  • Date: April 1 @4:26pm (ET) @1:26pm (PT)
  • Moon Sign: Gemini:
  • Moon Phase: 1st
  • Void-of-Course: April 3 @2:26pm (ET) @11:26am (PT) to moon into Cancer a few hours later
  • Opportunity Period: None


What does it all mean?

  • Gemini is an air sign and needs lots of stimuli. She is ruled by Mercury and is connected to the 3rd house.
  • The 3rd house is the house of: day-to-day travel/affairs and siblings…
  • We could find ourselves busy with multiple things going on, even if they are just in our own minds… 
  • Dealings with family, especially siblings, may occur. Memories are shared and possible solutions to old problems can be found. 
  • We may find we are trying to do multiple things at once, which may not go exactly as we may have planned. If you do find you have tons of ideas spinning around in your head, take pen to paper and 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, and 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
  • A new study could be on the cards for some of us.. 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.
  • Boredom may be at our door step and we may feel more restless than usual. 
  • This moon sign will have more of an effect on those who have the following in their charts.
        • Sun in Gemini
        • Moon in Gemini
        • Moon in the 3rd house
        • Moon or Sun in Sagittarius
        • Any aspects to the Moon or Mercury

NOTES:

  • April 1st: April Fools Day: Anyone know the origin of April’s Fools Day? I was going to ask Grok, but thought I would ask you guys instead… ☺
  • Mercury, who is the ruler of Gemini and Virgo,  is currently in Retrograde motion. He will be a little unsettled and maybe confused during this time, it’s not a time for new beginnings, it’s more a time of reflection and re-doing what needs to get redone…
  • Venus, who rules Libra and Taurus is also in retrograde motion… it’s best to wait until after April the 12th to begin important projects, if you can’t wait, do your due diligence, just to cover all your basis… be prepared for mixed messages. Venus rules over beauty and money.

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  

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.

  • Moon Phase: 2nd
  • Void-of-Course: June 23 @11:05pm (ET) @8:05pm (PT) to moon into Aquarius a few minutes later. Capricorn Moon v/c is not one of the 4 “good signs” Try not to make any important decisions or commitments now. 
  • Opportunity Period: None
  • Full Moon June 21

What does it all mean?

  • Capricorn is business, duty and discipline. She is ruled by Saturn, the planet of restrictions. 
  • We may be more motivated in our career or work direction 
  • Dealings with the elderly may be in focus. 
  • Dealings with “authority” types, such as teachers, principles, supervisor’s may be in focus. 
  • 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. 
  • Good time to watch, listen and learn
  • We may find we are looking at our “worth” now, including the salary we get paid.

  • Moon in Capricorn
  • Sun in Capricorn

NOTES: 35568229-country-cottage-in-full-moon-starry-night-landscapeFULL MOON in Capricorn June 21 @9:08pm (ET) @6:08pm (PT). The Full Moon energy will strengthen all that is listed above. As the Moon becomes full, it can be seen as a culmination of a months worth of work/play and knowledge seeking. For creative projects it can signify the completion of such projects.. Projects, situations that aren’t coming to a close now, may experience a bit of a pause, a time to adjust tweak and reflect. Traditionally, it is thought that the full moon energy is not the best energy to begin something new under. Capricorn can be work/career orientated, sometimes to the extent of other relationships being “put on hold”… As the Full Moon represents closure or endings, it may be possible to put an end to situations that are no longer fulfilling… such situations may include, career direction, work preferences, or the changing/ending of relationships, especially those connected to work/career. 

NOTES: 2: Retrograde_Neptune[1]  The Sun moved into the sign of Cancer ♋on Thursday June 20th. Cancer is one of the most nurturing signs of the zodiac and one of the most sensitive… Cancer folks, try not to be too helpful towards your loved ones, sometimes it can get a little overwhelming for them,💙 … Loved ones of Cancer folks, be patient with them, harshness isn’t something they blossom on… 😊Cancer is ruled by the moon, (emotions) she is water (sensitive) connected to the 4th house of domestic bliss and family…When upset or confused, Cancer, like her sign depiction the crab, may become hermit like, trying to escape from the harshness of reality, in these instances all she needs is a big hug and some understanding…  She is the opposite sign to Capricorn, once the full moon energy in Capricorn has passed, Cappies, might encounter a few challenges… patience, empathy and compassion are good guidelines for this month.

Present Moon Sign/Phase/House:

  • Moon Sign: Capricorn
  • Moon Phase: 3rd
  • Void-of-Course: April 30 @11:19am (ET) @8:19am (PT) to moon into Aquarius a minute later. Capricorn Moon v/c is not one of the 4 “good signs”
  • Opportunity Period: April 29 @11:45 am (ET) @ 8:45 am (PT) to moon void of course. “Very positive OP ideal for constructive and innovative projects, but Mercury is slow and the Moon is waning, so it is preferable to focus on work started before late March” (if possible) PB

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

  • Moon in Capricorn
  • Moon in Cancer (to a lessor degree)

  • Moon in 10th house
  • Ascendant or Midheaven in Capricorn

NOTES: 
  • April 29 @ 7:31 am(ET) @ 4:31 am (PT) Venus enters Taurus. Venus rules Taurus so she is very comfortable with this visit. Focus is likely to be on material and financial security, which may include a concentrated effort in securing ones own home or property, along with a serious look at the financial side of things. While spending is always on the agenda when Venus is in town, it won’t be surprising to see most folks becoming more selective on what and where they spend. 
  • Mercury went stationary direct on April 25th… Situations will remain a little delayed, and communications can still become muddled until the Beg of May. 

  • 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…

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.
