Daily Mood for August 20:

The Sagittarius moon is going to brighten things up a bit for us all, with his positive and cheerful outlook on things… A well needed pick me up after the intense Scorpio moon… For some of us travel could be on the agenda, travel that may include an adventure or too… The next couple of days will be good for sorting through possessions, giving them away or recycling them.. making space for the new, or just getting organized.. the energy is there to get lots done. Some of us could find ourselves in deep conversations about all manner of things, and some may get rather passionate about the conversation, no worries though, as the energy is positive, making the discussion a time of sharing knowledge and not one of contention. (🤞) An excellent time for romance, or perhaps making new friends… However, as much as these few days are positive and friendly,  watch out for sudden changes in mood, some folks or situations may shock us.. Take care not to allow impulsive reactions take the lead. 

Signs most likely affected: Sagittarius, Taurus, Aquarius, Aries, Gemini and Cancer.

Secondary signs most likely affected: Scorpio, Leo, Libra and Capricorn… (almost covers the whole zodiac 😊)

Daily Mood for August 21st

Whoa, lots of energy floating around today,  which is fabulous, take care not to get carried away with too much optimism though, it’s easy to “expand” our ideas until they end up in fantasy land… keep reality at the door… Don’t take a lot of notice of what others think of you, those of us who are less then confident, may feel the pressure of others, who either undermine our confidence even more, or who expect way more from us than we can possible give. Duty calls and responsible solutions are expected, time to do some adulting for some… So much can get done today, but we gotta bring in patience… not everything will go as planned, but things will get done today… Spread optimism and chirpy, cheery feelings where ever you go today… the world sure as heck could do with as much as it can get... 😊

Signs most likely affected: Sagittarius, Leo, Aries and Libra

Secondary Signs most likely affected: Gemini and Aquarius. 

Daily Mood for August 22nd: 

The Moon moves into the sign of Capricorn at 4:59 pm (ET) @ 1:59 pm (PT). Please Click here to see our past post on the Moon in Capricorn.  The Capricorn moon is duty bound and business orientated.  

The Sun moves into the Sign of Virgo @ 10:19 pm (ET) @ 7:19 pm (PT). Please Click here to see our past post on the Sun in Virgo. Virgo, where would we be with out you guys, seeing all the little details that we miss.. Virgo is a service, health/hygiene focused sign. 

The back ground energy for the month will change from the fiery energy of the Leo Sun, to a more subdued and cautious Virgo Sun… Both the Moon and the Sun are in Earth signs for the next couple of days.. Earth is grounding, sensible and sometimes overly stubborn. 

We can think more clearly now, our thoughts are positive, however, they could raise some concerns for some of us.. Decisions can be reached during the next few days, and it could be easier to convince others about our ideas. Dealings with the opposite sex should go fairly smoothly, perhaps a good time to give hubby/wifey that “honey do list” 😋. Clearing up loose ends in the business field are likely… May be a good time for Estate sales. Towards the night hours, (PT) and as the new day dawns on the 23rd, deceptions will start to sneak about.. take care for the next few days not to make long term commitments, you may be excited about a prospect or an idea, which isn’t what it seems to be… Don’t be drawn into shady deals.. check your sources. 

Signs most likely affected: Sagittarius, Leo, Capricorn, Taurus, Virgo and Aries

Secondary signs most likely affected: Gemini, Aquarius, Scorpio, Pisces and Libra. 

Daily Mood for August 23:

We are now under a Capricorn Moon energy, and a Virgo Sun energy, both are Earth Signs. As the sun rises, our ability to sniff out “deception” falls… take care in dealings this morning, poor judgement today may produce future disappointments. If it sounds too good to be true, have another listen or look before making any commitments. Following on the energy of yesterday, abrupt changes in mood will upset the status quo.. Some changes are unavoidable, others will be “manufactured” to create illusion or mild chaos. Watch for EGO clashes. The energy is high, but co-operation isn’t… expect some ruffled feathers. Past health issues may pop up, either a recurrence of a past illness, a conversation of a past illness, or the “discovery” of a workable, safe solution to an ongoing issue. Napping is always highly recommended to help give us a “reset”. As we move through the day, our optimism rises, if there has been a situation that needs a solution, this afternoon, that solution may present itself. For most of us, it’s a fairly optimistic day, getting slightly more serious as the evening draws near… Perhaps, this day, will prove to be a positive and product one, even if it is just chit chatting about future plans and ideas. 

Signs most likely affected: Capricorn, Aries, Gemini, Cancer, Taurus and Leo.

