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 artistic matters, meditation and helping others….
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.

House: 8th: House of Rejuvenation, crisis management, financial interests, sex, mergers.
Opportunity Period: None
Note: Mercury Turns Retrogradeon October 4th until October 25 2014: It’s best to stick to reviewing and editing… Projects begun during this Retrograde period may not work out as planned… Be prepared for set backs and doing things over again.
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.
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.
Finances may be in focus, indicating this could be the perfect time to review contracts and policies… Keep in mind Mercury is retrograde on Oct 4 to the 25..
We may find we are looking at our “worth” now, including the salary we get paid.
We are happy to work for our “keep”, knowing we are doing a good job.
Surgery or healing taking place now may have positive outcomes.
This moon sign will have more of an effect on those who have the following in their charts.
Date(s):(September 27 2014 enters it’s “storm” which acts like a retrograde) October 4 2014 to October 25 2014 with affects lasting to the 29th:
Sign(s): Scorpio: Libra
House(s): 5th house of Children, Entertainment, Creativity, Gambling and Playtime.
What does it all mean?
Mercury is the planet of communications, he is also a messenger and likes to do two things at once.
Retrograde motion means that from the earth 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 29th of October 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.
Children and pets may be in focus, and we may find we have to repeat ourselves a lot where they are concerned.
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
Write down any new creative ideas for future reference
