The Moon and Astrology: How it affects our daily life…Transiting NEW Moon in Gemini June 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.

  • ***NEW MOON**|June 16:
  • Traditionally the new moon is the best time to begin anything new. However, the optimum time is really in the 1st phase of the moon. The New Moon doesn’t always fall in the 1st phase, as is in the case of this month’s new moon. Thinking and planning can still be done on the 16th, but it’s recommended that any actions wait until next day, the 17th of June, when the moon will have moved into the 1st phase. :) 
  • With this month’s NEW MOON in the sign of Gemini, which is ruled by Mercury, dealings in communications and technology begun under this influence should go well. 
  • Connections with siblings
  • Could be a good time for the “birth of a new novel or book”
  • An opportune time for journalists and writer’s

What does it all mean?

  • Gemini is an air sign and needs lots of stimuli. She is ruled by Mercury. 
  • We may find we are trying to do multiple things at once, which may not go exactly as we may have planned. 
  • 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 9th house: This can be a good time to finish up a study session, or to begin a new one. We want to expand our minds now, so go ahead, but take care not to carried away. Travel may beckon us, go if you can, if not check out a fabulous travel show on t.v. Routines may get a shake up, those of us who need a routine to stay focused could be feeling emotionally out of sorts for the next couple of days.
  • 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. 
  • Moon in Gemini,
  • Sun in Gemini
  • Sun in Virgo
  • Moon in Sagittarius
  • Moon in the 9th house
  • Any aspects to the Moon, Mercury or Jupiter

Please note the above image is a likeness of the image presented in the Whitby This Week and is not Opal

“Opal is a domestic short-haired female approximately 2 years old. She gets along well with other cats and likes to play with toys. She likes to cuddle and would be a good addition to a family with kids.

For information on how to adopt Opal or any other cat up for adoption at Oshawa Animal Services by calling 905 436 3311″


There are many cats looking for a forever home, and some who cannot get adopted out will be euthanized. However, owning a pet is a long-term responsible commitment, there are costs involved such as litter and food, annual vet exams and vaccinations and unexpected emergencies..Pet insurance is available at varied rates, as is creating a savings account for pet expenses. As cats age some can become a lot work, or develop health issues, it suggested, that any who consider adding a furry four legged animal member into the clan remembers they are doing so for (hopefully) many years to come. 

To find out which shelter near you has cats for adoption, please search June adopt a cat month durham region.

What does it all mean?

  • Taurus needs emotional and material security, so we may find we are more interested in our financial affairs. 
  • This may prove to be a good time to make investments for the future or to begin plans for the next financially responsible phase.

  • Things that give us pleasure, such as comfort foods, wine, relaxing, good music and giving/receiving “loving’s” are all things we may enjoy right now
  • Some of us may be feeling more frugal than usual, preferring to save our funds instead of spend it.

  • In the 8th house: Taxes, insurance and estate planning may be in the works, and some may benefit from an inheritance under this moon. Our emotions are intense now, but it’s best to hold them down if we can, as we may jump to conclusions or assume things we shouldn’t. We could also be prompted to share our deepest secrets, be sure you are sharing the right ones with the right people. This is a good time for folk who have been wanting to make positive changes, if you are feeling stronger on every level you are encouraged to go for the change.
  •  Keep your temper under check if you can, Taurus is very, very patient and it takes a lot to make her angry, but watch out once she has had enough, she will certainly let you know..

Hugh Jackman: Dukale’s Dream

“Dukale’s Dream is a truly inspiring documentary that uses an everyday product to really send a message…” Eli Ralston, Reel Deal

Hugh Jackman is an Academy Award® nominated, Golden Globe and Tony Award winning actor. From his turn on Broadway as the 1970’s singer/songwriter Peter Allen, to his metal claw-wielding Wolverine in the X-MEN franchise, Hugh Jackman has proven to be one of the most versatile actors of our time. In addition to his acting work, Hugh Jackman serves as an ambassador for World Vision Australia. In 1999, he traveled to Ethiopia to visit a community development Project and met a young coffee farmer named Dukale, working to lift his family out of poverty. Inspired by Dukale’s story, Hugh Jackman launched Laughing Man Coffee in 2011 to provide a marketplace for farmers in developing countries to sell their goods to consumers in the U.S.

As part of his ongoing commitment, Hugh Jackman contributes 100% of his profits to the Laughing Man Foundation, which he created to support educational programs, community development and social entrepreneurs around the world.

DUKALE’S DREAM a feature length documentary by Josh Rothstein about Hugh Jackman’s unlikely friendship with an Ethiopian coffee farmer named Dukale, who had grown up in poverty and was deprived of an education.

After working on Dukale’s farm, Hugh Jackman realized that something as simple as a cup of coffee could have a profound impact on global poverty. Hugh Jackman was so inspired by what he learned from Dukale that he made a promise to him and his family, sending him on a life-changing journey.CFddjUMW0AAQ4d0

During an interview with Anderson Cooper, Hugh Jackman spoke about his experience in Ethiopia and how it was an all-around awakening experience. Hugh Jackman, an actor most famously known as Wolverine in the X-Men saga, during a trip to Ethiopia as an ambassador for World Vision Australia, along with his wife, Deborra-Lee Furness, discover the personal trials of a small community of Coffee growers in the Yirgacheffe region.

In the same interview, Hugh Jackman mentions the Paul Newman entrepreneurial Model, which is a new wave of Humanitarian entrepreneurship, and a different way to bring help and to develop poor communities around the world through a more transparent, conscious and sustainable way; under the banner of Fair Trade exchange and transactions.
