What does it Mean? 

  • Mercury is the planet of communications and technology, he is what makes us think. He is the ruler of Virgo and Gemini
  • Libra is the sign of harmony, relationships and justice… She is ruled by Venus and is connected to the 7th house of relationships. 
  • This could be a good combination for communications, especially those requiring thought.. although this combination may also lengthen a process, as Libra takes her time, weighing all the odds before making up her mind. 
  • Communications in the work place can go well now, take care when  signing any contracts.
  • Business negotiations have a good chance of running smoothly, compromises can be made and “promises” kept… However, take care before signing any agreements… the good feeling that’s going around can cause us to make mistakes now. 
  • This is good time to discuss relationship issues, if you have been waiting for the right time, it’s now.. :) 
  • Beginning a new relationship during this phase, could work out in the positive. Honest communication with an open mind and heart is easier now. 
  • This “event” will have an affect on everyone, but will have a stronger and longer affect on those who have the following in their chart… :) 
    • Mercury in Libra
    • Venus in Libra
    • Mercury in the 7th house
    • Sun in Libra
    • Moon in Libra
    • Ascendant or Mid-heaven in Libra
    • Aspects to Venus or Mercury

What does it Mean? 

  • Mercury is the planet of communications and technology, he is what makes us think.
  • Cancer is about caring and nurturing the people and things they love. 
  • Our focus may be on our domestic chores
  • We are capable of coming up with sound, practical ideas relating to your home, garden and family life. 
  • Our office may get a bit of sprucing up, especially with family photo’s and the like
  • Some of us could be extra sensitive to the words of others, indicating it is a good idea for everyone to think before speaking or “judging” 
  • It’s possible to tackle more than one task now, but it’s likely we may choose to focus on one at a time. 
  • Listening to the worries and woes of others is very easy for some folk now, so if you need a shoulder, sourcing out a cancer influenced person might be just the person to turn to. 
  • Health issues with the tummy or breast area could be a concern for some
  • While everyone will be slightly affected by Mercury in Cancer those with the following in their charts will be affected to a deeper degree. 
  • Mercury in Cancer

Astrology and how it affects our daily life: Mercury and Venus into Aries

Astrological Event: Planets moving into a new sign
Date: March 6 2018: Mercury @ 11:34 pm March 5 (PT) and 2:34 am March 6 (ET)
Event: Two planets move into a new sign: Mercury and Venus both move into Aries: Mercury will remain in Aries (via retrograde) until May 14. Venus will remain in Aries until the beginning of April.

What does this mean?Mercury into Aries:

Mercury is the planet of communication, technology and transportation. He is the ruler of two signs: Gemini and Virgo.

Aries is a fire sign, he can be selfish, forward thinking and brave. He is action.

Mercury in Aries: It’s all about getting things done now… no more talking or planning it’s time for action. We can be more forthcoming in our conversations now and some of us will be braver about our speech, we aren’t as shy about saying what we mean and speaking up and out for ourselves and loved ones. However, for those who have more than one fire in their charts, it might be wise to “dampen” down the blunt side of your conversations… ;) Extra care should be taken when driving, the speed signs are there for a reason… When rushing about trying to get things done, patience is recommended, it’s easy to get a bump on the noggin or a cut on the finger through rushing too much..

Venus into Aries

Venus is the planet of money, relationships, beauty, love and all things nice… ;) She also rules two signs, Taurus and Libra.

Aries is the opposite sign of Libra. He is ruled by Mars, the planet of action/war.

Venus in Aries: Wow what a combination for all the lovers out there… Those in relationships that have just begun or on the verge of beginning can expect the relationship to either move ahead, or stop… there is no more time for wondering. In the physical department, it’s likely to be more “active” and a lot of fun.. ;) … The down side to this combination is that some relationships may come to a rather quick end… which will be a challenge for the more sensitive folks, especially if they didn’t realize anything was amiss… :(.  Watch the budget while this influence is about, Venus loves beautiful things, Aries can be generous and other times he can appear to be “frugal”… However, fun can be had and beautiful things purchased when Venus and Aries are in positive aspect to one another… :)

The Moon & Astrology; how it affects our daily life: Transiting NEW Moon In Leo (2) July 2017

Present Moon Sign/Phase/House:

  • Date:  July 23 4:34 am (ET) 1:34 am (PT) 2017
  • Moon Sign: Leo
  • Moon Phase: 4th Moves into the 1st on July 24
  • Void-off-Course: July 25 @ 5:22 am(ET)2 :22 am (PT) to Virgo Moon a few hours later: *Leo Moon* v/c is not one of the 4 “good signs”
  • House(s): 11th house of hobbies, friends, groups and teamwork. (Equal house system)
  • Opportunity Period: July 24 10:55 am (ET) 7:55 am (PT) to V/C on July 25th: Do what you can to make use of this time period… :) May be more helpful towards Leo types. 

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. 
  • In the 11th house: This is a time to find that new group or join that sports team you have been thinking of doing… It’s spring after all and for those of us in the cooler climates it’s a perfect time to re-connect with like-minded folks. Finding workable solutions to challenging situations may be easier to do under this influence, as we are more inclined to work together as opposed to trying to do everything on our own. It’s also a time, when we are happy to do some good within our communities. 
  • This may be a positive time for: Beauty treatments: Borrowing money: Buying a home: Entertaining Guests: Fixing Cars: Hair Cut (For thickness): Moving: Mowing the Law (to retard growth): Painting: Pouring Cement: Starting new construction: Starting a new job: 
  • This moon period will affect everyone, but more so those who have the following in their charts:

    • Moon in Leo:
    • Sun in Leo:  
    • Moon in Aquarius
    • Sun in Aquarius
    • Moon in the 11th house
    • Moon in the 5th house 
    • Aspects to the moon or the Sun
  •  Those who have a strong Aquarius placement in their charts may also feel this moon’s influence more than others. 

The new moon occurs in Leo at 0/44 on Sunday July 23: Traditionally, it is thought, that when the moon renews herself, it is also a good time for us to renew, or begin…This month, when the moon becomes new on Sunday , she will be still be sitting in the 4th quarter…  she will move into the 1st quarter on Monday. making Monday the better day to begin our projects. The new moon can be a positive and uplifting time, and when she is in a fire sign like Leo, it can also be a good time to get involved in more active, fun and somewhat “risky” ;) endeavors.

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 is not 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… 

Good for Void-Of-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.
