May 20 @ 8:59 am(ET) @5:59am (PT): The Sun moved into the sign of Gemini
Gemini is ruled by the planet Mercury, she is an air sign who is connected to the 3rd house of siblings and day to day affairs.
Gemini can be chatty, some may even have the gift of the gab… Mercury, is the planet of communication, among other things
Gemini can be superficial, attracted to the trend of the day…
Gemini can make a fabulous friend to hang out with, always up to trying the newest thing…
Gemini is very capable of multi-tasking, she is one of the dual signs of the zodiac, and many Gemini folks will have more then one of making a living…
On the whole our Gemini counterparts are fun, friendly and good to have around…
Happy Birthday to all who celebrate this sign… we wish you a fabulous year ahead
May 23 @4:30 pm(ET) @1:30pm (PT) Transiting Venus moves into the sign of Gemini:
Venus rules Libra and Taurus.
Venus is connected to Money, Beauty and all things nice…
Venus can be a spender (Libra) or a saver (Taurus)
Venus likes to have things running smoothly, especially when it comes to relationships and material security
Gemini is flexible, and likes to indulge in the trends of the day, we could see some of us spending our money on such things, as long as the budget allows it’s all good… 😊
We can be more sociable during this time, chatting is the name of the game, throw in a bit of fun and it’s a GO…
Even though we are more apt to be social now, we can also be a little emotionally distant, likely because it’s not about being into deep conversations about life right now, it’s more about keeping things light and fun…
Void-of-Course: May 25 @10:47am (ET) @7:47am (PT) to moon into Capricorn a short time later.
Opportunity Period: None
**Full Moon May 23 @9:53 am(ET) @6:53 am(PT)**
What does it all mean?
Sagittarius is the most “easy-going” of the fire signs and is ruled by Jupiter “the lucky planet”
Some of us may be feeling luckier then usual… caution is advised 😉
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.
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 chart placing
Moon in Sagittarius
Jupiter in Sagittarius
Moon in the 9th house
Sun in Sagittarius
Aspects to the Moon and Jupiter.
When the transiting moon becomes full while in the sign of Sagittarius:
All of the above characteristics of a Sagittarius moon will be highlighted when the moon is full.
Take advantage of the good feeling that comes with this full moon, get out and about with friends, enjoy some laughter and fun times.
Get out into nature, enjoy the outdoors and appreciate the sheer beauty of it all.
Try something new, pick up a book on something you have always been curious about. Take a class, join in a group discussion.
Plan or take a trip and treat it like a fabulous adventure.
Having fun and enjoying lots of laughter is the key to this full moon, watch out for excess though as it easy to blur the lines at this time.
The Full Moon is traditionally thought of as the best time to finish up projects already on the go… If projects need to be started under a full, this also includes, career’s, jobs and relationships.. don’t be alarmed if things don’t seem to be moving ahead as fast as you would like… perhaps, all is not as it seems..

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… when this occurs, we may feel “foggy” or “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-off-Course moon…
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: May 18 @ 5:09 am(ET) @2:09 am (PT) to moon into Libra. Moon v/c is not one of the 4 “good signs” Try not to make any important decisions or commitments now.
Opportunity Period:
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.
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 needs things to be “correct” or “perfect”. If you are an employer, be prepared that tasks may not get completed exactly the way you had expected, be gentle and patient. 😊
The Moon in Virgo can be good for the following activities:
Break Habits (Better if in the moon is in the 3rd or 4th quarter):
Canning foods (Better if in the moon is in the 3rd or 4th quarter):
Fixing Cars:
Hair cut for less growth (Better if in the moon is in the 3rd or 4th quarter):
Mowing the lawn to retard growth (Better if in the moon is in the 3rd or 4th quarter):
Sending Mail:
Starting a diet (Better if in the moon is in the 3rd or 4th quarter):
This moon sign will have more of an effect on those who have the following in their charts.
Moon in Virgo
Sun in Virgo
Ascendant in Virgo
Mid-heaven in Virgo
Moon in 6th house
Any aspects to the Moon or Mercury.
And those who have a strong Pisces placement in their charts..
NOTES:
May 15 @1:05 pm (ET) @10:05 am (PT): Mercury moves into the sign of Taurus. ♉
Mercury is the planet of Communication, Transportation and Technology. Mercury rules Gemini and Virgo.
Taurus is ruled by Venus, and is connected to the 2nd house of material and emotional security.
Our thinking and communications may be focused on our material security, this may include, where we are living, or where we plan to be living in the near future. Our job, career or vocation direction and how that will provide a secure future will also be a subject at the dinner table. It may be a good time to have discussions regarding finances, getting personal budgets under control, and figuring out ways to “tighten the belt”.
Taurus, will take her time in figuring out the best path forward, indicating that patience may be needed when it comes to getting answers regarding anything to do with finances.
Got a Question, send it along to us, we will try our best to source out an answer for you…

