  • Astrological Event: Mars moves into Aries
  • Date:  January 28 2017 (ET) January 27 (PT)
  • Time: 12:39 am (ET) 9:39 pm (PT)

 

What does it mean?

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.

  • Aries is ruled by Mars and is connected to the 1st house in the zodiac wheel
  • Aries is primarily concerned with the self and loved ones.
  • Aries can be heroic and may act on impulse.
  • Aries is the opposite sign to Libra, Libra is ruled by Venus
  • When Mars visits Aries, he feels comfortable, indicting that for the most part it should be a positive “get together”
  • Take care not to over react or react too quickly regarding situations you don’t fully understand. Impulsive actions now, may result in corrections having to be made later on.
  • Some Folks can become quite passionate under this influence, sex may be on the agenda… especially between Aries & Libra …. who are quite compatible even though they are opposites.
  •  Be careful while driving, and take care when using sharp tools… rushing around won’t get you there any faster if you take an eye out on the way….
  • Headaches and head injuries may be on the “rise” under this influence
  • If you have any important decisions to make now… take time out to review all your options… ask someone to go over the paperwork first … or just take time to out to breath before jumping on the band wagon… :)
  • This could be a good time to speak up for yourself, to put your best foot forward and solider on even though you may feel a little unsure….
  • These with strong Aries or Mars chart influences will be more “involved” during this astrological visit… those with strong Venus and Libra chat placings may also be “included” in the visit… :)

Transiting Moon in Gemini January 2017

Present Moon Sign/Phase/House:

Zodiac sign Gemini on a background of the starry sky with the scheme of stars in the constellation, vector illustration Stock Vector - 37150664
http://www.123rf.com: Copyright : Nataliia Vzhyshnevska
  • Date: January 8 2017
  • Moon Sign: Gemini:
  • Moon Phase: 2nd
  • Void-of-Course: January 10
  • House(s) 8th & 9th house of, death, tax’s, insurance issues, shared money matters: higher learning and travel, new experiences, publishing, advertising politics, religion and philosophy.
  • Opportunity Period: January 10 early morning to late afternoon. Good for business dealings.

What does it all mean?

  • Gemini is an air sign and needs lots of stimuli. She is ruled by Mercury. Mercury turns direct on January 8th but will still be in his “storm” until January 14…. remain vigilant until then, as plans can still go in the opposite direction you were intending.
  • The house connected to Gemini is the 3rd house of: day-to-day travel/affairs and siblings… we could find ourselves busy with multiple things going on, even if they are just in our own minds… ;) Dealings with family, especially siblings, are likely. Memories are shared and possible solutions to old problems can be found. However, wait until after the Mercury Retrograde before putting any new ideas or plans into motion. 
  • We may find we are trying to do multiple things at once, which may not go exactly as we may have planned. If you do find you have tons of ideas spinning around in your head, take pen to paper and jot them down… it will ease the “inside chatter” and you may find some of them useful later on. 
  • Could be lots of chit chatting going on, and some of us may have to make a concerted effort to listen instead of chat.
  • Caution is advised when doing up letters, emails and relaying messages, as much as we may think we have it right, it’s better to check one more time
  • In the 8th house: It could mean a trip to the lawyer, Insurance agent or bank manager for some folks… it’s also a good time to review our money situation, especially after the holiday season… talk things over with your other half and get a budget in the works… with a Gemini moon there shouldn’t be any worries about coming up with logical solutions.
  • In the 9th house: A Busy time for some folks, plans could be in the making for travel
  • A new study could be on the cards for some of us.. and it will likely be approached with enthusiasm. 
  • If it’s possible to go on vacation now, grab the chance, you might learn more than you could have ever imagined… :) 
  • It’s a good time to get those lists and notes made up… we can feel good about putting pen to paper now.
  • Boredom may be at our door step and we may feel more restless than usual. 
  • This moon sign will have more of an effect on those who have the following in their charts.
        • Sun in Gemini
        • Sun in Virgo
        • Moon in Gemini
        • Moon in the 3rd house
        • Moon in Sagittarius
        • Moon in the 9th house
        • Any aspects to the Moon, Mercury or Jupiter

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-of-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 of 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 of Course…. However there are 4 signs in the zodiac which may prove positive during the Void-of-Course moon…  

Good for Void-Of-Course Moon: These v/c signs may prove to be quite productive times.

  • Cancer
  • Taurus
  • Sagittarius
  • Pisces…

Opportunity Periods  (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.

Astrology Notes: Mercury goes Retrograde December 19 2016 to January 8 2017:

        • 3D render depicting the Greek God Mercury, messenger of the gods, the god of trade, merchants and travel Stock Photo - 17170371
        • Astrological Event: Mercury goes Retrograde
          Date: December 19 2016:
        • Time Line: He enters his storm December 15 2016, Goes Retrograde on December 19 until January 8: He will be back in his “storm” January 14: It’s best to keep all new projects on hold from ***December 15 2016 to after January 14 2017*** if possible.
        • If you do need to start on new projects, relationships, jobs, career’s, writings etc… keep in my that it’s very likely nothing will turn out the way you may be expecting… This doesn’t mean things won’t work out … (eventually). However, it does mean more patience is needed to see results or to get things moving… 
  • 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 December 15 2016 Write down any new creative ideas for future reference,note the time and re visit the list after January 14 2017.
