  • NOTES:
  • November 5th is fireworks/bonfire night in the United Kingdom… remembering the day when a person by the name of Guy Fawkes tried to blow up the houses of Parliament, to express his upset with the government. Bonfires are built, and comfort foods and drink are enjoyed by the community/neighbourhood/family
  • FULL MOON occurs on November 5th @ 8:19am (ET) @5:19am (PT) in the sign of Taurus.
  • All Taurus traits will be amplified.
  • The Full Moon is traditionally said to be the best time to tie up loose ends, finish projects and “move” away from people, places and things that longer hold a positive energy in your life.
  • Taurus is connected to personal and financial security, comfort and hard work… She is ruled by the planet Venus, sensual and sensible…
  • Our focus is most likely to be on what makes us feel secure… comfort food and comfortable clothes could be on the agenda.
  • Mercury is the planet of communications, transportation and technology.
  • He rules Gemini and Virgo.
  • Mercury is connect to communication, transportation and technology.
  • Mercury moves into his “storm” on Tuesday, November 4th.. “The storm acts like the retrograde. Not favorable to start new projects-just follow through with the items that are already on your plate> Write down new ideas with the date and time they occur” Llewellyn’s 2025 guide

The affects of the transiting moon, planet movements and the Full/New Moon positions, while affecting all of us an a small level, those who share the planetary signs in play, will feel the affects more… as will those who share the opposite signs to those in play… IE: Moon in Aries, will affect those with Aries chart placements, along with those with Libra chart placements, more than folks who don’t have any such chart influences.

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 square, 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, acknowledging 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…

Happy Birthday Libra Folks…

We wish you a year ahead filled with love, laughter, prosperity and good health…

CHEERS 🥂🍻

September 21  NEW MOON in Virgo. (this months moon falls in the void of course area, the moon is no longer in the sign of Virgo but is shadowing the moon in that sign… the next moon sign is Libra right behind the VOC position. It is possible that this new moon, will show traits of both signs… Virgo and Libra. 

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 21nd to the 23rd 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…

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 square, 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.

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…

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…

SGC gives thanks to Karen for her inspirational words, created in her “Messages from the Rose” Card Deck.

We don’t have a last name for Karen, she was one of our consignment family from when we had our physical store front, many years ago, We are grateful to have retained one deck of Karen’s cards, and we are delighted to share her positive outlook with you all.

August 6 2025:

 

“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”.

  • Moon in 2nd quarter
  • August 5th aspects: The moon Quincunx Uranus in Gemini, Squares Saturn and Neptune in Aries, Quincunx to Mercury in Leo and makes an opposition to Venus in Cancer. Aspects begin @3:06 pm (ET) and end at 11:38pm (PT).

  • 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)
  • Please Click here to see a past post re: “what does it all mean” when the moon is in the sign of Capricorn
  • August 7th: Moon in Aquarius @9:18pm (ET) @6:18pm (PT)
  • Moon in the 2nd quarter:
  • The moon’s aspects, Trines to Mars in Libra and Uranus in Gemini, Sextiles to Saturn and Neptune in Aries and a conjuction to Pluto in Aquarious. Aspects begin @ 10:35pm (ET) @7:35 pm (PT) and end @ 10:26 pm (PT).

  • August 9th: Void of course @3:55 am(ET) @12:55am (PT)
  • Please Click here to see a past post re: “what does it all mean” when the moon is in the sign of Aquarius
  • August 9th: Moon in Pisces @11:50pm (PT)
  • August 10th Moon in Pisces @2:50am (ET)
  • Moon in 2nd Quarter
  • 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 10th: Moon in 3rd quarter
  • August 10th: Opportune Time @4:53 am (ET) @1:52am (PT) until the moon enters Aries on the 12th: “With Mercury just runing direct, this long OP is great for the arts, mind expansion, and making remarkably good connections, aided by the Venus-Jupiter Conjunction” PB
  • Apsects on the 10th: Moon in Pisces squares Uranus in Gemini, Quincunx Mars in Libra, Mars in Libra Trines Pluto in Aquarius, Moon in Pisces Quincunx Mercury in Leo, Trines Venus and Jupiter in Cancer.
  • August 10th: Moon void of Course @11:55pm (PT)
  • August 11th: Moon void of Course @2:55 am (ET). There is one aspect before the moon goes voc, Moon in Pisces Trines Venus in cancer.
  • 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.
