  • Date: August 25 @11:04pm (ET) @8:04pm (PT) 
  • Moon Sign: Gemini:
  • Moon Phase: 3rd moves into the 4th on the 26th
  • Void-of-Course: August 28 @3:14am (ET) @12:14am (PT) 
  • Opportunity Period: None:

What does it all mean?

  • Gemini is an air sign and needs lots of stimuli. She is ruled by Mercury. 
  • Gemini is connected to the 3rd house of: day-to-day travel/affairs and siblings…
  • Dealings with family, especially siblings, may happen. Memories are shared and possible solutions to old problems can be found. 
  • We could find ourselves busy with multiple things going on, even if they are just in our own minds… 
  • “Tip”: If you do  have tons of ideas spinning around in your head,  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, 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: Mercury has just gone retrograde (April 21), extra caution is advised when corresponding with others. 
  • A new study could be on the cards for some of us.. and it will likely be approached with enthusiasm. 
  • 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
        • Moon in Gemini
        • Moon in the 3rd house
        • Moon or Sun in Sagittarius
        • Any aspects to the Moon or Jupiter

NOTES:

  • Monday, August 26th: The moon is showing only one aspect, a square to the Sun in Virgo. Squares can make things awkward, but they do help us to make necessary changes, sometimes, we need a push and Squares can help us to make the changes we keep putting off. 
  • Tuesday August 27th: Venus has one aspect, a trine to Uranus in Taurus, Trines are helpful and harmonious, bringing in co-operation and compromise. The Moon experiences 6 aspects throughout the day: Squares to Saturn in Pisces and Venus in Virgo. Conjunctions to Jupiter in Gemini and Mars in Gemini. Conjunctions can be either helpful or a hinderance: Sextiles to Mercury in Leo and Chiron in Aries.  Sextiles are also “friendly” aspects, but can make it easier for us to remain in a “rut”, being comfortable isn’t always the best, sometimes we need to be motivated. 
  • Wednesday August 28th: Mercury turns direct, but remains in it’s storm (moving slowly) until September 3rd… Communications, technology and transportation issues may start to become resolved, but not everything will fall into place at once. Continue to double check all communications, and don’t be surprised by glitches re: technology/transportation. The moon experiences two squares, one to Venus in Capricorn and one to Neptune in Pisces. The moon moves into the sign of Cancer on Wednesday at 4;47am (ET) @ 1:47am (PT)

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  

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.

The Moon and Astrology: How it affects our daily life…Transiting Full Moon in Aquarius.. August 2024

 Present Moon Sign/Phase/House:

Zodiac signs - Aquarius Stock Vector - 40977554
http://www.123rf.com: Copyright : Natalia Hubbert
  • Date: August 17 @5:45 pm (ET) @2:45 pm(PT) 
  • Moon Sign: Aquarius 
  • Moon Phase: 2nd 
  • Void-of-Course: August 19 @2:26pm (ET) @11:26am (PT) to moon into Pisces later in the evening:  Aquarius Moon v/c is not one of the 4 “good signs” Try not to make any important decisions or commitments now. 
  • Opportunity Period: NONE

What does it all mean?

  • Aquarius can be ahead of their time, and capable of thinking and “seeing” things in a different way then the rest of us. 
  • Aquarius may appear to be “flaky”, but don’t be fooled, these folks are very capable… with an almost magically ability to learn anything. 
  • Aquarius is ruled by Uranus,  the planet of  shock and chaos.
  • We may feel may inclined towards kindness, especially on a “global” level or towards animals, and those worse off. Which may mean it’s easier for some to be targeted by those nasty humans, who prefer to rip off little old ladies, instead of making an living. Be aware, especially as this months’ moon in Aquarius will be a Super Full Moon… 
  • For Some folks, the next few days may be advantageous when it comes to understanding or learning about new technology. (NOTE: Mercury is still in retrograde motion, expect glitches and odd occurrences re: technology, communication and travel)
  • This moon period can bring out the rebel in us, prompting us to try new things and or meet new people. 
  • Be careful not to break tradition just because one feels like being different as some may see such behaviour as one trying to be difficult, losing the concept of different.  Teenagers may feel the need to express themselves, so parents be for warned. 
  • Personal freedom and individuality is very important now. Partner’s try not to restrict each other’s movements. Parent’s it might be a tight line you walk now. Employer’s give your “worker’s” a little “slack”. 
  • Being organized might not be as easy now, so expect weird schedule’s and interrupted meetings… (The Mercury retrograde, will make such things even more apparent). 
  • Changes may be in the air… Do we resist or do we Comply? As always it depends on the subject or the situation…
  • Could be a good time for inventions… Perhaps keeping them to paper until Mercury has turned direct ;) would be a good idea. 
  • This months Aquarius moon may be good for:  Borrowing money: Moving: Painting: Pouring cement: Purchasing big appliances: and starting diets.  
  • This moon sign will have more of an effect on those who have the following in their charts. And those with strong Leo placing in their charts. 
  • Moon in Aquarius
  • Sun in Aquarius
  • Uranus in Aquarius
  • Moon in the 11th house
  • Ascendant or Mid-heaven in Aquarius
  • Any aspects to the Moon.
  • **NOTE: Full Moon is on Monday August 19th @2:26pm (ET) @11:26am (PT) 
Full Moon ☺
  • A Full Moon in Aquarius will emphasize all the traits of an Aquarius moon…
  • The full moon can represent endings, closure or completions for some of us… And while endings can be painful, the “newness” they present can be euphoric…you just gotta “weather the storm”:)
  • Because Aquarius is attached to the 11th house of Friends, Hobbies, teams and sometimes the community via doing good deeds… The endings/completions during this month’s full moon, may be related to such activities or people.
  • Aquarius can be responsible for inventions and brilliant ideas, and so for some, this month’s full moon may mean the completion of any such fantastic and novel ideas… 
  • This months Full Moon is described as a SUPER MOON.

