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 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…  

  • 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.

Present Moon Sign/Phase/House:

  • Date: November 2 @10:19pm (PT)
  •             November 3 @ 1:19 am (ET)
  • Moon Sign: Sagittarius
  • Moon Phase: 1st
  • Void-off-Course: November 5 @5:23am (ET) @2:23am (PT) to moon into Capricorn about 5 hours later: Moon v/c in Sagittarius is one of the 4 void of course  “good signs” 
  • Opportunity Period: None

What does it all mean?

    • Sagittarius is the most “easy-going” of the fire signs and is ruled by Jupiter “the lucky planet”
    • We are going to want our personal freedom now, so take care partners who have possessive or jealous tendencies, they might not be tolerated for the next couple of days. 
    • Because Sagittarius is ruled by “the lucky planet” we may be feeling luckier then usual…  take care not to go over the budget… :) 
    • 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:

  • Transiting Jupiter is currently in retrograde motion in the sign of Gemini. Because this connection isn’t the best, Jupiter’s lucky nature may be subdued slightly, and Gemini’s usual quick thinking may be slightly slower. 
  • Friday November 1st:
  • New Moon in the Sign of Scorpio @8:47 am (ET) @5:47 am(PT). The New Moon is a good time to begin anything new… wait until you can see the crescent in the sky, to make your intentions… Start writing, join a class, check out the local art, maybe join a sports team.. anything is possible… Take care, and think any new venture through, Scorpio is intense, and her energy demands attention, so what ever it is that you begin now, be prepared to put your back into it..  😊
  • Friday November 1st:
  • All Saints (All Souls) Day. Day of the Dead in Mexico... We honor those who have passed before us… ♥
  • Saturday November 2nd:
  • Mercury moves into the sign of Sagittarius @ 3:18 pm (ET) @ 12:18pm (PT).. Mercury rules over communication, he is connected to technology and transportation… Sagittarius is quick witted, blunt and ready for adventure…. There could be some fun days ahead…. Take care with words, as it is easy to speak our minds during this time.. (I will have to personally make a concerted effort to watch my words🤨) 😊 It will be interesting to observe social media and all the hype re: the US election, Sagittarius is a fire sign, (action) and she advocates for freedom.. Mercury = Communication (thought/speech) 
  • Sunday November 3rd:
  • Mars enters the sign of Leo @ 11:10pm (ET) @8:10pm (PT).Mars is the planet of war/warriors, he is the most masculine of all the planet’s… Leo is a fixed, Masculine, Fire sign… Things could get busy in same area’s, finger’s crossed, workable solutions are found in the name of PEACE. Those who have Leo or Aries chart influence’s may find themselves feeling emboldened to act on something, or find that they are feeling more confident… If opportunity is knocking at your door, you are likely to feel brave enough this time around to open that door and walk through it…  😊 The negative of this connection is lack of patience.. Fire signs are action orientated, they aren’t known for being sensitive when feeling impatient or on the grumpy side… Take care how you respond to other’s, and try not to take loved ones for granted.. 
  • Sunday November 3rd: Daylight Saving Time Ends: Remember to put your clocks back one hour at bedtime.. ⏰

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

  • Be careful about saying yes to everything, we might feel like we can handle more, but when the time comes we could be sorry we took on so much at once. 
  • Adults with a strong Mars or Aries influence, may be acting more like children than adults. 
  • Some of us could be more insensitive, or appear more selfish to others.

  • This Full moon is a “Super Moon” and is also called the “Hunter’s Moon”.
  • Aries is fire and action, patience isn’t his strong point… the full moon will expand the traits of Aries…
  • Take extra care when driving… watch the “temper point” too, this could be a rather exciting or active Full Moon… if we can just pull back on the “knee jerk” emotional responses we can come through this full better then when we entered it… 😊

The Moon and Astrology: How it affects our daily life…Transiting Moon in Capricorn… Transiting Jupiter goes Retrograde October 2024

Present Moon Sign/Phase/House:

  • Date: October 9 @5:38 am(ET) @2:38 am(PT)
  • Moon Sign: Capricorn
  • Moon Phase: 1st moves into 2nd sometime on the 10th
  • Void-of-Course: October 11 @11:53am(ET) @8:53am(PT) to moon into Aquarius just after noon.  Capricorn Moon v/c is not one of the 4 “good signs” 
  • Opportunity Period: None

What does it all mean?

  • Capricorn is business, duty and discipline. She is ruled by Saturn, the planet of restrictions. 
  • Change may be more challenging to deal with, and we may be resistant towards it…  
  • Dealings with the elderly may be in focus. 
  • Dealings with “authority” types, such as teachers, principles, supervisor’s may be in focus. Being respectful of such positions may help to alleviate tension. 
  • 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. 
  • Rules and regulations may be in focus, and depending on how you deal with these, it could be a favourable time or a stressful one. 
  • Good time to watch, listen and learn
  • 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
  • Moon in Cancer
  • Any aspects to the Moon or Saturn

NOTES:
  • Jupiter, the planet of expansion, currently in the sign of Gemini, goes into retrograde motion on October 9th @ 3:05am (ET) @12:05am (PT).
  • Gemini is chatty, sociable, can be community orientated and neighbourly… However, Gemini may also be superficial and attracted to the latest trends… Being in Jupiter while he is in retrograde motion, may slow us down a bit regarding our ability to communicate, probably a good thing, as during such times, it is a good idea to think carefully before we speak… Community events may not go as planned, but will still be fun and productive. Some of us may be feeling more restless then usual. 
  • When Jupiter visits a sign/house, he encourages growth in that life area, he is a jolly sort and likes to grow, learn and risk a thing a two along the way to allow growth to happen… Trips and learning something new can be exciting.. However, while Jupiter is in retrograde motion what happens now, may have to be repeated sometime in the future… Don’t be alarmed if you have to re-take a test/exam or are not able to finish all your vacation plans… Retrograde times are times of learning… Jupiter is a lucky planet, he holds open doors of opportunity, he will remain Mr. Jolly always, it will be up to us, during retrograde times to be aware that not everything will pan out the way we thought it might, and we may have to look a little bit harder for those open doors of opportunity. 
  • Friday October 11th: Yom Kippur Begins and Sundown
  • Friday October 11th: Pluto, in the sign of Capricorn goes Direct. 

Wishing a very Happy Born Day to our sister in law Marie this week…. May the coming year be filled with good health, happiness and joy… 

  • 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…. :)
