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.
Moon Sign: Capricorn at 11:31 am (ET) 8:31 am (PT)
Moon Phase: 1st quarter, waxing (increasing in light).
Void-off-Course: Yes: November 26 2014 10:30 am (ET) 7:30 am (PT): Capricorn does not work well with the void off course moon.
House: 6th: House of health, details and service to others
Opportunity Period: Continues from Sunday until 11:30 (ET) 8:30 (PT)
What does it all mean?
Capricorn is business, duty and discipline. She is ruled by Saturn, the planet of restrictions.
We may be more in tune with our work/career or vocational direction. However hold off on making changes right now due to the Mercury Retrograde.
Change may be more challenging to deal with, and we may be resistant towards it…
Being disciplined towards our “duties/chores” may be easier to achieve.
Dealings with the elderly may be in focus.
Dealings with “authority” types, such as teachers, principles, supervisor’s may be in focus. Being respectful of such positions may help to alleviate tension.
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.
Rules and regulations may be in focus, and depending on how you deal with these, it could be a favourable time or a stressful one.
Good time to watch, listen and learn
Future goals will be at the top of the list, so be prepared for extra hours spent at work.
Domestic issues may have to take a “back seat” for a few days.
In the 6th house, Health care issues may be in focus or trips to the doctor’s for test and follow ups…Physical exercise could be on our minds, however, getting it done may be another matter :) We may also be happier to be of service to others, or we may resent all that we have to do for others…
We are happy to work for our “keep”, knowing we are doing a good job.
This moon sign will have more of an effect on those who have the following in their charts.
Sagittarius is optimistic and ruled by the planet of expansion, and sometimes known as the “lucky planet” Jupiter.
The enthusiasm of these wonderful people can spread like wildfire, engaging everyone they meet and spreading the wonder of life where ever they go. :)
Sometimes the quest for “more” can get out of control and become a challenging aspect in close personal relationships, as the desire to experience new places, people and things can be tiring to partners who are of a more sedate nature.
Routine can be boring for Sagittarius folk and don’t even think about taking control over their lives. Don’t try to “hold them to you” as they will either leave you, or the relationship will likely end up being one of misery :(
The number one need of a Sagittarius is FREEDOM…. Freedom to explore, to learn, to experience… The Freedom to live life to the fullest…
We thank you Sagittarius, for showing us how to have fun and how to laugh at ourselves and your belief that laughter truly is the best medicine…. :)
Happy Birthday to some wonderful Sagittarians I am blessed to know… Lori and Samantha… have a fabulous birthday ladies and an awesome year ahead….
if you are celebrating under this zodiac sign the folks at SGC wish you a Happy Birthday and a year ahead filled with goodness.….
Note:This is the also the date of the New Moon in Sagittarius… be sure of what you wish for if your birthday falls on this date…. With Jupiter and the Moon both moving into Sagittarius along with the moon renewing herself, you might just get what you wish for… :)

Void-off-Course: Yes:November 19 @ 9:25 am (ET) 6:25 am (P
T) Until 12:31 am November 20 (ET)/10:30 pm November 19 (PT): Moon v/c in Libra is not one of the 4 void off course “good signs” (see above).
House: 3rd: House of siblings, short journeys, day-to-day happenings and school days.
Opportunity Period: Yes: In the wee hours of the morning of November 19 (ET) and the late hours of November 18 (PT).. this o/p is good for night owls and very early risers.
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 3rd house, we may be more aware of all the things we do on an everyday basis. We may also find we are taking more short trips. We can find short cuts for just about everything now… but some may be superficial.. Child hood memories may be in focus now, or dealings with the school system.
This moon sign will affect us all but will have more of an effect on those who have the following in their charts.
SGC Admin: Recently, on Facebook a story has been circulating regarding the compassionate efforts of an elderly gentleman and two of his helpers to feed the homeless of Fort Lauderdale, Florida.
The story reported that these compassionate folk had been arrested for feeding the homeless at an outdoor venue.
Such a story created negative emotions, such as anger and upset towards the city of Fort Lauderdale, its police force and it’s Mayor Jack Seiler. This reaction is understandable, but it is also a reminder that not all we read, see or hear through the media and those who feel they are the media is true or contains all of the facts.
Our SGC team was upset by the story, but wondered if it was whole… and so when we came across an email address for Mayor Seiler we thought it was the perfect opportunity to find out what the“other side” had to say. We were hoping for a reply to our email, but we also understand the enormous amount of emails, mail and daily responsibilities that city council members have to tend to…
We are pleased to report that we received a timely reply from Mayor Seiler, who was understandably disappointed with the information that had so far been presented to the world regarding his Cities efforts to assist the homeless.
