  • Date: May 17@8:28 am(ET) @5:28 am(PT)
  • Moon Sign: Taurus: 
  • Moon Phase: 4th
  • Void-of-Course: May 19 @2:48 pm(ET) @11:48 am(PT) to moon into Gemini in the afternoon. Moon in Taurus v/c is one of the 4 “good signs”.
  • Opportunity Period: May 19 @11:27 am(ET) @8:27(PT) to 12:27pm(ET) 9:27am(PT). Cazimi Moon: “If you have something important to begin around now that’s part of a larger project started before April 15, this is s 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 19 New Moon, @11:53am(ET) @8:53am(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. 
  • Jupiter moved into the sign of Taurus on May 16th. This new moon may be focused on Taurus/Venus situations… there may be opportunity for growth in these area’s. 
  • The New Moon will affect everyone, but will have a stronger affect on those who have the following chart influences. 
  • Moon in Taurus
  • Jupiter in Taurus
  • Transit connections to the 2nd and or the 9th house. 
  • May 20: Mars Enters Leo:
  • Leo is ruled by the sun, Mars rules Aries. Leo is a fire/action sign, Mars is used to action as he is the God of War.
  • Leo isn’t afraid of taking risks, and Mars may encourage him…
  • Our energy levels may be higher, and we find that we use that to play hard, work hard and ourselves organized…
  • Make good use of this time, to get things sorted in your life, so that you can reduce stress levels, enabling you the time needed to relax and enjoy.

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 New Moon in Aries, Solar Eclipse, Sun into Taurus, April 2023

Present Moon Sign/Phase/House:

  • Date: April 17 2023 @ 9:09pm (ET) @ 6:09pm (PT) 
  • Moon Sign: Aries 
  • Moon Phase: 4th.
  • Void-off-Course: April 19 @ 9:13 pm (PT) April 20 @ 12:13 am (ET). Moon v/c in Aries is not one of the 4 “good signs” Make sure you get all the facts before making any commitments..
  • Opportunity Period: None

  • The New Moon occurs in last degrees of Aries on April 19th @9:13 pm (PT) and on April 20th @12:13 am (ET). The influence of the Aries moon will be stronger during this time. Take extra care when driving, and if you suffer from headaches you may need to stay away from whatever triggers them for a day or two.
  • We can be more impatient than usual, so try and stay away from folk and situations that “push your buttons”.  
  • If you have extra energy or feel restless during this New Moon, try doing something physical (exercise, walking, or playing a sport). Pent up energy is likely to come out negatively if coupled with impatience.
  • The new moon is traditionally the time to start new projects, new business and new relationships.. it’s a time to move into that “first place”, to enter into the work force for the 1st time, change jobs or job responsibilities.. however, it is suggested we wait a day or two until the moon has settled into her new cycle. 
  • The Moon will move into the sign of Taurus on April 19 @ 9:30 pm (PT) on April 20 @ 12:30 am (ET). As it is so close in timing to the New Moon/Solar Eclipse event, it is possible that the Fire of Aries may be slightly tamed by the earth of Taurus… slowing things down a little bit.

Note Quote: “Top Astrological event of the week: Thursday (April 20 2023) New Moon Solar Eclipse in Aries in square aspect with Pluto (in 0 degrees Aquarius): Rebel spirits will fight back against authoritarian control. Thanks to a loose sextile with Saturn, this is an excellent period to start building local structures and independent networks outside of the mainstream.” Michell Perrin-Llewellyn’s 2023 Daily Planetary Guide


What does it all mean?

  • Aries is action, he is the most masculine of the Zodiac signs, he is ruled by Mars (The God of War)
  • We may have more energy when the moon is in Aries
  • We are happy to defend our loved ones
  • We are apt to speak up, even those of us who consider ourselves to be “timid” can find our voice. 
  • May be a good time to get your message across, or to ask for what you need
  • Be careful when driving especially when upset or angry
  • We may be more susceptible to head injuries or head aches
  • We could be eager to start new projects
  • Be careful while engaging in physical activities, we may feel stronger or more “heroic” at the moment but our bodies might not be in the same “zone” 🙂 
  • We may be more decisive than usual, as always use caution 😎… 
  • Be careful about saying yes to everything right now, we might feel like we can handle more, but when the time comes we could be sorry we took on so much at once. 
  • Being healthy and feeling good so we can help others, or at the very least get our chores done, may be on the agenda for the next few days. .
  • Adults with a strong Mars or Aries influence may be acting more like children than adults. 😋
  • Some of us could be insensitive, or appear selfish to others.
  • The Moon in Aries will have a slight effect on all of us, but it will have more of an effect on those who have the following in their charts: Along with those who have a strong  Libra placement in their charts
    • Moon in Aries:
    • Sun in Aries:
    • Ascendant or Midheaven in Aries:
    • Mars in Aries:
    • Moon in the 1st:
    • Aspects to the Moon or Mars:

The Moon and Astrology: How it affects our daily life… Transiting Full Moon in Virgo May 2023

Present Moon Sign/Phase/House:

16341926-manga-style-illustration-of-zodiac-symbol-virgo[1]
http://www.123rf.com: Copyright : rudall30
  • Date: March 5 @10:38 pm (ET) @7:38 pm (PT)
  • Moon Sign: Virgo
  • Moon Phase: 2nd
  • Void-off-Course:  March 8th @9:07 am(ET) @6:07am (PT) to moon in Libra about 1/2 an hour later.  Virgo 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?