Void-of-Course: May 8 @ 5:55 pm(ET) @ 2:55 pm(PT) to moon into Gemini in the evening. Moon in Taurus v/c is one of the 4 “good signs”.
Opportunity Period: May 7 @11:27 am(ET) @8:27(PT) to 10:02 pm(ET) 7:02 pm(PT). Cazimi Moon: “If you have something important to begin around now, this is a great time to do it” P.B.
What does it all mean?
Taurus needs emotional and material security, so we may find we are more interested in our financial affairs, and we may need to feel secure in our home and work environments.
This may prove to be a good time to make investments for the future or to begin plans for the next financially responsible phase.
Some of us may be feeling more frugal than usual, preferring to save our funds instead of spend them.
Taurus has lots of patience, making this an opportune time time to deal with people/projects/situations that take up more time than we would like.
Things that give us pleasure, such as comfort foods, wine, relaxing, good music and giving/receiving are all things we may enjoy right now. It’s a FEEL GOOD moon sign. 😊
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..
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… :)
This moon sign will have more of an effect on those who have the following in their charts. Those with strong Scorpio placements in their charts will also be effected.
Moon in Taurus,
Sun in Taurus,
Venus in Taurus
Sun in Scorpio
Moon in Scorpio
Any aspects to the Moon, Venus.
Ascendant or Mid-heaven in Taurus
Notes:
May 7 New Moon, @11:22 pm(ET) @ 8:22 pm(PT). In the sign of Taurus.
The New Moon is the perfect time to begin new projects.
Taurus is ruled by Venus, and one of Venus’s main concerns are relationships, Taurus’s main concerns are material and personal security. This may be a good time to begin new personal relationships. Connections with financial experts may be present, positive and workable relationships.

Void-of-Course: April 30 @11:19am (ET) @8:19am (PT) to moon into Aquarius a minute later. Capricorn Moon v/c is not one of the 4 “good signs”
Opportunity Period: April 29 @11:45 am (ET) @ 8:45 am (PT) to moon void of course. “Very positive OP ideal for constructive and innovative projects, but Mercury is slow and the Moon is waning, so it is preferable to focus on work started before late March”(if possible) PB
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.
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
This moon sign will have more of an effect on those who have the following in their charts. And those who have a strong Cancer placing in their charts.
Moon in Capricorn
Moon in Cancer (to a lessor degree)
Sun in Capricorn
Saturn in Capricorn
Moon in 10th house
Ascendant or Midheaven in Capricorn
NOTES:
April 29 @ 7:31 am(ET) @ 4:31 am (PT) Venus enters Taurus. Venus rules Taurus so she is very comfortable with this visit. Focus is likely to be on material and financial security, which may include a concentrated effort in securing ones own home or property, along with a serious look at the financial side of things. While spending is always on the agenda when Venus is in town, it won’t be surprising to see most folks becoming more selective on what and where they spend.
Mercury went stationary direct on April 25th… Situations will remain a little delayed, and communications can still become muddled until the Beg of May.

The Moon Void-off-Course:

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…
