The Moon and Astrology: How it affects our daily life… Transiting Moon in Pisces… January 2015

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.

Oh where would the world be without the wonderful Aquarian? With their inventive minds and capacity for personal freedom and change, they assist with the evolution of the human species. 

You guys and gals catch on very quickly to the things you need to know, and while you can be a bit unconventional, unpredictable and some may say unreliable, it’s a different story when you get passionate about something or decide to sink your teeth into a project, watch out peeps, cos you won’t be able to change his/her mind and she/he will plow on ahead with focus and determination until the task is done or something else tickles the fancy…. ☺

The sun moves into the sign of Aquarius on January 20 2015 4:43 am (ET) 1:43 am (PT)

  • Date: January 18 2015 to January 20 2015
  • Moon Sign: Capricorn 7:04 am (ET) 4:04 am (PT)
  • Moon Phase: 4th quarter.
  • Void-off-Course: Yes: 5;51 am (ET) 3:51 (PT) January 19 to 7:59 am (ET) 4:59 am (PT) January 20. 
  • House: 3rd: House of day-to-day affairs, communications and siblings
  • Opportunity Period: None

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. However hold off on making changes right now due to the Mercury Retrograde, which is in it’s “Storm” until the 21 when it turns Retrograde… Projects begun while Mercury is in “storm” or retrograde usually don’t work out the way one planned. 
  • 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
  • Future goals will be at the top of the list, so be prepared for extra hours spent at work. 
  • Domestic issues may have to take a “back seat” for a few days.
  • We could run into old school friends, or set up a reunion with siblings and old friends. 
  • Our day to day chores, trips to the gym, school, meetings, and time spent on the road may be in focus. 
  • We are happy to work for our “keep”, knowing we are doing a good job. 
  • This moon sign will have more of an effect on those who have the following in their charts.
    • Moon in Capricorn
    • Sun in Capricorn
    • Saturn in Capricorn
    • Moon in 10th house
    • Moon in the 3rd house
    • Any aspects to the Moon or Saturn.

Astrology Notes: Mercury goes Retrograde January 21 to February 11 2015:

  • 3D render depicting the Greek God Mercury, messenger of the gods, the god of trade, merchants and travel  Stock Photo - 17170371
    http://www.123rf.com: Copyright : Linda Bucklin
  • Astrological “Event”: Mercury goes Retrograde 
  • Date(s) January 21 to February 11 2015: 
  • Time Line: He enters his storm January 17 2015 and will be back in his “storm” until February 19 2015: It’s best to keep all new projects on hold from ***January 17 until after February 19*** if possible. 

What does it all mean? 

  • Mercury is the planet of communications, he is also a messenger and likes to do two things at once. He rules Gemini and Virgo. 
  • Retrograde motion means that from the earth’s perspective it appears that the planet Mercury is going backwards. 
  • Our communications and organizational skills may not be up to par during this time. 
  • Messages can get misinterpreted or misplaced. 
  • We can miss appointments during this period, so check your date book frequently and place all scheduled appointments in your date book or phone in a place you will see them often. 
  • It’s not a good time to begin anything until after the 11th of February if it’s at all possible. Projects begun now are not likely to go as planned.
  • Be prepared to redo things. 
  • It’s the perfect time to review, redecorate, renew…. However, it’s advisable that we all check and double-check the fine print before signing on the dotted line.
  • Stick to the hobbies already begun. 
  • Don’t be disappointed if things don’t go exactly as planned regarding our “down time”. 
  • Take extra care when sending out invitations to an event, make sure you have the date, time and place correct… or else you may find you have to get them printed all over again. 
  • Be Prepared have more than one thing on the go at once, however, take care not to add more to your agenda then you can comfortably do, else run the risk of mixing up your “homework” or dates. 
  • Relationships might have to be re-assessed
  • Beginning January 17 2015 Write down any new creative ideas for future reference,note the time and re visit the list after February 11 2015.
