  • Date: January 11 @11:24pm (ET) @8:24pm (PT)
  • Moon Sign: Cancer
  • Moon Phase: 2nd
  • Void-of-Course: January 13 @11:46pm (ET) @8:46pm (PT) to moon into Leo on the 14th
  • Opportunity Period: January 13th just before the void of course moon, until the moon moves into the sign of Leo

What does it all mean?

  • The moon is happy in the sign of Cancer because she rules here. Being sympathetic towards the worries of others is easier, we are more empathetic now. 
  • We can be more nurturing when there is a cancer moon
  • Domestic chores and responsibilities may be easier to do now, in fact some of us may be very happy making our home comfortable and safe
  • Cooking may be fun to do now,  so go ahead and try out that new recipe
  • The more emotionally sensitive of us, may take offense or feel slighted or more vulnerable during the Cancer moon… Caution is advised though, check your facts before you “accuse”. 
  • Some of us may feel needy, while others of us are happy to be the cuddler, helping our loved ones feel secure and in deed needed. Caution is advised that some of us can go over board on the needy thing during this moon period, so be careful if you don’t want to “scare” someone off… 
  • This may be a good time to learn new things, especially those that relate to the domestic front or family. Take up a cooking class, or try new recipes, decorate the home or enjoy craft projects with the kids. This may also be a good time to do some tidy up and mini reno’s on the house.  
  • This may be a positive time for: Beauty treatments, Brewing beer, Buying antiques, Buying for speculation, Can foods, Collect on debts, Hair cut (for growth) and plant bulbs from seeds.
  • This moon sign will have more of an effect on those who have the following in their charts. 
  • Moon in Cancer: (these folk may really feel the influence of the moon, emotions may be close to the surface)
  • Sun in Cancer:
  • Moon in the 4th house
  • Aspects to the Moon.
  • To a lessor extent, those who have personal planets in Capricorn.

The Full Moon occurs on Monday January 13th @5:27 pm(ET) @2:27pm(PT)) in the sign of Cancer. The influence of the Cancer moon will be strong and may cause some of us to feel off kilter emotionally… If you are feeling overly restless or emotional, take care of how you react as it is very easy to over react during this time. The full moon is traditionally thought of, as a time to finish up tasks and for things to come to a conclusion. If you have important papers to sign or significant events to attend/organize take care of the small print and don’t make decisions based on emotional responses… ;) check the facts…

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  (thanks to astrologer Paula Belluomini)

The Moon and Astrology; How it affects our daily life; Transiting FULL MOON in Gemini December 2024

 Present Moon Sign/Phase/House:

  • Gemini-16Date: December 13 @ 12:22pm (ET) @9:22am (PT)
  • Moon Sign: Gemini:
  • Moon Phase: 2nd
  • Void-of-Course: December 15 @9:32 am(ET) @6:32 am(PT) to moon into Cancer later in the afternoon
  • Opportunity Period: None

What does it all mean?

  • Gemini is an air sign and needs lots of stimuli. She is ruled by Mercury.
  •  We could find ourselves busy with multiple things going on, even if they are just in our own minds… ;) Dealings with family, especially siblings and neighbours are likely. 
  • We may find we are trying to do multiple things at once, which may not go exactly as 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. 
  • We may have to make a concerted effort to listen instead of chat. :)
  • Caution is advised when writing up letters, emails and relaying messages, as much as we may think we have it right, it’s better to check one more time 
  • It’s a good time to get those lists and notes made up… 
  • 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, 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
        • Mercury in Gemini
        • Ascendant in Gemini
        • Midheaven in Gemini
        • Any aspects to the Sun, Moon, Mercury 
        • Those who have a strong Sagittarius influence in their chart

NOTES:

FULL MOON: Sunday, December 15 @4:02am (ET) @1:02am (PT)

  • The Full Moon is traditionally a positive time to let go of situations, jobs, career’s, relationships and material possessions, basically anything that is no longer working for us.
  • This is a time of completion and of endings…
  • All the traits of a Gemini Moon will be amplified by the Full Moon position…

Happy Full Moon in Gemini :)

Sunday, December 15th @ 3:56pm (ET) @ 12:56pm (PT) Mercury, the planet that rules Gemini, turns direct… However, he isn’t fully feeling like his old self just yet, as he is still in “storm”… He will be full steam ahead on Friday December 20th.

