Theme: Full Moon

The Moon has entered Leo and is exactly full this afternoon. This can bring up small crises, but is generally energizing. It is hard to integrate our conscious and subconscious minds, our home and professional life and our thoughts and feelings today. The Moon is in playful Leo, and the Sun is in humanitarian Aquarius. The part of fortune is opposed to Uranus, especially in the middle of the day. Something surprising and good will happen then.

There are nights when the wolves are silent and only the Moon howls. ~George Carlin

Theme: Artistic and Loving

One planetary combinations that has been going on in Aquarius is the close union of Mercury and Venus. This will stimulate our interest in art and beauty. We will also be more open in expressing our feelings to others. There is also a spiritual component to this energy. And scientific discoveries are likely. This continues to be a dangerous time as Neptune has entered Aries. Saturn will also enter Aries February 15th, which should add some sane restriction to warring ideas.

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

The Moon is void of course today from 4:53 pm until 7:10 pm EST. Do not make any big decisions during this time period

Theme: Uneasy then Confident

There is some unease for much of the day as the Moon inconjuncts Pluto, Mars and the Sun. Then in the evening the Moon unites with Jupiter which gives us a feeling of confidence. We feel good and are generous. We are more open to spirituality than usual. The back drop is still difficult as Saturn unites with Neptune. Neptune has entered the sign of Aries which is a mismatch. Let’s pray that those in power don’t idealize war now.

Our prime purpose in this life is to help others and if you can’t help them, at least don’t hurt them. ~H H the Dalai Lama

Theme: Navigating peace

There is more opportunity for making agreements and finding the middle diplomatic road with others. You can experience moments of clarity and harmony. Your sense of beauty is also more finally attuned. Competitive Mars is pulling away from powerful Pluto loosening the nexus of reactivity. The Moon moves into Cancer later in the day turning the focus towards home and hearth.

To have peace you must make peace with your enemy. ~Wendell Berry

The Moon is Void of Course in Gemini from 2.56pm to 5.31 pm EST USA. Avoid signing contracts or being involved in explicit legal matters. Take time to gently explore your relationships with self and others.

Theme: Movement afoot!

The Moon is in Gemini bringing in a breeze and flow of ideas and small energizing changes to daily routine -plus anything that involves planning, talking, connecting, meeting etc. With five planets in Aquarius plus the Gemini Moon there is a lot of air element in the chart bringing a flow of ideas and changeability in some ways but also more spontaneity, fresh ideas, community movements that involve societal change and freedom of expression (it’s the air we breathe). This can be a revitalizing time.

So it is with air: there is the brightest variety which we call aether, the muddiest which we call mist and darkness, and other kinds for which we have no name..~Plato

Tuesday by Wangmo

Theme: Watch your Mind

Mars is exactly conjunct Pluto today. Be aware and focused. Avoid impulsiveness and reactivity as much as possible. It can be a day of uncovering truths. The Moon is conjunct Uranus: expect the unexpected. Now that Neptune is officially in Aries you will seek to find a balance between your needs and others in a more subtle way. Aries is about embodiment and Neptune rules the non-form/disembodied part of our natures. As one astrologer has described: Neptune in Aries is faith that wants movement, vision that demands embodiment, and desire that doesn’t wait for permission from others.~ Ang. And so the challenge of integrating this placement of Neptune is finding the self-less self. It’s almost a koan!

The Moon is Void of Course between 12:57pm and 3.55pm EST USA. Avoid signing contracts or starting big tasks. Focus on the small and the beautiful.

Theme: De-intensifying

As the Sun pulls away from the Pluto/Mars conjunction and moves closer to Mercury and Venus there is a softening of intensity in our personal lives. However, the impact of Pluto/Mars remains and we need to be mindful of the misuse of power in ourselves and others. At this time harness your impatience and frustration. The beneficial qualities of this aspect are focus and drive enabling you to achieve powerful change for good. This is best served by bringing people with you in your mission. Today Neptune moves into Aries signaling the beginning of a 14 year cycle where inner strength will be pivotal.

Power concedes nothing without a demand. It never did and it never will.~ Frederick Douglass

Theme: Stable but Rushed

The Moon is squaring the crowded energy in early Aquarius, particularly in the second half of the day. This will lead to feeling rushed, despite the fact that the Moon moves into Taurus just after mid day. Our emotions are exalted in stable Taurus, so we will have a more secure feeling. But be careful of rash actions and mistakes. Saturn is moving closer to Neptune so remember that things are not as bad as they seem.

Here now is the chance for wholesome deeds, … ~Shantideva

The Moon is void of course until 1:06 pm EST. Do not make any major decisions before then.

Theme: Power

The conglomeration of energy in early Aquarius continues today. The Sun, Mars and Pluto are tightly conjunct, which gives us a powerful opportunity to achieve what we want. We may need a physical outlet to avoid a fight response when we are challenged. This energy is a chance to look deeply into our lives and our goals. Then we can proceed to get what is best for ourselves and others. The Moon squares Jupiter especially in the mid to late day. This bolsters our mood but we should watch out for any tendency to be overbearing.

The weak can never forgive. Forgiveness is the attribute of the strong. ~Mahatma Gandhi

The Moon is void of course today from 4:37 pm until 1:06 pm EST the next day. Do not make any major decisions during this time period.

Theme: Freedom?

With the Sun, Mercury, Venus, Mars and Pluto all in early Aquarius, Aquarian ideals such as freedom, equality, and innovation are all important to us now. The problem is that Pluto is in the breakdown phase. So we may feel we are losing our ideals now.The Moon makes a sextile to the Sun and the other Aquarius planets, especially during the middle of the day. This indicates inner ease. However, there is a lot of ambition at the same time.

Only through the development of mutual respect, and in a spirit of truth, can friendship come about. ~H H the Dalai Lama