Secondary signs most likely affected: Libra, Sagittarius, Scorpio and Aquarius. 

Re: Focus on Health body areas: The throat, tonsils, thyroid, cervical spine, jaw, vocal cords, neck and ears. (this is not medical advice, please always check with your health care provider and do your own research)

The Moon goes Void of Course at 11:30 pm (PT)

Daily Mood for August 24:

What a way to start a new week, 😊 For the most part today, should prove to be a rather laid back and relaxing day.  This energy may create a challenge if you have a pile of work do, as chilling with friends and chatting is far more appealing then rolling up the shirt sleeves and digging into that work load. The other challenge will be for those of us who like to spend money, as the desire to be extravagant is very strong, it’s a “what the heck, you only live once” kind of day…  Have fun, spend money, however, it’s advised that a little common sense via keeping an eye on the budget be brought into this “energy circle” 😊

Signs most likely affected: Capricorn and Libra. 

Secondary signs most likely affected: Cancer and Aries, I will also include Taurus.

The Moon goes void of course at 2:30 am (ET) 

Daily Mood for August 25:

A healthy balance between our thoughts, (logic) and our emotions is highly recommended, this will a background energy for the whole day… Some of us may need to pull back on our responses, such as “knee jerk” ones..

At 5:02 am (ET) 2:02 am (PT). The Moon moves into the sign of Aquarius. Please Click here to see our past post on the Moon In Aquarius.  The energy will change from that of the business “grown up” energy of Capricorn, to the fun, explorative, questioning and humanitarian Aquarius energy.

Some folks could be “forced” to confront past hurts, this will be made more challenging, if the balance between our emotions and our logic is not maintained. Our self worth may come into question today, perhaps some of us will be harder on ourselves then we need to be… humans are not perfect, and sometimes we forget that, especially in this ever changing world… Self negative talk may push through to the surface, and while facing our past mistakes to learn from them, is a good thing, telling ourselves we are not smart or any other negative thing, is not going to help the human growth process. Take care of yourselves today, be as kind to YOU, as you would be to someone else you offer positive advice to. Issues surrounding security may be in focus, this could be relating to how we are “feeling” in that area, but in some instances, may also relate to physical security concerns, so keep your purse, wallet, phone and laptops secure when out and about, and be sensible when it comes to home/work securities. Details about anything and everything will be discussed today, a good thing in some instances, however, take care not to harp on (whine) about something to the point of exhausting your listener. Our thoughts may turn to subjects and situations relating to our health and anything connected to service industries, (hospitals, retail, cleaning, nannies, sitters, etc).  For some folks, today could turn out to be a “self discovery” day, transformations and the beginning of change for the better is possible. New interest in a healthy lifestyle will have some of us looking for recipes and work out programs. For those suffering from health issues, today may prove to present a positive answer or happier direction. It’s important to put our mindset towards the future and not be “gobbled up” by pasts experiences, today is a day of forward movement. Lots of nervous excitement in the air, take care not to rush around, accidents are possible when we don’t take note of our immediate surroundings. Practice Patience.

Signs most likely affected: Aquarius, Taurus, Virgo, Aries, Gemini and Cancer

Secondary signs most likely affected: Leo, Scorpio, Pisces, Libra, Sagittarius and Capricorn. 

Daily Mood for August 26:

Good Morning everyone👋 , hyperness is in the air, sort of “ants in the pants” energy… for some this could translate to feelings of anxiety, don’t forget to breathe  🧘‍♀️ If the budget allows, this is an excellent day to treat yourself, feelings of extravagance need attention.. Lending a helping hand today brings it’s own rewards. A questioning time for some of us, “am I on the right path?” “is this the job I want for ever?” “why am I not happy?”.. explore these thoughts, be honest with yourself when you do, you won’t change anything if you aren’t. Watch for deception, this can come from anywhere, including ourselves, if you know it’s a lie, do you really wanna tell it.. And for those trying to deceive the vulnerable (elderly etc.) Keep in mind that what you put out there, comes back to you “threefold”. However, having warned of deceptive behaviours, good things are on the agenda today, perhaps we just need to watch for them. 🙏 An excellent day to do some shopping, especially for the home, perhaps a manicure and a new clothing item wouldn’t go amiss either.. redecorating will put a whole new happy feel to your space, budget allowed of course. Watch emotional responses, it’s super easy to get all “hot under the collar” and let our temper take control.. Changes may occur today that we have no control over, keep the emotions in balance with the logic… (I know this is getting incredibly challenging to do these days, we live in a world where common sense seems to have been kidnapped, just do the best that you can). 🤷‍♀️  Great opportunity arises today, for us to “examine” our emotional responses.. “why do I react this way?”… By understanding our emotional reactions we are better equipped to see our personal triggers. 

