The Moon and Astrology: How it affects our daily life…Transiting Moon in Capricorn January 2023

Present Moon Sign/Phase/House:

Copyright : Elena Besedina
  • Date: January 19 @ 2:11 pm (ET) @ 11:11 am (PT)
  • Moon Sign: Capricorn
  • Moon Phase: 4th
  • Void-of-Course: January 21 @ 10:52 am (ET) @ 7:52 am (PT) to moon into Aquarius a short time later: Capricorn Moon v/c is not one of the 4 “good signs”
  • Opportunity Period: None

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.
    • 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 favorable time or a stressful one. 
    • Good time to watch, listen and learn
    • This moon sign will have more of an effect on those who have the following in their charts. And those who have a strong  Cancer placing in their charts. 
    • Moon in Capricorn
    • Moon in Cancer (to a lessor degree)
    • Sun in Capricorn
    • Saturn in Capricorn
    • Moon in 10th house
    • Ascendant or Midheaven in Capricorn 
  • NOTES:
  • Mercury turns direct on January 18th @ 8:12 am (ET) @ 5:12 am (PT). While communications may still get mixed up, and technology glitches may still be occurring, along with some transportation or vehicle challenges… Hopefully these will only be disruptive for the next few days. By the 21st these life area’s should finally settle down again… 🙂 Double check your date books for the next few days.
  • The Sun enters into the sign of Aquarius ♒ on January 20th @ 3:30 am (ET) @ 12:30 am (PT). Aquarius is the opposite sign to Leo on the wheel, so whatever affects Aquarius folks will also affect Leo’s, although to a much lessor extent. Aquarius ruled by the planet Uranus, is like a “jack of all trades”, These folks enjoy group, team or community work, and many exhibit humanitarian tendencies. Our Aquarius brothers and sisters, have a uncanny ability to “see into the future” especially when it comes to new fangled technology or tools of their trade. Creative and intelligent, with a bit of a stubborn streak, and sometimes a bit of an “airy fairy” attitude to life, Aquarius, while being an air sign, who are mostly resistant to confrontations, has a rebellious side and they aren’t afraid to bring it out at the oddest of times… (A direct Uranus connection, Uranus is the planet of chaos and surprises.) The Sun is said to be in Detriment when in he sign of Aquarius. When a planet is in detriment, the energies of that planet are less prominent, perhaps, weaker… For Aquarius this may translate into a hesitation when it comes to doing things for ones self. You may put the needs of others before you own… This is fabulous, but only if it doesn’t lead to negative self talk or feelings of resentment when time run short and you can’t get to do the things you enjoy. Growth is possible with the Sun in Aquarius, however, such growth may not go as one would have anticipated. Let your light shine anyway, especially on that most special of days, the day that you were born… 😁
  • We wish all Aquarius (January 20th to February 19th 2023) an absolutely fabulous Born Day… 🎂🍨🍰

  • 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, but will carry the influence of the sign it was just in… this is called, Void of Course…and can mess us up for a few hours,… 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…. But there is help, as there are 4 signs in the zodiac which may prove positive during the Void-of-Course moon… 
  • Cancer
  • Taurus
  • Sagittarius
  • Pisces…

Opportunity Periods:

  • 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.

    • Good time to watch, listen and learn

    • 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. And those who have a strong  Cancer placing in their charts.

NOTES:

The Full Moon occurred on June 14th @23 degrees and 25 minutes ♐Sagittarius, at 7:52 am(ET) @ 4:52 am(PT). June’s Full Moon is known as “the Strawberry Moon”. Sagittarius is a freedom loving sign, she is high energy being a fire sign. The full moon represents ends of cycles, the ending of jobs, relationships, friendships, situations and sometimes the end of life itself. Coming full circle, ending old habits, moving away from people, places and situations, doesn’t always mean it’s a sad time. It can be a time of joy and of excitement, as new possibilities are in the wings, meeting new people, finding new talents within oneself, are all possibilities after the moon becomes full..

