The Moon and Astrology: How it affects our daily life…Transiting Moon in Aries (2)…August 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?

• Aries is action, he is the most masculine of the Zodiac signs as he is ruled by the planet Mars
• We should have slightly more get up and go when the moon is in Aries
• We are happy to defend our loved ones
• We are apt to speak up more, even those of us who consider themselves to be “timid” can find the voice they need right now. 
• May be a good time to get your message across or to ask for what you need
• Be careful when driving especially when upset or angry
• We may be more susceptible to head injuries or head aches
• We could be eager to start projects now, however, we have just experienced a full moon, (time to finish up) so if you really want to start something now, choose something small… 🙂 
• Be careful about while engaging in physical activities, we may feel stronger or more “heroic” at the moment but our bodies might not be in the same “zone” 🙂 
• We may be more decisive than usual, as always use caution … 
• Be careful about saying yes to everything right now, we might feel like we can handle more, but when the time comes we could be sorry we took on so much at once. 
• Being healthy and feeling good so we can help others, or at the very least get our chores done may be on the agenda for the next few days. 
• In the 6th house: Being of service to others may come easier than usual, some of us may actually enjoy it. work can be more fulfilling but take care not to take on too much at once. We may find time spent with our pets more relaxing. If you are feeling stressed, go out for a nice relaxing walk, it will ease your mind and it’s good for the body too.
• Adults with a strong mars or Aries influence may be acting more like children than adults. 
• Some of us could be more insensitive or appear more selfish to others.
• If you aren’t looking to enlarge your family right now, take care, Aries has a lot of sexual energy to utilize… 😉
• The Moon in Aries will have a slight effect on all of us, but it will have more of an effect on those who have the following in their charts: Along with those who have a strong Virgo or Libra placement in their charts
• • Moon in Aries:
  • Sun in Aries:
  • Mars in Aries:
  • Moon in the 6th house:
  • Moon in Virgo
  • Sun in Libra or Virgo
  • Aspects to the Moon or Mars:
