  • Date: April 29 @2:59pm(ET) @11:59am(PT)
  • Moon Sign: Virgo
  • Moon Phase: 2nd
  • Void-off-Course: May 1 @7:53pm(ET) @4:53pm(PT) to moon into Libra late night on the 11th (PT) Early hours on the 12th (ET): Virgo 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?

  • Virgo is all about the details, so be prepared to see to them, or at least have someone else see to them for you. 
  • Try not to worry about things you have no control over, especially things that might not ever happen… Because Virgo “see’s” all the details others miss, it’s hard for her not to worry… 
  • It’s good to keep busy during a Virgo moon, make lists, tidy, organize, plan, find solutions to problems… a lot can get done now
  • Virgo can be more critical than the rest of the zodiac, but only because she so needs things to be “correct” or “perfect”. If you are an employer, be prepared that tasks may not get completed exactly the way you had expected, be gentle and patient. 😊
  • The Moon in Virgo can be good for the following activities:
  • Break Habits (Better if in the moon is in the 3rd or 4th quarter):
  • Canning foods (Better if in the moon is in the 3rd or 4th quarter):
  • Fixing Cars:
  • Hair cut for less growth (Better if in the moon is in the 3rd or 4th quarter):
  • Mowing the lawn to retard growth (Better if in the moon is in the 3rd or 4th quarter):
  • Sending Mail:
  • Starting a diet (Better if in the moon is in the 3rd or 4th quarter): 
  • This moon sign will have more of an effect on those who have the following in their charts. 
  • Moon in Virgo
  • Sun in Virgo
  • Ascendant in Virgo
  • Mid-heaven in Virgo
  • Moon in 6th house
  • Any aspects to the Moon or Mercury.
  • And those who have a strong Pisces placement in their charts..

NOTES:

May 1: Beltane, or May Day, a Pagan Celebration. https://www.mabonhouse.co/beltane

May 1: Pluto begins his “backwards” journey as he goes into Retrograde Motion in the sign of Aquarius. Pluto represents, death and regeneration, he is connected to the 8th house of other peoples money, mortgaged and insurance. He is the rule of the sign Scorpio. When a planet goes retrograde, it usually means that we need to redo some things, or we may need to re-arrange… the live area affected will likely be finances, (in the area’s mentioned above). If we have been holding on to relationships, situations, career’s, jobs or ideas, that no longer serve your purpose, you may be presented with a way to put an end to such emotionally/mentally draining situations. Keep in mind that change isn’t easy, so take it slow, try not to resist the inevitable. When all is said and done, the positive and the reasons why such endings were needed will become clear. Aquarius is the sign of “future sight” he looks forward and is interested in all things new, especially technology, he is a humanitarian and a rebel. 

Mercury is also in retrograde motion, in the sign of Taurus, Taurus is connected to the 2nd house of finances and security. Expect delays and misunderstandings re: communications. Disruptions in technology and electronic items.  And possible break downs in transportation. On the UPSIDE, retrograde Mercury, also gives us a chance to redo somethings and re fix errors, and move ourselves towards positive changes, in this case in the area’s of finances, comfort and security, such as our homes.

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… 

  • 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.

  • Try not to over react, and if it’s not you doing the over reacting, try not to get caught up in the drama, or to encourage the one doing the over reacting
  • It’s a good time to check out the local talent, take in a downtown show, get starry-eyed with your lover, or perhaps look for a new one, as romance is high on the Agenda under this influence.

  • 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.

The Moon and Astrology: How it affects our daily life…Transiting Moon in Taurus: Sun into Taurus: Mercury Retrograde: April 2023

Present Moon Sign/Phase/House:

  • Date: April 19 2023 @9:30pm(PT) April 20 @12:30am (ET)
  • Moon Sign: Taurus: ♉
  • Moon Phase: 4th moves into the 1st on April 21
  • Void-of-Course: April 21 @ 11:41 pm (ET) @ 8:41pm(PT) to moon into Gemini the next day.
  • Opportunity Period: April 21 @8:09am(ET) @5:09am(PT) to moon into Gemini: “Mercury is retrograde and we are now between two eclipses. It is best to focus and use this OP for practical matters.” Paula Belluomini
  • 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. 
  • Taurus has lots of patience, indicating this could be a good time to deal with people/projects/situations that take up more time than is liked. 
  • 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 them. 
  • Take your time when the moon is in this sign, there is no need to hurry, and you probably won’t get very far if you do… so sit back and enjoy the ride… 🙂 
  • 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.. 
  • This moon sign will have more of an effect on those who have the following in their charts. Those with strong Scorpio placements in their charts will also be effected. 
    • Moon in Taurus,
    • Sun in Taurus,
    • Venus in Taurus
    • Moon in the 2nd house
    • Any aspects to the Moon, Venus.
    • Ascendant or Mid-heaven in Taurus

Notes:

  • April 20th: New Moon Solar Eclipse in 29 degrees Aries @ 12:13 am: Please see our previous post to find out what this means. 
  • April 20: The Sun enters into the sign of Taurus @4:14 am (ET) @1:14 am(PT). Taurus is ruled by Venus and is connected to the 2nd house of finances. She is sensual, patient and concerned about personal security, comfort and finances. Much of the time her sense of security is linked to her finances, and assets, such as owning her own home. She can be stubborn, and there isn’t much hope of shifting her once her mind is made up. While she has tons of patience, she has a limit, it is best not to take her for granted for too long. Speed isn’t her strong point, particularly when it comes to academics, but that doesn’t mean she isn’t smart, it takes her a bit longer because she is determined to understand. We appreciate our Taurus brother and sister’s Happy Birthday Taurus Humans… Enjoy your special days, we wish you all a good year ahead. 🎂🍨🍻🍹
  • April 21: Ramadan Ends
  • April 21: Mercury goes retrograde. Mercury will not be completely clear of his retrograde motion until May 24. However, from May 14 to 24 he will be less “cranky” as he turns direct on the 14th… 😊Mercury will be in the sign of Taurus during this retrograde “season”. Mercury rules Virgo and Gemini.. He is connected to our thoughts and the way we communicate. Taurus is ruled by Venus. Our thoughts may drift towards our personal comfort, security and finances. Mercury is the head of transportation, communication and technology, and when he goes retrograde, he can get a bit “sloppy” in these area’s, transportation upsets, especially in the area of electronics, communication mishaps, cell phones and lap tops acting weird are all possibilities as Mercury takes a “holiday” from his responsibilities. 😉So what can we do to move through this? We can’t stop things from breaking down, we can’t take back words that have been said, However, we CAN take a bit more care in how we move through day, we can make sure that the gas tank is full enough before we head out, we can decide to take the car in for that needed repair, we can check and double check our emails and texts before hitting the send button… and we can walk away from the lap top, computer, or machine, that is making us so frustrated because it refuses to work, no matter what we do, giving ourselves a well deserved break.😊😎 Those are the small things we can do to help us through, for the big things like horror travel issues, delayed or cancelled travel plans, broken or missing phones.. we can only lower our expectations while hoping for the best possible outcomes… And sometimes, the challenges faced, and changes that happen which are beyond our control, can turn out to be in our best interest. 😊

The Moon and Astrology: How it affects our daily life…Transiting New Moon in Aries, Solar Eclipse, Sun into Taurus, April 2023

Present Moon Sign/Phase/House:

  • Date: April 17 2023 @ 9:09pm (ET) @ 6:09pm (PT) 
  • Moon Sign: Aries 
  • Moon Phase: 4th.
  • Void-off-Course: April 19 @ 9:13 pm (PT) April 20 @ 12:13 am (ET). Moon v/c in Aries is not one of the 4 “good signs” Make sure you get all the facts before making any commitments..
  • Opportunity Period: None
  • The New Moon occurs in last degrees of Aries on April 19th @9:13 pm (PT) and on April 20th @12:13 am (ET). The influence of the Aries moon will be stronger during this time. Take extra care when driving, and if you suffer from headaches you may need to stay away from whatever triggers them for a day or two.
  • We can be more impatient than usual, so try and stay away from folk and situations that “push your buttons”.  
  • If you have extra energy or feel restless during this New Moon, try doing something physical (exercise, walking, or playing a sport). Pent up energy is likely to come out negatively if coupled with impatience.
  • The new moon is traditionally the time to start new projects, new business and new relationships.. it’s a time to move into that “first place”, to enter into the work force for the 1st time, change jobs or job responsibilities.. however, it is suggested we wait a day or two until the moon has settled into her new cycle. 
  • The Moon will move into the sign of Taurus on April 19 @ 9:30 pm (PT) on April 20 @ 12:30 am (ET). As it is so close in timing to the New Moon/Solar Eclipse event, it is possible that the Fire of Aries may be slightly tamed by the earth of Taurus… slowing things down a little bit.

Note Quote: “Top Astrological event of the week: Thursday (April 20 2023) New Moon Solar Eclipse in Aries in square aspect with Pluto (in 0 degrees Aquarius): Rebel spirits will fight back against authoritarian control. Thanks to a loose sextile with Saturn, this is an excellent period to start building local structures and independent networks outside of the mainstream.” Michell Perrin-Llewellyn’s 2023 Daily Planetary Guide

What does it all mean?

  • Aries is action, he is the most masculine of the Zodiac signs, he is ruled by Mars (The God of War)
  • We may have more energy when the moon is in Aries
  • We are happy to defend our loved ones
  • We are apt to speak up, even those of us who consider ourselves to be “timid” can find our voice. 
  • May be a good time to get your message across, or to ask for what you need
  • Be careful when driving especially when upset or angry
  • We may be more susceptible to head injuries or head aches
  • We could be eager to start new projects
  • Be careful while engaging in physical activities, we may feel stronger or more “heroic” at the moment but our bodies might not be in the same “zone” 🙂 
  • We may be more decisive than usual, as always use caution 😎… 
  • Be careful about saying yes to everything right now, we might feel like we can handle more, but when the time comes we could be sorry we took on so much at once. 
  • Being healthy and feeling good so we can help others, or at the very least get our chores done, may be on the agenda for the next few days. .
  • Adults with a strong Mars or Aries influence may be acting more like children than adults. 😋
  • Some of us could be insensitive, or appear selfish to others.
  • The Moon in Aries will have a slight effect on all of us, but it will have more of an effect on those who have the following in their charts: Along with those who have a strong  Libra placement in their charts
    • Moon in Aries:
    • Sun in Aries:
    • Ascendant or Midheaven in Aries:
    • Mars in Aries:
    • Moon in the 1st:
