  • 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…

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…

The Moon and Astrology: How it affects our daily life…Transiting Moon in Aquarius.. March 2024

Whoops, first posting didn’t post correctly… sorry guys… ;) 

Present Moon Sign/Phase/House:

Copyright : Natalia Hubbert
  • Date: March 6 @7:38pm (ET) @4:38(PT)
  • Moon Sign: Aquarius 
  • Moon Quarter: 4th
  • Void-of-Course: March 8 @1:56pm(ET) @10:56am(PT)  Aquarius Moon v/c is not one of the 4 “good signs” Try not to make any important decisions or commitments now. 
  • Opportunity Period: March 8th @3:50am(ET) 12:50am (PT) “A friendly Friday morning to socialize and spend time with others” PB

What does it all mean?

  • Aquarius is ahead of his time, he is capable of thinking and “seeing” things in a different way then the rest of us. This makes the Aquarius moon phase and inventive one. 
  • Aquarius is ruled by Uranus,  the planet of  shock and chaos. His original ruler was Saturn, until Uranus was discovered. And like Uranus, Aquarius folks can surprise us sometimes, they can be rebellious and “cranky” or open minded and extremely helpful. 
  • We may feel more inclined towards kindness, especially on a “global” level or towards animals, the elderly and those worse off than us. Aquarius has a distinctly humanitarian streak. 
  • The time may be right to understand/learn about new technology, such as a new phone, tablet or t.v. coding or crypto.
  • We may be feeling more rebellious than usual, prompting us to try new things and/or meet new people. 
  • Be careful not to break tradition just because one feels like being different. Teenagers may feel the need to express themselves, so parents be for-warned. 
  • Personal freedom and individuality is very important now. Partner’s try not to restrict each other’s movements. Parent’s, it might be a tight line you walk now. Employer’s give your “worker’s” a little “slack”. 
  • Changes may be in the air…if you are o.k. with change, or you absolutely have to make changes, now could be an excellent time to go ahead with your plans.
  • Maybe a good time for inventions.
  • When the moon is in Aquarius she will have more of an effect on those who have the following in their charts. along with those with strong Leo placements in their charts. 
  • The next few days may be positive for the following: Joining a club, borrowing money, fixing cars, hair care (colors and chemical treatments), moving, painting, pouring cement, starting a new job or new construction. 
  • Moon in Aquarius
  • Sun in Aquarius
  • Uranus in Aquarius
  • Moon in the  11th house
  • Moon in Leo (to a lessor extent)
  • Ascendant or Mid-heaven in Aquarius
  • Any aspects to the Moon or the sun . 
  • Those who have a strong Leo or Aquarius chart influence.

NOTES: 

03/07: Throughout the day, the moon forms a square with Jupiter in Taurus, a sextile with Chiron in Aries and a conjunction with Mars in Aquarius. Squares are challenging, and can force one into action. And while no one takes pleasure in challenging times, sometimes it is during these times that our best growth can occur. Sextiles are positive, and help us to see the joy in life, they are more helpful, then forceful, and sometimes need a nudge to assist with change.. Conjunctions can go either way, they are sort of neutral, depending on the circumstances.

03/08: Throughout the day, the moon is still in sextile with Chiron, still in conjunction to Mars,  and has now also formed a square with Uranus in Taurus. (Uranus rules Aquarius, making this a stronger influence) and later in the afternoon forms a conjunction with Venus  in Aquarius. Mercury in Pisces, (the sun is also currently in Pisces) conjuncts Neptune in Pisces, (Neptune rules Pisces)

The Moon & Astrology; how it affects our daily life: Transiting Moon In Leo: Transiting Mercury into Pisces: February 2024

Present Moon Sign/Phase/House:

Copyright : Olena Bogadereva
  • Date: February 21 @8:40am (ET) 5:40am (PT)
  • Moon Sign: Leo
  • Moon Phase: 2nd
  • Void-off-Course: February 22 @11:18pm (ET) @ 8:18pm (PT) to moon into Virgo on the 23rd. Leo Moon v/c is not one of the 4 “good signs”
  • Opportunity Period:None.

What does it all mean?

