NOTES:

  • The Sun enters into the sign of Taurus @9:39 pm (ET) @6:39 pm (PT) on April 19th: Taurus is ruled by Venus and is connected to the 2nd house of finances. She is sensual, patient and concerned about personal security, comfort and finances. Much of the time her sense of security is linked to her finances, and assets, such as owning her own home. She can be stubborn, and there isn’t much hope of shifting her once her mind is made up. While she has tons of patience, she has a limit, it is best not to take her for granted for too long. Speed isn’t her strong point, particularly when it comes to academics, but that doesn’t mean she isn’t smart, it takes her a bit longer because she is determined to understand.

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.

  • 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.

The Moon and Astrology: How it affects our daily life… Transiting Moon in Virgo July 2025

  • Date: July 26 @4:55 pm (ET) @1:55 pm (PT)
  • Moon Sign: Virgo
  • Moon Phase: 1st
  • Void-off-Course: July 28 @8:57 pm (ET) @5:12 pm (PT)  to moon into Libra late that night or early morning on the 29th. Moon v/c is not one of the 4 “good signs” Try not to make any important decisions or commitments now.
  • Opportunity Period: None

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. 
  • 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 needs things to be “correct” or “perfect”. If you are an employer, be prepared that tasks may not get completed exactly the way you had expected, be gentle and patient. 😊
  • The Moon in Virgo can be good for the following activities:
  • Break Habits (Better if in the moon is in the 3rd or 4th quarter):
  • Canning foods (Better if in the moon is in the 3rd or 4th quarter):
  • Fixing Cars:
  • Hair cut for less growth (Better if in the moon is in the 3rd or 4th quarter):
  • Mowing the lawn to retard growth (Better if in the moon is in the 3rd or 4th quarter):
  • Sending Mail:
  • Starting a diet (Better if in the moon is in the 3rd or 4th quarter): 
  • This moon sign will have more of an effect on those who have the following in their charts. 
  • Moon in Virgo
  • Sun in Virgo
  • Ascendant in Virgo
  • Mid-heaven in Virgo
  • Moon in 6th house
  • Any aspects to the Moon or Mercury.
  • And those who have a strong Pisces placement in their charts..

NOTES:

Saturday the 26th: Moon in Virgo, squares Uranus in Gemini, Qunicunx to Saturn in Aries, Qunicunx to Neptune in Aries and a Qunicunx to Pluto in Aquarius. All happening during the afternoon and evening, with the last aspect happening @9:37 pm (ET) @6:37 pm (PT). 

Sunday the 27th: The Moon in Virgo sextiles Jupiter in Cancer:

Monday the 28th: Venus in Gemini makes a sextile to Chiron in Aries. The Moon in Virgo conjuncts Mars in Virgo. Moon in Virgo squares Venus in Gemini. Aspects begin @ 12:55 pm (ET) 9:55 am (ET), with the last one begining @8:57 pm (ET) @5:57 pm (PT).

Aspects Definitions: 
  • Squares, these are challenging and can be frustrating, on the up side, Squares can push us to make changes that we have been putting off, or which we are “afraid” to embrace.. while the process may be painful, the results will be beneficial.
  • Opposition, another challenging aspect, where frustration levels may hit the roof, and it might not be easy to move ahead with projects or relationships, unless a compromise is reached, it’s not impossible but is it going to be worth it in the end.. that’s what needs to be figured out…
  • Quincunx can be a rather exasperating aspect, it’s a “smaller” aspect which is a good thing, as the signs involved are not compatible at all, the little “quin” can cause health issues too, however, a little rest, a getaway, meditation, deep breathing and if needed a complete “revamp” of the situation can be helpful in dealing with the challenges.
  • Trines and Sextile’s are “happy” aspects, most of the time things run fairly smoothly when they pop in, and can sometimes bring us good luck, the only down side to these guys is that they can make us lazy…

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… 

  • Cancer
  • Taurus
  • Sagittarius
  • Pisces…

Opportunity Periods
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.

  • This moon period can bring out the rebel in us, prompting us to try new things and or meet new people. Just take care not to “rebel” for the sake of it… ;) 
  • Be careful not to break tradition just because one feels like being different as some may see it as one being “difficult”
  • Personal freedom and individuality is very important now. Partner’s try not to restrict each other’s movements. Parent’s it might be a tight line you walk now. Employer’s give your “worker’s” a little “slack”. 
  • Being organized might not be as easy now, so expect weird schedule’s and interrupted meetings and misplaced keys.
  • Changes may be in the air…if you are o.k. with change, it’s possible to make long-term plan changes now..

    Opportunity Period: None

What does it all mean?

    • Capricorn is business, duty and discipline. She is ruled by Saturn, the planet of restrictions. 
    • We may be more in tune with our work/career or vocational direction.
    • Change may be more challenging to deal with, and we may be resistant towards it… 
    • Being disciplined towards our “duties/chores” may be easier to achieve. 
    • Dealings with the elderly may be in focus. 
    • Dealings with “authority” types, such as teachers, principles, supervisor’s may be in focus. Being respectful of such positions may help to alleviate tension. 
    • This could be a good time to get mundane business tasks out-of-the-way
    • If you have been waiting to get a “chaotic” situation under control, now may be a good time to do it. 
    • Rules and regulations may be in focus, and depending on how you deal with these, it could be a favorable time or a stressful one. 
      Some of us may be looking at ways to “climb the corporate ladder” or get the next promotion.
    • Moon in Capricorn may be good for buying antiques… :)

NOTES:


  • March 22: Moon moves into 4th quarter
  • Lots of aspects happening all through this Capricorn moon…
  • Saturday, March 22nd, might be a bit of a challenge for some folks, as the moon makes square aspects to, the Sun, Venus and Mercury, all in the sign of Aries. Venus and Mercury are also in retrograde motion during this time… Those with strong Aries Chart traits will feel these challenges the most… those with strong Libra Chart traits may also find themselves challenged on this day, but not to the extent of the Aries folks. 
  • Sunday, March 23 sees 6 aspects, the moon makes 5 of those aspects, two of which are challenging aspects. (Cancer and Aries folks may feel the challenges the most) The Sun makes a “happy” sextile aspect to Pluto, (This may balance out the challenges for Aries folks and prove to be fortunate for Scorpio folks)
