Theme:  Open Mind, Open Heart

With Moon square Neptune your sense of reality may be challenged, bringing feelings of the dissolution of “self “ or ego. Negatively that can be experienced as paranoia; someone is trying to “get you “.
If you are open to spiritual and psychic sensitivity you may experience a deepening compassion and empathy for others. Neptune is a higher vibration of Venus bringing a less personal love and more a humanitarian stirring due to understanding the suffering of others.

“ If we studied Bodhicitta, or the mind of compassion, every single day for the rest of our lives, we wouldn’t even scratch the surface because it is so profound.”
Jetsunma Ahkon Lhamo

Theme:  Energy on Steroids

The moon has moved into Aries giving you a big boost in energy and vitality. The Moon is also conjunct Mars, the planetary ruler which is like a double whammy. Aries fire will spark creative energy with dynamic intensity. There should be some lively interchanges with people. The main drawback being impatience and over assertiveness. There is a tendency to feel overconfident and begin boasting. But if you need to get things done, old projects completed, this is your day.

“  High energy does not necessarily mean fast, high energy has to do with the heart.”
Lou Reed

Theme:  Equanimity
Moon and Neptune conjunct in Pisces brings a heightened sensitivity to surroundings plus empathy to others. This is a time of mutual support amongst friends. Group activity will benefit everyone involved equally.
There will be little to spoil the day, except a slight possibility of confusion due to miscommunication. It’s important to really listen to others to avoid any misunderstanding.

“ It takes two to speak the truth: one to speak and another to hear.”
Henry Thoreau

Theme:  The Writers Club

Today, like the last several weeks, all planets except Pluto, are in 3 signs only: Pisces, Aries and Taurus. This in a large part has been the cause of the intensity we have experienced personally and externally. Most of the conjunctions are moving apart so we should start to notice a lessening of the intensity.
Mercury and the North Node is one of these conjunctions, which is helpful for writing and journaling. Over the last couple of weeks you may have had writer’s block, but Mercury is now direct and creative juices should be flowing. Venus is still in Taurus stimulating creativity in the Arts.
Channeling our thoughts and energies through creative mediums can be very beneficial to share with others now.

“ Creativity is seeing what others see and thinking what no-one else ever thought.”
Albert Einstein

Theme:  Gently Delving

Sun and Moon are in a gentle aspect that brings inner peace, stability and balance. The Sun moves away from Pluto’s challenge of inner transformation that has brought some insight into what needs to be transformed. Pluto is slow moving; often what is buried within our minds takes time to emerge but occasionally we get glimpses. Pluto gives us persistence and dogged determination to never give up, while the Moon moving into Capricorn aids research by providing emotional control as we peer into our subconscious.

“  Knowing yourself is the beginning of all wisdom.”  Aristotle

Theme:  To do or not to do?

The Neptune/ Mars conjunction stimulates the ability to act on dreams and ideals and bring to fruition. There is a strong urge to transcend the physical world. The Moon squaring both planets may help your drive for action but challenges may arise that sap your energy at the same time.
Venus, Mercury and Moon all align to bring social interaction and communication to the fore, making it easier to plan action for the changes you wish to make spiritually, rather than implementing them.

“  The wave does not need to die to become water. She is already water.”
Thich Nhat Hanh

Theme:  Moving Forward

The Moon moves into Sagittarius bringing optimism and enthusiasm to our view of life. The timing couldn’t be more perfect with Mercury going direct. The next few days will be joyful, not experiencing befuddled communications and technical glitches!
Today you will more at ease with your feelings than recently, better able both to express yourself and listen to others equally. Travel may be of interest to you and now is a good time to book a summer vacation. Don’t be surprised to hear from old friends or family.

“  If you don’t like the road you’re walking, start paving a new one.”  Dolly Parton

Theme:  The Grand Finale

Finally Uranus and Jupiter come to a point of conjoining. This is a time of radical breakthroughs on a personal and global level. Expect to see and experience sudden and swift changes that are overall positive. The potential is there for us all to break free from obstructive circumstances and create new beginnings. If we close down to those opportunities we may experience it as disruption and upheaval. Focus on opening our heart to our truest values and fulfilling our deepest dreams and we will discover….

“  There is nothing to fear but fear itself.”
Franklin D Roosevelt

Theme:  Continuing on

Most of us have experienced a great deal of stress with Uranus/Jupiter building up to this conjunction. Uranus works by bringing an electric restlessness to the surface, strong desire to change our lives on a deeper level, but often we resist that call. We are left peering into the abyss longing to both fly and run home to safety. Today there is a fleeting challenge between Moon and Mars that could lead to feelings of irritability or argumentative. If we resist the urge to speak or act rashly, the day will be very pleasant and enjoyable.

“When I find myself in times of trouble, mother Mary comes to me, speaking words of wisdom, let it be.” Paul McCartney

The Moon is void of course today from 8:20 pm until 11:08 pm EST. Do not make any big decisions during this period.

Theme:  Final Days

Jupiter and Uranus have been a major focus for several weeks now but are finally in the last days of their conjunction in Taurus, culminating on Sunday. They are currently exact by degree and on the 21st by minute.
This is generally considered to be very positive at the time of conjunction. Expect to see sudden changes and improvements in your life. It’s even known as the lottery winning transit! And with the influence of Taurus it can be about money and possessions but on another level it’s about values. What are our values? What is important to us? Jupiter brings a greater wish for freedom and vision of an ideal future.
The next 2 days will be dedicated to this important transit.
