Theme: Destroying and Reforming

With Mars, the warrior, and Saturn, the restrictor, in Aquarius, we want progressive, new action. Today, we are emotionally in tune with our ambition to achieve at all cost. Structural destruction is at a peak. Can we create a better world? Play and creativity are good outlets. Cleaning house is favored later in the day. In a time of destruction, create something. ~ Maxine Hong Kingston

Theme: Compassion in Thought and Speech

For a few days, serve or suffer is an apt mantra. Beware of ungrounded fantasies, and avoid deception in communication. Although a restrictive indication continues for two more days, emotion and purpose harmonize now. Look for work projects to mitigate any frustration. Play and socializing are nice outlets, as well. Be kind, for everyone you meet is fighting a harder battle. ~ Plato

Theme: Avoid blowing a gasket

Emotionally, there is a risk that feelings are overblown or larger than events merit today. Put the brakes on before shifting into the ‘overwhelmed’ gear. To compound matters you may feel cut off or isolated from others. With the Moon moving into Leo pride is triggered – but so is a sense of play. See how you can lighten your load by connecting with supportive friends and humor. ~In an ally it is benevolence that matters; In speech it is good faith that matters; In government it is order that matters. Lao Tzu

Today the Moon is Void of Course from 12.49 pm EST USA until 2.26 pm. If you’re in another country check what that means for you time-wise. It’s best to avoid making major decisions or signing contracts during this time.

Theme: Enforced Isolation and dreams

The next few days are a difficult time as the forces of negative habits combine with outward restrictions. It’s a challenge to not act – but in such circumstances holding the line may mean relaxing within the constraints, rather like Houdini did when escaping from tight knots. There is supportive emotional energy that brings insightful communication and intuition to the fore. Dreams can be helpful in illuminating hidden information. What the eyes see and the ear hears, the mind believes.~ Harry Houdini

Theme: Fearlessness

It’s a time to be courageous and fearless. There is strength in holding the line and standing your ground. There will be fortunate connections with people who provide nurturing and nourishment for you today. The mind is not at it’s sharpest, but intuition is strong. Peacemaking plays a vital role in dealing with an inability to compromise. Speech synchronizes mind and body.~Chogyam Trungpa Rinpoche

Theme: Confusion and Frustration

This is not an easy day. We can be lost in delusion and fantasy. There is fortunate potential in study prayer and meditation, though. For another several days, we feel thwarted and frustrated. Anger can be mitigated through delving into hard work. If emotionally calm, we can sucessfully take on tasks that require extra concentration and discipline. Concentration comes out of a combination of confidence and hunger. ~ Arnold Palmer

Theme: Broad-Minded and Transformational Creativity

Our little astroid friend, Palas Athene, is in the same part of the celestial sky as broad-minded Jupiter, and transformational Pluto. This indicates a mental creativity boost. There is hope for new solutions to the coronavirus. The restrictive and stablilizing planet, Saturn, will now spend 2 1/2 years in Aquarius. This will effect how we approach progressive ideas. Today, we want action, and are curious and restless. Imagination is everything. It is the preview of life’s coming attractions. ~ Albert Einstein

Theme: Long-Term View

The outer planets have long cycles, such as Neptune taking 14 years in a sign. With 5 more years in its home sign, pisces, Neptune indicates strong potential for compassion, fantasy, and deception. Uranus, with its disruptive nature, is in taurus. It will destabilize money and possessions, and give the potential to reinvent one’s values for 6 more years. Today has a pleasant feel. Share warmth and friendship as circumstances permit. Now is the time for compassion. Why now? Because compassion is vital. It is a mistake to think of it as a noble ideal, a beautiful sentiment. ~ H H the Dalia Lama

Today the moon is void of course from 7:05 pm EDT USA until 9:38 pm . If you are in another country check what that means for you time-wise. It’s best to avoid making major decisions or sign contracts during this time.

Theme: Beneficial ties

With Venus in good aspect to challenging planetary energies there is a silver lining to even the most difficult of times. Beneficial relationships give a firm helping hand, and fortunate events illuminate the darkness. Venus allows us to recognize the beauty in all things, even when dealing with inescapable truths. The natural condition of uncontrived awareness is that of relaxation without restriction; I experience the blessing of natural freedom: regardless of what arises, it has no fixed reference.~HH Dudjom Rinpoche

Theme: World Wide Issues

What do the planets tell us about the Coronavirus? Pluto, the destroyer, is moving through Capricorn, the sign of outer and inner structures, which include our bodies. Jupiter, the planet of expansion, united with Pluto March 12th, passes over it April 5th, and doesn’t fully separate until August. Perhaps this will correlate with the spread of the virus. Let’s all keep as safe as possible, and see what good will come in this time of adversity. Happiness and suffering are dependent upon your mind, upon your interpretation. They do not come from outside, from others. ~ Lama Zopa Rinpoche

Today the moon is void of course from 3:16 am EDT USA until 9:37 am . If you are in another country check what that means for you time-wise. It’s best to avoid making major decisions or sign contracts during this time.
