The Moon and Astrology: How it affects our daily life… Transiting Moon in Cancer April 2016:
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. astrologer and Llewellyn’s Daily Planetary Guide for opportunity periods.

What does it all mean?
- The moon is happy in the sign of Cancer because she rules here. Being sympathetic towards the worries of others is easier, we are more empathetic now.

- Domestic chores and responsibilities may be easier to do now, in fact some of us may be very happy making our home comfortable and safe
- Cooking may be fun to do now, so go ahead and try out that new recipe
- The more emotionally sensitive of us, may take offense or feel slighted or more vulnerable during the Cancer moon… Caution is advised though, check your facts before you “accuse”.
- Some of us may feel needy, while others of us are happy to be the cuddler, helping our loved ones feel secure and in deed needed. Caution is advised that some of us can go over board on the needy thing during this moon period, so be careful if you don’t want to “scare” someone off…
- It’s a time for cuddles, caring, good food and just plain old lovings… :) Enjoy..
- In the 9th house: Some folks could be tempted to take up a new hobby, or learn a new talent. It could be a good time for some to deal with legal issues. If you need to advertise something, now is a good time to do it… :)
- This moon sign will have more of an effect on those who have the following in their charts.
- Moon in Cancer: (these folk may really feel the influence of the moon, emotions may be close to the surface)
- Ascendant in Cancer:

Astrology and how it affects our daily life. Transiting Mercury Moves into Taurus April 2016: Mercury goes retrograde April 28 2016
-
Event: Mercury moves into Taurus
-
Date: April 5 to June 13 2016
-
Time: 7:09 pm (ET) 4:09 pm (PT)
-
Retrograde: Mercury turns retrograde on April 28
What does it Mean?
- Mercury is the planet of communications and technology, he is what makes us think. He is also in “charge” of transportation
- Mercury rules Virgo and Gemini
- Taurus has to have both emotional and material security to be content
- Taurus is ruled by Venus, the planet of beauty and money.
- Taurus is much slower to act than Aries is… she needs to be sure it’s the best decision, and she takes a bit longer to fully understand what is all involved.
- We could be slower on the uptake, and some of us could feel slightly frustrated at the pace…
- Patience is in the cards for others, it will be easier for you to take your time and mull over your options… for the rest of us, we could be “chomping at the bit” to get going
- We prefer to stick to what we know now, new ideas or projects or ways of doing things are more challenging to connect with
- Slow and steady is the way to go now
- Our thinking will be more on the practical side, tackling abstract issues may not go as well as anticipated.
- Some folks may be tempted to view the world through “blinkers” making it awkward for those around them…
- Those who have a tendency to be stubborn may be more so… hopefully their loved ones will be understanding and convince them with love and hugs to change their mind if the subject needs to be resolved now.
- Money issues could be on the agenda and if they are we are encouraged to take our time with them.
- We are more aware of our comfort needs now… so indulge… :)
Mercury Retrograde: Enters Storm April 21, Goes Retrograde April 28 until May 22: In Storm until June 1 2016;
Try and Avoid the following:
- When Mercury is Retrograde or in its storm, it’s not the best time to begin any new projects. Work on the ones that are already in progress.
- Because Mercury rules communications, technology and transportation, entering into any new legal contracts or signing important papers may not go as planned.
- Predictions or expectations for or about such issues, (buying a house, signing a lease, a new job, a new study) will not go as planned.
- If you have to proceed with important situations, be aware that changes are likely.
- Make sure you find out all you can about everything, and make as many notes as possible.
Try to follow the recommendations below:
- When Mercury is retrograde it’s the perfect time to re-do and re-visit past issues…
- Write down your ideas and the time they occurred.
- If it comes back on the market put another offer on that house you “lost” after your previous offer:
- Redecorate your home or office, check out your policies…
- Bring up unresolved relationship issues and re investigate possible solutions.
- Mercury retrograde gives us a second chance… :)
- Mercury in storm isn’t as strong as Mercury Retrograde, but it can still have a disappointing or challenging effect.

