The Moon and Astrology: How it affects our daily life… Transiting Moon in Aquarius… January 2015: New Moon in Aquarius January 2015

The Moon and Astrology

&

HOW IT AFFECTS OUR DAILY LIVES… 

In astrology, the moon is connected to our emotions and reactions… how we are feeling on a given day may well be influenced by the sign that is visiting the moon… Each sign stays with the moon for up to 2.5 days…. 🙂 

The Moon Void-off-Course: 

There are times throughout the month when the moon isn’t fully immersed in any sign… this is when we say the moon is Void off Course… and when this occurs, we may feel “foggy” and “unfocused” … We may not be sure how we are truly feeling about a situation or a person…. Therefore it is not recommended that we make long-term commitments or important decision’s while the moon is Void off Course…. However there are 4 signs in the zodiac which may prove positive during the Void-off-Course moon… 

Good for Void-Off-Course Moon:

These v/c signs may prove to be quite productive times.

• Cancer
• Taurus
• Sagittarius
• Pisces…

Opportunity Periods  (thanks to astrologer Jim Shawvan):

There are other periods throughout the month that are known as opportunity periods, when it can prove to be a positive time for most people, however if you have challenging aspects happening within your own chart you may not be able to make use of opportunity periods. 

Thanks to Jim Shawvan present day astrologer, William Lilly 17th century astrologer and Llewellyn’s Daily Planetary Guide for opportunity periods.

What does it all mean?

• Aquarius is “different”,  he is ahead of his time and capable of thinking and “seeing” things is a different way then the rest of us. 
• Aquarius is ruled by Uranus,  the planet of  shock and chaos.
• The New Moon in Aquarius: The new moon is a good time to begin new projects. We can distance ourselves emotionally now, so dealing in sensitive issues may be easier to handle. Those who are of an emotionally sensitive nature however, may not like being held at arm’s length. Team work and or family working together is the way to go for the next few days. We may be drawn to gadgets and technology. Any project begun now which deals with technology, or a new way of doing something is likely to go well during this new moon. 
• We may feel may inclined towards kindness, especially on a “global” level or towards animals, the elderly and those worse off. 
• Getting along with our four-legged friends may be on the top of our list now. 
• The time may be right to understand/learn about new technology, such as a new phone, tablet or t.v. 
• This moon period can bring out the rebel in us, prompting us to try new things and or meet new people. 
• Be careful not to break tradition just because one feels like being different or as some may see it, “difficult” Teenagers may feel the need to express themselves, so parents be for warned. 
• Personal freedom and individuality is very important now. Partner’s try not to restrict each other’s movements. Parent’s it might be a tight line you walk now. Employer’s give your “worker’s” a little “slack”. 
• Being organized might not be as easy now, so expect weird schedule’s and interrupted meetings…
• Our home and family members may feel extra important to us now. 
• It may be possible to find solutions to old issues relating to the home. 
• Changes may be in the air… 
• Could be a good time for inventions…
• This moon sign will have more of an effect on those who have the following in their charts.
• Moon in Aquarius
• Sun in Aquarius
• Uranus in Aquarius
• Moon in 4th house
• Any aspects to the Moon or Uranus.
