What does it all mean?

  • Sagittarius is the most “easy-going” of the fire signs and is ruled by Jupiter “the lucky planet”
  • Some of us  may be feeling luckier then usual… caution is advised 😉
  • We could have more energy for fun things such as music, sports and shows
  • It’s easier to try something new and exciting just take care not to get carried away.
  • Could be a good time to take a few days for rest, relaxation and laughter
  • Good time for day dreaming and making fantastic plans for the future.
  • While this moon will have a slight effect on all of us… those with the following in their charts will feel it stronger as will those who have a strong Gemini or Cancer chart placing 
    • Moon in Sagittarius
    • Jupiter in Sagittarius
    • Moon in the 9th house
    • Sun in Sagittarius
    • Aspects to the Moon and Jupiter. 

When the transiting moon becomes full while in the sign of Sagittarius: 

  • All of the above characteristics of a Sagittarius moon will be highlighted when the moon is full. 
  • Take advantage of the good feeling that comes with this full moon, get out and about with friends, enjoy some laughter and fun times. 
  • Get out into nature, enjoy the outdoors and appreciate the sheer beauty of it all. 
  • Try something new, pick up a book on something you have always been curious about. Take a class, join in a group discussion. 
  • Plan or take a trip and treat it like a fabulous adventure. 
  • Having fun and enjoying lots of laughter is the key to this full moon, watch out for excess though as it easy to blur the lines at this time.
  • The Full Moon is traditionally thought of as the best time to finish up projects already on the go… If projects need to be started under a full, this also includes, career’s, jobs and relationships.. don’t be alarmed if things don’t seem to be moving ahead as fast as you would like… perhaps, all is not as it seems..

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-of-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 of Course… when this occurs, we may feel “foggy” or “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 of Course…. However there are 4 signs in the zodiac which may prove positive during the Void-off-Course moon… 

  • 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.

  • Date: May 15 @ 5:33 pm (ET) @2:33 pm (PT)
  • Moon Sign: Virgo
  • Moon Phase: 1st, moves into 2nd on the 16th
  • Void-off-Course: May 18 @ 5:09 am(ET) @2:09 am (PT) to moon into Libra. Moon v/c is not one of the 4 “good signs” Try not to make any important decisions or commitments now.
  • Opportunity Period:  

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. 
  • 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 needs things to be “correct” or “perfect”. If you are an employer, be prepared that tasks may not get completed exactly the way you had expected, be gentle and patient. 😊
  • The Moon in Virgo can be good for the following activities:
  • Break Habits (Better if in the moon is in the 3rd or 4th quarter):
  • Canning foods (Better if in the moon is in the 3rd or 4th quarter):
  • Fixing Cars:
  • Hair cut for less growth (Better if in the moon is in the 3rd or 4th quarter):
  • Mowing the lawn to retard growth (Better if in the moon is in the 3rd or 4th quarter):
  • Sending Mail:
  • Starting a diet (Better if in the moon is in the 3rd or 4th quarter): 
  • This moon sign will have more of an effect on those who have the following in their charts. 
  • Moon in Virgo
  • Sun in Virgo
  • Ascendant in Virgo
  • Mid-heaven in Virgo
  • Moon in 6th house
  • Any aspects to the Moon or Mercury.
  • And those who have a strong Pisces placement in their charts..

NOTES:

May 15 @1:05 pm (ET) @10:05 am (PT):  Mercury moves into the sign of Taurus. ♉ 

  • Mercury is the planet of Communication, Transportation and Technology. Mercury rules Gemini and Virgo. 
  • Taurus is ruled by Venus, and is connected to the 2nd house of material and emotional security. 
  • Our thinking and communications may be focused on our material security, this may include, where we are living, or where we plan to be living in the near future. Our job, career or vocation direction and how that will provide a secure future will also be a subject at the dinner table.  It may be a good time to have discussions regarding finances, getting personal budgets under control, and figuring out ways to “tighten the belt”. 
  • Taurus, will take her time in figuring out the best path forward, indicating that patience may be needed when it comes to getting answers regarding anything to do with finances.

What does it all mean?

  • Some of us may be feeling more frugal than usual, preferring to save our funds instead of spend them. 
  • Taurus has lots of patience, making this an opportune time time to deal with people/projects/situations that take up more time than we would like. 
  • Things that give us pleasure, such as comfort foods, wine, relaxing, good music and giving/receiving  are all things we may enjoy right now. It’s a FEEL GOOD moon sign. 😊
  • Keep your temper under check if you can, Taurus is very, very patient and it takes a lot to make her angry, but watch out once she has had enough, she will certainly let you know.. 
  • Take your time when the moon is in this sign, there is no need to hurry, and you probably won’t get very far if you do… so sit back and enjoy the ride… :)

The Moon and Astrology: How it affects our daily life…Transiting Moon in Capricorn April 2024

Present Moon Sign/Phase/House:

picture Copyright : Elena Besedina
  • Date: April 28 @5:37am (ET) @2:37am (PT) 
  • Moon Sign: Capricorn
  • Moon Phase: 3rd
  • Void-of-Course: April 30 @11:19am (ET) @8:19am (PT) to moon into Aquarius a minute later. Capricorn Moon v/c is not one of the 4 “good signs”
  • Opportunity Period: April 29 @11:45 am (ET) @ 8:45 am (PT) to moon void of course. “Very positive OP ideal for constructive and innovative projects, but Mercury is slow and the Moon is waning, so it is preferable to focus on work started before late March” (if possible) PB

What does it all mean?

