“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…

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. astrologer and Llewellyn’s Daily Planetary Guide for opportunity periods.
Void-off-Course: : July 23 2:12 pm (ET) 11:12 am (PT). Moon v/c in Libra is not one of the 4 void off course “good signs”
House: 12th: House of illusion, psychic abilities, institutions.
Opportunity Period: None
What does it all mean?
Libra has a need for balance, indicating this moon period may be an ideal time to implement some into our daily lives.
A desire for justice may be present, dealing with issues that have upset our sense of justice may prove to be productive.
Diplomacy is likely to be more apparent during the next few days, and may be a good time to bring up that topic you have been putting on the back burner.
Hesitation is probably going to raise its head, we may see many sides of a story and find it difficult to make up our minds.
Difficulty in making commitments or long-term decisions, because we can’t make up our minds. If this is the case perhaps wait a few days until the move has moved out of Libra.
Libra is happiest when in a relationship or partnership. Indicating this may be a good time to begin one. :)
Co-operation should be in the air, making this an ideal time to make plans with others.
May be a good time to improve our appearance and surroundings.
May be great time to go bargain hunting,
In the12th house, some of us may be feeling a little more connected with the “other side” and may experience some “odd” messages.. those who do experience such things are reminded to have an open mind, but leave any nasty negatives behind. We could be deceived or be prepared to deceive others, so take care what you say to whom, and why you say or do what you do. Be care if you are the one who feels the need to deceive another, the reason may sound good to you now, but it might not seem so in the future. Dealings with hospitals, jails, and or schools could be in focus for some.
This moon sign will affect us all but will have more of an effect on those who have the following in their charts.

Void-off-Course: July 21 6:07 (ET) 3:07 am (PT) to 9:23 am (ET) 6:23 (PT). Virgo Moon v/c is not one of the 4 “good signs” Try not to make any important decisions or commitments now. Rest if you are feeling tired or a cold coming on.
House(s): 11th & 12th:11th house of friends, teamwork and humanitarian work. 12th house of fantasy, psychic abilities, institutions.
Opportunity Period: July 19 3:43 pm (ET) 12:43 pm (PT) to July 21 6:07 (ET) 3:07 am (PT) to 9:23 am (ET) 6:23 (PT). This can be a very productive time period if we take advantage of it… we might even be pleasantly surprised at the results… :)
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… Because Virgo “see’s” all the details others miss, it’s hard for her not to worry…
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 other’s 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.
In the 11th house: It could be a busy time for some. Group, club and team activity is signaled, any one of which may be a stepping stone to better things. Team up, hang out, and do what good you can, have a yard sale and donate some of the proceeds to a community charity…
In the 12th house: Use your intuition when it speaks, be careful who you share your secrets with and time spent in solitude with quiet relaxing music may be more appealing than crowds or loud noises right now.
In the 1st house: Support is close at hand and will be offered if we remain sensitive where the feelings of others is concerned. However, come on too “strong” and run the risk of alienating the very folk who are ready to assist you.
This moon sign will have more of an effect on those who have the following in their charts. And those who have a strong Aquarius or Pisces placement in their charts..
Moon in Virgo
Sun in Virgo
Venus in Virgo
Ascendant in Virgo
Mid-heaven in Virgo
Moon in 1st, 6th, 11th or 12th house
Moon in Sagittarius
Any aspects to the Moon or Mercury.