We did a quick google search regarding “what is a SUPER MOON?” Here are 2 examples of what popped up right away… Very interesting about the “Sturgeon Moon”,

Any Algonquin people’s in our SGC family, if so we would love to hear your comments on this.. 👇😊

“August’s full moon is often referred to as the sturgeon moon, dubbed by Algonquin tribes who lived in what is known as the northeastern U.S. today. The name refers to the large fish that were more easily caught around this time of year in the Great Lakes and other bodies of water.”
Astrologers, did you know the that the phrase “Supermoon” was coined by an astrologer? 
When the moon’s orbit brings it closer to Earth than usual, this cosmic combo is called a supermoon. A supermoon occurs when the moon’s orbit is closest to Earth at the same time the moon is full. The term was coined by astrologer Richard Nolle in 1979

Present Moon Sign/Phase/House:

Scorpio zodiac sign Stock Vector - 45500359
http://www.123rf.com: Copyright : kisslilly
  • Date: June 16 @ 11:38 pm (PT) June 17 @ 2:38 am (ET)
  • Moon Sign: Scorpio
  • Moon Phase: 2nc
  • Void-off-Course: June 19 @12:19 pm(ET) @ 9:19 am(PT) to moon into Sagittarius shortly afterwards.  
  • Opportunity Period: None

What does it all mean?  

  • Scorpio is intense and one of the most “sensitive” of the zodiac signs
  • The moon relates to our emotions and how we react to situations and people
  • We can immerse ourselves in our projects now.
  • Watch for becoming obsessed with someone or something…. not everyone falls for someone at the same time and patience may be needed regarding sensitive relationship matters
  • Be sure that your partner, friend, lover, co-worker or school friend is really trying to upset your personal apple cart before making waves
  • Some of us may be highly creative, while others may connect with their psychic side… 
  • Secrets may be told now… we can be enticed to open up to others about our deepest feelings/fantasy’s…Take care with whom you share your secrets if you don’t want them “displayed” at a later date. Some folks may keep your information until it suits them to use it without your consent.
  • While we will all be effected slightly by the Scorpio moon, she will have a greater effect on those who have the following in their charts.. and those who have a strong Aries or Taurus placement in their charts. 
    • Moon in Scorpio
    • Sun in Scorpio
    • Ascendant in Scorpio
    • Mid-heaven in Scorpio
    • Moon in 8th house
    • Mid-heaven in Scorpio
    • Those who have a strong Taurus chart influence. 
  • NOTES:
  •  June 16th: Venus visits with Cancer♋ until mid July: Venus watches over money and relationships, Cancer is family orientated and emotionally sensitive, with a strong connection to the past. We may be feeling more affectionate during this time, making our loved ones feel safe and comfy…cooking comfort meals or baking yummy cakes, pies and cookies is just one way we can show our loved ones just how much we care about them…Romance may be on the agenda for some of us… Cupid is about with her little arrows..💖  Feeling safe and secure with our loved ones is paramount now. Those who have strong Venus (Libra/Taurus) or Cancer chart placings may feel this celestial connection more than others. 
  • June 16th: Fathers Day… Happy Day to you all…😊
  • June 17th: Mercury visits with Cancer♋ until August 1: Mercury watches over communications, transportation and technology… We may be attracted to information regarding the deeper side of life, not so much the fluff and frills and gossip, but what actually affects us on a more personal level. Our concerns may shift from the worries of the world, bringing focus back to the self and our immediate loved ones. Take care during this time, as we can be more emotionally sensitive, making it more difficult for us to be objective.

  • Opportunity Period: None
  • New Moon: June 6th @8:38 am (ET) @ 5:38 am (PT).

What does it all mean?

    • Gemini is an air sign and needs lots of stimuli. She is ruled by Mercury.
    • 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… ;)  
    • 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

    • Boredom may be at our door step and we may feel more restless than usual. 
    • The next few days may be positive for: buying a vehicle, entertaining guests, hair cut (for less growth), joining a club, sending mail, and mowing the lawn to retard growth. 
    • This moon sign will have more of an effect on those who have the following in their charts.
          • Sun in Gemini
          • Moon in Gemini
          • Moon in the 3rd house (equal)
          • Mercury in Gemini
          • Ascendant in Gemini
          • Midheaven in Gemini
          • Any aspects to the Sun, Moon, Mercury or Pluto
          • Those who have a strong Sagittarius influence in their chart

New Moon 

Appears in Gemini on June 6th

All of the above influences will be intensified.

Traditionally, the new moon is the best time to begin anything new… wait until the moon moves into the 1st phase on the 7th if you can… :). 

Gemini is a dual sign, the Sun is also in Gemini now… it may be more challenging to know what project to begin first…However, if we can resist the urge to begin more than one thing at a time, we can be more successful at getting something accomplished.  

Notes: Mercury entered the sign of Gemini on Monday, June 3rd. This is a very comfortable position for Mercury, as Gemini is one the signs that he rules.  

Our ability, or need to chatter will be highlighted for the next few weeks… Some of us could find ourselves busier with our community, neighbours or siblings… Take advantage of this time to communicate your needs, getting your point across in a gentle, yet firm manner. 

Mercury also rules technology and transportation, perhaps this is a good time to purchase a new, new/used vehicle and or technological devices… Alternatively, some of us may experience a few “hic-ups” in those area’s.. “Activate” your communication abilities if you do have to deal with mechanics or technicians, you might surprise yourself as to how easily you are able to communicate your concerns. 

Mercury will remain in Gemini until the middle of the month.
