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.

  • Date: Monday August 15 to 17 2015
  • Moon Sign: Virgo 5:27 am (ET) 2:27 am (PT)
  • Moon Phase: 1st 
  • Void-off-Course: August 17 @ 1:16 pm (ET): 10:16 am (PT). To 4:23 pm (ET) 1:23 pm (PT) Virgo Moon v/c is not one of the 4 “good signs” Try not to make any important decisions or commitments now. Rest if you are feeling tired or a cold coming on. 
  • House(s): 12th: House of secrets…alone time… fantasy… illusion… pretend play… also relates to how we look at institutions such as hospitals, schools and prisons…
  • Opportunity Period: August 15 @ 9:29 pm (ET) 6:29 pm (PT): to August 17 @ 1:16 pm (ET) 10:16 am (PT). If you have a decision to make, now is a good time, as this OP brings about clear thinking and tactful communication. 

What does it all mean?

  • Virgo is all about the details, so be prepared to see to them or at least have someone else see to them for you, you will feel better 🙂 
  • Try not to worry about things you have no control over, especially things that might not ever happen… Because Virgo “see’s” all the details others miss, it’s hard for her not to worry… 
  • It’s good to keep busy during a Virgo moon, make lists, tidy, organize, plan, find solutions to problems… a lot can get done now
  • Virgo can be more critical than the rest of the zodiac, but only because she so need things to be “correct” or “perfect”. Try to give yourself and other’s a break over the next couple of days. If you are an employer, be prepared that tasks may not get completed exactly they way you had expected.
  • In the 12th house, time spent alone in meditation, thinking through issues, finding answers may be on the agenda… Some of us could be swept away into a world of fantasy if we allow ourselves. And for others, it may be a good idea to be aware of deception, which could come in many forms. Our psychic abilities will be stronger now, making this a good time for divination work. 
  • This moon sign will have more of an effect on those who have the following in their charts. And those who have a strong Aquarius or Pisces placement in their charts..
  • Moon in Virgo
  • Sun in Virgo
  • Venus in Virgo
  • Moon in 6th house
  • Moon in the 12th house
  • Any aspects to the Moon or Mercury. 
  • Ascendant in Virgo
  • Mid-heaven in Virgo
