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.
At the same time a pleasant transit of Sun and Jupiter can increase our good fortune over the next couple of weeks. 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.

“ In some sense every path, conventional or spiritual, is about the pursuit of happiness and liberation from suffering.”
Dzigar Kongtrul

Theme:    A Pleasant Day

With Moon opposition Venus today you should be in for a pleasant time enjoying the company of good friends over lunch or dinner. Just be attentive to overindulging in all things good in life as your final bill may be more than expected.
Mercury Uranus will have a mentally stimulating effect bringing insights and inspiration to creative communication whether that is writing or conversation.
Just be careful not to be impulsive when driving, particularly if you’ve had a couple of drinks over lunch.

“ Forever is composed of nows.”
Emily Dickinson

Theme: Have confidence

Mars is square Jupiter today. It’s a time of energetic confidence and drive. Explore the wider view of reality and while you’re doing so harness the diplomatic energy of the placement of Mars in Libra. The Moon is conjunct Pluto in Aquarius bringing an emotional intensity to the usually sanguine energy of Moon in Aquarius. You have the opportunity to let go of deep inner habitual patterns.

Love and the gracious heart are a single thing…one can no more be without the other than the reasoning mind without its reason.~ Dante Alighieri

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.

The merit of meditating for nine years is not as great as teaching or hearing the dharma once.~ The Buddha

Theme: Adventures

The Moon is in Sagittarius for most of the day continuing to bring the spirit of adventure to the day and open your eyes to the wider world. It’s a good day for both physical and learning activity. The Moon is also trine Mercury and square Saturn. With Mercury’s aspect to the Moon communications and short journeys are emphasized: you can also be more clear, concise and compassionate in your activities today. With Saturn’s involvement there are challenges around feeling hemmed in. If you focus on your responsibilities you will navigate your way.

In fact, freedom is in danger of degenerating into mere arbitrariness unless it is lived in terms of responsibleness.~ Viktor Frankl

The Moon is Void of Course between 9.38 and 9.44pm ESDT USA. Avoid doing anything outlandish at this time. Small activities and self-reflection are best.

Theme:    Seeking Truth in the Details

Health and work are the main focus while the Sun is in Virgo. Today the Moon in Sagittarius squares the Sun, which can bring minor problems to the surface that need attention.
Sagittarius seeks the truth in all matters, from the spiritual to the mundane. So pay attention to details and make course corrections when needed.
If you have a health issue seek to identify the problem and then find the right healing solution for you. Sport and exercise are favored with this transit. You may also be interested in organizing a long distance trip as different cultures and ethnicities peak your curiosity.

“ Truth is for earnest seekers, not for those of idle curiosity.”       Yogananda

Theme:       Widening the Lens

The Moon in Scorpio trine Jupiter in Cancer widens our world view and gives rise to concern for the welfare of others but with a feeling of optimism in how to be supportive.
Sun square Uranus has been prodding an urge for individual change and thirst for freedom, with the Gemini influence to Uranus stimulating creative and inspired methods of how to bring that change to fruition. Venus square Pluto rallies a desire for heartfelt change that even transforms social structures, not just on a personal level.
Mars square Jupiter urges adventurous action taking us out of lethargy and inspiring initiatives for improving the life of others.

“ According to Buddhist teaching and according to what I have seen, karma never fails to ripen. The problem lies in our lack of understanding of cause and effect.”
Jetsunma Ahkon Lhamo

Theme: Arisings

With the Moon in Scorpio you can expect others, including yourself, will want to explore your deeper motivations and drives. It’s a day of psychological investigation and research! Challenging as Scorpio sometimes is, it has resilience, tenacity and the gift of transformation on its side: harness this energy for good and steer your course true north. The White Moon is close by to Venus warding off difficult relationships and smoothing the way to truly care for others.

Knowing yourself is the beginning of all wisdom.~Aristotle

Theme: Intensifying

Venus is opposite Pluto stirring the pot of relationships. It’s always hard to see what’s going on where Pluto is involved until some time has elapsed. So, if you can, avoid expressing strong emotional responses to situations. Be like a guard for your own mind – no matter how provocative situations are. The Moon moves into Scorpio later in the day bringing it’s own intensity so you don’t want to add to the emotional complexity of the day. Instead turn the search light inwards and examine your own mind.

Dark star crashes pouring its light into ashes. Reason tatters, the forces tear loose from the axis…Searchlight casting for faults in the clouds of delusion. Shall we go, you and I while we can. Through the transitive nightfall of diamonds?~ Grateful Dead
