What does it all mean?  

  • Scorpio is intense and one of the most “sensitive” of the zodiac signs
  • The moon relates to our emotions and how we react to situations and people
  • We can immerse ourselves in our projects now.
  • Watch for becoming obsessed with someone or something…. not everyone falls for someone at the same time and patience may be needed regarding sensitive relationship matters
  • Be sure that your partner, friend, lover, co-worker or school friend is really trying to upset your personal apple cart before making waves
  • Some of us may be highly creative, while others may connect with their psychic side… 
  • Secrets may be told now… we can be enticed to open up to others about our deepest feelings/fantasy’s…Take care with whom you share your secrets if you don’t want them “displayed” at a later date. Some folks may keep your information until it suits them to use it without your consent.
  • While we will all be effected slightly by the Scorpio moon, she will have a greater effect on those who have the following in their charts.. and those who have a strong Aries or Taurus placement in their charts. 
    • Moon in Scorpio
    • Sun in Scorpio
    • Ascendant in Scorpio
    • Mid-heaven in Scorpio
    • Moon in 8th house
    • Mid-heaven in Scorpio
    • Those who have a strong Taurus chart influence. 
  • NOTES:
  •   March 28 looks like a fairly busy day in the celestial realm .. with the moon making trines (Saturn and Venus), sextiles, (Uranus) oppositions (Jupiter and Uranus) and semi-sextiles.. (Chiron).
  • March 29th is Good Friday: Traditionally a day for Fish and chips or any other fish dish for supper. This is the day Jesus was crucified on the cross.

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… The moon stays with each sign for up to 2.5 days…. :) 

The Moon Void-off-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… 

Good for Void-Off-Course Moon:

These v/c signs may prove to be quite productive times.

  • 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. 

Thanks to Paula Belluomini present day astrologer, William Lilly 17th century astrologer and Llewellyn’s Daily Planetary Guide for opportunity periods.

Happy Easter…. Good Friday April 18 2014: Easter Sunday April 20 2014

SGC Admin: Easter is a Christian celebration and observation.

Jesus Christ was crucified on Good Friday and rose from the dead on Easter Sunday…

Many people enjoy this celebration regardless of religious denomination as Easter is also a sign of spring.

Good Friday may be a statutory holiday in some countries, where business’s, banks, post office, and most stores are closed.

Our thanks to Wikipedia for the following information on this widely observed holiday. 

Easter[nb 1][nb 2] (also called the Pasch[1][2] or Pascha[nb 3][3]) is a Christian festival and holiday celebrating the resurrection of Jesus Christ on the third day after his crucifixion at Calvary as described in the New Testament.[4][5] Easter is the culmination of the Passion of Christ, preceded by Lent, a forty-day period of fasting, prayer, and penance. The last week of Lent is called Holy Week, and it contains the days of the Easter Triduum, including Maundy Thursday (also known as Holy Thursday), commemorating the Last Supper and its preceding foot washing,[6][7] as well as Good Friday, commemorating thecrucifixion and death of Jesus.[8] Easter is followed by a fifty-day period called Eastertideor the Easter Season, ending with Pentecost Sunday.

Easter is a moveable feast, meaning it is not fixed in relation to the civil calendar. The First Council of Nicaea (325) established the date of Easter as the first Sunday after the full moon (the Paschal Full Moon) following the March equinox.[9] 

Ecclesiastically, the equinox is reckoned to be on 21 March (even though the equinox occurs, astronomically speaking, on 20 March in most years), and the “Full Moon” is not necessarily the astronomically correct date. The date of Easter therefore varies between 22 March and 25 April. 

Eastern Christianity bases its calculations on the Julian calendar whose 21 March corresponds, during the 21st century, to 3 April in the Gregorian calendar, in which the celebration of Easter therefore varies between 4 April and 8 May.

Easter is linked to the Jewish Passover by much of its symbolism, as well as by its position in the calendar. In many languages, the words for “Easter” and “Passover” are etymologically related or homonymous.[10]

Easter customs vary across the Christian world, but attending sunrise services, exclaiming the Paschal greeting, clipping the church and decorating Easter eggs, a symbol of the empty tomb, are common motifs.[11][12][13]

Additional customs include egg hunting, the Easter Bunny, and Easter parades, which are observed by both Christians and some non-Christians

SGC Admin: Just wanted to add something new I found out regarding Easter Eggs, thanks to Tammy of Magical Dreams. It’s a legend/myth involving the Goddess Ostara (Eostre)

A very long time ago Goddess Ostara/Eostre found an injured bird and wanted to heal it and the story goes in order to do so, the Goddess had to change the near-death bird into a Hare  … However, the Hare although healthy in all ways had once distinct difference from all the other Hares…  instead of having babies this special Hair laid beautiful colourful Eggs…. And since that time we celebrate Easter with bunnies and eggs… :)
