  • Astrological Event: Mars visits with the sign of Capricorn
  • Date: March 17 to May 17 2018
  • Time: 12:40 pm (ET) 9:40 am (PT)

What does it mean?

  • Mars is the male planet, he is action and can be aggressive, he can be rash and selfish, but also work in heroic ways to help us move forward, speak up for ourselves and others and pushes us to experience new frontiers. He is the ruler of Aries and corresponds to the head, the blood and the muscles. 
  • Capricorn is about duty, responsibility, hard work and career. She is an earth sign and as such can be stubborn when she digs her feet in. Fabulous sense of humour and will work hard at her chosen career… She is drawn to animals and the elderly and she is ruled by Saturn. The bones and teeth are the area’s of the body she is associated with. 
  • With Mars in Capricorn  we may feel braver then usual and ready to take on a new job or career direction.
  • We may also feel better about speaking up in the work place, weather it’s for us or someone else that we speak.
  • Capricorn is said to be strongly place in Mars, indicating this could be good for endurance and any job or activity that requires a lot of energy.
  • Mars is speed and risk taking while Capricorn has more of steady, careful pace… Having Mars in Capricorn may be the perfect balance we need…
  • We can feel more confident and willing to take a risk or too, and we may get that push we have been waiting for to make a change… yet we aren’t likely to make silly choices or take risks that will cause us more damage than good.
  • This is a fabulous time to get lots of work done, to deal with business matters in a steady practical way and to give our ambitions the “go ahead”. 
  • With the sun in Scorpio until November 22 2014 care should be taken when trying to get ahead in the work place… the pull towards getting tot the top of the ladder can be strong now, and Scorpio can feel jealous or negative towards other’s when things aren’t going quite as planned. Don’t do something you may regret later, just to get ahead. 
  • This placing will have a slight effect on all of us, but will have more of an effect on those who have the following in their charts: 
    • Sun in Capricorn:
    • Mars in Capricorn:
    • Aspects to Saturn and Mars:
    • Mars in the 10th house.
    • Saturn in Aries.

Pisces: Feminine, Mutable, Water: 

  • Pisces folk are compassionate and can have a habit of rescuing strays, (people and animals)… Feeling everything around you, (emotionally) it can be exhausting for you to spend too much time among crowds :) 
  • Spending time alone is good for you and should be encouraged as long as you don’t spend too much time in your “wonder land” … a place most Pisces’s know…. :)
  • You are encouraged to be aware of people who may take advantage of your kindness… use your strong psychic ability to sort the “wheat from the chaff” 

**Venus (relationships and money) and Mercury (communications and transportation) are both in the sign of Pisces until early March**

Thanks for caring guys….

The Moon and Astrology: How it affects our daily life… Transiting Moon in Scorpio November 2017: New Moon November 18

Present Moon Sign/Phase/House:

Zodiac signs with women's faces- Scorpius Stock Photo - 24022483
http://www.123rf.com: Copyright : macchia
  • Date(s): November 16 2017 3:19 am (ET) 12:19 am (PT)
  • Moon Sign: Scorpio
  • Moon Phase: 4th
  • Void-of-Course: November 18 6:42 am (ET) 3:42 am (PT) (Time of the New Moon) to Moon in Sagittarius Early in the afternoon : Scorpio is NOT one of the “good” v/c signs.
  • House(s): 1st & 2nd house: Houses of the self & of finances/material security.
  • Opportunity Period: November 18 6:18 am (ET) 3:18 am (PT) to 7:18 am (ET) 4:18 am (PT)… It’s early in the morning, but if you are up and about, it is a good time to start on that new project. 

What does it all mean?  

  • Scorpio is very intense and probably the most sensitive of the zodiac signs. She is ruled by Pluto now, but was once considered to be ruled by Mars… she likely retains some of the Martian influence. 
  • 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. 
  • Sex may be high on the agenda for some of us… so if you don’t want to help the world population grow right now use caution… :) 
  • 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…
  • In the 1st house: This is the house that is connected to OURSELVES… We can be overly sensitive under this influence as we are emotionally vulnerable so take care of what you THINK you are hearing… May be a good time for some of us to change-up our appearance…. and others may feel more protective or nurturing towards loved ones… This is a good time for meditation and getting in touch with our feelings… Energy levels may be higher, if they are it’s a great time to get stuff done.. However, it could be a challenge to stick to a routine or one idea now. 
  • In the 2nd house: This is the house connected to our finances and what makes us feel secure. Scorpio is connected to the 8th house & Pluto which connects to shared money matters such as insurance, mortgage, investments etc… If such issues come up right now, it’s a good time to review them. We are emotionally connected to our finances, which may affect how we are feeling over the next few days. Try not to impulse spend, especially if feeling a little “blue”. It’s best to stay grounded during this time by not attempting to do something or become a part of a situation outside of the emotional “comfort zone”.
  • This next few days may be positive for the following: Antique shopping and moving. 
  • 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
    • Moon in Taurus
    • Sun in Scorpio
    • Ascendant in Scorpio
    • Mid-heaven in Scorpio
    • Moon in the 1st,  2nd or 8th house
    • Aspects to the Moon or Pluto
    • Ascendant or Mid-heaven in Scorpio
    • Those who have a strong Taurus chart influence. 

