  • Date: May 6 @5:42 pm(ET) @2:42 pm(PT)
  • Moon Sign: Taurus: 
  • Moon Phase: 4th
  • 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.

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 Scorpio April 2024

Present Moon Sign/Phase/House:

Scorpio is a water sign People of this sign are the creative personalities, emotional and impulsive Stock Photo - 20479497
http://www.123rf.com: Copyright : helein
  • Date: April 23 @11:20 am(ET) @8:20 am(PT)
  • Moon Sign: Scorpio 
  • Moon Phase: 2nd moves into the 3rd on the 24th
  • Void-off-Course: May 16 @ 5:28 am(ET) @ 2:28 am(PT) April 25 @7:17pm (ET) @ 4:17pm (PT)to Moon into Sagittarius a few hours later
  • Opportunity Period: April 2 @7:55am(ET) @4:55am(PT) to void of course moon. “Take advantage of Mercury stationing direct during this OP to plan and chart a new path” PB

 

 

The Full Moon occurs on April 23 @7:49pm (ET) @4:49pm (PT)

When the moon is Full, it can be the best time to put the finishing touches on projects, end relationships, leave jobs, or “end” anything that is no longer in our best interests.  :).

Some of us may feel more emotional during this month’s full moon as she brings in the watery sensitivity of Scorpio….

Watch out for feelings of jealousy/envy, or being overly blunt to the point of hurting others. Secrets can come out, or be shared with others, so take care who you share your information with. Some of us may feel more intense about a subject, situation, or person, and some of us may feel we need our space… Take care with the handling of all emotional situations, Check the facts before passing judgements. 

Psychic abilities are likely stronger, and some of us may experience vivid dreams. 

The Full moon will enhance this moon sign’s influence.

 

What does it all mean?

  • Scorpio is very intense and probably the most sensitive of the zodiac signs
  • The moon relates to our emotions, indicating we could be feeling everything more deeply for the next couple of days
  • 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
  • We could be encouraged or directed towards taking risks or doing things we wouldn’t normally do, especially those of a group or team nature. 
  • Some of us may be highly creative right now, while others get connected to their psychic side… 
  • Secrets may be told now… we can be enticed to open up to others about our deepest feelings/fantasy’s…
  • 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.. 
    • Moon in Scorpio
    • Sun in Scorpio
    • Moon in the 8th house
    • Aspects to the Moon or Pluto
    • Personal planets in Taurus

NOTES:

April 20: Major Conjunction, Jupiter/Uranus in Taurus:

  • Jupiter = Expansion/Luck:
  • Uranus = Shock/Chaos/Change:
  • Taurus = Material and financial security/ownership.

Jupiter and Uranus are outer planets, and the influence is felt on a generational/global level more than a personal one… However, we shall all feel the affects at some point along the way and those with strong Jupiter (Sagittarius, 9th house) Uranus (Aquarius, 11th house) Taurus, 2nd house, and perhaps Scorpio chart influences are likely to feel the affects more…

This is not an influence of which we see changes immediately, it is a slow moving aspect (14 years) and like the sign of Taurus, stead fast and true. Perhaps, we can hold out hope that good changes will be on the way for us all. As an event chart” the conjunction begins in the 6th house of health, work, hygiene and service… in my personal chart, this transitional conjunction will affect my 11th house of teamwork, kindred spirits, causes and social situations.. 

  • April 22: Earth Day
  • April 22: Passover begins at Sundown
  • April 23: Full Moon in Scorpio
  • April 25: Mercury Stations Direct, still in storm, situations that have been stymied, may begin to see some traction, but patience is still needed, as there are still bumps ahead until Mercury goes Direct at the beginning of May.

The Moon and Astrology: How it affects our daily life… Transiting FULL Moon in Libra: Lunar Eclipse…March 2024

Present Moon Sign/Phase/House:

September - October are the months of the zodiac sign of the balance  Libra is Space attribute of justice, balance and equilibrium  Air, artistic, emotional representatives of this sign  Stock Photo - 20428907
http://www.123rf.com: Copyright : helein
  • Date: April 24 2024 @4:37 pm(ET) @1:37 pm(PT) 
  • Moon Sign: Libra 
  • Moon Phase: 2nd: 
  • Full Moon/Lunar Eclipse is March 25 
  • Void-off-Course: March 26 @7:09pm (ET) @ 4:09pm (PT) to moon into Scorpio on the 27th.  Moon v/c in Libra is not one of the 4 void off course  “good signs”
  • Opportunity Period: None

What does it all mean?

  • Libra has a need for balance, indicating this moon period may be an ideal time to implement some balance into our daily lives. 
  • A desire for justice may be present, dealing with issues that have upset our sense of justice may prove to be productive. 
  • Diplomacy is likely to be more apparent during the next few days, and may be a good time to bring up that topic you have been putting on the back burner. 
  • Hesitation is probably going to raise its head, we may see many sides of a story and find it difficult to make up our minds. 
  • Difficulty in making commitments or long-term decisions, because we can’t make up our minds. If this is the case perhaps wait a few days until the moon has moved out of Libra. 
  • Libra is happiest when in a relationship or partnership. 
  • Libra can be tactful, diplomatic and co-operative. Yet when she visits with the 1st house she may appear to be selfish or less than sensitive to the needs/feelings of others.
  • The moon is in the 2nd quarter, dealing with things already set in motion. 
  • This moon sign will affect us all but will have more of an effect on those who have the following in their charts.
    • Moon in Libra,
    • Sun in Libra,
    • Venus in Libra
    • Venus in Aries
    • Moon in 7th house,

Focus is likely to be on relationships, making our surroundings beautiful. We may have to watch the budget as we are prompted to shop for the home, or visit places of beauty and inspiration. Traditionally the full moon relates to endings, things coming to fruition and or completion. Because Libra deals in relationships, and the full moon deals with the endings of cycles, it’s possible that some relationships will end under this full moon. This includes all types of relationships, and even if the change may be difficult to accept, it is likely that it will be for the best in the long ran. The Lunar eclipse enhances the “power” of the full moon. 

Lunar Eclipse April 4 2015:

When an eclipse happens it strengthens the influences, and will impact the house(s) involved on a deeper or longer lasting level. It is important that those who’s lives are affected more than usual during the Lunar Full Moon Eclipse take care when making commitments or decisions, keeping in mind the actions taken now may be have a lasting effect for the next 12 months. As the transiting moon is in Libra during this Lunar Eclipse, relationship issues and long-term decisions relating to such will likely be in focus.