Mercury, rules such things as communication, transportation and technology, if you have been experiencing some glitches in these area’s, hold tight, things will be getting better over the next few days…

The Moon and Astrology: How it affects our daily life… Transiting New Moon in Virgo September 2024

Present Moon Sign/Phase/House

  • Date: September 1 @ 11:48pm (ET) @ 8:48pm (PT)
  • Moon Sign: Virgo
  • Moon Quarter: 4th moves into the 1st on the 3rd
  • Void-of-Course: September 4th @12:06 pm(ET) @9:06 am(PT) to Moon in Libra later that afternoon.  Virgo Moon v/c is not one of the 4 “good signs”
  • 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 needs things to be “correct” or “perfect”. Try to give yourself and others a break over the next couple of days. If you are an employer, be prepared that tasks may not get completed exactly they way you had expected.
  • These next few days may be good for: Breaking bad habits: Fixing cars: 
  • 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 strong Pisces placement in their charts.. 

NOTES

  • September 1 Uranus goes retrograde: Uranus is the planet of shock and chaos… He rules the sign of Aquarius. When a planet goes retrograde, things can get a little muddled up, it’s possible that the “power” of Uranus will be muted somewhat under the Retrograde motion… However, because Uranus is unpredictable, the retrograde motion may cause some unexpected upsets. 
  • September 2 NEW MOON in Virgo @9:56 pm (ET) @6:56 pm(PT). A new moon is  good time to begin new projects, relationships, jobs, career’s moving to a better place…etc.. an auspicious time for back to school, University or College… Good Luck Everyone…  😊
  • Labour Day in Canada and the USA

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

The Moon and Astrology: How it affects our daily life…Transiting Full Moon in Capricorn…June 2024

Present Moon Sign/Phase/House:

Zodiac signs - Capricorn Stock Vector - 40977557
http://www.123rf.com: Copyright : Natalia Hubbert
  • Date: June 21 @9:08pm (ET) @6:08pm (PT) 
  • Moon Sign: Capricorn 
  • Moon Phase: 2nd
  • Void-of-Course: June 23 @11:05pm (ET) @8:05pm (PT) to moon into Aquarius a few minutes later. Capricorn Moon v/c is not one of the 4 “good signs” Try not to make any important decisions or commitments now. 
  • Opportunity Period: None
  • Full Moon June 21

What does it all mean?

  • Capricorn is business, duty and discipline. She is ruled by Saturn, the planet of restrictions. 
  • We may be more motivated in our career or work direction 
  • Dealings with the elderly may be in focus. 
  • Dealings with “authority” types, such as teachers, principles, supervisor’s may be in focus. 
  • 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. 
  • Good time to watch, listen and learn
  • We may find we are looking at our “worth” now, including the salary we get paid. 
  • Our public image may be very important to some folks for the next few day, especially if dealing in work or career situations.  
  • This is a “Father” influence, paternal parental situations may be in focus. 
  •  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
  • Sun in Capricorn
  • Saturn in Capricorn
  • Ascendant in Capricorn
  • Midheaven in Capricorn
  • Any aspects to the Moon or Saturn

NOTES: 35568229-country-cottage-in-full-moon-starry-night-landscapeFULL MOON in Capricorn June 21 @9:08pm (ET) @6:08pm (PT). The Full Moon energy will strengthen all that is listed above. As the Moon becomes full, it can be seen as a culmination of a months worth of work/play and knowledge seeking. For creative projects it can signify the completion of such projects.. Projects, situations that aren’t coming to a close now, may experience a bit of a pause, a time to adjust tweak and reflect. Traditionally, it is thought that the full moon energy is not the best energy to begin something new under. Capricorn can be work/career orientated, sometimes to the extent of other relationships being “put on hold”… As the Full Moon represents closure or endings, it may be possible to put an end to situations that are no longer fulfilling… such situations may include, career direction, work preferences, or the changing/ending of relationships, especially those connected to work/career. 

NOTES: 2: Retrograde_Neptune[1]  The Sun moved into the sign of Cancer ♋on Thursday June 20th. Cancer is one of the most nurturing signs of the zodiac and one of the most sensitive… Cancer folks, try not to be too helpful towards your loved ones, sometimes it can get a little overwhelming for them,💙 … Loved ones of Cancer folks, be patient with them, harshness isn’t something they blossom on… 😊Cancer is ruled by the moon, (emotions) she is water (sensitive) connected to the 4th house of domestic bliss and family…When upset or confused, Cancer, like her sign depiction the crab, may become hermit like, trying to escape from the harshness of reality, in these instances all she needs is a big hug and some understanding…  She is the opposite sign to Capricorn, once the full moon energy in Capricorn has passed, Cappies, might encounter a few challenges… patience, empathy and compassion are good guidelines for this month.