Signs most likely affected: Aquarius, Cancer, Leo, Aries and Libra

Secondary signs most likely affected: Capricorn. 

 

 

 

 

Happy Birthday to all the Virgo’s out there…

we hope your coming year is filled with love, laughter and good health….

The Moon and Astrology: How it affects our daily life: Transiting Moon/Sign Changes up to New Moon June 14 2026

June 6 @ 8:43 pm (ET) @ 5:43 pm (ET) The moon moves into the sign of pisces

  • Moon is in the 3rd  quarter.
  • Moon void of course: June 8 @ 8:38 pm (ET) @ 5:38 pm (PT)
  • Opportunity Period: None
  • Click Here to see our past post of the transiting moon in Pisces

NOTES: 

  • June 6th is showing one challenging aspect to the Moon, late night PT zone. We could be feeling more restless then usual, and our patience is less then it should be. For some, mood swings could be on the agenda, making things challenging in relationships/partnerships. While it seems almost impossible to focus on anything for long, we are encouraged to take a walk, pick up a puzzle, read something exciting or do some research regarding future travel plans… These activities can help to quell the restlessness and bring us back down to earth.  The signs likely to be most affected are: Pisces and Gemini and to a lessor effect, Virgo and Sagittarius.
  • June 7th Aspects: The same aspect that happened on the 6th (above) will occur just after 1:00 am ET zone today. Along with that there are two additional aspects, the first occurring after 3pm (ET) the last occurring late night (PT). For most of us the day should go by fairly well, communications with others should go smoothly. If you are in business and need to get the word out, this is a good day to reach out and do some networking, either in the physical, or online. There is a strong feminine energy, which will prompt, affectionate, nurturing and sympathetic responses towards loved ones and close friends. Joining a gym, starting a new work out program at home, heading a new project are all possibilities today. If you have a tendency to speed, watch that gas peddle. The signs likely to be most affected are: Pisces, Gemini, Cancer and Taurus. To a lessor effect, Virgo, Sagittarius, Capricorn and Scorpio.
  • June 8th Aspects: It could be a bit of tricky day for some of us in the emotional department, so if you aren’t feeling yourself, or didn’t get a good night’s sleep, it’s probably not a good idea to force sensitive issues.. On the bright side, this is an excellent day for socializing, romancing or equally as rewarding spending time with family. Family time could include sprucing up a special shared space, or swapping ideas about decorating or updates to the domestic space. Check the mail box, some of us may be in for good news from over seas. :) The signs likely to be most affected are: Pisces, Taurus, Gemini, Cancer. To a lessor effect, Virgo, Scorpio and Capricorn.

June 9th @ 4:33 am (ET) @ 1:33 am (PT) the Moon enters the sign of Aries.

  • Moon is in the 4th  quarter.
  • Moon void of course: June 11 @ 4:22 am (ET) @ 1:22 am (PT)
  • Opportunity Period: None
  • Click Hereto see our past post of the transiting moon in Aries

NOTES: 

  • June 9 Aspects: The moon experiences 3 aspects throughout the day mostly of a positive influence. Venus experiences one variable aspect, while Mercury experiences a challenging aspect late night (PT). Our energy could be higher then it has been for the last few days, prompting us to want to try something new or make some unexpected changes in our lives. We can be dreamy today, perhaps a little foggy, as we focus on the “what if’s and the if only’s” Which is all good, as long as we don’t forget to do our chores. It’s going to be tough for some, but necessary, this is not a good time to go shopping, the temptation will be too great… and the budget might not be up to the task. Our thoughts and our emotions might not be on the same page, prompting overly sensitive reactions in some of us. And while we may be able to get some things organized today, expect that things may not go as planned. Keep your focus and be patient, “Rome wasn’t built in a day”. The signs likely to be most affected are: Aries, Gemini, Aquarius and Cancer. To a lessor effect, Libra, Sagittarius, Leo and Capricorn.
  • June 10 Aspects: Mercury experiences a challenging aspect early hours (ET). Throughout the rest of the day, the Moon experiences 4 aspects, with the last being late at night (PT). There is a combination of positive and challenging aspects. It’s the sort of day where quiet wins over busy chaos… Lots can get done today, and it’s good for putting forward your ideas, just take care not to have tunnel vision, if you want to get ahead you are going to have to have an open mind. However, our emotions can control our head today, so it’s not the best time to have that serious chat, or make important decisions, as logic may be ignored. Working for or spending time with seniors should go smoothly, connections can be made between generations. The signs likely to be most affected are: Cancer, Aries,  and Gemini. To a lessor effect, Capricorn, Libra and Sagittarius.
  • June 11 Aspects: Up until the moon changes signs she will experience three aspects, two of which are challenging, one is variable. The first aspect is in ET as the last was in PT. All aspects begin early in the morning.  It’s a good day to take time out for oneself, healing needs to begin, so taking yourself seriously needs to be at the top of the list. Some of us may have to go into defense mode for self preservation… or come to the defense of a weaker loved one, perhaps advocating re: medical situation.  The signs likely to be most affected are: Aries, Cancer and Taurus and to a lessor effect, Libra, Capricorn and Scorpio. 

