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.