From what we can gather, the City of Fort Lauderdale is doing everything in its power to assist the homeless, while maintaining a safe place for everyone, including all citizens, those with homes and those without, and visitors.
We encourage you to read the email (below) from Mayor Seiler and come to your own conclusions… We also encourage you to keep in mind the following adage when viewing any information presented on media outlets… “there are 3 sides to a story, yours, mine and the truth”
I appreciate the opportunity to clarify much of the misinformation that has been prevalent in the media recently regarding the homeless.
Contrary to reports, the City of Fort Lauderdale is not banning groups from feeding the homeless. We have established an outdoor food distribution ordinance to ensure the health, safety and welfare of our community. The ordinance does not prohibit feeding the homeless; it regulates the activity in order to ensure it is carried out in an appropriate, organized, clean and healthy manner.
While the ordinance regulates outdoor food distribution, it permits indoor food distribution to take place at houses of worship throughout the City. By allowing houses of worship to conduct this activity, the City is actually increasing the number of locations where the homeless can properly receive this service.
At two recent outdoor food distributions, citations were rightly issued for non-compliance with the process enacted to ensure public health and safety. Contrary to what was reported in the media, no one was taken into custody. Had these activities taken place indoors, at a house of worship, they would have been in full compliance with the ordinance.
Experts agree, however, that homeless individuals need more than just food. The homeless need shelter, clothing, and comprehensive medical and social services in order to help them get back on their feet.
To set the record straight, few cities have done more for the homeless than Fort Lauderdale. We are taking a comprehensive approach by working with numerousagencies, non-profit, charitable and faith-based organizations that, like us, are dedicated to effectively addressing this complex and important issue. Our overarching goal is to provide a long-term comprehensive solution for the homeless population. While aiming for that goal, we are concurrently working to protect public safety and maintain quality of life for our neighbors, businesses and visitors.
Our efforts include:
Fort Lauderdale was the first City in South Florida to establish a dedicated Homeless Assistance Unit as part of its Police Department. This Unit makes approximately 8,000 referrals a year working with the homeless to provide them with access to housing, critical medical care and social services. The award-winning initiative stands as a model that has been replicated by local, state, and national police departments and law enforcement agencies across the country.
Fort Lauderdale is home to the only full service comprehensive Homeless Assistance Center in Broward County. The Center has been operating here since 1999. Recently, the Fort Lauderdale City Commission unanimously passed an ordinance allowing the Homeless Assistance Center to expand its size and scope of operations to accommodate more beds and serve more homeless.
The City maintains an active partnership with Mission United, an organization dedicated to providing housing and social services to homeless Veterans.
In addition to Mission United, the City maintains partnerships, provides resources and support to Broward County, the Broward Partnership for the Homeless, Housing Authority of the City of Fort Lauderdale, Salvation Army of Broward County, United Way of Broward County, Hope South Florida, and the Task Force for Ending Homelessness. These partnerships represent an outstanding example of how homelessness needs to be addressed – by bringing together a variety of agencies and organizations to collaborate, share resources, and leverage strengths in a unified effort to comprehensively impact homelessness through the coordination and delivery of essential programs and services.
Fort Lauderdale is the only city in South Florida and one of 235 communities in the United States taking part in the 100,000 Homes Campaign, a national effort to move disabled, chronically homeless people from the street to a place of their own. Using the motto “Housing First,” the campaign reverses the traditional approach that required the homeless to go through addiction counseling and job training before earning a roof over their heads.
Through the Housing First program, Fort Lauderdale is providing the most vulnerable homeless individuals with housing, medical, and social services. The program is funded by a $441,000 federal grant that the City of Fort Lauderdale secured from HUD. It is currently providing permanent supportive housing for 22 chronically homeless people.
The City is proud to report that our initiative was recently re-funded by HUD. During the current year, we will have an additional $455,000 to continue to operate and expand this effort to serve even more chronic and vulnerable homeless inour City.
As part of our comprehensive strategy, the City has passed new ordinances that aim to reduce the public safety hazards and inappropriate nuisance activities that are negatively impacting our community. As a City, we have a responsibility to ensure that all of our public spaces are accessible and can be safely enjoyed by everyone – families, children, residents andvisitors.
Our quality of life in Fort Lauderdale and our economic viability are directly linked to our stewardship of public spaces. The City continues to provide leadership in the implementation of innovative ideas to protect our quality of life while ensuring continued funding for programs and initiatives that address humanitarian needs.
The City, our neighbors, and our businesses have a long and distinguished history of compassion toward those in need.
If you would like to make a contribution to local non-profit agencies that help fund homeless assistance, substance abuse, and community support services in Fort Lauderdale, please visit: www.fortlauderdale.gov/give
Again, thank you for your interest in this important humanitarian issue
