Astrology and how it affects our daily life: Mercury and Venus into Aries

Astrological Event: Planets moving into a new sign
Date: March 6 2018: Mercury @ 11:34 pm March 5 (PT) and 2:34 am March 6 (ET)
Event: Two planets move into a new sign: Mercury and Venus both move into Aries: Mercury will remain in Aries (via retrograde) until May 14. Venus will remain in Aries until the beginning of April.

What does this mean?Mercury into Aries:

Mercury is the planet of communication, technology and transportation. He is the ruler of two signs: Gemini and Virgo.

Aries is a fire sign, he can be selfish, forward thinking and brave. He is action.

Mercury in Aries: It’s all about getting things done now… no more talking or planning it’s time for action. We can be more forthcoming in our conversations now and some of us will be braver about our speech, we aren’t as shy about saying what we mean and speaking up and out for ourselves and loved ones. However, for those who have more than one fire in their charts, it might be wise to “dampen” down the blunt side of your conversations… ;) Extra care should be taken when driving, the speed signs are there for a reason… When rushing about trying to get things done, patience is recommended, it’s easy to get a bump on the noggin or a cut on the finger through rushing too much..

Venus into Aries: 

Venus is the planet of money, relationships, beauty, love and all things nice… ;) She also rules two signs, Taurus and Libra.

Aries is the opposite sign of Libra. He is ruled by Mars, the planet of action/war.

Venus in Aries: Wow what a combination for all the lovers out there… Those in relationships that have just begun or on the verge of beginning can expect the relationship to either move ahead, or stop… there is no more time for wondering. In the physical department, it’s likely to be more “active” and a lot of fun.. ;) … The down side to this combination is that some relationships may come to a rather quick end… which will be a challenge for the more sensitive folks, especially if they didn’t realize anything was amiss… :(.  Watch the budget while this influence is about, Venus loves beautiful things, Aries can be generous and other times he can appear to be “frugal”… However, fun can be had and beautiful things purchased when Venus and Aries are in positive aspect to one another… :)

Astrology and how it affects our daily life: Jupiter turns retrograde: March 8 2018

Astrological Event:

Jupiter enters Retrograde Motion… 

Date: March 8 2018 

Time: 11:45 pm (ET) 8:45 pm (PT)

In the Sign of: Scorpio 

What does this mean? 


    • Jupiter is the planet of expansion and luck… when he goes retrograde situations might not “grow” as quickly, or our plans may not go the way we may have expected them too. However, because Jupiter is a benefice (beneficially) planet, the effects of the retrograde motion is unlikely to be too devastating

    • Scorpio is the most intense of all of the zodiac signs, she feels everything completely … which can cause trouble sometimes… for Scorpio herself and those around her…

    • Jupiter rules the sign of Sagittarius which is a fire sign, Scorpio is a water sign and is ruled by Pluto… Some folks may be feeling a “dispute” between emotions and logic… torn between what are lies and what is the truth… Sagittarius needs to know the truth.. Scorpio can lie to save herself or someone she loves… all done with the best intentions…

    • We should be on the look out for a decrease in our energy levels, a stronger desire to have more, be better or know everything…

    • Folks who are usually “lucky” might find that Lady Luck is having a bit of a vacation… risk taking and speculation should be kept to a minimum when possible.

    • Weight gain may occur, especially in those who have a hard time with physical exercise…

    • Sports minded folks,  may not have the optimism or energy level they are used to, but it’s only for a little while and some folks may actually need a break…

    • Everyone will be affected by the Jupiter Retrograde, however, folks with the following in their charts are likely to be affected the most…
  • Sun in Sagittarius
  • Sun in the 9th house
  • Jupiter in Sagittarius
  • Ascendent in Sagittarius
  • Midheaven in Sagittarius
  • Any aspects to Jupiter, the Moon or the 9th house
  • Moon in Sagittarius

Pisces: Feminine, Mutable, Water: 

  • Pisces folk are compassionate and can have a habit of rescuing strays, (people and animals)… Feeling everything around you, (emotionally) it can be exhausting for you to spend too much time among crowds :) 
  • Spending time alone is good for you and should be encouraged as long as you don’t spend too much time in your “wonder land” … a place most Pisces’s know…. :)
  • You are encouraged to be aware of people who may take advantage of your kindness… use your strong psychic ability to sort the “wheat from the chaff” 

**Venus (relationships and money) and Mercury (communications and transportation) are both in the sign of Pisces until early March**

Thanks for caring guys….

