Theme:   Movement

Sun and Mercury are conjunct in Leo setting a day of creative thought and output. Travel for the day maybe on the agenda also. A road-trip with a good friend can be fun and a time to discuss future plans.
Moon in Scorpio in positive aspect to Jupiter will enhance the day with optimistic discussion on world views. Pluto the ruler of Scorpio, challenges the Moon, bringing hidden feelings to the surface making self analysis effective.

Theme: Stepping into action

The Sun conjunct Mercury continues to bring communications of all kinds, expected and unexpected – and responding can take up a lot of your time. Venus in Cancer asks that you deal with whatever curve balls come your way with a good heart. Today the Moon is opposite Chiron, which has turned retrograde by the way. Now is the time to let go past hurts and heal relationships through building bridges. The Sun trine both Saturn and Neptune conjunct signals the power of steadfastness and sticking to the goal while building self-esteem.

Not the wind, not the flag; mind is moving.~Zen koan

Theme: Ebb and Flow

The Moon is trine Venus today bringing a warmth of connection with others and an appreciation of beauty that is strengthened with the placement of the Moon in Libra. Towards the end of the day Venus tips into the sign of Cancer increasing your capacity for deepening compassion and connection with others. It also increases your capacity for generosity and receiving gifts. In the wings the Saturn/Neptune conjunction continues to be a force of nature asking us to really let go our conceptions and ‘shoulds’ in order to truly connect and be of benefit to others.

 The right path is very steep upward, whereas the wrong path is horizontal.~Mizo proverb

Theme: Libran moments

The Moon is in Libra bringing a sense of impartial diplomacy to engagement, but also bringing more time for you to connect socially, and appreciate beauty. The Moon in Libra also compliments the dignity of the Sun in Leo – with the harmonious matching of air and fire elements. The Sun is slowly pulling away from Pluto and the powerful forces this opposition gives rise to.

No matter how expensive or beautiful the vase, without the flower, it has no meaning.~Sanu Sharma

The Moon remains Void of Course until the 1.25pm on July 31st so continue to contemplate the ‘small is beautiful’ phrase and avoid signing contracts.

Theme:     Opportunities

As Moon moves into Taurus it can provide a sense of inner contentment and stability, at times to the point of not wanting to change anything. But Pluto challenges the Moon stirring profound responses.
You may experience a compulsion to maintain security at all cost, which can lead to power struggles. By letting go of any resistance to change you can open yourself to new experiences.
The Moon is also supported by Jupiter encouraging concern for the welfare of others by joining group efforts to assist those in need.

“ All conceptualization, all phenomena arise from the belief in self nature and from the compulsion, at that point, to make self appear separate from other, making a reactive relationship necessary.”

Theme: Ebbing tides

The Moon is in its last quarter enabling resolutions of situations. It’s passage over Chiron triggers old emotional wounds but also illuminates their source. The Sun is square the Moon creating some tensions but also providing an opportunity to find a balance between your heart and head, and find a way to stay calm in the ebb and flow of life. The Moon is in good aspect to Mercury and Venus enabling a flow of ideas and joyful moments.

Here is my secret. It is very simple: It is only with the heart that one can see rightly; what is essential is invisible to the eye.~ Antoine de Sant Exupery

Theme: Enlivening

The Moon moves into Aries with a bang as it slides over the potent conjunct of Saturn and Neptune – and whatever aspects those planets make in your own chart. Aries shakes things up and initiates change. It’s loud and noisy but gets things done. The challenge with Aries energy is how to bring others along with those that initiate change. Nurturing and a focus on home life, and ancestors continues with the Sun in Cancer.

At night I sit ecstatic at the loom weaving forgiveness into our worldly regrets.~ Andrea Gibson

Theme: Insight

As the Sun conjuncts the White Moon, a focal point that signifies the closest point to earth in the moon’s orbit, there are more insights than usual into what drives your deeply ingrained habits and tendencies. This self-examination is reinforced by Mars conjunct the south node encouraging insight into old patterns of reactivity. With the White Moon in play you are also more connected with the wisdom aspect of your mind. The Moon is conjunct the north node bringing you closer to your purpose.

The Moon is Void of Course from 1.10pm until 12.32am the next day.

Since this life has many dangers And is even more transient than a bubble blown by the wind, What a wonder that we have the chance to live on Between the inhalation and exhalation or a breath or a sleep.~ Lord Nagarajuna

Theme: Compassion

The Moon has swung into Pisces bringing a dose for the heart. Pisces, of all the signs, enables you to tap into the well-spring of Bodhicitta, universal compassion. Saturn and Neptune have begun their retrograde journeys into Pisces and won’t turn direct until November 27 and December 10 respectively. It’s a time to integrate the energies of this odd couple in which the material world is dissolved around the edges showing you the nature of reality.

In matters of the heart, nothing is true except the improbable.~ Madame de Stael
