Theme: “Finger of God”

The double Yod pattern, with both the Sun and Mercury makes for a fated day. Yet we have free will in our responses to the situations that arise. Can we transform our authoritarian tendencies into compassionate service? Can we clear our heads and guide others in a positive direction? Objectivity will be harder to come by for several days. Be especially open to other’s view points. You can’t let your failures define you. You have to let your failures teach you. ~ Barrack Obama

Theme: Mind connections and transforming tension

With the Moon in Gemini in good aspect to the planet of communication, Mercury, there are good opportunities to feel connected with others. Talking or writing through dilemmas brings results. Communication also helps address short sightedness. Underlying tension remains inviting you to see beyond partisan opinions and divisions, welcome difference and challenge inequality. We are afraid to care too much, for fear that the other person does not care at all.~Eleanor Roosevelt

Theme: Strength testing

While physical constitutional energy is stronger for the next few days – challenges to power structures creates tension. It’s a time of transformation if the goal is to be of benefit to others. Discipline is required today to harness this energy for good. It’s not easy to be objective: seek wise counsel if you’re unclear about something. I might repeat to myself, slowly and soothingly, a list of quotations beautiful from minds profound; if I can remember any of the damn things.~Dorothy Parker

Theme: A steadying hand

Your responses today are more balanced and less reactive. You have more energy. There is spaciousness for generosity after feeling hemmed in, and some respite from continuing challenges. With more space comes more optimism and a larger perspective. Close relationships provide important support. We would talk, and then the whole world would come into focus.~Duke Ellington talking about his long-term musical collaborator and friend Billy Strayhorn

Theme: Initial rocky landing

With the Moon in Taurus there is more emotional tranquility and equanimity. However, there are initial emotional disruptions, owing to the passage of Moon over Uranus. This transit is coupled with some testing communication as well. Don’t let push come to shove. Being right isn’t the winning formula. There are some promising relationship connections from unexpected quarters. Challenges bring insights. Our spirituality is a oneness and an interconnectedness with all that lives and breathes, even with all that does not live and breathe.~Mudrooroo

The next few days is a time of self-correction, as indicated by the apex Sun yod. The issues involved are humanitarian and spiritual. Change what you can within yourself to get through the conflicts that arise. Major changes in the outward world are possible now. Close relationships are particularly helpful today. The Buddha Himself said that we should use logic in choosing a Teacher or a path. After that, however, you begin to rely on the teacher for everything. ~ Jetsunma Ahkon Lhamo

Theme: Fired-up

There is nice fire element energy in the planetary sky today. We feel creative and inspired. The conflict is building between our conscious drive, Mars, and our subconscious will, Pluto. This can be a time of transforming the outer world, or a time of fierce conflicts. Self awareness is essential, as is patience and virtuous intention. Nothing is impossible. The word itself says “I’M POSSIBLE!” ~ Audrey Hepburn

Theme: Love and Action

After 4 months in Gemini, Venus has moved into Cancer. Love, relationships and resources are themes in a more personal and private way now. At the same time the Moon moves into Aries, and we want it done right now. This is a difficult day for self discipline, but good for social activities. The next two weeks is a high energy time, but in such a way that we find ego conflicts with others. Beware of ruthlessness during this period. Be happy to change your goals, but never change your values. ~ H H the Dalai Lama

Theme: You’re Lion

With the Sun and Mercury in Leo, the summer or winter roars on. We focus on self expression, creativity, high standards and pride. This is a peak day for prayer and meditation. Keep humble and act generously. The conflict between personal needs and responsibilities has a fortunate turn today. Love will find a way, anywhere we go. We’re home if we are there together. ~ Simba (from “The Lion King”)

Theme: Acting generously

With the Moon in Pisces there is capacity to expand one’s compassion beyond your immediate circle. The planet of communication, Mercury, has moved into the sign of Leo reducing flexibility in changing course or positions. There is an ongoing tension between one’s personal needs and commitments towards others. Today, there is the opportunity to tap into generosity including that part of you that gives, feeds and nurture others. With gentleness, overcome anger. With generosity, overcome meanness.With truth, overcome delusion.~The Dhammapada
