The Moon and Astrology: How it affects our daily life: Transiting Moon/Sign Changes: August 12 to New Moon August 23

Hi guys and gals, we are trying something new for o ur site, the idea has been rolling around in my head for a while now, but like so many of my “fabulous” idea’s, they come and then they go away…

However, this idea resurfaced during this NEW MOON phase, and they do say that, the new moon is the perfect time to begin anything new… So let’s give it a shot:

From the New Moon phase to the Full Moon phase, roughly a two week period, and then from the Full Moon phase to the New Moon phase, I will be posting the moon sign’s for that two week period  with links to past post’s, for explainations of the Moon’s position. We may repost this “list” throughout the 2 week period, in between other posts, such as “Inspirational Words” posts.

The post for this two week period begins on August 12 to New Moon on August 23

August 22: @11:07pm (PT): August 23 @2:07am (ET) NEW MOON in Virgo.

The New Moon is traditionally a good time to begin things, be they projects, jobs, relationships, what ever is new in your life that is begun under a new moon, has a greater chance of success.. Any time from the 22nd to the 24th should be positive for “new beginnings”. The traits of the Moon in Virgo will be “amplified” under the New Moon… Some of us may experience difficulty in staying asleep, or our sleep is restless…

  • Please Click here to see a past post re: “what does it all mean” when the moon is in the sign of Virgo

Aspects:

  • Squares can be challenging, two planets who don’t always get along, friction can develop, a feeling of being challenged by the other… some times we need that challenge to wake us up and get us motivated, great growth is possible, if we are up to the challenge
  • Opposition, challenging like the sqaure, but not all is lost, the planets are at odds with each other, but that doesn’t mean they can’t come to a compromise, although it may take one over the other to back down before anything can move ahead… Take a deep breath, listen to the other view point, and find the middle ground. If that can’t be done, then maybe it’s just not meant to be, aknowledging that will also “set you free”
  • Quincunx are frustrating and may require some adjustments/adjusting, they have nothing in common… We may feel forced, pushed or obligated to perform..  may also relate to health issues. Not a great time, just keep reminding yourself it will all be over soon.
  • Trines are very comfortable aspects, the planets involved are usually of the same element, (Earth, Fire, Water, Air) so they understand each other…trouble happens when comfortable take precedence over doing anything else, this aspect can induce some laziness, great it it’s time for some chilling… if it’s not that time, you may find you have to give yourself a push to get going.
  • Sextiles are planets that are of the same compatible element, (Fire and Air or Earth and Water) they have differences but totally respect each other.. so they are able to work well together.
  • Conjunctions are variable, they can be helpful or not depending on the circumstances and the people involved…

“Treasure your profound sense of humour, 

Honour the ability to laugh amid strife and earthly furor,

When life becomes too intense and you simply need to vent,

Allow your humour to unfold for it is a gift that is heaven sent,

To have the ability to simply laugh at the trials that continually press,

Your laugher then becomes a much needed release from tension and stress”.

  • August 6th: Venus enters the sign of Libra, Venus rules Libra, so this is very comfy visit for both involved… However, it may mean that some of us catch the shopping bug, shopping for clothes, home decor, perhaps a new hair cut, a visit to the spa… Good time can be had, just don’t spend more than you can afford… and some lovely experiences can be had now.
  • August 6th: Moon void of course @1:40pm (ET) @10:40am (PT)

  • August 9th @3:55 am(ET) @12:55am (PT) the moon, while still in the last degrees of Aquarius becomes FULL. All of the traits of the moon in Aquarius will be amplified, bigger then usual… take care when it comes to taking risks or being “rebellious” Could be a fantastic time to finish up any technology projects. The Full Moon is the best time to get down to business and finish up all the little chores we may have on the go, of course, we can’t attend to them all, but at least we might be able to get some finished up. Aquarius is ahead of the curve in most things, and is quite capable of doing many things, so this could be a good time for something “new” to come to fruition, that may have been sitting in the back corner for the last little while. There may be a slight Pisces “flavor” to this full moon along with the Aquarius influence.

  • August 11th, NOTE Mercury turns direct @3:30am (ET) @12:30am (PT). However, all will not go smoothly until Mercury has exited it’s storm on August 17th.

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

Present Moon Sign/Phase/House:

16341926-manga-style-illustration-of-zodiac-symbol-virgo[1]
http://www.123rf.com: Copyright : rudall30

  • 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…

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… 

  • 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. 

Thanks to Paula Belluomini, William Lilly and Llewellyn’s Daily Planetary Guide for opportunity period and dates.

  • Date: July 24 @11:28am (ET) @8:28am (PT)
  • Moon Sign: Leo 
  • Moon Phase: 4th
  • Void-off-Course: July 26 @7:02am (ET) @4:02am (PT) to moon into Virgo later in the afternoon:  Leo Moon v/c is not one of the 4 “good signs”
  • Opportunity Period: July 25th 10:58 am (ET) 7:58 am (PT) to void of course moon.
  • “Wait two hours after the conjunction to allow enough separation of the Moon from the Sun and use this OP for self-improvement, relationship building or what ever interests you” PB

What does it all mean?

