  • Date: July 13 @1:34 pm (ET)@ 10:34 am (PT)
  • Moon Sign: Taurus:  
  • Moon Phase: 4th
  • Void-off-Course: July 15 @11:21 pm (ET)8:21 pm (PT) to moon into Gemini a few hours later (PT) an on the Thursday (ET). Moon in Taurus v/c is one of the 4 “good signs”
  • House(s): 7th: 7th house of relationships/partnerships.
  • Opportunity Period: July 15 @ 7:16 am (ET) 4:16 am (PT) to moon into Gemini. A good time to wrap up what is already on your plate…

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. 
  • 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 it. 
  • 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… :) 
  • Relationship wise, some folks may become a little too “possessive” over loved ones… watch out for this type of behavior as it can have a negative affect on partners…  :)…. Patience is a virtue, and when it comes to any type of partnership it can also be a life saver…. 
  •  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.. 
  • When it comes to finances and possessions,..it may be good time to go through both. We could become rather wrapped up in such topics so tidy up the budget if it is looking a bit tattered… ;) Materially, chuck out what isn’t needed donate what you can and Use the Opportunity Time period to get some of this practical work done… :) 
  • With a Taurus moon in any house… it can be good for: Advertising to sell personal property: Moving: Painting
  • This moon sign will have more of an effect on those who have the following in their charts. Those with strong Libra and Scorpio placements in their charts will also be effected. 
    • Moon in Taurus,
    • Sun in Taurus,
    • Venus in Taurus
    • Sun in Libra
    • Moon in Libra
    • Venus in Taurus
    • Any aspects to the Moon, Venus.
    • Ascendant or Mid-heaven in Taurus
    • Those with a strong Scorpio influence will also be affected by this moon.

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.

  • 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 favorable time or a stressful one. 
  • Good time to watch, listen and learn
  • We may find we are looking at our “worth” now, including the salary we get paid. 
  • We are happy to work for our “keep”, knowing we are doing a good job. 
  • While the moon is in the sign of Capricorn it may be favorable for: Buying antiques, buying for speculation, and collecting on debts.

Full Moon and Lunar Eclipse in Capricorn

The full moon traditionally means endings, or completion… indicating this may be a good time to finish up projects already begun… This month’s Full Moon is in the 2nd phase, indicating it’s still a favorable time to work on projects, but we may not be able to get all (if any) completed. The message with this full moon then, is continue as you have been for the last little while, no hurry, no fuss. Being focused on our tasks could be easier now as the full moon falls in responsible, business-like Capricorn.   

When a Lunar Eclipse occurs it usually means that the moon’s influence’s will be stronger and can last from 6 to 12 months. This is only if the moon aspects your natal, progressed or solar arc chart positions. 

  • All of the above will be highlighted as the moon becomes full in this sign. Some of us may come across as seemingly unemotional, or too business like… this is great when dealing with business issues, but might not go down too well with close friends or loved ones. Take time out to really listen. 
  • This is a great time to get organized though, as we have a better understand that being organized helps us to be more productive.
  • Family business issues may be on the agenda for the next few days, especially those dealing with any of the more mature (elder) family member(s): Do what must be done, but don’t forget to give and take a little hug now and then.
  • Some folk may experience challenges with teenagers, workers or children, rules and guidelines may need to be set.
  • Those with a rebellious streak in their natures, such as Aquarius folk may not take kindly to any rules and regulations during this full moon, they are encouraged to keep their own council if the rules apply to a job, unless of course they are ready to move on to another.
  • Dealings with older folks, especially father types and authority figures may be on the agenda for some of us…

Present Moon Sign/Phase/House:

  • Date:  July 1 @ 9:21 pm (ET) 6:21 pm (PT)
  • Moon Sign: Sagittarius 
  • Moon Phase: 2nd
  • Void-of-Course: July 3 @ 9:06 am (ET) @ 6:06 am (PT) to Moon in Capricorn later that night for PT and Early July 4 for ET: Moon v/c in Sagittarius is one of the 4 void of course  “good signs”.
  • Opportunity Period: None
    • Sagittarius is the most “easy-going” of the fire signs and is ruled by Jupiter “the lucky planet” **Jupiter is currently in retrograde motion in the sign of Capricorn, to mid September.**
    • We are going to want our personal freedom now, so take care, those of you who have possessive or jealous tendencies, they might not be tolerated for the next couple of days. 
    • Because Sagittarius is ruled by Jupiter “the lucky planet” we may be feeling luckier then usual… Just take care not to go over the budget… :) 
    • Sagittarius can be blunt,  :( it’s good to keep in mind that others may be more sensitive… :) thinking before speaking is a good idea over the next few days… ;) 
    • We could have more energy for fun things such as music, sports and shows
    • It’s easier to try something new and exciting just take care not to get carried away.
    • Could be a good time to take a few days for rest, relaxation and laughter
    • Good time for making fantastic plans for the future. 
    • The moon in Sagittarius may be good for: Borrowing money, buying a vehicle, sending mail or starting a diet.
    • While this moon will have a slight effect on all of us… those with the following in their charts will feel it stronger, along with folks who have a strong Gemini or Cancer placement in their charts. 
  • Moon in Sagittarius
  • Moon in the 9th house
  • Ascendant in Sagittarius
  • Mid-heaven in Sagittarius
  • Sun in Sagittarius
  • Aspects to the Moon and Jupiter.

*** Notes***

Saturn makes a sign change at 7:37 pm (ET) 4:37 pm (PT) on July 1. Moving into the sign of Capricorn. Saturn is comfortable in this sign, because he rules Capricorn… this “connection” also makes both Saturn and Capricorn “stronger”. 

