  • Date: January 11 @11:24pm (ET) @8:24pm (PT)
  • Moon Sign: Cancer
  • Moon Phase: 2nd
  • Void-of-Course: January 13 @11:46pm (ET) @8:46pm (PT) to moon into Leo on the 14th
  • Opportunity Period: January 13th just before the void of course moon, until the moon moves into the sign of Leo

What does it all mean?

  • The moon is happy in the sign of Cancer because she rules here. Being sympathetic towards the worries of others is easier, we are more empathetic now. 
  • We can be more nurturing when there is a cancer moon
  • Domestic chores and responsibilities may be easier to do now, in fact some of us may be very happy making our home comfortable and safe
  • Cooking may be fun to do now,  so go ahead and try out that new recipe
  • The more emotionally sensitive of us, may take offense or feel slighted or more vulnerable during the Cancer moon… Caution is advised though, check your facts before you “accuse”. 
  • Some of us may feel needy, while others of us are happy to be the cuddler, helping our loved ones feel secure and in deed needed. Caution is advised that some of us can go over board on the needy thing during this moon period, so be careful if you don’t want to “scare” someone off… 
  • This may be a good time to learn new things, especially those that relate to the domestic front or family. Take up a cooking class, or try new recipes, decorate the home or enjoy craft projects with the kids. This may also be a good time to do some tidy up and mini reno’s on the house.  
  • This may be a positive time for: Beauty treatments, Brewing beer, Buying antiques, Buying for speculation, Can foods, Collect on debts, Hair cut (for growth) and plant bulbs from seeds.
  • This moon sign will have more of an effect on those who have the following in their charts. 
  • Moon in Cancer: (these folk may really feel the influence of the moon, emotions may be close to the surface)
  • Sun in Cancer:
  • Moon in the 4th house
  • Aspects to the Moon.
  • To a lessor extent, those who have personal planets in Capricorn.

The Full Moon occurs on Monday January 13th @5:27 pm(ET) @2:27pm(PT)) in the sign of Cancer. The influence of the Cancer moon will be strong and may cause some of us to feel off kilter emotionally… If you are feeling overly restless or emotional, take care of how you react as it is very easy to over react during this time. The full moon is traditionally thought of, as a time to finish up tasks and for things to come to a conclusion. If you have important papers to sign or significant events to attend/organize take care of the small print and don’t make decisions based on emotional responses… ;) check the facts… 

 


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… 

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 Paula Belluomini)

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.

The Moon and Astrology; How it affects our daily life; Transiting FULL MOON in Gemini December 2024

 Present Moon Sign/Phase/House:

  • Gemini-16Date: December 13 @ 12:22pm (ET) @9:22am (PT)
  • Moon Sign: Gemini:
  • Moon Phase: 2nd
  • Void-of-Course: December 15 @9:32 am(ET) @6:32 am(PT) to moon into Cancer later in the afternoon
  • Opportunity Period: None

What does it all mean?

  • Gemini is an air sign and needs lots of stimuli. She is ruled by Mercury.
  •  We could find ourselves busy with multiple things going on, even if they are just in our own minds… ;) Dealings with family, especially siblings and neighbours 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. 
  • We may have to make a concerted effort to listen instead of chat. :)
  • Caution is advised when writing 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, 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
        • Mercury in Gemini
        • Ascendant in Gemini
        • Midheaven in Gemini
        • Any aspects to the Sun, Moon, Mercury 
        • Those who have a strong Sagittarius influence in their chart

NOTES:

FULL MOON: Sunday, December 15 @4:02am (ET) @1:02am (PT)

  • The Full Moon is traditionally a positive time to let go of situations, jobs, career’s, relationships and material possessions, basically anything that is no longer working for us.
  • This is a time of completion and of endings…
  • All the traits of a Gemini Moon will be amplified by the Full Moon position…

Happy Full Moon in Gemini :)

Sunday, December 15th @ 3:56pm (ET) @ 12:56pm (PT) Mercury, the planet that rules Gemini, turns direct… However, he isn’t fully feeling like his old self just yet, as he is still in “storm”… He will be full steam ahead on Friday December 20th.