From our inbox to you: From Lynne Mctaggart on: Medical profession and the Thyroid Gland
Copyright : nerthuz
ANOTHER MEDICAL WITCHHUNT
One of the greatest and most far-reaching scandals of modern medicine has to do with the appalling ignorance of doctors about the workings of the glands and hormones that regulate how much energy we have.
The thyroid, a bow-tie-shaped gland at the base of the neck, is our body’s central metabolic regulator, and when it goes awry (as it can in today’s highly toxic environment), it can cause untold mayhem.
Hundreds of thousands of people—including one-sixth of the over-55s, according to one survey—are walking around with undiagnosed underactive thyroid. Half of all women and a quarter of all men will die with an inflamed thyroid.
In fact, undiagnosed thyroid problems may be one of the major elements contributing to such puzzling diseases of the 21st century as myalgic encephalomyelitis (ME), chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS) and fibromyalgia, all now appearing in epidemic numbers.
This becomes all the more serious when you consider that a thyroid gland out of control can sometimes even kill you.
Bad testing
The main reason that doctors have so much trouble diagnosing an underactive thyroid is that they rely on blood tests that don’t tell them about the full state of a person’s thyroid, but only about the levels of thyroid hormone circulating in the blood. These tests also can’t tell them how much thyroid hormone the body is able to use or how much is necessary to ensure an individual’s health.To make matters even more complicated, a host of conditions and drugs can throw off a thyroxine (thyroid hormone) reading. Just taking the Pill can give a false picture of the state of your thyroid.
Holistic testing
Barry Durrant-Peatfield, formerly a Surrey-based general practitioner in the UK, spent 40 years successfully treating thousands of patients with thyroid problems by ignoring the standard blood tests, taking a careful history of the patient and examining such things as diet, micronutrient status, and allergies and other environmental influences.He also relied on a simple, non-invasive test developed by Dr Broda Barnes, a thyroid expert, 30 years ago. Dr Barnes, who believed that many people have subtle thyroid disorders that don’t show up on any blood test, publicized a simple, accurate test for both hypo- and hyperthyroid conditions that can be done at home.
Barnes’ test involves recording your basal body temperature (BBT), the body’s lowest temperature during its waking day. This is invariably when you wake up, and before you get out of bed in the morning.
The test entails simply placing a thermometer under your armpit for 10 minutes first thing in the morning, before getting out of bed, for several days and recording the results.
A normal reading ranges from 97.8º to 98.2º F (36.6º to 36.8º C). Anything markedly below this could mean an underactive thyroid; anything markedly higher suggests an overactive one.
Of course, a good doctor will also consider and exclude other causes of a low BBT, as the armpit test is no substitute for a careful and complete history-taking.
According to Dr Durrant-Peatfield, this test has been ignored or derided by many practitioners and authorities. Doctors accustomed to diagnosing from complex quantified measurements like laboratory results tend to suspect anything as simple as a thermometer reading.
Peatfield’s other innovation was to recognize that the thyroid works in tandem with the adrenal glands and to treat them both with natural glandular extract, rather than the synthetic thyroxine generally prescribed by medicine.
Medical witch-hunt
The tragedy is that this reliance on gadgetry blinded medicine to the simple wisdom of Peatfield’s approach. After the millennium, a witch-hunt was instigated to round up all those doctors like Peatfield who refused to diagnose thyroid disorders on the basis of blood tests.Fourteen years ago, Dr Durrant-Peatfield had his license suspended by the General Medical Council (GMC), the chief medical licensing body in the UK. Although hundreds of his patients sent letters of support to the GMC, these were totally ignored at his hearing. The decision to suspend him had been taken before the final hearing, which declared him a “danger to patients”.
Dr Durrant-Peatfield retired but decided to take his case directly to the public. He compiled all his knowledge on fatigue and how to counter it into a book, called Your Thyroid and How to Keep it Healthy: The Great Thyroid Scandal and How to Survive it, featuring many of his breakthrough ideas about why adrenal gland problems are behind many cases of fatigue and thyroid problems that go unresolved.
As with most areas of medicine, space-age equipment and high-tech lab results are no substitute for taking a good look at patients and listening carefully to their stories. To figure out how to treat some of the most puzzling new illnesses plaguing us nowadays, doctors may have to recover some of the lost art of traditional medicine as was practised by Durrant-Peatfield: learning again how to read the state of a patient’s tongue
