Theme: Connecting with the heart

The Moon moves into the water sign of Pisces today bringing a softening and more open-hearted approach to life that compliments the Sun and Mercury in the earth sign of Taurus. The Sun is pulling away from Uranus making for less instability. Mars trine Venus enables you to connect with your inner yin and yang, making you feel more whole.

Hope is like the sun. If you only believe it when you see it you’ll never make it through the night.~Princess Leia, Star Wars

Theme: Increasing pressure

With Uranus one degree away from the Sun the next two days in particular can be more of a testing time in dealing with increased pressure and sudden external changes. You can can use this time internally to see where you seek more freedom in areas that may not be free flowing or spontaneous: current frustrations can help you identify key areas. The Moon in Aquarius provides space for innovation and experimentation with your daily schedule.

Freedom lies in being bold.~Robert Frost

Theme:  A Brief Moment in Time

The post from yesterday is still operative but today there is more intensity added as the Moon moves into Aquarius and conjuncts Pluto. The Aquarian Moon magnifies the significance of Uranus/Sun, bringing unpredictable reactions with the potential for detached objectivity. Some may appear aloof and lack sensitivity to others. Others may embrace humanitarian objectives.
Moon conjunct Pluto can bring intense feelings to the surface that can be overwhelming and threaten your sense of perspective. Relations with women will be of importance.

Taking care of children has nothing to do with politics. I think perhaps with time, instead of there being a politicization of humanitarian aid, there will be a humanization of politics.~Audrey Hepburn

The Moon is Void of Course from 12.27am until 1.29am EDT. Do not make any major decisions during this time period.

Theme:   Beneficial Change

Uranus’ influence can be disruptive as we have recently seen, but it can also bring great inspiration, new ideas, innovation and much needed exciting changes to our life. Today and for the next 2 days Uranus and Sun are exactly conjunct in Taurus at 27 degrees. The next couple of days could be very positive as both planets are in beneficial aspects to Neptune, Saturn, Pluto and the Moon. In fact if you have been aware of and working towards change in your life this could be a time of fruition.
Even though it impacts us individually due to the Sun’s influence, Uranus can bring in group and universal involvement.

What makes mind and the phenomenal world so interesting is that neither one of them is fixed. Because they are interdependent  – and therefore empty  –  both mind and the world are flexible and the creative possibilities are great.~Dzigar Kongtrul

Theme:  Cautious Potential

The Moon moving into Capricorn can bring grounding which may be helpful with the ups and downs and chaos that can occur with the Uranian energy being experienced currently. A Capricorn Moon will assist in taking control of challenging circumstances and with some planning, it will be possible for you to achieve what you need to. It’s important not to get lost in pessimism and just put one foot in front of the other to realize your goals.

This is how we should practice. Take small steps each time with joyful effort. Do these activities with good intentions and dedicate the merit from them to all sentient beings. ~ Khenpo Palden Sherab

Theme: Transitions

The Moon is the most swift moving celestial body so it has the most obvious impact on our daily lives. It acts as a mirror in illuminating the the Suns rays and similarly reflects back to us our mirror-like world. The Moon is now in its last quarter waning phase which is a gentle, reflective time to find your heart center. You can set soft goals right now and re-callibrate. If you tap into this changing lunar energy you can also better prepare for spontaneous events while Uranus continues to conjunct the Sun.

You are not a drop in the ocean. You are the entire ocean in a drop.~Rumi

The Moon is Void of Course between 2.29 and 3.58pm. Avoid major activity at this time including seeking definitive decisions and signing contracts. Spend some quiet time if you can.

Theme: Spark

The Sun is conjunct Uranus and the asteroid Hygeia for the next few days so expect the unexpected and a focus on improving health. Uranus rules electrical connections both in the body and in equipment. Uranus energy also breaks up old outmoded structures in order for fresh energy to enter into activities. With the Sun’s involvement in this conjunction that equation concerns your purpose and direction.

The essence is like the original sun shining: naturally radiant and unformed.~Tulku Urgyen Rinpoche

Theme: Expanding view

The Moon moves into Sagittarius today: try something new and be adventurous. The energy of Sagittarius invites not only physical adventures but adventures of the mind. The continuing conjunction of Saturn conjunct Ceres highlights the benefits of nourishing oneself and others with discipline and planning. Forethought assists in this outcome.

We can practice on an instrument that is high fidelity, we can practice on an instrument that is true and real, and the sound will be similar to the goal and will produce the goal…that instrument is your pure intention. That instrument is your effort. And how that instrument works for you is exactly in accordance with what you do and how you hold yourself as you walk down the spiritual path.~Her Eminence Jetsunma Ahkon Norbu Lhamo

The Moon is Void of Course from 2.37am to 4.35am. Avoid signing major contracts at this time or embarking on major activities. Take time out for reflection and quiet time.

Monday by Wangmo

Theme: Full Moon

The Moon is full in Scorpio deepening your awareness of the ebb and flow of daily life, and the psychology which propels your actions. Often full moons are accompanied by an emotional lead up that peaks then abates once the Moon wanes. Mercury is now in Taurus encouraging us to think practically and concretely. Mercury is also exactly square Pluto bringing you to focus intensely on a person or activity. Productive insights are borne of standing back from your fixed position and examining how to re-frame encounters.

Humor allows us to see that ultimately things don’t make sense. The only thing that truly makes sense is letting go of anything we continue to hold on to.~ Dzigar Kongtrul

Theme:   Inner Reflection

Today with Moon opposite Mercury it’s a good time to reflect on emotional reactions with the potential for depth of insight as Mercury is also in aspect to Pluto.
It’s not the best day for discussions with others as conflict can arise. Be careful not to force your opinions or beliefs on others as they will likely not take it well.
Introspection, study and reflection will bring greater awareness.
“ With a longing to take refuge in something other than ignorance and self importance, you will discover great courage – even in the face of overwhelming disease, loss, hatred, confusion and pain. So when you feel shaken to the depths of your being, recite the Refuge prayer.”   Dzigar Kongtrul
