Theme: Fuming and Disciplined

We have pent up anger because the Sun and Mars are uniting in Libra, where they both feel suppressed. Yet Saturn, the planet of discipline, harmonizes with them both for the next week. It is very useful to engage in physical activity now. Be careful with machinery, and patient with others. We can be practical, detail-oriented, and particularly successful with intellectual pursuits. Success isn’t measured by money or power or social rank. Success is measured by your discipline and inner peace. ~Mike Ditka

Theme: Comfort then Curiosity

The Moon moves from comfort seeking Taurus to mentally restless Gemini late in the day. We then become more social and chatty. Some lucky break will come our way in the middle of the day. Continue to be careful of the powerful drive to convince others of our point of view. We look especially for depth in our close relationships through the first week of October. When you find fault with others, remember: “you spot it, you got it”. It takes one to catch one. ~William Wallace Rowe Jr.

The Moon is void of course from 9:10 am until 8:35 pm. It is best to postpone big decisions until this time interval passes.

Theme: New Adventures

The Moon united with Uranus, the exciter or disruptor, indicates that we are in for some sudden changes in the middle of the day. For a couple of days, Venus, our relationship planet, is also excited or disrupted. It depends on whether we are mentally flexible or tight. We are in a powerful situation for 2 more weeks. We can think broadly, and generously. We can also search for deep answers. Try to lighten up the situation if you or anyone else gets too obsessive. Don’t worry about the world coming to an end today. It is already tomorrow in Australia. ~Charles Shulz

Theme: Arisings

It’s an exciting unpredictable time. Creativity is called for. Try to go with the flow as much as you can. With Mars moving ever closer to the Sun inner psychological temperatures are heating up. Find productive physical outlets for pent up energy. The Sun has moved into Libra and the Moon has moved into Taurus – two heavenly bodies ruled by Venus providing steadying, calming energy, diplomatic solutions, joy and creativity. We are brothers and sisters on the same planet. It makes no sense that we would be so egocentric that we would have no caring and no compassion and no understanding for what it is to live another kind of life. It makes no sense that we wouldn’t invest in that. We can’t leave this planet. There is nowhere else to go. We are going to live on this planet together. It makes sense to me that we try to do a good job of it.~Jetsunma Ahkon Norbu Lhamo

Theme: Broad-Minded but Obsessive

Besides a helpful boost from Jupiter, our thinking and communication gets a challenge from powerful Pluto. The danger is in coercing others or being coerced concerning a certain view- point. Best to use this energy for self-understanding and studying the hidden aspects of life. In the first half of the day we are apt to respond with haste and anger. Physical activity can be a needed outlet. The Moon in Aries for the next 3 days gives us much needed inspiration towards our activities. Cure for an obsession: get another one. ~Mason Cooley

Theme: Tune in

With the Moon passing over Neptune today you can adjust your antennae to the subtle undercurrents that impact your everyday life. Slowing down activities helps with this process. Physical energy continues to build, so find a productive outlet. You will be pulled in different directions today so don’t get too frustrated. Your ability to focus and see the possibilities in all things helps you through difficulties. Awareness arises first and then comes knowledge.~The Buddha

The Moon is Void of Course today between EDT 7.55 pm and 11:13 pm. Avoid starting new projects, making new purchases planning big events or signing contracts. Take time for inner reflection and self-care.

Theme: Passion and Equanimity

As Venus continues in Scorpio, the most deeply passionate sign, we are not satisfied by superficiality in relationships. But can we excuse human failings in others now? In the middle of the day the Moon in Pisces harmonizes with Venus, and we can empathize with a broader circle of people and animals than usual. We will have a fortunate surprise coming from someone close to us. And we will experience excitement about it as the day goes on. Equanimity is this even ground that we are first laying out. On the basis of this, we should then reflect on the merits of tolerance, patience, love, and compassion toward all. ~ H H the Dalai Lama

Theme: Physical activity

With the Sun approaching Mars physical activity is a good release of energy at this time. Stretch those legs! Watch out for a tendency to be competitive at the expense of others or overly combative. You have more resilience in the face of adversity than you may realize. Taking time out can re-set your focus. With Mercury continuing to be in in good aspect to Jupiter you can access much needed optimism, faith and hope. With the Moon Void of Course for most of the day planning and contemplating – but not necessarily undertaking is the key. The essence of warriorship, or the essence of human bravery, is refusing to give up on anyone or anything.~Chogyam Trungpa

The Moon is Void of Course today between EDT 5.14 am and 4.22 pm. Avoid starting new projects, making new purchases planning big events or signing contracts. Take time for inner reflection and self-care.
