Theme: Tidy then Confused

As the Moon moves through Virgo today it is an excellent time for cleaning and organizing. Then late in the day the Moon opposes Neptune and we have strange moods. Beware of misunderstandings with others. Remember that we are in a no retrograde phase until April 1st, the next Mercury retrograde. So things should generally move forward rapidly now. The stellia in Aquarius, and Pisces enhance humanitarian and spiritual pursuits.

If you want to make an easy job seem mighty hard, just keep putting off doing it. ~ Olin Miller

Theme: Subjectivity

It is the time in the 4 month cycle between Mercury retrogrades when the Sun and Mercury are tightly united. For the next week we have more trouble being objective. We can focus intently and be successful if we can be open to other points of view. We are on the cusp of being both restricted by Saturn and expanded by Jupiter. The balance of both forces should be helpful for the next week.

I think I am, therefore, I am… I think. ~George Carlin

Theme: Fanciful of Spiritual?

Mercury has joined the Sun and Saturn in Pisces for 2 and 1/2 weeks. Our thinking becomes more imaginative. We have more potential for wisdom and compassion now. But can we keep grounded in reality at the same time? Venus is united with Mars until the end of the month indicating strong energy for partnership. We can overdo it now as the two planets square Jupiter. And the Moon moves from playful Leo to organizing Virgo in the evening.

The antidote is the realization of compassion, which should be the core of one’s life. ~Jetsunma Akhon Norbu Lhamo

Theme: Daydreams or Reality?

The Moon is square Neptune for much of the day and we can be lost in harmless fantasy or harmful delusions. At best we can use this energy creatively. Be careful of using drugs or alcohol today though. Relationships continue to be intense. Can we be a supportive friend or are we going to have a control struggle today? We are still looking for freedom and should watch out for unexpected events.

I was trying to daydream, but my mind kept wandering. ~Steven Wright

The Moon is void of course today from 10:22 pm until 10:26 pm EST. Do not make any big decisions during this time period.

Theme: Freedom Part 2

The strong Aquarian energy continues for 2 more days, but without the emotional well-being. The pace of the day is faster as the Moon is in Gemini. Our minds are very fast due to the Mercury-Uranus square. We can get a lot done but must watch out for being sloppy. If work that requires much concentration can be postponed for a couple of days, this would be good. Remember to be patient and kind to others.

Life without liberty is like a body without spirit. ~Kahlil Gibran

Theme: Freedom

We now have 4 planets and the Sun in Aquarius, the sign that wants freedom and originality, and wants to promote humanitarian causes. Mars and Pluto are still united indicating strong, if not ruthless ambition. Be careful out there! With Mercury square Uranus we are restless. This can be an upsetting day if we cannot maintain flexibility in our expectations. Fortunately, there are indications of emotional well-being throughout the day.

Liberty, when it begins to take root, is a plant of rapid growth. ~George Washington

The Moon is void of course today from 10:02 am until 2:41 pm EST. Do not make any major decisions during this time period.

Theme: Ambition

Our conscious ambition, Mars, and our subconscious ambition, Pluto, are uniting even closer. Can we channel this strong energy in positive ways? Can we be calm and patient, and hope and pray that we influence others this way? It is a potent time for prayer and meditation. We are more aware of our non-dual nature as the Moon moves through Pisces. We are generally optimistic today, but should be careful not to overlook details or to be overbearing.

When we say that all things are essentially empty, what we mean is that all things are empty of self-nature. All things are empty of conceptualization. ~Jetsunma Ahkon Norbu Lhamo

Theme: Sensitive and Reserved

The Moon, still in its new phase, has entered sensitive, spiritual Pisces, but our emotions are restricted by Saturn in the second half of the day. Mars is conjunct Pluto for several days now. This is a strong stimulant for ambition. Disruption and violence are real possibilities because limitations are not accepted at this time. The best use of this energy is some kind of physical or mental work that is very demanding.

All beings down to the tiniest insects have Buddha nature, the enlightened essence. The only difference is that their qualities have not matured. Therefore, you should respect all beings. ~H H Drubwang Penor Rinpoche

The Moon is void of course today until 8:44 am EST. Do not make any major decisions during this time period.

Theme: Rebellious

With 4 celestial energies in Aquarius, and the Sun and Moon square Uranus this is a free spirit time. We may be contrary just for the sake of being contrary today. There is potential for major disruptions for a few more days. With the new Moon happening in the second half of the day, we have more concentrated energy towards our endeavors. A good day to start a new project, but be mentally flexible because surprises abound.

Rebellion against tyrants is obedience to God. ~Benjamin Franklin

The Moon is void of course today from 6:00 pm until 8:44 am the next day EST. Do not make any big decisions during this time period.

Theme: Powerful Communication

Mercury is almost on top of Pluto today bringing powerful energy to our communication and thought. Take advantage of this energy for investigations, but be gentle when talking with others. The Jupiter Saturn sextile continues to benefit us as we approach our lives in a realistic way. We can grow and learn without struggling with limitations as much as usual. The Sun is square Uranus for several days indicating disruptions. Can we be proactive about what needs to change, or will we be shocked by outside events?

… the cultivation of compassion in the heart and mind is an ongoing process. ~Jetsunma Ahkon Norbu Lhamo

The Moon is void of course today until 1:29 am EST. Do not make any major decisions during this time period.
