Theme: Transitional spaces

Every few days the Moon goes Void-oficourse ie it’s unaspected to other planets as it moves from one sign to another. Today the Moon moves from Leo into Virgo. During this period, when the Moon leaves one sign and enters another, you can give yourself a break during the void-of-course period and be gentle with yourself. It’s not time for grand moves or achievements. Rather, in simple, low key acts, without pressure you can find a more reflective zone during the day. It does mean you might mean frustrated in not achieving your goals and checking boxes. But as the Moon moves swiftly this too shall pass.

What other body could pull an entire ocean from shore to shore? The moon is faithful to its nature and its power is never diminished. —Deng Ming-Dao

The Moon is Void of Course in Leo until 2.05pm so avoid signing contracts during this time. Find inner space to reflect.

Theme: Expanding giving

Neptune has been close by to the planet Ceres for some time – bringing opportunities for finding new ways to address the ecological crisis we are in. In small and large ways the collective will can transform the outcome. Generosity is an integral part of the meaning of the asteroid Ceres: in giving back to the earth, the earth also returns that generosity to living beings. With Venus opposite both Neptune and Ceres being open hearted is the key to dispel disillusionment.

I have come happy as a river,/singing beneath a sky of willows and poplars/to this large, beautiful sea of love./I no longer wait, I live.~Rosario Castellanos

Theme: Energy for change

Venus is trine Uranus injecting social events, and meetings with others, with energy, originality and spark. Venus is also opposite Neptune and trine Pluto. Neptune’s involvement makes it harder to see what’s going on in relationships. You may even feel disillusioned. Pluto can bring transformation through inner work and stepping back from strong reactions to engage with love and compassion in encounters with others. The Moon moves into Leo today creating a sense of play and emphasizing dignity through ones actions.

What is perfection anyway? It’s the death of creativity.~Dianne Keaton

The Moon is Void of Course in Cancer from 1.05am to 6.47am. Avoid contract signings or making important appointments at this time. Find time to go inwards and contemplate.

Theme: Changing pace

Venus moves from Virgo to Libra later today bringing a different, more social connection with others.It is a placement that also makes you wish to see the whole person rather than the part. Pluto turns direct today which has a subtle impact, increasing energy towards revealing any hidden psychological aspects of one’s mind and others. The Moon is in it’s last quarter in Cancer signalling a time for concluding projects, especially concerning one’s home.

You have to believe in yourself when no one else does. That makes you a winner right there.~Venus Williams

Theme: Moving Ahead

For the next several days the Sun squares Jupiter which bolsters almost anything that we want to accomplish. There are two requirements though: 1. That we are disciplined. 2. That we avoid excesses. People who are naturally cautious will do best now. Be compassionate not overbearing. The Moon has entered Cancer for a few days. We are more emotionally secure, and family oriented.

The ultimate source of happiness is warm-heartedness. ~ H H the Dalai Lama

Theme: Ease and Depth

Especially during the first half of the day there is a peaceful equilibrium, as our conscious and sub- conscious mind harmonize. At the same time there is depth because two planets are in Scorpio, and the outer 3 planets are all flowing together. For one more day socializing is favored while the Moon is in Gemini, and the Sun is in Libra.

We need to begin to stabilize the mind by sensing the difference between our nature and our conceptualizations– ~Jetsunma Ahkon Norbu Lhamo

Theme: Gaining Insight

Uranus and Pluto continue in perfect harmony (almost exact trine).This is a an opportunity for greater self-awareness. You can become more aware of how you relate to the world around you. With Neptune in between the before mentioned planets, we can also enhance our spiritual activities, such as prayer, meditation and compassionate action. The Moon is in Gemini for a few days which favors socializing and short trips.

In short, exert yourself in nothing but wholesome and virtuous actions of body, speech, and mind. ~The Dakini Teachings

Theme: Forceful communications

Mercury is moving ever closer to Mars in Scorpio bringing intense focused communications. Sometimes this aspect can make communications abrupt and blunt. So it’s a good opportunity to practice patience before you speak and similarly possess patience if others are abrupt with your. The Moon is graduating from Taurus into Gemini towards the end of the day so energy for outward action subsides and inward action is encouraged.

An orator without judgement is a horse without a bridle.~ Theophrastus

Theme: Stabilization and tests

The Moon is in Taurus bringing emotional stability and enabling you to consolidate routines. It is opposite Mercury so stop before you speak and take time to find the right words with compassion as your motivation. Venus is sextile Jupiter leading you to seek ways to break away from restrictions in relationships. Yet Venus is also opposite Saturn bringing a need for commitment and discipline in relationships too. With the Sun in Libra you are juggling different strands of your life. Take time to make the right decisions.

The tongue is like a sharp knife, it kills without drawing blood; words in the hands of someone skilled can do more damage than a weapon in the hands of a warrior.~ The Buddha, Sutta 1, Verse 5.

Theme: Think fearlessly

With Mercury now in Scorpio and square Pluto you can dive deeply psychologically in communicating truthfully with yourself and others. Your way of thinking is being challenged. Avoid reactivity and the desire to get back at someone or something. Instead see the transformational qualities of this placement/aspect. Silence is as powerful as truly honest words. Let go your fears and identify psychological barriers to self-honesty.

Being entirely honest with oneself is a good exercise.~ Sigmund Freud

The Moon is Void of Course in Aries between 2.23pm today and 1.12am tomorrow USA ESDT . Avoid business and/or contractual obligations including signing documents. Focus within.
