Theme: Full Moon and Full Heart

The exact full Moon happens early in the day. We will be energized, but will have to contend with conflicts between home and professional life, conscious and unconscious desires, and our minds and our feelings. Later in the day the Moon is conjunct Jupiter which puts us in a generous state of mind. This also supports spiritual interest and insights at an experiential level. Public speaking should go well today.

If we really knew the truth of suffering, there would not be one moment that we did not practice with the utmost compassion. ~Jetsunma Ahkon Norbu Lhamo

Theme: Ambition and Security

There is a lot of ambition in the air, as Mercury joins the stellium of Sun, Venus and Mars in the sign of Capricorn for the next 2 1/2 weeks. What do we want to start building this new year? We should be mindful of the extra physical energy that we have for the next couple of weeks. Don’t let your temper flare up because you have been too sedentary. The Moon enters Cancer in the morning, and remains for the next few days. We are drawn towards family and security.

To seek solitude like a wild animal. That is my only ambition. ~H H the Dalai Lama

The Moon is void of course today from 7:25 am until 8:10 am EST. Do not make any major decisions during this time period.

Theme: Do You Know What Gets My Goat?

Today there is a close stellium in Capricorn and those born with that sign sometimes feel that they deserve better than they get. In this case it is strong, ambitious energy that rules the day. The Sun, Venus and Mars are involved. Venus is the gentlest of the group, but is not so happy in Capricorn. Mercury is still in Sagittarius so we are better with the big picture than with details. And the Moon continues in Aries. Look before you leap.

Love is not love, without a violin playing goat. ~Julia Roberts

The Moon is void of course from 9:14 pm until 6:58 am EST the next day. Do not make any big decisions during this time period.

Theme: More Energy

The Sun moves into Capricorn today, so happy birthday to all young and old goats! The Sun is also starting to unite with Mars for several days, so we will have more energy and a fighting spirit. It is good to find healthy outlets for the physical energy. Sitting all day will lead to irritability. This is an excellent time to start new projects, but be careful with driving and operating machinery.

The fitter you are, the more energy you have. ~Murray Mexted

Theme: Irritable and Impulsive

The Moon and Mars are united for the first 2/3 of the day which means we can fly off the handle about something trivial. Take a deep breath, be patient and be kind. To make matters worse we are more likely to be confused because Neptune is at a right angle to the Sun. And our energy is still low but bolstered a bit by Mars in Capricorn. This is the last full day with the Sun in Sagittarius, so continue to focus on religion, philosophy and far off lands.

Patience includes 3 aspects: patience when wronged, patience to bear hardship for the Dharma, and patience to face the profound truth without fear. ~Patrul Rinpoche

Theme: Low Energy Days

With the Sun square Neptune for a few days, we will have less energy than usual. This can be psychological discouragement as well. We should not expect to have the courage for bold action now. Deception is likely in relationships. The best strategy is to be realistic about any idealistic thinking that comes into our minds. Approach prayer, meditation and compassionate action this way.

To me, compassion is not a feeling at all. It is not an emotion. It is logical. It is meaningful. ~Jetsunma Ahkon Lhamo

Theme: Difficult and Unlucky

Our new astrological aspect for the next several days is the Sun square Saturn. This is traditionally difficult and seems unlucky. The central struggle is between self-gratification and our responsibilities towards others. Talking with others is better than making assumptions right now. It may not have to be so difficult after all. In the evening the Moon forms a yod with Uranus and Neptune. This is a potent time for prayer and meditation.

Oh.. If we could only taste the soundless voice that sings its silent name in colors ~Jetsunma Ahkon Norbu Lhamo

Theme: Balance, Harmony and Relationships

The Moon has entered Libra for a few days. We are looking for balance, harmony and beauty. In the second half of the day the Moon sextiles Venus, which bolsters our social life. The two things to watch out for is excessive passivity and over indulgence. Jupiter is retrograde but continues to harmonize with Saturn for two more weeks. This supports our long range goals, and favors business endeavors.

If humanity is to survive, happiness and inner balance are crucial. ~H H the Dalai Lama

Theme: Religion, Philosophy, Long Distance Travel and Spirituality

The Sun, Mercury, Venus and Mars are all in Sagittarius today ( along with the Part of Fortune and Juno). This gives us an upbeat energy and a focus on religion, philosophy and long distance travel. We are interested in the big picture. At the same time Mercury trines Neptune and the Moon opposes Neptune, especially in the middle of the day. This is a spiritual opportunity: so practice prayer, meditation and compassionate action while the iron is hot.

I dedicate myself to the liberation and salvation of all sentient beings. ~Jetsunma Akhon Norbu Lhamo

The Moon is void of course from 9:52 am until 11:05 am EST. Do not make any major decisions during this time period.

Theme: “I Believe in Yesterday”

The two main astrology patterns that were written about yesterday hold true today and tomorrow. An ease of thinking and communication, except when asserting ourselves, if not done carefully. The Moon is in Cancer for a few days which gives us an emotional security, but others might be less pliable than usual. It is best to care for others as opportunities arise. And be ready to make adjustments in our plans.

It is very important to generate bodhicitta over and over again with unbearable love towards all sentient beings,… ~Kyabje Penor Rinpoche
