Theme:     Peaceful Resolve

The focus over the last week has been on transformative communications but often from opposite points of view. Mars has just moved into Libra bringing a desire for harmony in polarities through diplomatic means. On the world stage there could be an opportunity for sustained change through operating from a position of new understanding.
The potential to lay the framework for creative transformation can occur when the focus is on the greater needs of society rather than self.
On a spiritual and personal level there is a disciplined effort to transcend any rigidity and limitations, moving closer to one’s spiritual ideals. Mars/ Venus brings more creative and physical energy to actualizing our dreams and potential.

“ The human mind’s greatest potential is the ability to wake up, to free itself from ignorance and benefit beings.”
Dzigar Kongtrul

Theme:   Movement

Sun and Mercury are conjunct in Leo setting a day of creative thought and output. Travel for the day maybe on the agenda also. A road-trip with a good friend can be fun and a time to discuss future plans.
Moon in Scorpio in positive aspect to Jupiter will enhance the day with optimistic discussion on world views. Pluto the ruler of Scorpio, challenges the Moon, bringing hidden feelings to the surface making self analysis effective.

“ She wore a thousand faces
   all to hide her own.”

Theme:     Opportunities

As Moon moves into Taurus it can provide a sense of inner contentment and stability, at times to the point of not wanting to change anything. But Pluto challenges the Moon stirring profound responses.
You may experience a compulsion to maintain security at all cost, which can lead to power struggles. By letting go of any resistance to change you can open yourself to new experiences.
The Moon is also supported by Jupiter encouraging concern for the welfare of others by joining group efforts to assist those in need.

“ All conceptualization, all phenomena arise from the belief in self nature and from the compulsion, at that point, to make self appear separate from other, making a reactive relationship necessary.”
Jetsunma Ahkon Lhamo

Theme:    Thoughts and Feelings

This may not be the best day to get into debates about generalities with others, particularly about strong held beliefs on politics or world views, as you can easily slip into reactive tendencies.
On the other hand it’s a good time to get in touch with what is going on for you, either in solitude or with a close and supportive friend who can listen and give productive feedback.
Particularly with Moon trine Venus it’s a good day for gathering with friends and enjoying food together.
“ Be a rainbow in someone else’s cloud.”
Maya Angelou

The Moon is Void of Course from 3.45pm until 7.45pm EDT. Do not make major decisions during this time period

Theme:   The Great Awakener

Uranus has just moved into Gemini where it will remain for 8 years until August 2032, other than a sojourn in Taurus for one last time from November through May 2026, testing our values once more. Uranus has an 84 year cycle and was last in Gemini from 1941 – 1949, a time of war that with peace brought profound changes on the planet, restructuring global systems and bringing stability and prosperity.
Uranus is the great disrupter bringing exciting breakthroughs and also chaos and revolution. Gemini brings focus to areas of communication and education. Technology is already in the forefront of our minds with AI and we will experience sudden and accelerated changes in this area. There is a great shakeup of traditional ways of interaction but with mental flexibility we can embrace futuristic forms of communication that we may never have even dreamed of.

“ As when a flash of lightning rends the night and in its glare shows all the dark clouds had hid, likewise rarely, through the Buddha’s power virtuous thoughts rise, brief and transient in the world.”
Shantideva

Theme:    Diversity

Moon and Sun are trine today bringing inner peace and serenity. Meditation and reflection is optimal to gain personal insight into difficulties and misunderstandings in your life.
Venus moves into Gemini bringing creative energy and conversation with diverse connections. Unexpected financial losses may occur as Uranus moves out of Taurus in a couple of days and closer to Venus in Gemini.
“ Being present doesn’t mean being in a blank or thoughtless state. Being present means contentment.”
