  • Moon Sign: Sagittarius
  • Moon Phase: 2nd

  • Sun into Cancer: June 20 
  • Summer Solstice: June 20
  • Litha: June 20

What does it all mean?

    • Sagittarius is the most “easy-going” of the fire signs and is ruled by Jupiter “the lucky planet”
    • Sagittarius folks have a reputation for “blunt speak”, some of us may be emboldened to speak up, and out, now. 
    • We are going to want our personal freedom now, so take care partners who have a possessive or jealous tendencies, they might not be tolerated for the next couple of days. 
    • Because Sagittarius is ruled by Jupiter “the lucky planet” we may be feeling luckier then usual…  take care not to go over the budget… :) (Jupiter changes signs on the 28th). 
    • 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 placement in their charts. 
    • Moon in Sagittarius
    • Jupiter in Sagittarius
    • Moon in the 9th house
    • Ascendant in Sagittarius
    • Mid-heaven in Sagittarius
    • Sun in Sagittarius
    • Aspects to the Moon and Jupiter.

  • NOTES:
  • June 20 @4:51pm (ET) @1:51pm (PT) The Sun transits into the sign of Cancer: Cancer is ruled by the moon and is connected to the 4th house. Emotionally sensitive, nurturing and caring… Cancer folks enjoy cooking for the people that they care about… 
  • June 20 is Summer Solstice, the longest day of the year… enjoy the celebrations and the extra daylight… 
  • June 20 LITHA: “Litha is one of Wicca’s eight sabbats during the year and occurs on the summer solstice, the longest day of the year. It celebrates the beginning of summer and celebrates nature’s growing fertility.” Google Search
  • June 21 @ 9:08pm (ET) @6:08pm (PT). Full Moon in Capricorn… please see our “moon in Capricorn” post of June 20 (6 pm)… all moon in Capricorn traits will be “bigger”… :)

Happy Birthday Cancer Folks, we wish each of you a wonderful born day, and a year ahead filled with good health and happiness.


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/unfocused” … We may not be sure how we are really 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, all is not lost 😎as there are 4 signs in the zodiac which may prove positive during the Void-of-Course moon… 

  • 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.

  • Date: June 5 2024
  • Moon Sign: Gemini:
  • Moon Phase: 4th
  • Void-of-Course: June 7 @8:16 am(ET) @5:16am (PT) to moon in Cancer a short time later
  • 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 
    • 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. 
    • 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.

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.
