Theme: Ebb and Flow

The Moon is trine Venus today bringing a warmth of connection with others and an appreciation of beauty that is strengthened with the placement of the Moon in Libra. Towards the end of the day Venus tips into the sign of Cancer increasing your capacity for deepening compassion and connection with others. It also increases your capacity for generosity and receiving gifts. In the wings the Saturn/Neptune conjunction continues to be a force of nature asking us to really let go our conceptions and ‘shoulds’ in order to truly connect and be of benefit to others.

 The right path is very steep upward, whereas the wrong path is horizontal.~Mizo proverb

Theme: Libran moments

The Moon is in Libra bringing a sense of impartial diplomacy to engagement, but also bringing more time for you to connect socially, and appreciate beauty. The Moon in Libra also compliments the dignity of the Sun in Leo – with the harmonious matching of air and fire elements. The Sun is slowly pulling away from Pluto and the powerful forces this opposition gives rise to.

No matter how expensive or beautiful the vase, without the flower, it has no meaning.~Sanu Sharma

The Moon remains Void of Course until the 1.25pm on July 31st so continue to contemplate the ‘small is beautiful’ phrase and avoid signing contracts.

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.”

Theme: Ebbing tides

The Moon is in its last quarter enabling resolutions of situations. It’s passage over Chiron triggers old emotional wounds but also illuminates their source. The Sun is square the Moon creating some tensions but also providing an opportunity to find a balance between your heart and head, and find a way to stay calm in the ebb and flow of life. The Moon is in good aspect to Mercury and Venus enabling a flow of ideas and joyful moments.

Here is my secret. It is very simple: It is only with the heart that one can see rightly; what is essential is invisible to the eye.~ Antoine de Sant Exupery

Theme: Enlivening

The Moon moves into Aries with a bang as it slides over the potent conjunct of Saturn and Neptune – and whatever aspects those planets make in your own chart. Aries shakes things up and initiates change. It’s loud and noisy but gets things done. The challenge with Aries energy is how to bring others along with those that initiate change. Nurturing and a focus on home life, and ancestors continues with the Sun in Cancer.

At night I sit ecstatic at the loom weaving forgiveness into our worldly regrets.~ Andrea Gibson

Theme: Insight

As the Sun conjuncts the White Moon, a focal point that signifies the closest point to earth in the moon’s orbit, there are more insights than usual into what drives your deeply ingrained habits and tendencies. This self-examination is reinforced by Mars conjunct the south node encouraging insight into old patterns of reactivity. With the White Moon in play you are also more connected with the wisdom aspect of your mind. The Moon is conjunct the north node bringing you closer to your purpose.

The Moon is Void of Course from 1.10pm until 12.32am the next day.

Since this life has many dangers And is even more transient than a bubble blown by the wind, What a wonder that we have the chance to live on Between the inhalation and exhalation or a breath or a sleep.~ Lord Nagarajuna

Theme: Compassion

The Moon has swung into Pisces bringing a dose for the heart. Pisces, of all the signs, enables you to tap into the well-spring of Bodhicitta, universal compassion. Saturn and Neptune have begun their retrograde journeys into Pisces and won’t turn direct until November 27 and December 10 respectively. It’s a time to integrate the energies of this odd couple in which the material world is dissolved around the edges showing you the nature of reality.

In matters of the heart, nothing is true except the improbable.~ Madame de Stael

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.”

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: Full Moon

With the Full Moon the energy peaks today so try to watch and not act so much in relation to strong emotions particularly as emotions are magnified during the full moon. At the same you can also have some emotional illumination depending on where the Moon falls in your personal chart. Once the Moon begins to wane the emotional energy also wanes. The Moon is in Capricorn so the energy is one of practical engagement opposite the Sun in Cancer which shines light on our family ties and home.

Moonlight is sculpture; sunlight is painting. ~Nathaniel Hawthorne

The Moon is Void of Course from 4.36pm until Friday 1.21pm. As this is a particularly long stretch of time it’s wise to do more inner work at this time and avoid signing contracts and things of that nature.
