I haven’t been overly concerned about the safety of store bought deodorant, but knowing that skin is highly porous and what goes on it, goes through it, I’d rather not add more chemicals to my system.
Add to that the number of plastic casings consigned to the recycle bin I have wondered about an alternative but never put a whole lot of research into it.
Yesterday, I was stopped in my tracks by the dreaded “End of the deodorant” panic.
Not usually a big deal but I was running late for a meeting, no time to drive to Trader Joes for the one brand of deodorant that both works and doesn’t irritate my skin, and I really didn’t want to risk spending the next 2 hours in a stuffy office smelling like a dead ferret!
A quick search turned up lots of recipes here is the recipe that I used…
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.
Thanks to Jim Shawvan present day astrologer, William Lilly 17th century astrologer and Llewellyn’s Daily Planetary Guide for opportunity periods.
Void-off-Course: Yes: 9:18 pm (ET) 6:18 pm (PT) January 27 to 5:36 pm (ET) 2:36 pm (PT) January 28 2015: Moon in Taurus v/c is one of the 4 “good signs”
House: 7th … The house of partnerships and relationships
Opportunity Period: None
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… :)
In the 7th house: Focus may be on our relationships and partnerships. We may be more patient with our loved ones, and/or willing to find workable solutions to existing challenges within those relationships. Taurus can be stubborn though, so if she thinks she is the one who is right and the partner believes they are right, this could prove to be a make it or break few days where our relationships are concerned.
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.

House: 2nd: House of Finances and material security, our possessions and our property.
Opportunity Period: Yes: 9:29 am (ET) 6:29 am (PT) to 6:52 pm (ET) 3:52 (PT). This is a good time to get things done.
What does it all mean?
Scorpio is very intense and probably the most sensitive of the zodiac signs
The moon relates to our emotions, indicating we could be feeling everything more deeply for the next couple of days
We can immerse ourselves in our projects now.
Watch for becoming obsessed with someone or something…. not everyone falls for someone at the same time and patience may be needed regarding sensitive relationship matters
Be sure that your partner, friend, lover, co-worker or school friend is really trying to upset your personal apple cart before making waves
We could be encouraged or directed towards taking risks or doing things we wouldn’t normally do, especially those of a group or team nature.
Sex may be high on the agenda for some of us… so if you don’t want to help the world population grow right now use caution… :)
Some of us may be highly creative right now, while others get connected to their psychic side…
Secrets may be told now… we can be enticed to open up to others about our deepest feelings/fantasy’s…
Our focus may be on our finances, mergers and investments, indicating this may be a good time for some of us to make adjustments to this area, be sure you know what you are doing though before signing on the dotted line.
While we will all be effected slightly by the Scorpio moon, she will have a greater effect on those who have the following in their charts..

We may be more conscious of our work and it’s effects on our health