  • 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:

Purim begins at Sundown on March 6th: 

Full Moon in 16 degrees Virgo occurs on Tuesday March 7th @ 7:40am (ET) @ 4:40am (PT). The full moon is a good time to finish up projects, and to end anything that is no longer serving… Sometimes this may mean relationships come to an end or change… such as friends moving away, leaving a job or finishing school. We can utilize the full moon to symbolically remove things or people from our lives which prove to more challenging than productive. Simply, grab pen and paper and jot down what it is that you would like to change in your life.  find a heat proof container big enough to catch the ashes, (like a big ashtray or bowl) light a candle… read your list, you can read it out loud or to yourself… once read, and digested, (your heart is connected to that which you wish to change) light the paper and let it burn, the ash symbolically takes your words and wishes (in the smoke) into the Universe and forever away from you. 🙂 

Saturn, the planet of discipline and restrictions visits with the sign of Pisces, on March 7th, @8:35 am(ET) 5:35 am(PT). Mercury is also visiting the sign of Pisces).  We could experience some set backs and disappointments when it comes to our dreams. Be prepared to change your plans, and to accept the responsibilities that come with any new projects or jobs. Our reality may be slightly off kilter and we could come up against some people, places and situations that demand we face what is needed to be faced. We may feel better equipped in same life area’s to finally push forward and make important changes in our personal lives, this may come as we are “awakened” to what is really going on around us, or we may see a person show their true colors. Keeping our expectations to a reasonable level will help us navigate what may be some stormy waters for some of us. This celestial event will affect those with Pisces, Capricorn, Virgo, Cancer chart influences the most, although we will feel the subtle affects of this event.

Astrology, and how it affects our daily life: Transiting New Moon in Pisces: February 2023

Present Moon Sign/Phase/House:

12 Constellations ------- Pisces Stock Vector - 7615780

http://www.123rf.com: Copyright : Ka Ho Leung

  • Date: February 19 @11:56pm (ET) @8:56pm (PT) 
  • Moon Sign: Pisces
  • Moon Phase: 4th
  • Void-of-Course: February 21@ 11:06 pm (ET) 8:06 pm (PT) to Moon in Aries later that night (PT) Early Morning on the 22nd (ET) : Pisces is a fortunate sign for the Void off Course moon. 
  • Opportunity Period: None

What does it all mean?

  • Pisces is compassionate and caring but can be taken for granted
  • Sometimes Pisces isn’t about helping others but helping oneself. 
  • We can be more psychic during a Pisces moon, but we can also be easily deceived, so be sure of the “messages” received during this time.
  • Be careful if something sounds too good to be true, look for the hidden agenda
  • We can be susceptible to taking in stray animals and stray people now. 
  • Our hearts can be broken or melted during this time depending on who is telling us what and what may be revealed now. 
  • We can feel more spiritual with a Pisces moon, indicating this could be a good time to join a church or spiritual group
  • Keep an open mind when delving into new spiritual situations, ask questions and don’t believe everything you hear or see. 
  • We can be wistful, impressionable, nostalgic and dreamy now.
  • The moon in Pisces will have more effect on those who have the following in their charts: The Pisces moon will also have a lessor affect on those who have strong Virgo chart influences. 
  • Moon in Pisces:
  • Sun in Pisces
  • Moon in the 12th house
  • Aspects to the Moon or Neptune
  • Neptune in Pisces
  • Ascendant or Mid-Heaven in Pisces

NOTES:

February 19 @ 11:06 pm (PT) February 20 @ 2:06 am (ET). The new moon occurs in Pisces. We now have the Sun in Pisces, and the new moon in Pisces. The New Moon is said to be the best time to start anything new, this will be especially true for anyone with Pisces chart influences. We have a few days to begin our projects. This may be a good time time to begin a new job, relationship or to investigate a new study or career direction. Be aware of what you are told during this time, should you be entering into a contract or new relationship… Folks may be feeling more melancholy and therefor may promise more than they can produce. We may be more sensitive during this time, Pisces is water, and water is connected to our emotions.. like water our emotions can be as still as glass or as wavy as a trampoline… if you are dealing with emotional issues during this time, take care not to let your imagination run away with you… check your facts if you can before coming to conclusions. Things may not go exactly as one imagined, so be prepared to take a different view, change your mind or go in a different direction.

On February 19 @11:56 pm (PT) February 20 @2:06 am (ET). Venus moves into the sign of Aries. Aries is a little “uncomfortable” in Venus, he is all energy, assertion, full steam ahead action,  where as, Venus likes to take her time, she likes to stop and think about things, check out all the pretty things around her.. Venus rules Libra and Taurus, Libra is the opposite sign to Aries, which may give you an idea as to why these two get along but don’t always agree. We could be experiencing some frustrations or impatience, and our relationships may have a few bumps to go over, but on the flip side, we could also be feeling a little braver and up to trying something completely new or different. In our love life, we may be more spontaneous and in it for a fun time, rather than the long haul… If you a sensitive type entering into a new relationship, try not to go “head over heals” on the first date, as the other person may not be feeling the same vibe. Venus is connected to finances, Aries can either be a saver or a spender, enjoy if you have the funds, but watch the budget.
