Theme: Movement and Reflection

The Sun and Moon are conjunct today bringing harmony into your sphere. You have more helping hands than usual. You can take heart today, especially with Jupiter nearby casting good rays of light on these planets. The Moon has moved into Cancer bringing a focus on home and family – and inviting you to tend to your own garden in order to help you tend to others. Mercury is reaching the end of Cancer so take the time to do detailed communications that draw on past knowledge.

Theme: Alignment

The Sun is slowly pulling away from Jupiter but its affects are still felt – and there is time for accomplishing your vision – or at least setting a good foot on the path to the realization of your long term goals. Saturn conjunct Neptune does mean that you can’t see all the obstacles at this time and energetically letting go can free part of your psyche up to move in a beneficial direction. The Moon is in the sign of Gemini – the sign of connection and the the trickster. So use discernment where you are able to.

Just keep swimming.~Dory in Finding Nemo

Theme: Good tidings

Ideals matter where Jupiter is concerned. The Sun conjunct Jupiter expands your view, helping you see the big picture in the midst of overwhelming details. It brings good fortune forward because it bestows a more open-hearted optimistic approach to life. In other words it’s a glass half-full approach to life that uplifts you. The Moon is conjunct Hygeia which is good for health care in an institutional setting in particular. Mercury in Cancer is conjunct the White Moon bestowing more sensitivity and depth in your communications.

The flower that blooms in adversity is the rarest and beautiful of all.~Mulan

Theme:    Always Look on the Bright Side of Life

Moon and Uranus conjunct in Taurus today could be a mood changer literally from one minute to the next. It can be a very stimulating day with surprises in the works. If you’ve felt stuck recently this transit can help you break free. Don’t bother trying to control anything and go with the flow, no matter how erratic the energy may seem.
In this case we’re only talking about a few hours in the early afternoon,  so maybe a surprise lunch date? Jupiter and Sun are still in union so even if the unexpected isn’t what you were hoping for, your positive outlook will make the most of whatever arises.
“ If you don’t like something, change it. If you can’t change it, change your attitude.”

Theme: Nurturing and emotional reactions

The Moon is conjunct Ceres and closing in on Chiron. With Ceres take opportunities to nourish yourself and others. Chiron’s proximity brings old habitual hurts to the surface. It’s a good time to explore the origins of your emotional reactions – or at least pause your mouth until you’re clear about what’s driving you. Enjoy the remaining few changeable communication days while the Sun occupies Gemini.

Theme: Dealing with limitations

The Moon is conjunct Saturn and Neptune today bringing a complication of feelings to the fore. It might be one of those days of unpacking what you actually think about things. The Moon moves from Pisces to Aries later in the day bringing a head-rush of energy after a more slower moving day. The Sun is inching its way towards Jupiter bringing a welcome dose of optimism and hope in difficult times.

Be yourself; everyone else is already taken.~Oscar Wilde

The Moon is Void of Course from 5.34pm to 7.08pm EDST USA so avoid trying to accomplish anything significant at that time. Rather, seek not-do moments of quiet contemplation and rest.

Theme: Attention to details

Mars moves into Virgo today bringing the breeze of efficiency with it. It’s a less reactive placement for Mars with more consideration before action and also more attention to details, sometimes overly so. The Moon is waning in Pisces so bringing to a close the last month’s cycle. The waning moon ushers in a phase of completion. It’s a good time to finish the unfinished. There are good aspects to the Moon today for relationships and communication in all its forms aka text, voicemail, talking and even under-appreciated handwriting.

Theme: Aftermath

With the Moon now passed the conjunction with Pluto in Aquarius it’s now time to examine the fall-out of this difficult aspect where feelings run untrammelled and reactivity causes chaos. Pluto at a higher level embodies the Great Mother, so combined with the Moon it can also be overly protective, leading to unpredictable consequences. The Moon has now moved into the more compassionate sign of Pisces which gives time for pause and reflection. It’s never too late to stop habitually reacting.

Though one might have recognized the awakened state, thoughts will still inflict harm unless one understands how to free them.~Tulku Urgyen Rinpoche

The Moon is Void of Course between 1.31pm and 2.09pm. Avoid signing contracts during this time. Instead, take an hour of reflection and contemplation.

Theme: Practicalities

The Moon is in Capricorn: long-term planning to achieve your goals is easier to do at this time, and you’re more likely to calendarize accordingly. The Moon is also opposite Mercury and trine Venus: think before you speak; coming from a place of compassion steers conversations in the best possible direction. Notwithstanding communication glitches, with the help of Venus, you are able to see the lighter side of things and experience gratitude.

The starting point, the first step through the door to Dharma practice, is the understanding that life is impermanent, that our time is running out.~ Tulku Urgyen Rinpoche

Theme: Concentration

The Sun is square Mercury providing opportunities for you to get organized and attend to details you might normally ignore or put off. Communications with others prove challenging at this time so focusing on your own back yard is a more productive area. With Saturn and Neptune still in conjunction avoid succumbing to negative voices, within and without. Instead focus on your inner spiritual resources to antidote negative forces, and contemplate how you can be of benefit to others.

Hope is being able to see the light despite all of the darkness.~Desmond Tutu