When we lose a loved one however, it is harder to find the joy… no matter if it was “time” for that loved one, being separated from our loved ones is hard… Give yourself time, allow yourself to grieve, remember the good times and share your memories with others… in time the hurt dims, and the healing begins… ❤💖

  • Date: January 10 @9:47 am (ET) 6:47 am (PT)
  • Moon Sign: Taurus: 
  • Moon Phase: 2nd
  • Void-of-Course: January 12 @ 2:39 pm (ET) @ 11:39 (PT) to moon into Gemini a few hours later:  Moon in Taurus v/c is one of the 4 “good signs”.
  • Opportunity Period: January 11 @11:54 am(ET) @ 8:54 am(PT) to moon into Gemini on the 12th. “This productive OP is good for ambitious projects, but with Mercury moving slowly, concentrate on practical matters” Paula Belluomini  

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 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 affected. 
    • Moon in Taurus,
    • Sun in Taurus,
    • Venus in Taurus
    • Sun in Scorpio
    • Moon in Scorpio
    • Any aspects to the Moon, Venus.
    • Ascendant or Mid-heaven in Taurus

  • Notes:
  • Mercury enters “storm” Monday, January 10th.
  • Treat the “storm” period as you would the retrograde.
  • Best to continue with projects already in play, this is not the best time to begin anything new.. However, if you do have to, have patience and be prepared for some delays and set backs in play.
  • Transportation back logs, car break downs or repairs are to be expected.
  • Technology black outs, cell phone mishaps, computer slow downs and crashes are also to be expected.
  • Mercury also rules communications, take care with you words, double check your emails before hitting the send button, and be prepared to redo some writings along the way. If you are a writer by trade or hobby, you could face few “blocked” days.
  • Messages could get lot or be misinterpreted. It’s o.k. to ask someone to repeat themselves, and no question is a silly one. 🙂
  • Delays in the mail/post, should also be expected.

The Moon and Astrology: How it affects our daily life…Transiting Moon in Pisces. January 2022

Present Moon Sign/Phase/House:

  • Date: January 5 @ 7:17 pm (ET) @ 4:17 pm (PT)
  • Moon Sign: Pisces
  • Moon Phase: 1st
  • Void-off-Course: January 7th @ 5:23 pm (ET) @ 2:23 pm (PT) to moon into Aries late night on the 7th (PTJ) Early morning on the 8th (ET). Pisces is a fortunate sign for the Void of Course moon. 
  • Opportunity Period: January 6 @ 10:56 pm (PT) January 7 @1:56 am (ET) until moon into Aries on the 7th (PT) on the 8th (ET): “Perfect time to reconnect with people from the pat or take steps to improve your relationships while Venus is retrograde” Paula Belluomini. 

What does it all mean?

  • Pisces is compassionate and caring but can be taken for granted
  • Sometimes Pisces isn’t about helping others but helping oneself. 
  • We can be more psychic during a Pisces moon, but we can also be easily deceived, so be sure of the “messages” received during this time.
  • Be careful if something sounds too good to be true, look for the hidden agenda
  • We can be susceptible to taking in stray animals and stray people now. 
  • Our hearts can be broken or melted during this time depending on what may be revealed now. 
  • Feeling more spiritually connected at this time, esoteric and spiritual subjects may be of more interest to some of us. 
  • However, keep an open mind when delving into new spiritual situations, ask questions and don’t believe everything you hear or see. 
  • We can be wistful, impressionable, nostalgic and dreamy now.
  • The moon in Pisces will have more of an effect on those who have the following in their charts: Folks with strong Virgo chart placements will feel this influence more than most, but likely less than those with Pisces chart influences. 
  • Moon in Pisces:
  • Sun in Pisces:
  • Moon in the 12th house
  • Aspects to the Moon or Neptune
  • Neptune in Pisces: (Note: Transiting Neptune is in the sign of Pisces for the rest of the year). 
  • Ascendant or Mid-Heaven in Pisces

  • NOTES: Neptune in ♓
    Astrology Dice with zodiac symbol of Pisces and its ruling planet Neptune



  • Neptune rules Pisces, making this a strong astrological connection. (Neptune is domicile in Pisces)
  • Things are not always what they seem
  • Deception is everywhere
  • Check your facts from reliable sources
  • Connections with esoteric subjects possible
  • May feel more inclined toward fantasy then fact
  • Some folks may feel the pull towards a new belief system, or the desire to reconnect with an old one
  • Take care regarding escapist behaviours
  • This planetary movement will have a slight affect on us all, but will have a stronger affect on those who have strong Neptune or Pisces connections in the birth chart.
