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

The New Moon is February 18 in Aquarius: Traditionally the new moon is the best time to begin something new, such as a project, new job or  the beginnings of a new relationship. The date of the new moon doesn’t mean the moon is in the 1st phase, she may still be in the 4th phase. If possible it’s best to wait until she is in the 1st phase to begin anything new, planning can still be done while she sits in the 4th phase. The New Moon moves into the 1st phase on February 19 2015. The influence of the moon in Aquarius will be stronger on the 18 and 19 of February. The New Moon will move into the sign of Pisces shortly after, it will therefore have a dusting of the Pisces influence.

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. However keep in mind the “leader” of technology Mercury is Retrograde from Oct 4 to 25.
  • 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…
  • Could be a good time for inventions… Perhaps keeping them to paper until after the 25 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.
  • Moon in Aquarius
  • Sun in Aquarius
  • Uranus in Aquarius
  • Moon in the 4th or 5th house
  • Any aspects to the Moon .

Present Moon Sign/Phase/House:

Scorpion Zodiac Sign on the blue background Stock Vector - 18176211
http://www.123rf.com: Copyright : Svetlana Konovalova
  • Date: February 9 2015 to February 12 2015
  • Moon Sign: Scorpio February 10 @ 2:05 am (ET) February 9 @ 11:05 pm (PT)
  • Moon Phase: 3rd
  • Void-off-Course: February 11 @ 9:32 pm (PT) February 12 @ 12:32 am (ET) to February 12 @ 11:46 am (ET) 8:46 am (PT).
  • House(s): 1st & 2nd: Begins in 1st on Feb 9 and ends in 2nd on Feb 12: The 1st house relates to the self, indicating a preoccupation with anything to do with ourselves, ;). In the 2nd house we turn our focus to our finances and 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 1st house: Our personal desires and needs will be on our minds. We may be more selfish, so be careful around sensitive loved ones. Some of us may be more “needy” this can be offputting to independant types. Be careful how you go after what you want, being mean or sneaky now to achieve it may come back to get you later.
  • In the 2nd house: This could prove to be a good time to look into investments, these include property investments as well as monetary ones. Financial mergers are possible now with better long-term results. If you have been wanting to beef up your residential or business property security, now is a good time, as you are more likely to find the information you are looking for. Keep in mind the Mercury Retrograde, be sure to check and double-check all paper work before signing.
  • 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.. 
    • Moon in Scorpio
    • Sun in Scorpio

    • Moon in the 1st house
    • Moon in the 2nd house

Present Moon Sign/Phase/House:

Lady of Justice on white background  Stock Photo - 15548810
http://www.123rf.com: Copyright : Burmakin Andrey
  • Date: February 7 to February 9 2015
  • Moon Sign: Libra at approx 1:44 pm (ET) 10:44 am (PT)
  • Moon Phase: 3rd
  • Void-off-Course: February 9 6:58 am (ET) 3:58 am (PT) to February 10 2:05 am (ET) February 9 11:05 pm (PT)
  • House(s) 12th & 1st: The 12th house is the house of fantasy, illusion, how we “deal” with institutions (hospitals, schools, etc) the moon starts out in the 12 and will move into the first by February 9: The first house is about the SELF
  • Opportunity Period: February 8 2015 7:02 pm (ET) 4:02 pm (PT) to February 9 2015 6:58 am (ET) 3:58 am (PT): Mostly useful for night owls, but we can all benefit if we have stuff to do in the evening.

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. :) Just keep in mind that the moon is in the 12 house of dreams and fantasy’s Sept 24 to early hours of the 27th. We may see what we want to see instead of what is reality.
  • 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, 
  • While the moon is in the 12 house, we may feel more inclined to spend some time alone to reflect and review our life. We can be “deceived” and should be cautious of our perspective. Some of us may be involved in a hospital or correctional facility or School or we may find we are supported loved ones and/or friends regarding these facilities.
  • When the moon is in the 1st house, focus can turn inwards, or we may be preoccupied with ourselves, our needs and our desires… This works well for those who seem to be on the giving end all the time, however those who have a selfish streak may be even more so now.
  • 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 Taurus
    • Moon in 7th house,
    • Moon in the 11th house
    • Moon in 1st house,
    • Any aspects to the Moon