  • The Leo Moon Loves Drama, so be warned… 
  • The Leo Moon loves to noticed and recognized, so be prepared to “pump up” your loved ones and if you happened to have a Leo influence in yourself, be aware of how you may be going about getting recognized or appreciated… If you play your cards right this could be a positive time when you get to be where you need to be.
  • Try not to be overly “vain” and be prepared for drama at any-time from any direction
  • Try not to over react and if it’s not you doing the over reacting, try not to get caught up in the drama, or to encourage the over reactor
  • It’s a good time to check out the local talent, take in a down town show, get starry-eyed with your lover, or perhaps look for a new one, as romance is high on the priority ladder during this time. 
  • Might prove positive for hair cuts, make overs. 
  • The Moon in Leo may be good for the following activities:
  • Beauty Treatments (Better when the moon is in the 1st or 2nd quarter):
  • Break Habits:
  • Buying a home (Better when the moon is in the 1st quarter):
  • Entertaining Guests:
  • Fixing cars:(Better when the moon is in the 1st or 2nd quarter):
  • Hair cut for thickness  (Better when the moon is in the 1st or 2nd quarter):
  • Moving:
  • Mowing the lawn to retard growth:
  • Painting:
  • Pouring cement (Better when the moon is in the 3rd quarter):
  • Starting a diet:
  • Starting new construction (Better when the moon is in the 1st quarter):
  • Staring a new job (Better when the moon is in the 1st or 2nd quarter)
  • This moon period will affect everyone, but more so those who have the following in their charts: And those who have a strong Capricorn or Aquarius placement in their charts. 
    • Moon in Leo:
    • Sun in Leo:  
    • Moon in Aquarius
    • Sun in Aquarius
    • Moon in the 5th house 
    • Aspects to the Moon, Sun or Uranus
    • Ascendant in Leo
    • Mid-heaven in Leo
  • NOTES:
  • The New Moon occurs on July 24 @3:11 pm (ET) @12:11 pm (PT) in the sign of Leo:
  • All of the above will be “bigger” under the New Moon energy, presently in the 4th quarter.
  • It is said that the new moon is a good time to begin projects, relationships, jobs etc… Wait until the 19 when she is fully into the 1st quarter to begin anything.
  • Leo interests such as FUN, Speculation, Children, Creativity and Animals will be highlighted during this months New Moon. 
  • The Sun moved into the sign of Leo on July 22 @9:29 am (ET) @6:29 am (PT). Leo is organized, creative, smart and can be slightly lazy, but he/she usually always steps up to the plate when the need is real…
  • Risk takers, the Leo can accomplish much in life, but they must be careful of not taking risks just for the sake of taking them… Leo is a fixed, fire sign, with Aquarius being the opposite sign to Leo…  Happy Birthday to all the Leo’s out there, we wish you a year ahead filled with good health, prosperity, love and tons of fun…

The Moon and Astrology; How it affects our daily life; Transiting Moon in Gemini April 2025

 Present Moon Sign/Phase/House:

  • Date: April 28 @11:34pm (PT) April 29 @2:34am (ET)

  • Moon Phase: 1st
  • Void-of-Course: April 30 @11:49pm (ET) @8:49pm (PT) to moon into Cancer on May 1st.

What does it all mean?

  • Gemini is an air sign and needs lots of stimuli. She is ruled by Mercury and connected to the 3rd house.
  • We could find ourselves busy, with multiple things going on, even if they are just in our own minds…😉
  • Dealings with family, especially siblings, are likely. 
  • We may find we are trying to do multiple things at once, which may not go exactly as planned. If you do find you have tons of ideas spinning around in your head, take pen to paper and jot them down… it will ease the “inside chatter” and you may find some of them useful later on. 
  • Some of us may have to make a concerted effort to listen instead of chat.
  • Caution is advised when doing up letters, emails and relaying messages, as much as we may think we have it right, it’s better to check one more time 
  • It’s a good time to get those lists and notes made up… 
  • Boredom may be at our door step and we may feel more restless than usual. 
  • The next few days may be positive for: buying a vehicle, entertaining guests, hair cut (for less growth), joining a club, sending mail, and mowing the lawn to retard growth. 
  • This moon sign will have more of an effect on those who have the following in their charts.
        • Sun in Gemini

  • Moon in Gemini conjuncts Jupiter in Gemini: 12:58pm (ET) 9:58am (PT)
  • Moon in Gemini sextiles Chiron in Aries late afternoon:
  • The moon in Gemini squares Saturn in Pisces not long before midnight.

Wednesday, April 30th:

  • Venus enters the sign of Aries @1:16pm (ET) @10:16am (PT). Venus isn’t entirely comfortable in this position, so she isn’t as “powerful” or steady on her feet as she usually is… Venus rules Libra, Mars rules Aries, they are opposites… However, that’s not always a bad thing, while opposites don’t always see eye to eye, they do make us see things in a different light, and can show us alternative ways of doing things….

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…  

  • 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. 

Thanks to Paula Belluomini present day astrologer, William Lilly 17th century astrologer and Llewellyn’s Daily Planetary Guide for opportunity periods and dates.
