Copyright : Natalia Hubbert
  • Date: January 21 @ 1:29 pm (ET) @ 10:29 am (PT)
  • Moon Sign: Aquarius 
  • Moon Quarter: 4th moves into the first on the 22nd.
  • Void-of-Course: January 23 @5:19 am (ET) @2:19 am (PT) to moon into Pisces around lunch time (ET).   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 is ahead of his time, he is capable of thinking and “seeing” things in a different way then the rest of us. This makes the Aquarius moon phase and inventive one. 
  • Aquarius is ruled by Uranus,  the planet of  shock and chaos. His original ruler was Saturn, until Uranus was discovered. And like Uranus, Aquarius folks can surprise us sometimes, they can be rebellious and “cranky” or open minded and extremely helpful. 
  • We may feel more inclined towards kindness, especially on a “global” level or towards animals, the elderly and those worse off than us. Aquarius has a distinctly humanitarian streak. 
  • The time may be right to understand/learn about new technology, such as a new phone, tablet or t.v. coding or crypto.
  • We may be feeling more rebellious than usual, prompting us to try new things and/or meet new people. 
  • Be careful not to break tradition just because one feels like being 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 go as planned, so expect weird schedule’s and interrupted meetings…
  • Changes may be in the air…if you are o.k. with change, or you absolutely have to make changes, now could be an excellent time to go ahead with your plans.
  • Maybe a good time for inventions.
  • When the moon is in Aquarius she will have more of an effect on those who have the following in their charts. along with those with strong Leo placements in their charts. 
  • The next few days may be positive for the following: Joining a club, borrowing money, fixing cars, hair care (colors and chemical treatments), moving, painting, pouring cement, starting a new job or new construction. 
  • Moon in Aquarius
  • Sun in Aquarius
  • Uranus in Aquarius
  • Moon in the  11th house
  • Moon in Leo (to a lessor extent)
  • Ascendant or Mid-heaven in Aquarius
  • Any aspects to the Moon or the sun . 
  • Those who have a strong Leo or Aquarius chart influence.

NOTES:

January 20th.

  • Sun🟡  moves into Aquarius  ♒ (see previous post)

  • New Moon in Aquarius, 3:53 pm (ET) 12:53 pm (PT). When the moon is new, it is said to be a good time to begin new projects, jobs, relationships, anything that we have not had the pleasure of experiencing before. Because the new moon is in the sign of Aquarius this month, technology, transportation, humanitarian and creative projects may be on the agenda. We can bring new energy into our lives during a new moon. Do a New Moon meditation or write a list of the things, people, places and situations you would like to bring into your life this month, read it, believe it and then burn it and leave it all up to the Universe. 😊

The Moon and Astrology

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, during these times, 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… 

  • Cancer
  • Taurus
  • Sagittarius
  • Pisces…

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.

We are still here… :)

Hi Everyone; 😊

We hope that you have all enjoyed the holiday season… :) For some the season brings sadness, we understand this fully, having lost loved ones over the last 7 years, most recently we lost our beloved brother in law on November 27 2022. May next year be much better for all

However, we did have company this Christmas, such company, that filled our hearts with joy and gratitude… saying goodbye again, was an emotional challenge, especially as one good bye was today, January 6th, with a full moon in Cancer, Mercury retrograde in Capricorn, and opposition between the sun, moon and mercury. I can honestly say that the water element of Cancer, was flowing freely.

Due to the loss of our loved one occurring close to Christmas and the surprise visit from family, we haven’t had the time or the energy to post our usual planetary updates… we appreciate your patience and your support… and we fully expect to be posting our updates once again in the very near future…

FYI: Friday January 6th sees a full moon in Cancer occurring just after 6pm. Cancer is ruled by the moon, the moon is happy in this sign, however, as with all full moons, emotions can run high… if you feel like crying, there is nothing wrong with allowing yourself a good “cleansing”… Love and doing actions that show that love is what this full moon is all about… The Full Moon is said to be the best time for releasing, letting go of used up emotions, creating space from toxics relationships, ending bad habits, and the ending of situations that no longer serve you… Sometimes such endings occur without our “consent” we are forced into them, at other times, we are “directed” towards possible changes, or towards opportunities to end what is no longer working… in these instances, we need to be aware and awake.

Mercury is in retrograde motion, in the sign of Capricorn… Mercury rules over, transportation, communications and technology, he is the messenger… We can expect disruptions in these area’s when Mercury is in retrograde motion, during this time it is better to re-do then begin anew.. Expect to have to re do things. Career and work situations, frustrations, ending and change are most likely to affected during this mercury retrograde.

