What Does This All Mean:?

  • Mercury is the planet of communications and how we think. Mercury is also known as the messenger
  • Libra is the sign of balance, fairness, beauty, money and diplomacy
  • The 2nd house relates to: Finance and Material Security
  • We may tend to be more charming in our conversations
  • Subjects/Issues/Actions we may be drawn to include: Justice, Fairness, Fashion Shows, Shopping for the home or self. 
  • Even though Libra is an intellectual sign, when she is visiting with Mercury she might not be as quick on the uptake as she would like to be. Indicating for the next little while, some of us may not be learning as well as we could. 
  • Concentration skills may be lower than normal
  • Making quick decisions could send some of us into a tizzy.. :)
  • Conversations and communications might be polite for the most part, unless it’s about  fairness or justice, heated, passionate debates could be afoot. 
  • It is easier to be nice to others, or at least use good manners while in public
  • May be a good time for diplomatic dealings and negotiations. 
  • Focus may be on finances, indicating this may be good time to look at our investments, mortgages, budget and debt load and make changes accordingly. 
  • Be aware of your budget, it may be a good time for finances but it may also be very tempting to spend money easily. 
  • Striking a happy balance between being generous and being stingy is recommended. 
  • Mercury in Libra may have more of an impact in the daily lives of those who have the following: 
  1. Mercury in Libra:
  2. Sun in Libra: Mercury in the 3rd house:
  3. Mercury in the 2nd house:
  4. Mercury in the 7th house:
  5. Aspects between Mercury and the Sun or the Moon.

The Moon and Astrology: How it affects our daily life… Moon in Virgo… 08/25/2014 to 08/27/2014

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. 

Thanks to Jim Shawvan present day astrologer, William Lilly 17th century astrologer and Llewellyn’s Daily Planetary Guide for opportunity periods.

  • Date: Monday August 25 2014  to Wednesday August 27 2014. *August 25 is also the date of the new moon. The traits of the sign will be stronger. 
  • Moon Sign: Virgo at approx 6:33 am (EDT) 5:33 am (ET) 2:33 am (PT)
  • Moon Phase: 4th quarter, waning (decreasing in light). Moves into the 1st Quarter, waxing (increasing in light) Tuesday August 26 2014.
  • Void-off-Course: Yes: August 26 2014 @ approx 11:29 pm (EDT): 10:29 pm (ET): 7:29 pm (PT). Until 6:54 pm (EDT): 5:54 pm ET: 2:54 pm (PT): Virgo Moon v/c is not one of the 4 “good signs”
  • House: 11th: House of  Teams, Groups, Friends and Causes
  • 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. 
  • Mercury, the planet of communications and mental abilities is also in Virgo. Virgo is very happy in Mercury as he is her ruler. With both the moon and mercury in Virgo, it might be a good time to attend to legal or business dealings.. A better understanding of health issues and better communication with your health care provider may be possible now. 
  • Mercury is in Virgo until 09/01/2014
  • This moon sign will have more of an effect on those who have the following in their charts.
  • Moon in Virgo, Sun in Virgo, Moon in 6th house, Moon in 11th house, Virgo in Mercury. Any aspects to the Moon or Mercury.

  • Date: Friday August 22 2014  to Monday August 25 2014. *August 25 is also the date of the new moon. The traits of the sign will be stronger. 
  • Moon Sign: Leo at approx 5:49 pm (EDT) 4:49 pm (ET) 1:49 pm (PT)
  • Moon Phase: 4th quarter, waning (decreasing in light)
  • Void-off-Course: Yes: August 24 2014 @ approx 5:26 am (EDT): 4:26 am (ET): 1:26 am (PT). Leo Moon v/c is not one of the 4 “good signs”
  • House: 11th: House of  Teams, Groups, Friends and Causes
  • Opportunity Period: None

What does it all mean?

