Wow, lots of information here, thanks Ruby…. :)
SGC Admin: Back from vacation… :)
Hi folks… we are back from a very fun and relaxing vacation…

We had never experienced an all inclusive holiday resort, and it was high time that we did… While it is very different from our usual vacations, it was a lot of fun… the folks at the resort work so hard to make everyone’s stay a happy and safe time… :)
The entertainment crew, were just awesome, they did a great job at everything they did… be it encouraging folks to partake in water areobics, bingo, salsa lessons, or the many other fun games they come up with, to putting on fantastic shows in the evening… wonderful set desgins, beautiful costumes and just so much fun to watch….
Thanks to our sister Michelle, who encouraged and helped us financially to make this fun in the sun, rolling the ocean vacation possible, partly in honour of Hubby’s retirement… :)
WARNING If you are fair skined, or have thin hair on the top of you head… YOU MUST USE: Sunscreen: A wide brimed hat or baseball cap: Sunglasses. Especially if going in the ocean,… it is very easy to burn under the Mexican Sun…. severe burns include swelling and blistering… ALOE VERA is your friend. :)

SGC staff are slowly getting back into some sort of a routine, :) but after the last few years and the experiences they have brought us on a personal level, we are more inclined towards focusing on the fun side of life. :)
Please bear with us if our responses to your emails are slow in coming, or if our posts aren’t always updated as quickly as they “should” be … :) we haven’t forgotten, we are just loving life, and we WILL get back to you… :)
The Moon and Astrology: How it affects our daily life: Transiting moon into Taurus August 2017
Present Moon Sign/Phase/House:

- Date: August 13 @ 6:40 am (ET) 3:40 am (PT)
- Moon Sign: Taurus:
- Moon Phase: 3rd
- Void-of-Course: August 14 9:15 pm (ET) 6:15 pm (PT) to moon in Gemini on the morning of the 15th: Moon in Taurus v/c is one of the 4 “good signs”
- House(s): 7th: house of Relationships & Partnerships…
- Opportunity Period: July 18 12:01 pm (ET) 9:01 am (PT) to moon into Gemini on the 19th.
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.
- Those with strong fire signs (especially Aries) may get impatient with those who are slower at making up their minds, take care not to push too hard guys and gals, it won’t get things moving any faster if you are dealing with folks who have a strong Taurus inclination.
- 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… 🙂
- In the 7th house: Relationships and Partnerships are on the agenda… folks close to our hearts will be on our minds.. This could be a good time to take care of financial issues relating to partners, including business partners and family members.
- 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.
- Moon in Taurus,
- Sun in Taurus,
- Venus in Taurus
- Sun in Libra
- Moon in Libra
- Moon in the 2nd house
- Moon in the 7th house
- Any aspects to the Moon, Venus.
- Ascendant or Mid-heaven in Taurus
- Those with strong Libra or Venus placements in their charts may also be effected.
- Note**Saturn in Sagittarius, Neptune in Pisces and Pluto in Capricorn are in retrograde motion. When planets are in retrograde motion, and especially when more than one planet is retrograde at a given time, we can expect delays, misunderstandings, re-doing, re-assessing, re-modelling… Issues from the past may resurface, and situations may repeat themselves. Life is unlikely to be moving full steam ahead… patience is advised, along with checking and double checking our work and communication skills… If you don’t understand something, ask… even if you feel “silly” doing so, it’s better to ask now and find out what you need to know, instead of waiting for some time in the future to find out you may have made the wrong decision based on the “wrong” information.

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-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…
Good for Void-Of-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.

- The time may be right to understand/learn about new technology, such as a new phone, tablet or t.v.
- 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…if you are o.k. with change, it’s possible to make long-term plan changes now..
- Could be a good time for inventions, putting pen to paper is more appropriate at this time, instead of going full steam ahead with concrete plans.

- This moon sign will have more of an effect on those who have the following in their charts. And too will those with strong Cancer or Leo placing in their charts.
- The next few days may be positive for: Joining a club, borrowing money, fixing cars, hair care (colors and chemical treatments), moving, painting, pouring cement, starting a new job or new construction.

There is a FULL MOON, Lunar Eclipse on Monday August 7th in the sign of Aquarius. All of the above traits will be stronger and will have the strongest effect on those who have strong Aquarius, Leo and Cancer placings in their charts. The full moon is a good time to wind down projects, finish things up or gets things moving towards the final stage(s). Because this months full moon happens Aquarius, these endings are most likely to affect the following area’s: Friends, politics or humanitarian events. The Eclipse brings an unsettling or unsteady influence into the day. Because of this it is better to leave the following things until later in the week if you can: Elective surgery, important events and the arranging of them and or the signing of any important documents. The influence of the Eclipse can have an effect on anyone and everyone.