The Moon and Astrology: How it affects our daily life: Transiting Full Moon/Lunar Eclipse in Taurus November 2022:

Present Moon Sign/Phase/House:

  • Date:  November 7 2022 @12:am (ET). November 6 2022 @ 9:15 pm (PT)
  • Moon Sign: Taurus: 
  • Moon Phase: 2nd
  • Void-of-Course: November 9th @ 7:00 am (ET) @ 4:00 am (PT) to moon in Gemini on about an hour later: Moon in Taurus v/c is one of the 4 “good signs”
  • Opportunity Period: November 8 @ 2:52 pm (ET) @ 11:52 am (PT) to moon into Gemini on the 9th: “Interesting OP with lots of good possibilities that could be surprising. Stay flexible” PB

     What does it all mean?

  • Taurus needs emotional and material security, so we may find we are more interested in our financial affairs.
  • This may prove to be a good time to make investments for the future or to begin plans for the next financially responsible phase.
  • Those with strong fire signs (especially Aries) may get impatient with those who are slower at making up their minds, take care not to push too hard guys and gals, it won’t get things moving any faster if you are dealing with folks who have a strong Taurus inclination. 
  • Taurus has lots of patience, indicating this could be a good time to deal with people/projects/situations that take up more time than is liked.
  • Things that give us pleasure, such as comfort foods, wine, relaxing, good music and giving/receiving “loving’s” are all things we may enjoy right now
  • Some of us may be feeling more frugal than usual, preferring to save our funds instead of spend them.
  • 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… 🙂
  • 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..
  • This moon may be positive for: Advertising for sale of personal belongings, beauty treatments, buying clothes, buying a home, getting a hair cut to encourage thickness, moving, painting, pouring cement, starting a new job, savings account or training a pet.
  • This moon sign will have more of an effect on those who have the following in their charts.
    • Moon in Taurus,
    • Sun in Taurus,
    • Venus in Taurus
    • Moon in the 2nd house (house of finances)
    • Any aspects to the Moon
    • Ascendant or Mid-heaven in Taurus
  • Those with strong Libra/Venus placements (Venus rules Taurus and Libra) in their charts may also be effected, and to a lessor extent those with strong Scorpio/Pluto chart placements.

  • NOTES:

    Full Moon/Lunar Eclipse, November 8th @ 6:02 am (ET) @ 3:02 am (PT).

  • The Full Moon, is said to be a good time to finish up anything that needs to be finished up… Even those projects that you began during one of the energetic new moon phases, can be finally put to rest.. 😊
  • During an Eclipse, the moon sign’s influence will be stronger, emotionally we will be led by Taurus’s’ needs. . Embrace your emotions during this time, for some of you that may mean an end to a relationship, “the end” isn’t restricted to physical relationships, such as our personal, work and play ones… it can also represent the relationship we have with ourselves. For some people, the Full Moon/Lunar Eclipse can bring illumination regarding an idea or a solution to an ongoing issue, to others, we can feel a little bit fuzzy, and perhaps slightly overwhelmed. It is easy to lose our tempers, it is easier to lose patience keep this in mind when dealing with others. The Influence of a Lunar Eclipse can last up to 6 months
  • The Full moon also represents completion, indicating that this isn’t the best time to begin anything new, it’s not impossible, however, keep in mind that you may be facing more challenges than you had previously thought. 😏
  • This Full Moon falls in the Sign of Taurus,  Taurus is one of the Earth signs, she is feminine and fixed, her main concerns are her comfort and security. We may be focused on our comforts during this time, feeling safe and secure in our surroundings, and were our finances are concerned will all become more important over the few days.
  • It’s a good time to slow down, no need to hurry, instead, take time out to enjoy the good things in life, especially those that pertain to the physical senses… 😊Take care not to over indulge with the comfort foods and red wine… 😉
  • This isn’t the best time for change, we may resist it, even if in the long run it is in our best interest… use the virtue of patience that is such a huge part of Taurus, and wait for about a week before jumping into anything new. If you are forced into change, and there is nothing you can do, hugs are sent, along with the suggestion to repeat.. “God grant me the Serenity to change the things that I can, to accept the things I cannot, and the wisdom to know the difference Reinhold Niebuhr

Full Moon ritual:

  • Get a piece of paper and pen or pencil
  • Write down on what it is, that you desire to be completed
  • If you have a desire to change your way of life in some way, such as becoming more healthy, finding a new job, picking up a new hobby, thus resulting in the “ending” of your current ways..(doing nothing, stuck in a rut, miserable about what you are lacking) write down those changes too…
  • Read the words you have written, let them sink into your being…
  • Take a fire proof dish, away from flammable products, light a candle or make a tiny fire..
  • When ready, take your piece of paper, read it again and ask the Universe, Spirit, God, Goddess, whomever you “follow” to accept your words and help you realize them. (Don’t forget to say “thank you”)
  • Put the paper to flame or place in the fire and burn the paper…
  • You have now set your intentions for the month, and in this case with an eclipse, you have created a ripple affect that will last up to 6 months. 
  • Take care what you “wish” for

The Full Moon/Lunar Eclipse, will affect everyone to an extent, those with Taurus or Scorpio influences, especially those with 16 degree chart locations, will feel the effects the most.

