During the Days of Awe, a Jew tries to amend his or her behavior and seek forgiveness for wrongs done against God (bein adam leMakom) and against other human beings (bein adam lechavero). The evening and day of Yom Kippur are set aside for public and private petitions and confessions of guilt (Vidui).

The Moon and Astrology: How it affects our daily life…Transiting Moon in Capricorn…September 2015

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-off-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 off 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 off Course…. However there are 4 signs in the zodiac which may prove positive during the Void-off-Course moon… 

Good for Void-Off-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. 

Thanks to Jim Shawvan present day astrologer, William Lilly 17th century astrologer and Llewellyn’s Daily Planetary Guide for opportunity periods.

Present Moon Sign/Phase/House:

http://www.123rf.com: Copyright : Varvara Gorbash
  • Date:  September 18 to 21 2015
  • Moon Sign: Sagittarius at 11:32 pm (ET) 8:32 pm (PT) 
  • Moon Phase:1st
  • Void-off-Course: September 21 @ 4:59 am  (ET) 1:59 am (PT) to 8:33 am (ET) 5:33 am (PT): Moon v/c in Sagittarius is one of the 4 void off course  “good signs” (see above).
  • House(s): 2nd & 3rd: 2nd house of financial and material security. 3rd house of siblings,  communications and day-to-day affairs. 
  • Opportunity Period: September 21 4:59 am (ET) 1:59 am (PT) to 8:33 am (ET) 5:33 am (PT). This is a short O/P but a good one for the “night owls”. 

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 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… Just 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.
  • In the 2nd house, focus is likely our finances, some of us may even get luck in this area… for others, they may be more generous than they should be… Because this house also relates to our material security, we may also be looking at buying a house or moving to a foreign land.
  • In the 3rd house: (moves into the 3rd house Sept 19 @ 8;46 am). Our hearts and our minds are one… which can be a “good thing” or a “not so good thing” depending on where you are at emotionally. It’s probably not the best time to make a decision regarding a long-term “emotional” situation if you aren’t absolutely sure. If you do go ahead and take the “plunge” be sure to know all the facts (now and for the long-term). Contacts with neighbours and siblings may be in focus. Possible emotional/mental situations regarding one or both. 
  • 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 or Cancer placement in their charts. 
    • Moon in Sagittarius
    • Jupiter in Sagittarius
    • Moon in the 9th house
    • Ascendant in Sagittarius
    • Mid-heaven in Sagittarius
    • Moon in the 2nd house
    • Moon in the 3rd house
    • Sun in Sagittarius
    • Aspects to the Moon and Jupiter.

Present Moon Sign/Phase/House:

http://www.123rf.com: Copyright : Varvara Gorbash
  • Date: September 16 to 18 2015
  • Moon Sign: Scorpio 11:43 am (ET) 8:43 am (PT)
  • Moon Phase: 1st
  • Void-off-Course: September 18  3:49 pm: (ET) 12:49 pm (ET) to 11:32 pm (ET) 8:32 pm (PT)
  • House(s): 2nd house: House of finances and material security. 
  • Opportunity Period: None

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. 
  • 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 2nd house: Scorpio is ruled by Pluto, and is at home in the 8th house which is connected to shared money matters, insurance and inheritance. And because the 2nd house relates to our material security and our financial concerns it wouldn’t be surprising if such subjects are on the agenda to be looked into. This could be an ideal time to sort out finances and get things in order. 
  • 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.. and those who have a strong Aries or Taurus placement in their charts. 
    • Moon in Scorpio
    • Moon in Taurus
    • Sun in Scorpio
    • Moon in Aries
    • Ascendant in Scorpio
    • Mid-heaven in Scorpio
    • Moon in 2nd or 8th house
    • Aspects to the Moon, Mars or Pluto

Present Moon Sign/Phase/House:

Zodiac signs - Libra Stock Vector - 40977561
http://www.123rf.com: Copyright : Natalia Hubbert
  • Date: September 13 to September 16 2015
  • Moon Sign: Libra 10:41 pm (ET) 7:41 pm (PT)
  • Moon Phase: 4th moves into the 1st on Sept 14
  • Void-off-Course: September 16 @ 12:22 am (ET) September 15 @ 9:22 pm (PT) to 11:43 am (ET) 8:43 am (PT) Moon v/c in Libra is not one of the 4 void off course “good signs” 
  • House: 12th & 1st: 12th house of our psyche, institutions, secrets, fantasy and illusion. 1st house of the self. 
  • Opportunity Period: September 15 2:28 pm (ET) 11:28 am (PT) to September 16 @ 11:43 am (ET) 8:43 am (PT): Get cracking with anything begun before September 9… you should see some positive progress. 

What does it all mean?

  • Libra has a need for balance, indicating this moon period may be an ideal time to implement some into our daily lives. 
  • A desire for justice may be present, dealing with issues that have upset our sense of justice may prove to be productive. 
  • Diplomacy is likely to be more apparent during the next few days, and may be a good time to bring up that topic you have been putting on the back burner. 
  • Hesitation is probably going to raise its head, we may see many sides of a story and find it difficult to make up our minds. 
  • Difficulty in making commitments or long-term decisions, because we can’t make up our minds. If this is the case perhaps wait a few days until the move has moved out of Libra. 
  • Libra is happiest when in a relationship or partnership. Indicating this may be a good time to begin one. :) 
  • Co-operation should be in the air, making this an ideal time to make plans with others. 
  • May be a good time to improve our appearance and surroundings. 
  • May be great time to go bargain hunting, 
  • In the 12 house, we may feel more inclined to spend time alone. For some of us it may mean a trip to the hospital, to visit someone or for a procedure. Secrets may be created or affairs of the heart fantasized about, take care what you tell who during the next few days, and be careful to forget the secrets you are told. 
  • In the 1st house, (moves into the 1st house on September 14 @ 8:22 am (ET) 5:22 am (PT)) This house is ruled by Aries, which is the polar sign to Libra. We should be able to get our point across now, at the very least allow folk to know who we are feeling. Aries “bravery” and Libra’s diplomacy are a good combination as it’s unlikely we will go over board when expressing ourselves emotionally… If we keep a cool head on our shoulders we can bring in the assistance and support we need… ;)
  • This moon sign will affect us all but will have more of an effect on those who have the following in their charts.
    • Moon in Libra,
    • Sun in Libra,
    • Venus in Libra
    • Venus in Pisces
    • Moon in 12th house,
    • Moon in 7th house,
    • Any aspects to the Moon or Venus

NEW MOON…

September 13 @ 2:41 am (ET) September 12 @ 11:41 pm (PT)

The new moon will add to the influences listed above. And While the moon becomes “exact” in the sign of Virgo, the influence will be that of the sign of Libra. Virgo will still be about, indicating a good eye for detail when thinking of expressing, or beginning a new project. Traditionally, it is a good time to begin new projects, relationships, studies, jobs, school etc when the moon is her newest… however, the absolutely best time is when the moon is new in the 1st phase, where she will be on September 14, it is suggested we wait until then to begin “anew”. The transiting moon will also be moving into the 1st house (Equal house system) on this day, indicating that projects, studies, vocational activities began under this influence are likely to be focused on ourselves. 

Partial Solar Eclipse September 13 2015

  • This partial eclipse will be seen “southern Africa, Antarctica and the ocean between them”. Please Click Here to find out more about this partial eclipse with “earthsky.org”
  • Some folk may be more affected by this phenomenon.. For those folk anything “major event” happening in your life around the time of this partial eclipse will likely last anywhere from 3 to 6 months…
