Present Moon Sign/Phase/House:

  • Date: April 8 @9;40am (ET) @6:40am (PT)
  • Moon Sign: Virgo
  • Moon Quarter: 2nd
  • Void-of-Course: April 10 @ 3:49pm (ET) @ 12:49pm (PT to moon into Libra a later in the evening. 
  • 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, you will feel better :) 
  • Try not to worry about things you have no control over, especially things that might not ever happen…
  • 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 need things to be “correct” or “perfect”. Try to give yourself and others a break over the next couple of days. If you are an employer, be prepared that tasks may not get completed exactly they way you had expected.
  • These next few days may be good for: Breaking bad habits: Fixing cars: 
  • 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 strong Pisces placement in their charts

NOTES:

  • April 8th: The Moon makes a quincunx to Neptune in Aries in the morning and a quincunx to Pluto in Aquarius in the afternoon. For some, it could be a rather challenging day, and we may find that our “dream world” falls away, only to show a not so nice reality. Perhaps it’s best to not reach for the moon today. 
  • April 9th: The Moon makes a square to Jupiter in Gemini later in the evening. She makes a quincunx just before midnight (PT) to the Sun in Aries. The day should go o.k. however, if there are plans for the evening, there may be a few hic-cups along the way. 
  • April 10th: The Moon makes the following aspects: A quincunx to the Sun in Aries, and Chiron in Aries before 10 am. Then she makes an opposition to Venus in Pisces, and a trine to Uranus in Taurus before noon. She makes another opposition, this time to Saturn in Pisces around Noon. By 3pm, the Moon sextiles Mars in Cancer and opposes Mercury in Pisces. The energy today may feel all over the place, however, things should move along fairly smoothly. Expect delays, missed buses, silly “murphy’s law” happenings and maybe crossed communications.

    &

    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 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-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.

Present Moon Sign/Phase/House:

  • 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.

Present Moon Sign/Phase/House:

  • Date: June 21 @9:08pm (ET) @6:08pm (PT) 
  • Moon Sign: Capricorn 
  • 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. 
  • Our public image may be very important to some folks for the next few day, especially if dealing in work or career situations.  
  • This is a “Father” influence, paternal parental situations may be in focus. 
  •  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
  • Sun in Capricorn
  • Saturn in Capricorn
  • Ascendant in Capricorn
  • Midheaven in Capricorn
  • Any aspects to the Moon or Saturn

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.

The Moon and Astrology: How it affects our daily life…Transiting Moon in Capricorn April 2024

Present Moon Sign/Phase/House:

picture Copyright : Elena Besedina
  • Date: April 28 @5:37am (ET) @2:37am (PT) 
  • 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
  • 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: 
  • 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….
