The Moon and Astrology: How it affects our daily life…Transiting Moon in Sagittarius February 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.

  • House(s): 3rd & 4th: 3rd House of communication, short journeys, day-to-day affairs and siblings. 4th house of domestic duty and family.
  • Opportunity Period: February 14 10:16 am (ET) 7:16 am (PT) to 5:24 PM (ET) 2:24 pm (PT): This is a short OP but it can be of use.. keep in mind that Mercury is still in his storm, so be sure your valentine message is what you mean and for the right person 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. 
  • In the 4th house: We will be concerned with home and family, making this an excellent time to engage in some fun sports activity together. Getting our home organized around the house might be easier to do while this fire sign is about.
  • While this moon will have a slight effect on all of us… those with the following in their charts will feel it stronger
    • Moon in Sagittarius
    • Jupiter in Sagittarius
    • Moon in 3rd house
    • Moon in the 4th house
    • Moon in the 9th house
    • Sun in Sagittarius
    • Aspects to the Moon and Jupiter.

Mercury Retrograde January 2015: Mercury turns direct again February 11 2015.

Mercury Retrograde… we hear and see this quite a bit in and out of the astrology world…. and sometimes Mercury gets a bad wrap when he goes retro… but it’s not all bad.. :)  When Mercury goes retrograde it would appear from our Earth’s prospective that Mercury is moving backwards….. hmmm no wonder he can cause some confusion…  Yet, if we can “respect” Mercury while he is in this position by applying the “rules” that fit with this circumstance, we can come out of this period with a smile instead of a frown… :) 

The “rules” are as follows… 

  • Pay attention to and do as many things possible with the two letters RE in front of the word… for example… REnovate: REdocorate: REdo: REcreate: REnew: 
  • Try not to begin any new projects: 
  • Might not be a good time to start a new relationship
  • May be a good time to renew a relationship (depending on personal chart data)
  • Try not to sign important documents. Exception renewing a mortgage, but be very careful about the small print. 
  • If you need to sign important papers, make sure you understand everything, if you don’t ask questions. 
  • Mistakes in communications and messages are highly likely during this period, so read and REread before you sign or commit. 
  • Expect delays in communications or in getting your questions answered. 
  • Expect misunderstandings in communications
  • Have patience when communicating
  • Have patience when waiting for a reply or an answer
  • New plans made during this time may not work out as planned or may need to be REdone at a later date

When Mercury is said to be in “storm” he is moving very slowly, the effects of the Mercury Retrograde will apply to a slighty lesser degree.

The First 2015 Mercury Retrograde, “storm” and when it turns direct dates are below.

  • Mercury entered its “storm” on January 17,
  • He went Retrograde on January 21:
  • Mercury turns direct on February 11:
  • Mercury is clear of its storm February 19:

Present Moon Sign/Phase/House:

Scorpion Zodiac Sign on the blue background Stock Vector - 18176211
http://www.123rf.com: Copyright : Svetlana Konovalova
  • Date: February 9 2015 to February 12 2015
  • Moon Sign: Scorpio February 10 @ 2:05 am (ET) February 9 @ 11:05 pm (PT)
  • Moon Phase: 3rd
  • Void-off-Course: February 11 @ 9:32 pm (PT) February 12 @ 12:32 am (ET) to February 12 @ 11:46 am (ET) 8:46 am (PT).
  • House(s): 1st & 2nd: Begins in 1st on Feb 9 and ends in 2nd on Feb 12: 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: None

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” this can be offputting to independant 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.. 
    • Moon in Scorpio
    • Sun in Scorpio
    • Moon in Aquarius
    • Moon in the 1st house
    • Moon in the 2nd house
    • Moon in the 8th house
    • Moon in Cancer
    • Aspects to the Moon, the Sun or Pluto

Present Moon Sign/Phase/House:

http://www.123rf.com: Copyright : Burmakin Andrey
  • Date: February 7 to February 9 2015
  • Moon Sign: Libra at approx 1:44 pm (ET) 10:44 am (PT)
  • Moon Phase: 3rd
  • Void-off-Course: February 9 6:58 am (ET) 3:58 am (PT) to February 10 2:05 am (ET) February 9 11:05 pm (PT)
  • House(s) 12th & 1st: The 12th house is the house of fantasy, illusion, how we “deal” with institutions (hospitals, schools, etc) the moon starts out in the 12 and will move into the first by February 9: The first house is about the SELF
  • Opportunity Period: February 8 2015 7:02 pm (ET) 4:02 pm (PT) to February 9 2015 6:58 am (ET) 3:58 am (PT): Mostly useful for night owls, but we can all benefit if we have stuff to do in the evening.

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 move has moved out of Libra. 
  • Libra is happiest when in a relationship or partnership. Indicating this may be a good time to begin one. :) Just keep in mind that the moon is in the 12 house of dreams and fantasy’s Sept 24 to early hours of the 27th. We may see what we want to see instead of what is reality.
  • Co-operation should be in the air, making this an ideal time to make plans with others. 
  • May be a good time to improve our appearance and surroundings. 
  • May be great time to go bargain hunting, 
  • While the moon is in the 12 house, we may feel more inclined to spend some time alone to reflect and review our life. We can be “deceived” and should be cautious of our perspective. Some of us may be involved in a hospital or correctional facility or School or we may find we are supported loved ones and/or friends regarding these facilities.
  • When the moon is in the 1st house, focus can turn inwards, or we may be preoccupied with ourselves, our needs and our desires… This works well for those who seem to be on the giving end all the time, however those who have a selfish streak may be even more so now.
  • This moon sign will affect us all but will have more of an effect on those who have the following in their charts.
    • Moon in Libra,
    • Sun in Libra,
    • Venus in Libra
    • Venus in Taurus
    • Moon in 7th house,
    • Moon in the 11th house
    • Moon in 1st house,
    • Any aspects to the Moon

  • Date: Monday February 5 2015 to February 7 2015
  • Moon Sign: Virgo 12:46 am February 5 (ET) 9:46 pm (PT) 
  • Moon Phase: 3rd quarter
  • Void-off-Course: Yes: February 6 @ 5:09 pm (ET): 2:09 pm (PT). Until 1:44 pm (ET): 10:44 am (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): 11th 12th: 11th House of  Teams, Groups, Friends and Causes: 12 th house of dreams, escapism, psychic abilities and deception.
  • Opportunity Period: None

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.
  • The moon in the 11th house will see focus on community events, team work and group play.. sometimes we can make new friends when the moon is in this house. 
  • The moon in the 12th house may have us in dream land if we let it… we may also be busy with family and friends in institution facilities such as hospitals, schools and correctional facilities.
  • This moon sign will have more of an effect on those who have the following in their charts.
  • Moon in Virgo
  • Sun in Virgo
  • Venus in Virgo
  • Moon in 6th house
  • Moon in 11th house
  • Moon in 12th house.
  • Any aspects to the Moon or Mercury.
