during this time

Theme:  Staying Calm

With Moon and Mars conjunct in Aries, unless you’re extremely disciplined it will be hard not to act impulsively or fly off the handle. Saturn is also challenging Sun and Venus raising feelings of inadequacy and separation from others. It’s best to use this time for self reflection and introspection, as being with others may amplify your aloneness.
Stay calm and willing to compromise with any disputes you may have.

“ We have established in our minds all of the clothing, the dogma, the discrimination of self as being real. These things become rigid in our minds and our minds are no longer gentle.”
Jetsunma Ahkon Lhamo

Theme:  The Choice is Ours

Today is the beginning of June and we are almost halfway through the year, with Summer Solstice on our heels. The Moon moves into Aries bringing a burst of energy and spontaneity, also the potential for aggression and impatience. Sun conjunct Venus increases self expression through creativity and loving kindness. Moon conjunct Neptune can amplify confusion or spiritual realization.
A Mars square Pluto is starting to form over the next couple of weeks focusing our concentrative power and urge to transform situations through decisive actions. In some cases with ruthless elimination. If you are an athlete or dedicated meditator you will find this time beneficial. But if this energy is used negatively it can have dire consequences and bring possible violence.

“ Speak with kindness for your words hold the power to heal or harm.”
Buddha Shakyamun
