Theme: Revisiting the past

The Sun is conjunct the south node and Mercury bringing both welcome news and reflections on how the past can hold us back from moving in new directions. Mars is conjunct Lilith and opposite Chiron brings an acute sense of feeling hurt, through others actions. It doesn’t seem fair and yet learning how to transform suffering and personal pain is the path to compassion. Chiron is after all named after the myth of the wounded healer.

Naming is the origin of all particular things. Free from desire, you realize the mystery. Caught in desire, you see only the manifestations.~Laozi

Theme: Dealing with the past

The Moon is conjunct Chiron today reminding us all of the continuing journey everyone undertakes to heal their past in order to be whole and present. Because the Moon is in Aries there is more energy to go headfirst into endeavors today: it’s a kind of all or nothing energy. However, because the Sun remains in Virgo a more reasoned approach will get you through the other side of any tempest.

Theme: Post-eclipse

Following the intense energetic and sometimes unpredictable events in the lead-up to the eclipse – notwithstanding the eclipse itself – there is a subsiding of energy providing more time for experiencing a more spacious perspective. The Moon moves into Aries later in the day but to do that it conjuncts Saturn and Neptune on the way through providing a feeling of being hemmed in – but not knowing what exactly are the ultimate causes. However, it’s an equality great time to dig deeper into your inner resources.

Theme:     An Interesting Day

With a T square between Moon/ Mercury/ Uranus there could be a tug of war between emotions and reason. Habitual reactions surface urging us to break out and rebel against limitations. Expect the erratic and unexpected. At the same time it’s an intellectually stimulating and exciting day with brilliant ideas flowing that could be off the wall.

It brings a positive frame of mind allowing potential for success of any endeavors undertaken. As we see the whole picture it’s easier to work towards actualizing our goals for the future and work harmoniously in group activities that have a beneficial effect on others.

Theme: Dignity and Details

Venus is in Leo reminding you of the power of dignity in oneself and others in transforming selfishness. The Sun and Mercury in Virgo focus laser light energy on the minutiae. This means you are less likely to get tripped up by details, and in fact attention to details can be your ally. That’s unless you’re being too much of a fuss pot. There’s always a fine line.