  • Capricorn is business, duty and discipline. She is ruled by Saturn, the planet of restrictions. 
  • We may be more in tune with our work/career or vocational direction.
  • Change may be more challenging to deal with, and we may be resistant towards it… 
  • Being disciplined towards our “duties/chores” may be easier to achieve. 
  • Dealings with the elderly may be in focus. 
  • Dealings with “authority” types, such as teachers, principles, supervisor’s may be in focus. Being respectful of such positions may help to alleviate tension. 
  • This could be a good time to get mundane business tasks out-of-the-way
  • If you have been waiting to get a “chaotic” situation under control, now may be a good time to do it. 
  • Rules and regulations may be in focus, and depending on how you deal with these, it could be a favorable time or a stressful one. 
  • Good time to watch, listen and learn
  • This moon sign will have more of an effect on those who have the following in their charts. And those who have a strong  Cancer placing in their charts. 
  • Moon in Capricorn
  • Moon in Cancer (to a lessor degree)
  • Sun in Capricorn
  • Saturn in Capricorn
  • Moon in 10th house
  • Ascendant or Midheaven in Capricorn

NOTES: 
  • April 29 @ 7:31 am(ET) @ 4:31 am (PT) Venus enters Taurus. Venus rules Taurus so she is very comfortable with this visit. Focus is likely to be on material and financial security, which may include a concentrated effort in securing ones own home or property, along with a serious look at the financial side of things. While spending is always on the agenda when Venus is in town, it won’t be surprising to see most folks becoming more selective on what and where they spend. 
  • Mercury went stationary direct on April 25th… Situations will remain a little delayed, and communications can still become muddled until the Beg of May. 

  • 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:

  • 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.

The Moon and Astrology: How it affects our daily life… Transiting Full Moon in Scorpio April 2024

Present Moon Sign/Phase/House:

Scorpio is a water sign People of this sign are the creative personalities, emotional and impulsive Stock Photo - 20479497
http://www.123rf.com: Copyright : helein

  • Date: April 23 @11:20 am(ET) @8:20 am(PT)
  • Moon Sign: Scorpio 
  • Moon Phase: 2nd moves into the 3rd on the 24th
  • Void-off-Course: May 16 @ 5:28 am(ET) @ 2:28 am(PT) April 25 @7:17pm (ET) @ 4:17pm (PT)to Moon into Sagittarius a few hours later
  • Opportunity Period: April 2 @7:55am(ET) @4:55am(PT) to void of course moon. “Take advantage of Mercury stationing direct during this OP to plan and chart a new path” PB

 

 

The Full Moon occurs on April 23 @7:49pm (ET) @4:49pm (PT)

When the moon is Full, it can be the best time to put the finishing touches on projects, end relationships, leave jobs, or “end” anything that is no longer in our best interests.  :).

Some of us may feel more emotional during this month’s full moon as she brings in the watery sensitivity of Scorpio….

Watch out for feelings of jealousy/envy, or being overly blunt to the point of hurting others. Secrets can come out, or be shared with others, so take care who you share your information with. Some of us may feel more intense about a subject, situation, or person, and some of us may feel we need our space… Take care with the handling of all emotional situations, Check the facts before passing judgements. 

Psychic abilities are likely stronger, and some of us may experience vivid dreams. 

The Full moon will enhance this moon sign’s influence.

 

What does it all mean?

  • Scorpio is very intense and probably the most sensitive of the zodiac signs
  • The moon relates to our emotions, indicating we could be feeling everything more deeply for the next couple of days
  • We can immerse ourselves in our projects now.
  • Watch for becoming obsessed with someone or something…. not everyone falls for someone at the same time and patience may be needed regarding sensitive relationship matters
  • Be sure that your partner, friend, lover, co-worker or school friend is really trying to upset your personal apple cart before making waves
  • We could be encouraged or directed towards taking risks or doing things we wouldn’t normally do, especially those of a group or team nature. 
  • Some of us may be highly creative right now, while others get connected to their psychic side… 
  • Secrets may be told now… we can be enticed to open up to others about our deepest feelings/fantasy’s…
  • While we will all be effected slightly by the Scorpio moon, she will have a greater effect on those who have the following in their charts.. 
    • Moon in Scorpio
    • Sun in Scorpio
    • Moon in the 8th house
    • Aspects to the Moon or Pluto
    • Personal planets in Taurus

NOTES:

April 20: Major Conjunction, Jupiter/Uranus in Taurus:

  • Jupiter = Expansion/Luck:
  • Uranus = Shock/Chaos/Change:
  • Taurus = Material and financial security/ownership.

Jupiter and Uranus are outer planets, and the influence is felt on a generational/global level more than a personal one… However, we shall all feel the affects at some point along the way and those with strong Jupiter (Sagittarius, 9th house) Uranus (Aquarius, 11th house) Taurus, 2nd house, and perhaps Scorpio chart influences are likely to feel the affects more…

This is not an influence of which we see changes immediately, it is a slow moving aspect (14 years) and like the sign of Taurus, stead fast and true. Perhaps, we can hold out hope that good changes will be on the way for us all. As an event chart” the conjunction begins in the 6th house of health, work, hygiene and service… in my personal chart, this transitional conjunction will affect my 11th house of teamwork, kindred spirits, causes and social situations.. 

  • April 22: Earth Day
  • April 22: Passover begins at Sundown
  • April 23: Full Moon in Scorpio
  • April 25: Mercury Stations Direct, still in storm, situations that have been stymied, may begin to see some traction, but patience is still needed, as there are still bumps ahead until Mercury goes Direct at the beginning of May.