June 11th @ 8:28 am (ET) @ 5:28 am (PT) the Moon enters the sign of Taurus.

  • Moon is in the 4th  quarter.
  • Moon void of course: June 13 @ 3:30 am (ET) @ 12:30 am (PT)
  • Opportunity Period: Friday, June 12 @ 10:24 pm (PT) Saturday, June 13 @ 1:24 am (ET) to moon into Gemini on the 13th. An excellent Last Quarter Moon OP for finishing up projects and having fun afterward.”

NOTES: 

  • June 11th Aspects: After the moon moves into the sign of Taurus, she experiences a challenging aspect to Pluto in Aquarius, late afternoon, (PT) early evening (ET). Feelings of jealousy and possessiveness can be hard to hold back today, but it’s highly advised that we do… It’s not going to be easy to figure what’s real and what isn’t, especially when it comes to our feelings… If you can, spend some time in nature, if that’s not possible, do something grounding, alone if circumstances permit, just for a few hours. The signs likely to be most affected are: Aries, Cancer, Taurus and Aquarius  and to a lessor effect, Libra, Capricorn, Scorpio and Leo.
  • June 12th Aspects: The moon experiences two fairly positive aspects, the first beginning in the morning the second begins mid afternoon. Venus makes a challenging aspects to Chiron, late night (PT).  This looks to be a good day all around. Energy levels are up, and there is a positive ring to it. Laughter really is the best medicine, and folks are in sore need of a little lift. Spread the light where ever you go today… Got a question or a query, today is the day to ask… Ladies seem to be especially open to helping others find the answer’s they seek… If you have phone calls to make and emails to write, this is the day to get busy… A visit to the gym, or a good work out at home, are sure to have us resting well at the end of a hopefully fairly positive day. The signs likely to be most affected are: Taurus, Cancer and Aries and to a lessor effect, Scorpio, Capricorn and Libra.
  • June 13th: Venus enter the sign of Leo @ 6:47 am(ET) @3:47 am(PT): Times are ripe to have some fun.. Venus and Leo are on the same page when it comes to having fun, and socializing. It can a busy time of catching concerts and going to sporting events… Mind you with todays prices, we might want to think about doing more at home instead. Gambling is beckoning to some, so watch your wallet, it’s easy to get carried away. 
  • June 13th Aspects: Venus makes the same challenging aspect in the ET zone, as we saw in the PT zone late last night. The moon experiences one positive aspect as she goes void of course in the early hours of the morning, setting the tone for the day. It might be a mixed bag for some of us today… if you are feeling under the weather, stay home and rest up.. If you are feeling “less than” and finances permit, go and buy yourself something nice or change up your hair… it will do wonders, just don’t go over board with the spending, or do anything too rash in the looks department. Learning just got easier today, so pick up that book and get your nose stuck in… of course this usually only works to it’s maximum when the subject is one we like… 😉. For the most part though, it should turn out to be a good day, where favors are granted, laughter is abundant and good feeling spreads like wild fire. The signs likely to be most affected are: Aries, Cancer and Leo  and to a lessor effect, Libra, Capricorn and Aquarius. 

June 13th @ 9:06 am (ET) @ 6:06 am (PT) the Moon moves into the sign of Gemini.

