Theme:    Thoughts and Feelings

This may not be the best day to get into debates about generalities with others, particularly about strong held beliefs on politics or world views, as you can easily slip into reactive tendencies.
On the other hand it’s a good time to get in touch with what is going on for you, either in solitude or with a close and supportive friend who can listen and give productive feedback.
Particularly with Moon trine Venus it’s a good day for gathering with friends and enjoying food together.
“ Be a rainbow in someone else’s cloud.”
Maya Angelou

The Moon is Void of Course from 3.45pm until 7.45pm EDT. Do not make major decisions during this time period

Theme:   The Great Awakener

Uranus has just moved into Gemini where it will remain for 8 years until August 2032, other than a sojourn in Taurus for one last time from November through May 2026, testing our values once more. Uranus has an 84 year cycle and was last in Gemini from 1941 – 1949, a time of war that with peace brought profound changes on the planet, restructuring global systems and bringing stability and prosperity.
Uranus is the great disrupter bringing exciting breakthroughs and also chaos and revolution. Gemini brings focus to areas of communication and education. Technology is already in the forefront of our minds with AI and we will experience sudden and accelerated changes in this area. There is a great shakeup of traditional ways of interaction but with mental flexibility we can embrace futuristic forms of communication that we may never have even dreamed of.

“ As when a flash of lightning rends the night and in its glare shows all the dark clouds had hid, likewise rarely, through the Buddha’s power virtuous thoughts rise, brief and transient in the world.”
Shantideva

Theme: Full Moon

With the Full Moon the energy peaks today so try to watch and not act so much in relation to strong emotions particularly as emotions are magnified during the full moon. At the same you can also have some emotional illumination depending on where the Moon falls in your personal chart. Once the Moon begins to wane the emotional energy also wanes. The Moon is in Capricorn so the energy is one of practical engagement opposite the Sun in Cancer which shines light on our family ties and home.

Moonlight is sculpture; sunlight is painting. ~Nathaniel Hawthorne

The Moon is Void of Course from 4.36pm until Friday 1.21pm. As this is a particularly long stretch of time it’s wise to do more inner work at this time and avoid signing contracts and things of that nature.

Theme: Protection

As the Sun approaches the White Moon, protection is afforded to those who are vulnerable. In Cancer this protective instinct doubles up even more. Family is central to the energy of Cancer. But it’s a family of connection not just biology that this sign embodies and protects. The Vertex is conjunct Saturn softening it’s karmic edges but also signifying destiny. Close to Saturn this conjunction signifies how responsibility combined with perseverance and determination bears fruit.

Conquer anger with love, evil with good, meanness with generosity, and lies with truth.~The Buddha

The Moon is Void of Course from 8.06am to 10:56am. Avoid the big stuff and instead give yourself time to find space to reflect and contemplate.

Theme: Sweeping views

The Moon is in Sagittarius providing buoyancy and a larger perspective about the emotional big picture. You’ll want to switch out your daily routine and take some fresh air or simply be outside. Venus is now in Gemini inviting short informative connections and changing decisions about the gamut of relationships. Venus is also opposite the Moon today intensifying emotional desires. The Sun in Cancer continues the theme of connecting the past with the present which is very good for cause and effect reflections.

Our home should be what is self-existing, free from concepts: primordial wakefullness.~Tulku Urgyen Rinpoche

Theme:    Diversity

Moon and Sun are trine today bringing inner peace and serenity. Meditation and reflection is optimal to gain personal insight into difficulties and misunderstandings in your life.
Venus moves into Gemini bringing creative energy and conversation with diverse connections. Unexpected financial losses may occur as Uranus moves out of Taurus in a couple of days and closer to Venus in Gemini.
“ Being present doesn’t mean being in a blank or thoughtless state. Being present means contentment.”
Dzigar Kongtrul

Theme:    Fireworks

There is a T square today between Mercury, Pluto and Moon which could bring challenges in communications and stir emotional fallout . Challenges always bring the opportunity for growth and this particular transit can be useful for self analysis and reflection. Pluto encourages depth and profound insights after the fireworks have died down.
Jupiter and Neptune help us apply spiritual values in our everyday life, stirring our wish to aid those who are suffering.

“ There is a need to maintain self in order to distinguish self from other, because if at any moment self drops the conceptualizations that surround it, self becomes indistinguishable from other and there is only suchness.”    Jetsunma Ahkon Lhamo

Theme: Finding balance and equanimity

The Moon is in Libra bringing the scales of justice and decision making into more play than usual. Sometimes, with Libran energy it takes more time to make decisions because all the pros and cons need to be weighed first. Diplomacy is another aspect of Libra reflecting it’s tendency to avoid conflict. Underneath lies a desire for equanimity. With Venus approaching Uranus except surprises, in your relationships. Remain flexible and you’ll be able to better deal with the unexpected.

May I bring beings to the six perfections and bring to an end everywhere the darkness of famine, conflict, impurity, war, enmity, argument, and dispute.~ The White Lotus of Compassion, Toh 112, 4.725

Tuesday by Wangmo

Theme: Cycles

The Moon is waxing, so beginnings and starting new endeavors are themes. Enthusiasm is also waxing! The Moon trine Venus puts a smile to your dial and brings gratitude and a ‘count your blessing’ theme for the day. Mercury is opposite Pluto giving more weight to communications. You are more likely to challenge or be challenged. It’s also a time when secrets can pop out unexpectedly, in the sense of ‘the cat is out of the bag’. The Moons nodes go direct for a few days in the signs of Pisces and Virgo. It’s a period of retrospection and handling the outcomes of past decisions including debt management.

The Moon is Void of course between 4.47pm and 5.16pm ESDT USA. Avoid signing contracts at this time. Take a moment to watch your breath and reflect.

If you want to know your past life, look at your present condition. If you want to know your future life, look at your present actions.~Padmasambhava
