Theme:     An Interesting Day

With a T square between Moon/ Mercury/ Uranus there could be a tug of war between emotions and reason. Habitual reactions surface urging us to break out and rebel against limitations. Expect the erratic and unexpected. At the same time it’s an intellectually stimulating and exciting day with brilliant ideas flowing that could be off the wall.
At the same time a pleasant transit of Sun and Jupiter can increase our good fortune over the next couple of weeks. It brings a positive frame of mind allowing potential for success of any endeavors undertaken. As we see the whole picture it’s easier to work towards actualizing our goals for the future and work harmoniously in group activities that have a beneficial effect on others.

“ In some sense every path, conventional or spiritual, is about the pursuit of happiness and liberation from suffering.”
Dzigar Kongtrul

Theme:    A Pleasant Day

With Moon opposition Venus today you should be in for a pleasant time enjoying the company of good friends over lunch or dinner. Just be attentive to overindulging in all things good in life as your final bill may be more than expected.
Mercury Uranus will have a mentally stimulating effect bringing insights and inspiration to creative communication whether that is writing or conversation.
Just be careful not to be impulsive when driving, particularly if you’ve had a couple of drinks over lunch.

“ Forever is composed of nows.”
Emily Dickinson

The Moon is Void of Course from 4.51pm until 9/6 11.54am EDT. Do not make any major decisions during this period of time.

Theme:    Seeking Truth in the Details

Health and work are the main focus while the Sun is in Virgo. Today the Moon in Sagittarius squares the Sun, which can bring minor problems to the surface that need attention.
Sagittarius seeks the truth in all matters, from the spiritual to the mundane. So pay attention to details and make course corrections when needed.
If you have a health issue seek to identify the problem and then find the right healing solution for you. Sport and exercise are favored with this transit. You may also be interested in organizing a long distance trip as different cultures and ethnicities peak your curiosity.

“ Truth is for earnest seekers, not for those of idle curiosity.”       Yogananda

Theme:       Widening the Lens

The Moon in Scorpio trine Jupiter in Cancer widens our world view and gives rise to concern for the welfare of others but with a feeling of optimism in how to be supportive.
Sun square Uranus has been prodding an urge for individual change and thirst for freedom, with the Gemini influence to Uranus stimulating creative and inspired methods of how to bring that change to fruition. Venus square Pluto rallies a desire for heartfelt change that even transforms social structures, not just on a personal level.
Mars square Jupiter urges adventurous action taking us out of lethargy and inspiring initiatives for improving the life of others.

“ According to Buddhist teaching and according to what I have seen, karma never fails to ripen. The problem lies in our lack of understanding of cause and effect.”

The Moon is Void of Course from 8.47pm until 10.04 am EDT the following day. Do not make any major decisions during this time period.

Theme:   A Musing Kind of Day

With the Sun and Moon in Virgo we will be more pragmatic in our approach to life and ready to act on projects we’ve either been putting off or have been on hold. As much as Virgo loves minutiae, there is a lovely Moon Jupiter aspect that helps expand our world view and fills us with optimism and enthusiasm.
Venus is also trine both Saturn and Neptune shining the light on love and close relationships. Neptune is a higher vibration of Venus expanding our compassion and empathy for others and also is a time to follow dreams, expressing oneself through the arts or spiritual devotion.
On the material side, financial affairs can be  quite good, although investments will be rather  conservative.

“ By observing the mind in waking life, sleep and dreams, we can learn the answers to so many questions.”

Theme:     Black Moon

A Black Moon refers to a 2nd New Moon in a calendar month. It can also refer to a season that has 4 instead of 3 moons, the term applies to the 2nd to last moon which is the case today.
The New Moon generally is a time to focus internally and contemplate the unseen. A time of meditation and reflection, setting your intentions for renewal or new beginnings. A Dark Moon amplifies this shadow time. Sun and Moon in Virgo conjunct at 0 degrees 23 minutes will focus our gaze on details that need to be dealt with in a practical manner.
For some cleaning the house maybe therapeutic. For others health may be uppermost in your mind and will help to evaluate and set targets to gain greater clarity I.e. starting a new healthy diet and exercise. Making an appointment with a specialist or doctor that you’ve been putting off. Small animals may have some significance in your day.
Spiritual ritual is indicated also with a Virgo New Moon.

“ You are going to discover concepts such as –  “I” started at the time of my birth and “I” will end at the time of my death.
The thing that makes “you” is something that is very transient. “
Jetsunma Ahkon Lhamo

The Moon is in the last degrees of Taurus and square the Sun bringing an inner tension that can challenge self expression and potentially disrupt daily routine. Because Moon is also conjunct Uranus your moods can change swiftly, surprising you and others. Feeling uncomfortable in your own skin can lead to impulsivity, making rash decisions you may later regret.
This is offset somewhat as the Moon is part of the Grand Trine with Mars/ Uranus/ Pluto for a few hours, allowing for taking initiative in a positive way and approaching life with passion. The art is to learn to be comfortable with being uncomfortable.

“ Having a sense of humor doesn’t mean laughing and being cheerful all the time. It means seeing the illusory nature of things and seeing how in this illusory life, we are always bumping into the very things we meticulously try to avoid.”

The Moon is Void of Course from 1.12am until 12.01pm EDT. Do not make any major decisions during this time period.