  • Moon is in the 4th  quarter.
  • Moon void of course: June 14 @ 10:54 pm (ET) @ 7:54 pm (PT)
  • Opportunity Period: None
  • Click Here to see our past post of the transiting moon in Gemini

NOTES:

  • June 13th Aspects: After the moon moves into the sign of Gemini, she experiences 4 aspects, mostly positive, beginning just after 9 am and throughout the day. A productive day is possible in all kinds of situations, clean out those closets, organize those drawers, get together with like minded folks.. A great day for group activities, and if you play your cards right, it’s a good time to have others agree with or follow your lead. Be prepared to act on opportunities, as doors are just waiting for you to walk through. This good energy, helps us to feel compassionate towards others, especially those we hold dear… We are happy to assist in any way that we can… however, take care not to take on the emotional baggage of others, it’s not your journey, it’s theirs. As the evening approaches, set the table for a romantic dinner, or get busy and have the family gather together for a sit down, old fashioned meal. The signs likely to be most affected are: Gemini, Leo, Aries and Aquarius and to a lessor effect, Sagittarius and Libra . 

 

  • June 14th: as the moon goes void of course, @ 10:54 pm (ET) @ 7:54 pm (PT) the moon becomes NEW in the energy of Gemini. Please Click Here to see our past post on NEW MOON in GEMINI 
  • June 14th Aspects: Beginning at 6 am (ET) @ 3 am (PT) the moon experiences two positive aspects, setting the tone for the new moon day. This looks like it may turn out to be rather a happy go lucky new moon energy… We are eager to spend time with our friends, but not until we have don’t all of our “chores” which shouldn’t be too difficult to accomplish, as there is a lot of duty bound sensible energy floating in the air, settling on us like pollen on a patio table. The signs likely to be most affected are: Gemini and Aries and to a lessor effect, Sagittarius and Libra.

Aspects and how they affect our daily lives:

  • Conjunctions: Variable, they can present either positive or challenging events/situations and people depending on the signs and planets involved
  • Quincunx:         Challenging, they can create frustrations regarding dealings with people, events or situations… the “actors” involved do not share any similarities. 
  • Opposition:      Challenging, as the “actors” are at odds with each other, but with a little work and patience compromises can be made
  • Squares:             Challenging, due to friction between the “actors” involved, however, friction can bring about needed change… while frustrating these little guys, can help us to grow. 
  • Sextile:               Positive, the “actors” involved are happy to be together and more then happy to work together, good things are possible
  • Trine:                  Positive, good for chilling out, and relaxing, these guys are also happy to be together, but neither one may have the motivation to do anything, so it’s possible that nothing constructive will get done with these guys in play. 
  • All planetary movement will affect those who have such active players (planets/signs) in their birth charts, the rest of us may feel the affects too, but to a lessor extent. However, those with opposite sign placements may also be affected by such movements, to lessor extent, but perhaps more then those who have no such personal chart placements.

NOTES

  • 1) May 5th:Cinco De Mayo: Celebrating a battle in the 1800’s between the French and Mexico. 
  • 2) May 6th: Pluto (Planet of death, destruction and regeneration) moves into retrograde motion. He will remain in retrograde motion until mid October. Pluto is an outer planet, so his influence is less intrusive, but it’s still there. He is in charge of change and what has to happen, he is connected to addictions, power and control. When he goes retrograde, he is giving us a chance to make some changes in our life for the better of our future.. A time to let go of some people, and situations that are only causing us heart ache, at the very least, they are holding us back from our best potential. This can be a good time to give up addictions/obsessions. If some one is over powering you, controlling your life, you may be able to move away from that person/situation. However, take note, if you are the one who is controlling  or using your position of power to undermine others, don’t be surprised if your ability to do so is suddenly taken away.

Aspects and how they affect our daily lives:

  • Conjunctions: Variable, they can present either positive or challenging events/situations and people depending on the signs and planets involved
  • Quincunx: Challenging, they can create frustrations regarding dealings with people, events or situations… the “actors” involved do not share any similarities. 
  • Opposition: Challenging, as the “actors” are at odds with each other, but with a little work and patience compromises can be made
  • Squares: Challenging, due to friction between the “actors” involved, however, friction can bring about needed change… while frustrating these little guys, can help us to grow. 
  • Sextile: Positive, the “actors” involved are happy to be together and more then happy to work together, good things are possible
  • Trine:Positive, good for chilling out, and relaxing, these guys are also happy to be together, but neither one may have the motivation to do anything, so it’s possible that nothing constructive will get done with these guys in play. 
  • All planetary movement, will affect those who have such active players (planets/signs) in their birth charts, the rest of us may feel the affects too, but to a lessor extent. However, those with opposite sign placements may also be affected by such movements, to lessor extent, but perhaps more then those who have no such personal chart placements.
