Present Moon Sign/Phase/House:

  • Date: February 9 2017
  • Moon Sign: Leo
  • Moon Phase:2nd
  • Void-off-Course: Late Friday (10) night (PT) Early Saturday morning (11) (ET) to 8:52 am (ET) 5:52 am (PT), mid morning to 11 pm: Leo Moon v/c is not one of the 4 “good signs”
  • House(s): 10th house of responsibility, career, social standing.
  • Opportunity Period: February 9 4:42 am (ET) 1:41 am (PT) to v/c on Friday/Saturday. Mental and Physical energy high.

What does it all mean?

  • The Leo Moon Loves Drama, so be warned… 
  • The Leo Moon loves to noticed and recognized, so be prepared to “pump up” your loved ones and if you happened to have a Leo influence in yourself, be aware of how you may be going about getting recognized or appreciated… If you play your cards right this could be a positive time when you get to be where you need to be.
  • Try not to be overly “vain” and be prepared for drama at any-time from any direction
  • Try not to over react and if it’s not you doing the over reacting, try not to get caught up in the drama, or to encourage the over reactor
  • It’s a good time to check out the local talent, take in a down town show, get starry-eyed with your lover, or perhaps look for a new one, as romance is high on the priority ladder during this time. 
  • Might prove positive for hair cuts, make overs. 
  • In the 10th house: For some of us focus will be on our jobs and career’s, and this may be a positive time for folk who are looking for work, so stay open to possibilities and watch for opportunities. Behave while in social/business situations. Those who have families may need to keep their work at work, when it comes to family time. 
  • This moon period will affect everyone, but more so those who have the following in their charts:
    • Moon in Leo:
    • Sun in Leo:  
    • Moon in Aquarius
    • Sun in Aquarius
    • Moon in the 10th house
    • Moon in the 5th house 
    • Aspects to the moon, Sun or Saturn
  •  Those who have a strong Capricorn or Aquarius placement in their charts may also feel this moon’s influence more than others. 

Full Moon is February 10 2017 it is also a Lunar Eclipse on the Leo/Aquarius axis.

All of the above influences will be stronger during a full moon, the added influence of the Lunar Eclipse may cause a bit of stir within relationships. Folks may find themselves driven to making changes in their lives,  because “all of a sudden” they realize just what it is that is missing in their lives… and they want to go and get it…

Romantic declarations may be afoot for some while distressing separation or relationship endings may be in the air for others.

Traditionally the full moon relates to endings, the finishing up of things. Jobs and Career changes are possible. For those who find they are without a job all of a sudden, try and look on the bright side, as this may be just the push needed for you to look for a job/career direction that is closer to your heart.

The effects of a Full Moon/ Lunar Eclipse may last up to 6 months, especially for people who also have a birthday on this day… take care in what you wish for and in the actions that you take. Those with Leo and Aquarius in their charts will feel the effects of this Full Moon the most.

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 is not 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 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.

Transiting Moon in Gemini January 2017

Present Moon Sign/Phase/House:

Zodiac sign Gemini on a background of the starry sky with the scheme of stars in the constellation, vector illustration Stock Vector - 37150664
http://www.123rf.com: Copyright : Nataliia Vzhyshnevska
  • Date: January 8 2017
  • Moon Sign: Gemini:
  • Moon Phase: 2nd
  • Void-of-Course: January 10
  • House(s) 8th & 9th house of, death, tax’s, insurance issues, shared money matters: higher learning and travel, new experiences, publishing, advertising politics, religion and philosophy.
  • Opportunity Period: January 10 early morning to late afternoon. Good for business dealings.

What does it all mean?

  • Gemini is an air sign and needs lots of stimuli. She is ruled by Mercury. Mercury turns direct on January 8th but will still be in his “storm” until January 14…. remain vigilant until then, as plans can still go in the opposite direction you were intending.
  • 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… ;) Dealings with family, especially siblings, are likely. Memories are shared and possible solutions to old problems can be found. However, wait until after the Mercury Retrograde before putting any new ideas or plans into motion. 
  • 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
  • In the 8th house: It could mean a trip to the lawyer, Insurance agent or bank manager for some folks… it’s also a good time to review our money situation, especially after the holiday season… talk things over with your other half and get a budget in the works… with a Gemini moon there shouldn’t be any worries about coming up with logical solutions.
  • In the 9th house: A Busy time for some folks, plans could be in the making for travel
  • A new study could be on the cards for some of us.. and it will likely be approached with enthusiasm. 
  • If it’s possible to go on vacation now, grab the chance, you might learn more than you could have ever imagined… :) 
  • 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. 
  • This moon sign will have more of an effect on those who have the following in their charts.
        • Sun in Gemini
        • Sun in Virgo
        • Moon in Gemini
        • Moon in the 3rd house
        • Moon in Sagittarius
        • Moon in the 9th house
        • Any aspects to the Moon, Mercury or Jupiter

    Date: August 16 2016 to August 18 2016:

  • Moon Sign: Aquarius at 7:52 am (ET) 4:52 am (PT)
  • Moon Phase:2nd
  • Void-off-Course: August 18 5:27 am (ET) 2:27 am (PT) to 12:34 pm (ET) 9:34 am (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): 4th & 5th:4th house of domestic and family affairs: 5th house of children, pets and entertainment
  • Opportunity Period: August 16 7:53 am (ET) 4:53 am (PT) until void off course on the 18th: This is a good time for just about anything that you interests you… :)
    • 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…
    • In the 4th house: Affairs relating to our domestic situation may be high on the agenda… if they aren’t, it’s a good time to make them so, especially during the opportune time… tidy, organize, cook, create to make your house the home you need… :) Spending time with family and loved ones could go well and announcements of pregnancies and weddings could be in the air.
    • In the 5th house: Once you have all your domestic chores seen to :) make time for entertaining with friends and family… Playing with kids and pets is awesome therapy now… they allow us to see things from a different perspective, one that is simpler and all about fun… :) 
    • Could be a good time for inventions… Perhaps keeping them to paper until after the 24th is advisable if the goal is for the invention to work. 
    • 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. 
    • Moon in Aquarius
    • Sun in Aquarius
    • Uranus in Aquarius
    • Moon in the 4th or 5th house
    • Moon in Cancer
    • Any aspects between the Moon and Uranus . 

Full Moon: August 18th

  • With the full moon in Aquarius all of the above traits will be stronger, especially for folks with Aquarius or Leo in their charts.
  • There will be a tendency towards rebellious and fanatical actions… the breaking of old traditions may also be on the agenda… personal causes may feel more urgent… take care not to go over board, let logic lead you when your heart gets a little outta hand… :)
  • For some folks this could be a good time to let go of bad habits, people and situations as the Full Moon is traditionally known as the completion of a cycle…..
  • During this month’s full moon take the time to review what it is you feel you need to discard, but don’t do anything rash… if possible wait until the 24th to make your choices permanent. 

 

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…. :)