The NEW MOON in Scorpio

October 25 @6:49am (ET) @3:49am (PT)

  • The new moon is traditionally the best time for beginnings and the influences listed above will be stronger under a new moon… especially for those who have Scorpio or Taurus chart placings… 
  • When the moon renews herself in the sign of Scorpio, it may be wise for us to “be careful what we wish for” We are more passionate now and our emotions can get sometimes get the best of us.
  • Scorpio, has a connection to the “mysteries of the other world” She is intrigued by it… She will research it and sometimes embrace it…
  • Scorpio is ruled by Pluto and connected to the 8th house. Her ancient ruler was Mars. 
  • Scorpio is intense, everything she does she must feel “connected” to… This means that our emotions during this new moon will also be intense… Be sure that what you are feeling is real and not enhanced by the Scorpio moon..
  • If you have an idea or project you want to get off of the ground, the better day to begin would be on the 26th when the moon has moved into her first quarter. 

NOTES: 

  • A partial Solar Eclipse will occur on the 25th in 2 degrees Scorpio. Any Eclipse will enhance the traits of the sign it occurs in. Scorpio is a passionate, secretive and sometimes jealous sign.

The Moon and Astrology: How it affects our daily life…Transiting Moon in Aries: Pluto goes Direct: Full Moon: October 2022

Present Moon Sign/Phase/House:

We apologize to those of you, who may have received this post twice, Mercury may have gone direct, but he seems to still be “playing” ;) 

Zodiac sign - Aries Stock Photo - 44449990

  • Date: October 8th @11:57am (ET) @8:57am (PT)
  • Moon Sign: Aries 
  • Moon Phase: 2nd
  • Void-off-Course: October 10 @10:02 am(ET) @7:02am (PT) to moon into Taurus later in the afternoon.  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

What does it all mean?

  • Aries is action, he is the most masculine of the Zodiac signs as he is ruled by the planet Mars
  • We should have slightly more get up and go when the moon is in Aries
  • We are happy to defend our loved ones
  • We are apt to speak up more, even those of us who consider themselves to be “timid” can find the voice they need right now. 
  • 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 projects now, The moon is still rather full, and has not begun her waning period in earnest, it is probably better to work on projects recently begun, than to begin a brand new one right now. 
  • Be careful about 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 … 
  • Adults with a strong Mars or Aries influence may be acting more like children than adults. Take care not to rush into things, make rash decisions or quick judgements
  • Some of us could be more insensitive or appear more selfish to others.
  • If you aren’t looking to enlarge your family right now, take care, Aries has a lot of sexual energy to utilize… ;)
  • 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:
    • Mars in Aries:
    • Moon in Libra 
    • Sun in Libra 
    • Aspects to the Moon or Mars:
    • Ascendant or Mid-heaven in Aries

  • Note: Pluto, the planet of death, sex, rejuvenation, destruction and what HAS to happen, turns direct on October 8th @5:56 pm (ET) @2:56 pm (PT). When a planet turns direct, it is still a little bit “wobbly”, meaning, that it doesn’t come fully back online until a few days have passed. When a planet is in retrograde motion, it usually means that as a species, we have the opportunity to look back, redirect our energy, fix some things, while letting other things go completely. It can also mean that in the area’s related to the planet may be slightly more fuzzy than we are used to. It can be challenging to see things clearly, or to accept some of the changes that are happening to us, our loved ones and to the environment around us. As Pluto turns direct again, it will be easier to see what must be done, what we must come to terms with, and the changes that we must accept in order for us to move on.
  • NOTE 2: October 9th, Sunday, sees our Lady become full in the sign of Aries, @4:55pm (ET) @1:55pm(PT). When the moon is full, it is said to be the best time to finish up projects, relationships, jobs, anything that can no longer “serve” us and which, we can no longer “serve”. With the energy of Aries, with his fire and “bravery” it can be a good time to move away from people and situations that have seem to drain our energy instead of compliment it. We can find that place within us, that prompts us to say NO, that prompts us to stand up for what we believe in. This wonderful energy, is also handy if we need to be getting something physical finished up, such as a DIY project, although Aries is not the best at completing projects, with a full moon at his back, it may be the push he needs… Happy High Energy Full Moon Everyone.