New Moon in Scorpio November 18 2017

 

 The above traits will be stronger under the Influence of the new moon. Be especially careful when it comes to spending money, as we can be tempted to spend more than we have, or to believe we will be capable of recouping any “overage” at a later date. Remember that Scorpio is a water sign, she feels everything intensely. .. Tempers may flair, due to misconceptions or miscommunication, The New Moon is traditionally thought of as the perfect time to begin new projects, relationships, jobs etc…. The moon moves into the 1st quarter on November 19th… it is better to wait until then to begin anything new if you can… The moon will move into the sign of Sagittarius on November 18 at 1:59 pm (ET) 10:59 am (PT). 


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… The moon stays with each sign 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-off-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 Jim Shawvan):

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 FULL Moon/Lunar Eclipse in Aquarius.. August 2017

 Present Moon Sign/Phase/House:

Zodiac signs - Aquarius Stock Vector - 40977554
http://www.123rf.com: Copyright : Natalia Hubbert
  • Date: August 6 2017 @ 8:15 an (ET) 5:15 am (PT)
  • Moon Sign: Aquarius 
  • Moon Phase: 2nd
  • Void-of-Course: August 8 3:07 pm (ET) 12:07 pm (PT) to moon into Pisces 5:56 pm (ET) 2:56 pm (PT) Aquarius Moon v/c is not one of the 4 “good signs” Try not to make any important decisions or commitments now. 
  • House(s): 5th: house of pets, children, entertainment, speculation:
  • Opportunity Period: None

 

What does it all mean?

  • Aquarius is “different”,  he is ahead of his time and capable of thinking and “seeing” things in a different way then the rest of us. 
  • 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, the elderly and those worse off. 
  • Getting along with our four-legged friends may be on the top of our list now. 
  • The time may be right to understand/learn about new technology, such as a new phone, tablet or t.v. 
  • 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 or as some may see it, “difficult” 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…
  • Changes may be in the air…if you are o.k. with change, it’s possible to make long-term plan changes now..
  • Could be a good time for inventions, putting pen to paper is more appropriate at this time,  instead of going full steam ahead with concrete plans. 
  • In the 5th house: Play time with kids and pets. :) A little safe gambling for some may be in the offing… remember take only what you can afford to lose… ;) This is also the house of Leo, the opposite sign to Aquarius on the zodiac wheel.. 
  • This moon sign will have more of an effect on those who have the following in their charts. And too will those with strong Cancer or Leo placing in their charts. 
  • The next few days may be positive for: Joining a club, borrowing money, fixing cars, hair care (colors and chemical treatments), moving, painting, pouring cement, starting a new job or new construction. 
  • Note**Saturn in Sagittarius, Neptune in Pisces and Pluto in Capricorn are in retrograde motion. When planets are in retrograde motion, and especially when more than one planet is retrograde at a given time, we can expect delays, misunderstandings, re-doing, re-assessing, re-modelling… Issues from the past may resurface, and situations may repeat themselves. Life is unlikely to be moving full steam ahead… patience is advised, along with checking and double checking our work and communication skills… If you don’t understand something, ask… even if you feel “silly” doing so, it’s better to ask now and find out what you need to know, instead of waiting for some time in the future to find out you may have made the wrong decision based on the “wrong” information. 
  • Moon in Aquarius
  • Sun in Aquarius
  • Uranus in Aquarius
  • Moon in the 5 th 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 chart influence.

There is a FULL MOON, Lunar Eclipse on Monday August 7th in the sign of Aquarius. All of the above traits will be stronger and will have the strongest effect on those who have strong Aquarius, Leo and Cancer placings in their charts. The full moon is a good time to wind down projects, finish things up or gets things moving towards the final stage(s). Because this months full moon happens Aquarius, these endings are most likely to affect the following area’s: Friends, politics or humanitarian events. The Eclipse brings an unsettling or unsteady influence into the day. Because of this it is better to leave the following things until later in the week if you can: Elective surgery, important events and the arranging of them and or the signing of any important documents. The influence of the Eclipse can have an effect on anyone and everyone.
