The Moon and Astrology: How it affects our daily life… Transiting Moon in Scorpio July 2015

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… The moon stays with each sign 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.

  • House(s): 1st house: Of the self… one’s own needs and desires are in focus
  • Opportunity Period: None

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…
  • In the 1st house: Our needs and desires are at the top of the agenda, making this a challenging time for folk who are used to doing things their way as they may inadvertently upset others, or come across as being selfish. Being aware of how we speak to and deal with others is a good way of keeping any selfish streak under control. For those who are usually the ones who do all the giving, enjoy this time, and do something nice for yourself, you deserve it… :) 
  • 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.. and those who have a strong Aries or Taurus placement in their charts. 
    • Moon in Scorpio
    • Sun in Scorpio
    • Moon in Aries
    • Ascendant in Scorpio
    • Mid-heaven in Scorpio
    • Moon in 1st or 8th house
    • Aspects to the Moon, Mars or Pluto

What does it Mean? 

  • Mercury is the planet of communications and technology, he is what makes us think.
  • Leo is dramatic, proud and “demands” quality over quantity.
  • Our way of thinking might get bigger, we may “see” greater possibilities ahead and our plans for the future may become more grandiose. 
  • Speculation, gambling and taking a risk are all possible now. Those who have a tendency to go over budget may need to be aware of such a trait when entering into such situation. However research into sound investments isn’t a bad idea.
  • Time to pick up a good book, see a new movie, or go to the theater with friends or that special someone.. 
  • A great time to socialize and have fun with like-minded folk
  • Children and Pets might be on the mind of some folk. Creating with our hands is good for us now, as is coming up with creative ideas for any number of things. 
  • Leo is a fire sign, encouraging our mind to work quicker then usual, however not everyone will be “blessed” with the ability to think on their feet.
  • Some of us may gear our thinking towards doing, while others may have the best intentions, however the thoughts remain words, good ideas may stem from such episodes, writing them down now may prove useful in the future.

The Sun Moves into Leo

 July 22 2015…..

Leo: Masculine: Fire: Fixed:

  • Leo’s are fun people to have around as they enjoy being with company and many of them (not all) enjoy being in the spot light, so you can find lots of Leo’s who enjoy dance, acting, singing, rapping, writing etc. Guess you could call Leo the “Hollywood” sign. :)
  • These guys and gals require the finer things in life, if this means they have to go without in order to wait until they can afford the object of their desire, then so be it… It’s all about quality over quantity with these guys, (well for the most of them anyway). :)
  • Leo’s possess a fabulous creative streak, of which they are advised to allow free reign as it’s an awesome way to let off steam or reduce the stress level.
  • Pride comes before a fall and some of you (especially if you have other Leo influences in your chart ) may be inclined to bossiness or a belief that you really are the best at all you do :) … 
  • Leo’s are fabulous at organization.
  • Leo’s can be determined and stubborn, so there really is nothing they can’t do… :)
  • The moon is in the 1st phase as the sun comes into. Indicating this could be a great time for Leo’s and those with a Leo chart influence to start something new.

Picking Up the Toy

We wish Molly happy healing…

cast-light.com's avatarCast Light

“Life is always at some turning point.” – Irwin Edman

On the first trip outside this morning, Molly picked up a toy in the living room and proceeded to the back yard. She does this every morning, but this morning was special. She had surgery last Monday on a torn ACL from wear, tear and arthritis. She has about 10 inches of stitches on her inner knee and a metal plate screwed in to reconstruct the function. When I picked her up on Tuesday, she was looking pretty rough but anxious to get home.

She’s been pretty somber through the week, waking up, coughing, limping around, not herself. On Thursday morning, I took her back to have them check out her coughing and it turned out she has pneumonia often caused by anesthesia.

All week, Lily has been keeping an eye on her like a hawk. Patiently waiting for her…
