Event: Opportunity Period (thanks to Jim Shawvan for figuring out the Periods)
Date(s): October 10 2014 to October 11 2014
Time(s): 8:48 pm (ET)/5:48 (PT)
Moon sign: Taurus. .
Other Planet(s) Involved: Saturn in Scorpio
Void off Course: Yes. There are only 4 signs in the zodiac that work well with the Void off Course moon. Taurus is one of those 4 signs.
What does it Mean?:
Jim Shawvan, astrologer, over a 30 year period, has developed the Opportunity Period’s system. He shares his findings in Llewellyn’s Daily Planetary Guide.
“An Opportunity Period (OP) is a period in which the aspects of the transiting Moon to other transiting planets show no interference with the free flow of decision and action. (Jim Shawvan)
” Opportunity Periods apply to everyone in the world all at once; although, if the astrological influences on your own chart are putting blocks in your path, you may not be able to use every OP to the fullest. Nevertheless, you are always better off taking important actions and making crucial decisions during an Opportunity Period.” (Jim Shawvan)
When an OP appears make the best of the time if possible.
Some OP times are very short and happen in the late hours of the night or early hours of the morning.
This OP is good for socializing, socializing over a good meal and fine drink.
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.
Moon Sign: Aries at approx 6:07 am (ET) 3:07 am (PT)
Moon Phase: 2nd, moving towards a Full Moon
Void-off-Course: Yes: October 8 2014 @ approx: 10:20 am (ET): 7:20 am (PT). Until 7:44 am (ET): 4:44 am (PT): Moon v/c in Aries is not one of the 4 “good signs” Make sure you get all the facts before making any commitments..
House: 9th: House of house long distance travel, politics, religion, higher education and new experiences. Be open to subjects listed, but be cautious about taking action, as Mercury is retrograde until Oct 25. Instead, makes plans, do some research and enjoy “experiencing” something new from an “armchair” … :)
Opportunity Period: None
Note: Full Moon in Aries with a Total Lunar Eclipse: Situations happening during this time may last for 12 months.
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.
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 more of an effect on those who have the following in their charts:
What’s it all about: “Join Bonnie at the Brooklin Community Centre on Oct 9 from 7-9 pm. This is a transformative workshop for people wondering why their body ails them in the way that it does.

As our Lady becomes full this month at 6:51 am (ET)/3:51 am (PT) at the tail end of Aries, she will also become void off course @ 10:20 am (ET)/7:20 am(PT) until she enters into Taurus on October 9 at 7:44 am (ET)/4:44 am(PT).
The Full Moon is the perfect time to finish up on projects and get those loose ends sorted out… Traditionally the Full Moon is not the best time to begin new projects… so don’t start a new exercise regime this weekend, chances are you won’t stick with it, wait for the New Moon to pop up again…
The full moon will still carry with her the influence of an Aries moon, but it will be peppered with the influence of the Taurus moon.
The moon in Aries is bold, up for an adventure and not too happy to sit back and let things happen without putting in a word or two no matter who it might upset at the time. Boredom may take a hold regarding projects begun under the new moon and finishing them up now might not look like the most adventurous thing to be doing, but with some effort, encourage and support from others, it’s still possible to get them done. Watch out for starting arguments just to prove your point, or because you are feeling feistier then usual.
The moon in Taurus is sensual and secure at least that’s what she needs now. Its time to spend appreciating nature, listening to good music and eating good food. If change is required now, it’s not likely to go down too well, especially if its change brought about through something or someone beyond your control. Taking care of money issues may be in focus, or you could be unduly worried about a financial or residential situation. If changes do need to take place now against your will, it’s best to “grin and bear it” for the time being, resisting could cause added and unnecessary stress.
This Full Moon is likely to have a stronger effect on those with one or more of the following…
Aries Moon: Taurus Moon: Aries Sun: Taurus Sun: Moon in the 1st house: Moon in 2nd house: Moon in 11th house:
Aspects made to the moon will also have a stronger effect on some people. Negative aspects may produce challenging times, whereas positive aspects may produce windows of opportunity.
When the moon is void off course we can be unsure as to how we are really feeling about something or something, it’s therefore advisable to stick to routine tasks at this time. If any legal documents or long-term commitments are in the picture take care to make sure you understand everything that is involved before signing… Delaying important decisions and commitments is highly recommended when the moon is void off course…
Situations, relationship/partnership and issues begun on a Lunar Eclipse may proceed for a longer time or have a stronger influence. It is important then, that decisions made and relationship/partnerships entered into under a full moon lunar eclipse influence should be carefully considered before any commitment is made.
