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

How does the “Consignment” part work?

You send us your information and photos, we put them on SGC2 and promote them for you via our SGC’s Twitter, Face Book, Pintrest and Linkdin media accounts… We may also add them to our monthly newsletter :) …. Our paper newsletter will not include photo’s however, but will include a detailed description (well, as detailed as space permits) ;)…. 

We offer you the option of allowing your customers to purchase your products using our pay pal account… we would then forward you the funds (minus any “commission”) … Please keep in mind that if you opt for this option Pal Pay takes a small percentage from the payment. 

If you don’t want to use the Pal Pay option… You can…

What can you share with us?  

“Consignment” products need to home/hand made, hopefully using mostly Canadian/US (North American) components. We understand that sourcing North American components can be a bit of a challenge, so don’t panic if you can’t.. Please keep in mind this a “family friendly” website :)… Any product that is environmentally friendly or encourages kindness to, and respect of, mother earth is also welcomed. Products that invoke happiness, kindness and fun are eagerly accepted. :) 

How much will this cost you, why is there a fee, and how does it work? 

Our affordable “fee” or consignment percentage will be mutually agreed upon by us and you at the time of “sign up”. We strive to be fair to everyone… (us included) :).. it takes us time to post your products and we do so with care and positive intention & we hope you understand our reasoning  :) 

Please email us with your questions, concerns and comments, we will get back to you as soon as we can… :)
