Theme:  Gone Beyond

With the Moon in Libra today there is a sense of fairness and seeing all sides point of view. It’s a very good time for any mediation or conflict resolution and can produce harmony through diplomacy.
The Moon is also aligned with Jupiter and Mars that allows for expression of feelings with openness and sincerity. An awareness of a larger picture allows us to go beyond personal demands and gives us the potential to experience generosity of spirit and optimism.

“ To practice the process of conflict resolution, we must completely abandon the goal of getting people to do what we want.”
Marshall B.

The Moon is Void of Course today from 5.45pm until 8/10 6.34pm EDT. Do not make any big decisions during this time.

Theme:  New Beginnings

Today’s Leo New Moon can ignite creativity and self expression. Starting a new project or idea will fill you with optimism and enthusiasm. Mars and Jupiter conjunct increases energy so you may be involved in physical activity of some kind like gardening or athletics. Just be careful not to pull a muscle as Jupiter can sometimes increase our exuberance!

“ Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery, one day at a time.” AA

Theme:  You Can’t Push the River

Creative energy gets a boost with the Moon moving into Leo, the day before the New Moon.
We are also just two days out before Mercury retrogrades on Monday which is a time for introspective or in-depth analysis. It’s easier to focus on detailed planning of future projects or matters rather than executing them. Because Mercury retrograde turns us inward, it can appear to bring delays, setbacks, obstacles in areas of communication and technology that forces us not to be so engaged in the outer world.
Being aware can ease frustration.

“ Two obstacles prevent us from obtaining Awakening, our veils ( of ignorance) and our negative acts.”  Kalu Rinpoche

Theme:   Energetic Creativity

A strong Sun Mars transit should give you a boost of energy to accomplish any projects you’ve had on the back burner. Mars and Saturn assist by adding patience and perseverance to complete the job.
Top that off with Mercury and Venus conjunct bringing unity with any team work, your day should be very enjoyable and filled with creative vision.

“ Creativity is contagious, pass it on.”
Albert Einstein

Theme: Transcendent Opportunity

The Moon moves into Taurus bringing much needed stability and calm for a few days. Finding contentment in stillness and nature is soothing.
Uranus trine Pluto has been affecting us for a few weeks and will continue until the end of the year. As they are both outer planets their movement is slow, allowing us to integrate their transformative energies more profoundly. This is time of heightened insight into your life bringing new perspective on a spiritual or philosophical level. An openness to learning may draw you to groups or systems to explore and give you the ability to transform your life.
“ The essence of love and compassion is understanding, the ability to recognize the physical, material and psychological suffering of others, to put ourselves “inside the skin “ of the other.”
Thich Nhat Hanh

Theme:  Be Like a Log

Mercury in Virgo square Mars in Gemini can trigger tension through critical comments either by you or to you. The potential of losing your temper is great and accentuated by Moon and Chiron conjunct in Aries.
This is like someone sticking a needle into an old wound to the point that you have little or no control over your reaction. Be very careful of verbal hostility and tension, do no harm.
Of course this may be played out on the world stage or a political level.

“ Thus, when enemies or friends are seen to act improperly, be calm and call to mind that everything arises from conditions.”
Shantideva

Theme:  Balancing the Scales

This is a time where opportunities can arise particularly professionally. If you’re offered a new job it should be very beneficial and allow you to leave behind previous limitations.
On the other hand the change can bring duty and responsibility as you leave behind a more carefree life. Either way there is a push/ pull effect in your life that is noticeable and workable.

“ The heart of a fool is in his mouth, but the mouth of a wise man is in his heart.”
Benjamin Franklin

The Moon is Void of Course today from 6.14pm until 1.23pm EDT. Do not make any big decisions during this time period.

Theme: On the Edge of New Frontiers

The Moon in Aquarius is conjunct Pluto which can bring intense emotional experiences on a mass level. The potential for change is great and even though relationships or circumstances may come to an end, the outcome can prove beneficial by deepening in maturity and commitment through challenges.
There may be some involvement with authorities or people in power, but if your motives are to benefit society and others the results will be rewarding.

“ Everyone thinks of changing the world, but no one thinks of changing himself.”
Leo Tolstoy

Theme:  Brilliance and Persistence

Mercury and Uranus can provide you with a very  mentally stimulating and creative day. Thoughts and brilliant ideas tumbling quickly like a waterfall making a great splash but dissipating on impact.
Luckily Pluto and Mars work together to anchor the energy by bringing great willpower and focus to rebuild and reform what is important to you. Energy levels are higher than usual the next few days enabling you to work hard and persistently to achieve your goals.

“ The mind possesses a certain power of knowing. This is not knowledge itself, but illumination or the ability of consciousness that renders knowledge possible.”
Kalu Rinpoche

Theme:  Ho Hum

With the Moon virtually unaspected today you may well be feeling disconnected from your immediate environment and underwhelmed by events. Having been on overwhelm the last few weeks it may feel like whiplash, or just a relief.
Mercury is active and stimulating the Mars/ Uranus conjunction that is now weakening.
Expect to hear news, messages, communications that are surprising and unexpected, but as Mars is weakening as it moves away from Uranus there is less chance of violence or accidents.

“ Mindful observation is the element which nourishes the tree of understanding, compassion and love are the most beautiful flowers.”
Thich Nhat Hanh

The Moon is Void of Course today from 3.58am until 4.14am EDT. Do not make any big decisions during this time period.