Saturn is the planet of discipline, authority and traditions… Capricorn is concerned about career, and image, and sometimes it means a desire to get ahead. Saturn is currently in retrograde motion. We can expect to focus on the essentials in life, like work, career, schooling etc… And we can also expect to do things over again, or find ourselves meeting up people from our past… Perhaps we will go over our family traditions… research jobs and career options… A good time for all of those things… Keep in mind that when planets are in retrograde motion, new projects, jobs, relationships don’t always go as planned… If you have to start anything now, be prepared for delays and do overs.

Sun Moves into Cancer June 20 2020: Summer Solstice June 20 2020: New Moon: Solar Eclipse

Illustration of cancer zodiac sign as a beautiful girl. Vector illustration. Stock Vector - 24677328

June 20 2020 The Sun moves into Cancer.

Cancer the Crab: Water: Feminine: Cardinal:

Cancer folk are always trying to take care of everyone. ☺Nurturing is in their nature, in fact it’s so inherent in these guys and gals that if they don’t have a family close by they will create one from the folks they spend time with. 

Emotional Cancer folk usually operate on ‘gut feelings’ and while they enjoy the company of others around them, spending some time alone in private can do wonders for the energy levels. Like the phases of the moon that rule Cancer, there are times to be out in front and there are times to take a back seat to rejuvenate. 

The thing to watch for with being a Cancerian is not to get caught up in the “needy market”… Depending on others to make one feel “better” is not the best way to explore the finer, points of one’s nature. We all love to have someone around us who wants to take care of us, but most of us don’t want to be “mothered” all of the time. :)

Most “crabs” or those with a “crab” influence are great in the kitchen, as feeding others is another way to say “I love you”. For these folk whipping something up for supper is hardly ever a problem (unless mum is feeling a little “crabby”). 

Cancer rules the breasts and stomach. Issue’s with the tummy are likely when under stress, during a full moon or when ignoring healthy eating habits. 

Sensitive by nature Cancer folk, may at times, imagine slights from others and become defensive or withdrawn (as a crab into its shell) in an effort to block any hurt. This is something that should be watched for especially during emotionally vulnerable times (menstruation/ovulation/work or family stress/full moon), actions taken or words spoken during this time may cause more upset than intended or needed. 

Warm Birthday Wishes :

Ian, Christine, Janine, Rose (cusp) And warm birthday wishes are sent to everyone celebrating a Cancerian birthday. 

 

 

 


Summer Solstice: June 20 2020

The 1st day of summer for 2020 and will be the longest day of the year and the shortest night for our hemisphere. A positive time where being outside is the norm along with spending time with loved ones and friends. Summer is a celebration of all things light and who couldn’t use some light after the dark days of winter… :) 

As we welcome summer 2020 we give thanks to Mother Earth. 

&

After the strange and challenging time we have had so far this year, let us hope for a better future, of fun, laughter, love and prosperity… 


New Moon in Cancer June 20 2020:

 

Traditionally the new moon is a good time to begin new projects, relationships, school etc… However, we have a number of planets in retrograde motion at present, making this an erratic time to begin anything…

Date: June 20 @ 11:02 pm (PT) June 20 @ 2:02 am (ET)

Moon Phase: In the 4th 

Moon void of course: June 23 @ 3:20 (ET) @ 12:20 am (PT) to Moon into Leo on the 23rd. 

Opportunity Time: June 22 @ 11:30 pm (ET) @ 8:30 pm (PT) to void of course: Good for practical matters… keep in mind all the retrograde planets that are happening now. 

June Retrograde Planets: 

  • Mercury: Planet of communication, transportation, technology… Begins June 18th
  • Venus: Planet of money, relationships and beauty: Ends June 26th
  • Jupiter:   Planet of expansion, luck and exaggeration: All Month
  • Saturn:   Planet of restrictions, authority and traditions: All Month
  • Neptune: Planet of imagination, the unknown, psychic ability, lies and deception… Begins June 23rd
  • Pluto: Planet of death/regeneration, sex, shared money, Insurance All Month 

  • The Moon rules Cancer, so it is comfortable in this sign…
  • Cancer moon is sensitive, caring and nurturing… she can also be moody and perceived as being needy. Take care not to over react during this new moon, if you are upset about something, make sure you have the facts before believing someone really meant to cause your harm or hurt your feelings…
  • Get out your cooking pots, the BBQ or your baking trays, cooking and baking are soothing activities for Cancer folk, especially if they can do so for loved ones… Gardening can also be fun and relaxing for those with a bit of earth in their charts…
  • As we approach this New Moon, take care to have a positive outlook, think about what you would like to bring into your life to enhance it… make notes of any projects you would like to begin, draw up plans if you are so inclined :)
  • The last few months have been challenging for everyone, we are all beginning to become a bit restless with this way of life (COVID-19)… It is time to come out of our homes again, yet we need to take care still… Frustrations are bound to occur, making this New Moon time an extra special time to be thinking on the positive end of things… :)
  • All moon in Cancer Traits will be stronger during the full moon, the full moon will affect everyone, however, those with Cancer chart influences and/or Capricorn chart influences will feel the affects more. As will those who have the following in their charts: 
  • Moon in Cancer
  • Sun in Cancer
  • Moon in the 4th house
  • Any aspects to the ascendant or midheaven

Notes ***

 June 21 is Father’s Day… Happy Dad day :)


June 21: Solar Eclipse:

We can be more erratic and emotional during eclipses, it is best to wait out an eclipse before beginning anything or signing anything important papers… if you have to sign anything or commit to anything during this time, take care to check out all the angles. :) If your birthday falls on an eclipse or on the day before or after an eclipse, the year ahead could be an important turning point in your life… stay positive and a positive year ahead is possible.
