  • Date: August 25 @11:04pm (ET) @8:04pm (PT) 
  • Moon Sign: Gemini:
  • Moon Phase: 3rd moves into the 4th on the 26th
  • Void-of-Course: August 28 @3:14am (ET) @12:14am (PT) 
  • Opportunity Period: None:

What does it all mean?

  • Gemini is an air sign and needs lots of stimuli. She is ruled by Mercury. 
  • Gemini is connected to the 3rd house of: day-to-day travel/affairs and siblings…
  • Dealings with family, especially siblings, may happen. Memories are shared and possible solutions to old problems can be found. 
  • We could find ourselves busy with multiple things going on, even if they are just in our own minds… 
  • “Tip”: If you do  have tons of ideas spinning around in your head,  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, 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: Mercury has just gone retrograde (April 21), extra caution is advised when corresponding with others. 
  • A new study could be on the cards for some of us.. and it will likely be approached with enthusiasm. 
  • 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
        • Moon in Gemini
        • Moon in the 3rd house
        • Moon or Sun in Sagittarius
        • Any aspects to the Moon or Jupiter

NOTES:

  • Monday, August 26th: The moon is showing only one aspect, a square to the Sun in Virgo. Squares can make things awkward, but they do help us to make necessary changes, sometimes, we need a push and Squares can help us to make the changes we keep putting off. 
  • Tuesday August 27th: Venus has one aspect, a trine to Uranus in Taurus, Trines are helpful and harmonious, bringing in co-operation and compromise. The Moon experiences 6 aspects throughout the day: Squares to Saturn in Pisces and Venus in Virgo. Conjunctions to Jupiter in Gemini and Mars in Gemini. Conjunctions can be either helpful or a hinderance: Sextiles to Mercury in Leo and Chiron in Aries.  Sextiles are also “friendly” aspects, but can make it easier for us to remain in a “rut”, being comfortable isn’t always the best, sometimes we need to be motivated. 
  • Wednesday August 28th: Mercury turns direct, but remains in it’s storm (moving slowly) until September 3rd… Communications, technology and transportation issues may start to become resolved, but not everything will fall into place at once. Continue to double check all communications, and don’t be surprised by glitches re: technology/transportation. The moon experiences two squares, one to Venus in Capricorn and one to Neptune in Pisces. The moon moves into the sign of Cancer on Wednesday at 4;47am (ET) @ 1:47am (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… 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… 

Good for Void-Of-Course Moon:

These v/c signs may prove to be quite productive times.

  • 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.

The Moon and Astrology: How it affects our daily life…Transiting Full Moon in Aquarius.. August 2024

 Present Moon Sign/Phase/House:

Zodiac signs - Aquarius Stock Vector - 40977554
http://www.123rf.com: Copyright : Natalia Hubbert
  • Date: August 17 @5:45 pm (ET) @2:45 pm(PT) 
  • Moon Sign: Aquarius 
  • Moon Phase: 2nd 
  • Void-of-Course: August 19 @2:26pm (ET) @11:26am (PT) to moon into Pisces later in the evening:  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 can be ahead of their time, and capable of thinking and “seeing” things in a different way then the rest of us. 
  • Aquarius may appear to be “flaky”, but don’t be fooled, these folks are very capable… with an almost magically ability to learn anything. 
  • 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, and those worse off. Which may mean it’s easier for some to be targeted by those nasty humans, who prefer to rip off little old ladies, instead of making an living. Be aware, especially as this months’ moon in Aquarius will be a Super Full Moon… 
  • For Some folks, the next few days may be advantageous when it comes to understanding or learning about new technology. (NOTE: Mercury is still in retrograde motion, expect glitches and odd occurrences re: technology, communication and travel)
  • 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 as some may see such behaviour as one trying to be difficult, losing the concept of 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 be as easy now, so expect weird schedule’s and interrupted meetings… (The Mercury retrograde, will make such things even more apparent). 
  • Changes may be in the air… Do we resist or do we Comply? As always it depends on the subject or the situation…
  • Could be a good time for inventions… Perhaps keeping them to paper until Mercury has turned direct ;) would be a good idea. 
  • This months Aquarius moon may be good for:  Borrowing money: Moving: Painting: Pouring cement: Purchasing big appliances: and starting diets.  
  • This moon sign will have more of an effect on those who have the following in their charts. And those with strong Leo placing in their charts. 
  • Moon in Aquarius
  • Sun in Aquarius
  • Uranus in Aquarius
  • Moon in the 11th house
  • Ascendant or Mid-heaven in Aquarius
  • Any aspects to the Moon.
  • **NOTE: Full Moon is on Monday August 19th @2:26pm (ET) @11:26am (PT) 
Full Moon ☺
  • A Full Moon in Aquarius will emphasize all the traits of an Aquarius moon…
  • The full moon can represent endings, closure or completions for some of us… And while endings can be painful, the “newness” they present can be euphoric…you just gotta “weather the storm”:)
  • Because Aquarius is attached to the 11th house of Friends, Hobbies, teams and sometimes the community via doing good deeds… The endings/completions during this month’s full moon, may be related to such activities or people.
  • Aquarius can be responsible for inventions and brilliant ideas, and so for some, this month’s full moon may mean the completion of any such fantastic and novel ideas… 
  • This months Full Moon is described as a SUPER MOON.

We did a quick google search regarding “what is a SUPER MOON?” Here are 2 examples of what popped up right away… Very interesting about the “Sturgeon Moon”,

Any Algonquin people’s in our SGC family, if so we would love to hear your comments on this.. 👇😊

“August’s full moon is often referred to as the sturgeon moon, dubbed by Algonquin tribes who lived in what is known as the northeastern U.S. today. The name refers to the large fish that were more easily caught around this time of year in the Great Lakes and other bodies of water.”
Astrologers, did you know the that the phrase “Supermoon” was coined by an astrologer? 
When the moon’s orbit brings it closer to Earth than usual, this cosmic combo is called a supermoon. A supermoon occurs when the moon’s orbit is closest to Earth at the same time the moon is full. The term was coined by astrologer Richard Nolle in 1979

  • Moon Sign: Capricorn 
  • Moon Phase: 2nd
  • Void-of-Course: June 23 @11:05pm (ET) @8:05pm (PT) to moon into Aquarius a few minutes later. Capricorn Moon v/c is not one of the 4 “good signs” Try not to make any important decisions or commitments now. 
  • Opportunity Period: None
  • Full Moon June 21

What does it all mean?

  • Capricorn is business, duty and discipline. She is ruled by Saturn, the planet of restrictions. 
  • We may be more motivated in our career or work direction 
  • Dealings with the elderly may be in focus. 
  • Dealings with “authority” types, such as teachers, principles, supervisor’s may be in focus. 
  • 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. 
  • Good time to watch, listen and learn
  • We may find we are looking at our “worth” now, including the salary we get paid. 
  • Our public image may be very important to some folks for the next few day, especially if dealing in work or career situations.  
  • This is a “Father” influence, paternal parental situations may be in focus.

NOTES: 35568229-country-cottage-in-full-moon-starry-night-landscapeFULL MOON in Capricorn June 21 @9:08pm (ET) @6:08pm (PT). The Full Moon energy will strengthen all that is listed above. As the Moon becomes full, it can be seen as a culmination of a months worth of work/play and knowledge seeking. For creative projects it can signify the completion of such projects.. Projects, situations that aren’t coming to a close now, may experience a bit of a pause, a time to adjust tweak and reflect. Traditionally, it is thought that the full moon energy is not the best energy to begin something new under. Capricorn can be work/career orientated, sometimes to the extent of other relationships being “put on hold”… As the Full Moon represents closure or endings, it may be possible to put an end to situations that are no longer fulfilling… such situations may include, career direction, work preferences, or the changing/ending of relationships, especially those connected to work/career. 

NOTES: 2: Retrograde_Neptune[1]  The Sun moved into the sign of Cancer ♋on Thursday June 20th. Cancer is one of the most nurturing signs of the zodiac and one of the most sensitive… Cancer folks, try not to be too helpful towards your loved ones, sometimes it can get a little overwhelming for them,💙 … Loved ones of Cancer folks, be patient with them, harshness isn’t something they blossom on… 😊Cancer is ruled by the moon, (emotions) she is water (sensitive) connected to the 4th house of domestic bliss and family…When upset or confused, Cancer, like her sign depiction the crab, may become hermit like, trying to escape from the harshness of reality, in these instances all she needs is a big hug and some understanding…  She is the opposite sign to Capricorn, once the full moon energy in Capricorn has passed, Cappies, might encounter a few challenges… patience, empathy and compassion are good guidelines for this month.

  • Date: June 16 @ 11:38 pm (PT) June 17 @ 2:38 am (ET)
  • Moon Sign: Scorpio
  • Moon Phase: 2nc
  • Void-off-Course: June 19 @12:19 pm(ET) @ 9:19 am(PT) to moon into Sagittarius shortly afterwards.  
  • Opportunity Period: None

What does it all mean?  

  • Scorpio is intense and one of the most “sensitive” of the zodiac signs
  • The moon relates to our emotions and how we react to situations and people
  • 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
  • Some of us may be highly creative, while others may connect with their psychic side… 
  • Secrets may be told now… we can be enticed to open up to others about our deepest feelings/fantasy’s…Take care with whom you share your secrets if you don’t want them “displayed” at a later date. Some folks may keep your information until it suits them to use it without your consent.
  • 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
    • Sun in Scorpio
    • Ascendant in Scorpio

    • Moon in 8th house
    • Mid-heaven in Scorpio
    • Those who have a strong Taurus chart influence. 
  • NOTES:
  •  June 16th: Venus visits with Cancer♋ until mid July: Venus watches over money and relationships, Cancer is family orientated and emotionally sensitive, with a strong connection to the past. We may be feeling more affectionate during this time, making our loved ones feel safe and comfy…cooking comfort meals or baking yummy cakes, pies and cookies is just one way we can show our loved ones just how much we care about them…Romance may be on the agenda for some of us… Cupid is about with her little arrows..💖  Feeling safe and secure with our loved ones is paramount now. Those who have strong Venus (Libra/Taurus) or Cancer chart placings may feel this celestial connection more than others. 
  • June 16th: Fathers Day… Happy Day to you all…😊
  • June 17th: Mercury visits with Cancer♋ until August 1: Mercury watches over communications, transportation and technology… We may be attracted to information regarding the deeper side of life, not so much the fluff and frills and gossip, but what actually affects us on a more personal level. Our concerns may shift from the worries of the world, bringing focus back to the self and our immediate loved ones. Take care during this time, as we can be more emotionally sensitive, making it more difficult for us to be objective.