  • The Leo Moon Loves Drama, so be warned… 
  • The Leo Moon loves to be 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. 
  • This moon period will affect everyone, but more so those who have the following in their charts: And those who have a strong 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 or Sun 
    • Ascendant in Leo
    • Mid-heaven in Leo

 NOTES: February 22 @11:29 pm (PT) and on February 23 @2:29 am (ET), Mercury moves into the sign of Pisces. Mercury rules over things like communications, technology and transportation. He rules the signs of Gemini and Virgo. Pisces is the “end of the line” when it comes to zodiac signs, corresponding to the 12th house in the wheel and ruled by the elusive planet Neptune. 

Pisces is in Detriment when she is hanging out with Mercury, meaning, she isn’t at her best, perhaps feeling a little less confident then usual, which may have her getting slightly more muddled in her thinking and communicating. 

We love our Pisces people, we couldn’t survive without them, for they are full of compassion for their fellow human beings.. Pisces is trusting, even when her gut is screaming at her something isn’t right…  While this visit from Mercury will affect us all, those with strong Pisces chart influences will feel the affects the most.

We should all take care when we share experiences or stories,  as we may be tempted to embellish without really knowing we are doing so. On the other end, we should take care of how we listen… don’t take everything at face value, we may not be being told the absolute truth.

Pisces is a water sign, ruled by the ruler of the seas, Neptune, and since she isn’t feeling her best right now,  it may be wise for us, to take extra care with our electronic devices if we are near water. Watch you don’t  knock that coffee onto your keyboard, or drop your phone into the loo… 😮

Full Moon September 19 2013

Our lady becomes full this month at 7:36 am, September 19 2013 in the 2nd quarter.

The Moon will not be in any sign as she becomes full but will settle into visit with Aries at 12:58 pm and stay there until September 20 when she will once again become void off course until she changes signs on September 21.

Traditionally the Full Moon is thought to be a good time to finish up projects and bring things to a close.

The Moon in Aries: This could prove to be a challenging time for some. Aries is bold and brave and sometimes gets us into trouble by forging ahead without any thought to consequences. Aries is childlike in his desire to explore, which can put one into troubling or challenging circumstances. It’s easier to speak up when the moon is in Aries, we want to express our feelings and let others know we have had enough or we may simply want to be heard.

Helping us to speak up or put ourselves forward can be a good thing, especially for those of us who aren’t very good at it the rest of the time. Having the moon in Aries also helps us to focus on the self instead of others, which again is good for those who forget to include themselves in their own support network. However, the full moon as we all know can bring about some very odd behaviour in some of us, in fact most of us likely feel more agitated and less patient during a full moon, and indeed the day or so leading up to the full moon and sometimes a day or so afterwards. 

Now, if we put the full moon’s influence and Aries in the some room together we could end up with some trying moments. Aries is ruled by Mars, and Mars is the planet of aggression, he is masculine and wishes to assert himself whenever possible.  The moon represents our emotional side. 

So… it’s a very good idea to take time to monitor our emotions and reactions when these two are together, we may be prone to arguments, impulsive decisions, rushing about (which can cause accidents) and saying/doing things we later regret. Harsh words said now may cause more damage than was ever intended. It’s best to stay away from irritating people, keep to yourself (if you know you are going to be grumpy) and use the Mars energy in positive way, like cleaning out a closet or the car, or participating in sport activity that will tire you out, leaving little energy for negative behaviour. 

The Moon in the 2nd quarter: This is the time when we want to finish up our projects and feel the satisfaction of doing so. It can be a time of personal development and growth as we begin to understand ourselves a little more. Although with an Aries moon, inner growth is less likely, outer growth, such as the finishing of a work, study or sport subject may go smoothly. 

Moon in the 4th house: Focus may be on the home and private life now. Be aware of upset caused through heated discussions or arguments. Avoid domestic disputes whenever possible. 

Those most likely affected by this months full moon are those with any of the following: 

Moon in Aries: Mars in Aries: Moon in the 4th house: Mars in the 4th house

Negative aspects may produce challenging times, whereas positive aspects may produce windows of opportunity. Aspects are the connections (by degrees) that one planet or point makes to another within the charts.

When the moon is void off course we can be unsure as to how we are really feeling about something or something, it’s therefore advisable to stick to routine tasks at this time. If any legal documents or long-term commitments are in the picture take care to make sure you understand everything that is involved before signing… Delaying important decisions and commitments is highly recommended when the moon is void off course…