  • Date(s): November 16 2017 3:19 am (ET) 12:19 am (PT)
  • Moon Sign: Scorpio
  • Moon Phase: 4th
  • Void-of-Course: November 18 6:42 am (ET) 3:42 am (PT) (Time of the New Moon) to Moon in Sagittarius Early in the afternoon : Scorpio is NOT one of the “good” v/c signs.
  • House(s): 1st & 2nd house: Houses of the self & of finances/material security.
  • Opportunity Period: November 18 6:18 am (ET) 3:18 am (PT) to 7:18 am (ET) 4:18 am (PT)… It’s early in the morning, but if you are up and about, it is a good time to start on that new project. 

What does it all mean?  

  • Scorpio is very intense and probably the most sensitive of the zodiac signs. She is ruled by Pluto now, but was once considered to be ruled by Mars… she likely retains some of the Martian influence. 
  • The moon relates to our emotions, indicating we could be feeling everything more deeply for the next couple of days
  • 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
  • We could be encouraged or directed towards taking risks or doing things we wouldn’t normally do, especially those of a group or team nature. 
  • Sex may be high on the agenda for some of us… so if you don’t want to help the world population grow right now use caution… :) 
  • Some of us may be highly creative right now, while others get connected to their psychic side… 
  • Secrets may be told now… we can be enticed to open up to others about our deepest feelings/fantasy’s…
  • In the 1st house: This is the house that is connected to OURSELVES… We can be overly sensitive under this influence as we are emotionally vulnerable so take care of what you THINK you are hearing… May be a good time for some of us to change-up our appearance…. and others may feel more protective or nurturing towards loved ones… This is a good time for meditation and getting in touch with our feelings… Energy levels may be higher, if they are it’s a great time to get stuff done.. However, it could be a challenge to stick to a routine or one idea now. 
  • In the 2nd house: This is the house connected to our finances and what makes us feel secure. Scorpio is connected to the 8th house & Pluto which connects to shared money matters such as insurance, mortgage, investments etc… If such issues come up right now, it’s a good time to review them. We are emotionally connected to our finances, which may affect how we are feeling over the next few days. Try not to impulse spend, especially if feeling a little “blue”. It’s best to stay grounded during this time by not attempting to do something or become a part of a situation outside of the emotional “comfort zone”.
  • This next few days may be positive for the following: Antique shopping and moving. 
  • 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..

    • Moon in Scorpio
    • Moon in Taurus
    • Sun in Scorpio
    • Ascendant in Scorpio
    • Mid-heaven in Scorpio
    • Moon in the 1st,  2nd or 8th house
    • Aspects to the Moon or Pluto
    • Ascendant or Mid-heaven in Scorpio
    • Those who have a strong Taurus chart influence. 

New Moon in Scorpio November 18 2017

 

 The above traits will be stronger under the Influence of the new moon. Be especially careful when it comes to spending money, as we can be tempted to spend more than we have, or to believe we will be capable of recouping any “overage” at a later date. Remember that Scorpio is a water sign, she feels everything intensely. .. Tempers may flair, due to misconceptions or miscommunication, The New Moon is traditionally thought of as the perfect time to begin new projects, relationships, jobs etc…. The moon moves into the 1st quarter on November 19th… it is better to wait until then to begin anything new if you can… The moon will move into the sign of Sagittarius on November 18 at 1:59 pm (ET) 10:59 am (PT). 

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-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-off-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 Jim Shawvan):

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 Jim Shawvan present day astrologer, William Lilly 17th century astrologer and Llewellyn’s Daily Planetary Guide for opportunity periods.
