Astrological “Event”: Jupiter goes from retrograde to direct
Sign: Leo
Date (s): April 08 2015
House:11th house
What Does This All Mean:?
Jupiter is the planet of expansion and of luck. As he has been in retrograde motion for the last few months, the expansion in our life that we have expected, needed or desired may have been just within grasp but almost certainly out of reach. We may have had time to expand our ideas in a more secluded or personal manner, and we may have learnt to rely more on ourselves than on “luck”.
Now, as Jupiter turns direct, movement and action resulting in progress is once again possible. It’s time to take our ideas, notions, passions and excitement to the next level. Be open to opportunities and chance meetings, all of which can help to move us along our merry way.
Those who have a strong Jupiter influence may experience expansion in the personal life and in the physical sense.. these folk may have to watch the diet or come up with an enjoyable exercise routine. It is especially important for these guys to be open to opportunities within areas of interest, love, business, work, if they are in the process of a new beginning.
Transiting Jupiter in Leo in the 11th house: This could be a good time to spend with friends, pets and children, expansions in these areas are also possible. Joining teams, groups, doing volunteer or community work can be enjoyable and rewarding.
This transit will affect all of us, but will affect those with the following in their charts more.
SGC Admin: We would love to hear from you, :) we are happy to answer your questions and value your comments… Please use the form below to send us your feedback.. :)
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.
Moon Sign: Sagittarius at 1:08 am 04/08 (ET) 10:08 pm 04/07 (PT)
Moon Phase: 3rd
Void-off-Course: April 09 @ 1:42 pm (ET) 10:42 am (PT) to April 10 @ 8:47 am (ET) 5:47 am (PT): Moon v/c in Sagittarius is one of the 4 void off course “good signs” (see above).
House(s): 3rd: House of communication, short journeys, day-to-day affairs and siblings.
Opportunity Period: April 9 12:48 am (ET) April 8 9:49 pm (PT) to April 10 @ 8:47 am (ET) 5:47 am (PT): Great time to play, especially if that play involves work too. :)
What does it all mean?
Sagittarius is the most “easy-going” of the fire signs and is ruled by Jupiter “the lucky planet”
We are going to want our personal freedom now, so take care partners who have a possessive or jealous tendencies, they might not be tolerated for the next couple of days.
Because Sagittarius is ruled by Jupiter “the lucky planet” we may be feeling luckier then usual… Just take care not to go over the budget… :)
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.
In the 3rd house: Our focus may turn to our day-to-day activities, perhaps we will feel its time to sign up for a new exercise program or study class, as long as it’s fun of course. Siblings may be in the picture for the next couple of days. Catch up on emails and phone calls. .
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 placement in their charts.

Void-off-Course: April 7 @ 4:42 pm (PT) 1:42 pm (ET) to 1:08 am April 8 (ET) 10:08 pm April 7 (PT).
House(s): 1st & 2nd: Begins in 1st on 04/05 moves into the 2nd on 04/06: The 1st house relates to the self, indicating a preoccupation with anything to do with ourselves, ;). In the 2nd house we turn our focus to our finances and security.
Opportunity Period: April 6 4:57 pm (ET) 1:57 pm(PT) to April 7 4:42 pm(PT) 1:42 (PT). Can be productive for getting work done.
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.
Sex may be high on the agenda for some of us… so if you don’t want to help the world population grow right now use caution… :)
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…
In the 1st house: Our personal desires and needs will be on our minds. We may be more selfish, so be careful around sensitive loved ones. Some of us may be more “needy” which can be off-putting to independent types. Be careful how you go after what you want, being mean or sneaky now to achieve it may come back to get you later.
In the 2nd house: This could prove to be a good time to look into investments, these include property investments as well as monetary ones. Financial mergers are possible now with better long-term results. If you have been wanting to beef up your residential or business property security, now is a good time, as you are more likely to find the information you are looking for. Keep in mind the Mercury Retrograde, be sure to check and double-check all paper work before signing.
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.. and those who have a strong Aries or Taurus placement in their charts.

Moon Sign: Libra at approx 3:07 am (ET) 12:07 am (PT)
Moon Phase: 2nd: Moves into the 3rd quarter on April 5: Full Moon is April 4
Void-off-Course: April 4 @ 11:59am (ET|) 8:59 am(PT) to April 5 @ 3:04 pm (ET) 12:04 pm (PT) Moon v/c in Libra is not one of the 4 void off course “good signs” (see above).
House: 1st: (Equal) The house of the self and possible new endeavors
Opportunity Period: None
What does it all mean?
Libra has a need for balance, indicating this moon period may be an ideal time to implement some into our daily lives.
A desire for justice may be present, dealing with issues that have upset our sense of justice may prove to be productive.
Diplomacy is likely to be more apparent during the next few days, and may be a good time to bring up that topic you have been putting on the back burner.
Hesitation is probably going to raise its head, we may see many sides of a story and find it difficult to make up our minds.
Difficulty in making commitments or long-term decisions, because we can’t make up our minds. If this is the case perhaps wait a few days until the moon has moved out of Libra.
Libra is happiest when in a relationship or partnership.
Libra can be tactful, diplomatic and co-operative. Yet when she visits with the 1st house she may appear to be selfish or less than sensitive to the needs/feelings of others. For those with Libra traits, be aware of your emotional responses for the next few days. For the rest of us, being understanding can help potentially sensitive situations run smoother.
The moon is in the 2nd quarter, dealing with things already set in motion. With the moon sitting in the 1st house, we may be able to introduce a new idea connected to ongoing situation.
This moon sign will affect us all but will have more of an effect on those who have the following in their charts.
Focus is likely to be on relationships, making our surroundings beautiful. We may have to watch the budget as we are prompted to shop for the home, or visit places of beauty and inspiration. Traditionally the full moon relates to endings, things coming to fruition and or completion. Because Libra deals in relationships, and because up until April the 6th the moon is in the 1st house, some folk might be emotionally fragile right now when it comes to personal relationships. Baby steps and patience is recommended along with open, honest and compassionate communication regarding romantic “hiccups” which may occur over the next couple of days.
When an eclipse happens it strengthens the influences, and will impact the house(s) involved on a deeper or longer lasting level. It is important that those who’s lives are affected more than usual during the Lunar Full Moon Eclipse take care when making commitments or decisions, keeping in mind the actions taken now may be have a lasting effect for the next 12 months. As the transiting moon is in Libra during this Lunar Eclipse, relationship issues and long-term decisions relating to such will likely be in focus.
Mars is the male planet, he is action and can be aggressive, he can be rash and selfish, but also work in heroic ways to help us move forward, speak up for ourselves and others and pushes us to experience new frontiers. He is the ruler of Aries and corresponds to the head, the blood and the muscles.
Taurus likes to move a bit slower than action loving Mars may like. Taurus is also quite a luxury loving type of gal and she enjoys her comforts… Ruled by Venus, Taurus enjoys a sensual nature and needs both emotional and physical security.
We can be very determined now, so get those things done you have been putting off.. Time to put the shoulder to the wheel.
Some of us may use our determination in a rather stubborn way, this could be a good or a bad thing, so take care when, where and with whom you apply this.
If you are a bargain hunter, get yourself out there, you could be a huge bargain magnet right now.
Fabulous time to sort out the closets and get ourselves organized for the nicer weather…And if you are into setting up a yard sale you can start your pile now… :)
It’s a good time to sit down and look over our finances and to set up a workable budget
Our finances may be high on the agenda now
This astrological “event” will affect everyone, but will have more of an effect on the following.