Mercury, rules such things as communication, transportation and technology, if you have been experiencing some glitches in these area’s, hold tight, things will be getting better over the next few days…

The Moon and Astrology: How it affects our daily life…Transiting Moon in Capricorn… Transiting Jupiter goes Retrograde October 2024

Present Moon Sign/Phase/House:

  • Date: October 9 @5:38 am(ET) @2:38 am(PT)
  • Moon Sign: Capricorn
  • Moon Phase: 1st moves into 2nd sometime on the 10th
  • Void-of-Course: October 11 @11:53am(ET) @8:53am(PT) to moon into Aquarius just after noon.  Capricorn Moon v/c is not one of the 4 “good signs” 
  • Opportunity Period: None

What does it all mean?

  • Capricorn is business, duty and discipline. She is ruled by Saturn, the planet of restrictions. 
  • Change may be more challenging to deal with, and we may be resistant towards it…  
  • 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 favourable time or a stressful one. 
  • Good time to watch, listen and learn
  • This moon sign will have more of an effect on those who have the following in their charts. And those who have a strong Cancer placing in their charts. 
  • Moon in Capricorn
  • Sun in Capricorn
  • Saturn in Capricorn
  • Moon in Cancer
  • Any aspects to the Moon or Saturn

NOTES:
  • Jupiter, the planet of expansion, currently in the sign of Gemini, goes into retrograde motion on October 9th @ 3:05am (ET) @12:05am (PT).
  • Gemini is chatty, sociable, can be community orientated and neighbourly… However, Gemini may also be superficial and attracted to the latest trends… Being in Jupiter while he is in retrograde motion, may slow us down a bit regarding our ability to communicate, probably a good thing, as during such times, it is a good idea to think carefully before we speak… Community events may not go as planned, but will still be fun and productive. Some of us may be feeling more restless then usual. 
  • When Jupiter visits a sign/house, he encourages growth in that life area, he is a jolly sort and likes to grow, learn and risk a thing a two along the way to allow growth to happen… Trips and learning something new can be exciting.. However, while Jupiter is in retrograde motion what happens now, may have to be repeated sometime in the future… Don’t be alarmed if you have to re-take a test/exam or are not able to finish all your vacation plans… Retrograde times are times of learning… Jupiter is a lucky planet, he holds open doors of opportunity, he will remain Mr. Jolly always, it will be up to us, during retrograde times to be aware that not everything will pan out the way we thought it might, and we may have to look a little bit harder for those open doors of opportunity. 
  • Friday October 11th: Yom Kippur Begins and Sundown
  • Friday October 11th: Pluto, in the sign of Capricorn goes Direct. 

Wishing a very Happy Born Day to our sister in law Marie this week…. May the coming year be filled with good health, happiness and joy… 

  • 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 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… 
  • 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.

Aspects:

The Moon and Astrology: How it affects our daily life… Transiting New Moon in Virgo September 2024

Present Moon Sign/Phase/House

  • Date: September 1 @ 11:48pm (ET) @ 8:48pm (PT)
  • Moon Sign: Virgo
  • Moon Quarter: 4th moves into the 1st on the 3rd
  • Void-of-Course: September 4th @12:06 pm(ET) @9:06 am(PT) to Moon in Libra later that afternoon.  Virgo Moon v/c is not one of the 4 “good signs”
  • 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 needs things to be “correct” or “perfect”. Try to give yourself and others 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.
  • These next few days may be good for: Breaking bad habits: Fixing cars: 
  • 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 strong Pisces placement in their charts.. 

NOTES

  • September 1 Uranus goes retrograde: Uranus is the planet of shock and chaos… He rules the sign of Aquarius. When a planet goes retrograde, things can get a little muddled up, it’s possible that the “power” of Uranus will be muted somewhat under the Retrograde motion… However, because Uranus is unpredictable, the retrograde motion may cause some unexpected upsets. 
  • September 2 NEW MOON in Virgo @9:56 pm (ET) @6:56 pm(PT). A new moon is  good time to begin new projects, relationships, jobs, career’s moving to a better place…etc.. an auspicious time for back to school, University or College… Good Luck Everyone…  😊
  • Labour Day in Canada and the USA