  • The Leo Moon Loves Drama, so be warned… 
  • The Leo Moon loves to noticed and recognized, so be prepared to “pump up” your loved ones and if you happened to have a Leo influence in yourself, be aware of how you may be going about getting recognized or appreciated… If you play your cards right this could be a positive time when you get to be where you need to be.
  • Try not to be overly “vain” and be prepared for drama at any-time from any direction
  • Try not to over react and if it’s not you doing the over reacting, try not to get caught up in the drama, or to encourage the over reactor
  • It’s a good time to check out the local talent, take in a down town show, get starry-eyed with your lover, or perhaps look for a new one, as romance is high on the priority ladder during this time. 
  • Watch out for the Void-off-Course Moon on Sunday, :) more of the light-hearted fun stuff and less of the “duty bound seriousness” is recommended. 
  • Might prove positive for hair cuts, make overs. 

Moon in Cancer… :)

Present Moon Sign/Phase/House: 

  • Date: Wednesday August 20 2014  to Thursday August 21 2014.
  • Moon Sign:  Cancer: zodiac sign cancer (The Crab) Stock Photo - 8399361
  • Moon Phase: 4th quarter, waning (decreasing in light)
  • Void-off-Course: Yes: August 21 2014 @ approx 4:34 pm (EDT): 3:34 pm (ET): 12:34 pm (PT). Cancer is one of the four signs in which the v/c is a good thing. 
  • House: 11th: House of  Teams, Groups, Friends and Causes
  • Opportunity Period: Yes: August 21 2014 @ approx 1:55 pm (EDT) 12:55 pm (ET) 9:55 am (PT). Until 5:49 pm (EDT) 4:49 pm (ET) 1:49 pm (PT)

What does it all mean:

  •  Cancer is ruled by the moon so for those of us who have Cancer as a “personal” planet or angle we may be inclined to be slightly more emotional. 
  • Domestic duties may call to us, it’s best to enjoy this time around the home. It’s great for organizing, sitting back and checking out the progress so far, and figuring out the next plan for our home. 
  • Group and team activities may involve or revolve around family, or there may be a sense of family unification regarding such events. 
  • Water signs, Cancer, Pisces and Scorpio may be more sensitive, and may “imagine slights” that aren’t there or weren’t meant. 
  • Some of us may feel more nurturing… babies, puppies and kittens may seem irresistible… 
  • The last quarter moon is the perfect time wrap things up and get ready for the next new moon stage… we can find ourselves busy during this time tending to all the loose ends. 
  • While the v/c moon in this opportune period is good because of the moon going void-off-course in the sign of Cancer, we are in the last quarter moon, which traditionally is good for “endings” or “finishing up” clearing the plate for the next new project… it is suggested then, that caution still be used when signing important papers or initiating new business dealings or general projects.

The Sun Moves into Virgo August 23 2014:

Virgo: Earth: Feminine: Mutable:

Sign of the Zodiac, depicted in the form of jewelry. Stock Photo - 8673487

The qualities of Virgo encourage her to be steady and sensible yet flexible when the need arises…

Virgo sees detail everywhere, all those little things that are so incredibly important the smooth running of a home or a business, Virgo is onto them… However, because she craves perfection she can be overly critical not only of others but of herself too… this can push Virgo’s to work harder and longer then some of the other signs, but may also create upset as nothing may seem good enough… 

Happy to help and assist others, Virgo people are happiest when they feel needed and are kept busy, they have a fabulous down to earth, logical outlook on life and can put things in perspective for others… Great at trouble shooting..

Virgo’s love to keep lists and they need organization somewhere in their life to help them feel balanced.

Personal hygiene may be important along with an interest in health.

Virgo’s are advised to watch for a tendency to worry, especially over health issues, or for a tendency to make mountains out of mole hills. 

Many Virgo’s can be found working in the health field. 

Happy Birthday to Dayle, Cal, Dezi and to David and Beanie who are Virgo/Libra cusps… ☺
