Folk with personal Sagittarius in thier charts may feel the urge to break free from the norm
Try not to restrict the movements of Sagittarius folk, especially when it comes to close personal relationships..
All will be affected by this influence in some form or another… but the folks who have the following in their charts will feel the “Venus effect” stronger:
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 is not 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 (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.

Void-off-Course: December 29 @ 12:38 pm (ET) 9:38 am (PT) to 1:58 pm (ET) 10:58 am (PT). Leo Moon v/c is not one of the 4 “good signs”
House(s): 10th house of Career and public image
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.
Might prove positive for hair cuts, make overs.
In the 10th house: Practical matters do well under this moon, organize and plan and get down to business, but don’t be too serious about everything.. Property matters can also do well under this influence.
This moon period will affect everyone, but more so those who have the following in their charts: And those who have a strong Capricorn or Aquarius placement in their charts.
Influence will affect us all but will have a stronger pull on those with personal Aquarius in their charts and perhaps to lessor degree those with a strong Leo influence.
As this planet (of shock and change) gains speed, some of us may find we need to express ourselves, as we realize we can make changes to our world and that we don’t have to be the “victim”… Some of us may feel restless, with a desire to shake things up, perhaps even be a little rebellious.. Other’s may feel it’s time to take risks and chances, which may have quite the pull on those with a Leo influence or more than one sign in the 5th house.. As always, take care when involving yourself in risk taking. It’s time to listen to our own instincts, perhaps acting on them, instead of waiting for permission to do so or allowing ourselves to be pulled along the path of another..
Astrological “Event” Uranus Retrograde
Date: July 26 to December 26 2015
Time: 6:38 am (ET) 3:38 (PT)
House (equal): 7th Relationships
Sign: Aries
While this astrological “event” will have a slight effect on all of us, it will have a stronger and longer lasting effect on those who have the following in their charts:
Sun in Aquarius
Uranus in Aquarius
Ascendant in Aquarius
Mid-heaven in Aquarius
Uranus in 7th or 11th house
Sun in Libra (lesser effect)
Sun in Leo (lesser effect)
Any aspects to Uranus
What does it all mean?
Uranus is the planet of shock, change and rebellion. He rules Aquarius.
Retrograde, Uranus “appears” to be going backwards from the earth’s perspective. A good time to re-do, re-invent re-assess.
Relationships will be in focus over the next few months, all of them.
Finding out which relationships work and which don’t is going to be the assignment. It may be a challenging time for those in bad or negative relationships as they begin to recognize they are in such relationships.
A shake up is needed in all and any area’s of life that are not satisfying, uplifting or positive. This “shake up” may begin slowly and pick up momentum as the months go by. Making way for action once Uranus turns direct again.
While this may be a somewhat unsettling time for some, it is wise to take heed of the need for change, and use this time to make ready for that change.
Getting our emotions sorted is the key to understanding what we need to do next. This can be done by re-assessing our future plans and taking a good long look at what we want and where we are heading.
Take time to seek out trusted folk who are ready to listen and who give unbiased sound advice.
Be cautious of other’s who, once they are aware of unsettling circumstances, may try to take advantage and direct you towards avenue’s only fit for their own personal agenda’s.
Where your morals and ethics are concerned stay true to yourself, as you invite much needed change into your life
In essence this could be a Shake up and somewhat challenging period for many of us… don’t be shy, “change is as good as a rest” …

Void-of-Course: December 22 @ 9:26 am (ET) 6:26 am (PT) to 9:31 pm (ET) 6:31 pm(PT): Moon in Taurus v/c is one of the 4 “good signs”
House(s): 7th: 7th house of relationships/partnerships.
Opportunity Period: December 20 @ 7:13 pm (ET) 4:13 pm (PT) to December 22 9:31 pm (ET) 6:31 pm (PT)
What does it all mean?
Taurus needs emotional and material security, so we may find we are more interested in our financial affairs.
This may prove to be a good time to make investments for the future or to begin plans for the next financially responsible phase.
Taurus has lots of patience, indicating this could be a good time to deal with people/projects/situations that take up more time than is liked.
Things that give us pleasure, such as comfort foods, wine, relaxing, good music and giving/receiving “loving’s” are all things we may enjoy right now
Some of us may be feeling more frugal than usual, preferring to save our funds instead of spend it.
Take your time when the moon is in this sign, there is no need to hurry, and you probably won’t get very far if you do… so sit back and enjoy the ride… :)
In the 7th house: Taurus is ruled by Venus, who also rules Libra, Libra is connected to the 7th house.. Those with a strong Venus influence in their charts could find that thier most important relationships are in focus for the next few days… For others, this could be a great time to renew a relationship or partnership… a new relationship may have a chance under this influence, however, don’t expect things to move along quickly.. ;)
Keep your temper under check if you can, Taurus is very, very patient and it takes a lot to make her angry, but watch out once she has had enough, she will certainly let you know..
This moon sign will have more of an effect on those who have the following in their charts. Those with strong Libra placements in their charts will also be effected.

Moon Sign: Sagittarius at 5:25 pm (ET) 2:25 pm (PT)
Moon Phase: 4th
Void-off-Course: December 11 @ 11:06 am (ET) 8:06 am (PT) to December 12 @ 1:46 am (ET) December 11 @ 10:46 pm (PT): Moon v/c in Sagittarius is one of the 4 void off course “good signs” (see above).
The New Moon begins on December 11th
House(s): 2nd: 2nd house of financial and material security.
Opportunity Period: None
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 2nd house, focus is likely our finances, some of us may even get luck in this area… for others, they may be more generous than they should be… Because this house also relates to our material security, we may also be looking at buying a house or moving to a foreign land..
While this moon will have a slight effect on all of us… those with the following in their charts will feel it stronger as will those who have a strong Gemini or Cancer placement in their charts.
The New Moon is on December 11thin the sign of Sagittarius. Traditionally, when the moon renews herself it is a sign for us to begin something new.. Projects and sometimes relationships including partnerships can have a positive outcome if they are put into “action” under a New Moon… However, the best results occur when the beginning is begun when the moon is in her 1st phase. As the moon becomes new this month she does so while still in the 4th phase… it is best then to wait until the 12th of December to begin anything new.. as this is when she will be fully into the 1st phase… she will have the influence of Sagittarius and Capricorn as the moon moves into Capricorn on late on the 11th for those in the pacific time zone and early on the 12th for those in the eastern time zone.
A new moon in Sagittarius/Capricorn will have the traits listed above for Sagittarius, but they will be intensified or stronger… Please see our next post for the traits of the moon in Capricorn.
If you are the traveling type, beginning your new journey on udner a new moon (or 1st phase) can have a postive out come. As Sagittarius loves to travel and explore and learn new things… so beginning a class under this new moon can also go well… For the Capricorn influence, getting down to business and being focused on the goal at hand, whether it is leanring a new skill for fun or work can also go well under this new moon.
