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”.

- 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

- 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.

What does it all mean?
-

- We are going to want our personal freedom now, so take care partners who have a possessive or jealous tendencies, they might not be tolerated for the next couple of days.
- Because Sagittarius is ruled by Jupiter “the lucky planet” we may be feeling luckier then usual… take care not to go over the budget… :) (Jupiter changes signs on the 28th).
- We could have more energy for fun things such as music, sports and shows
- It’s easier to try something new and exciting just take care not to get carried away.
- Could be a good time to take a few days for rest, relaxation and laughter
- Good time for day dreaming and making fantastic plans for the future.
- While this moon will have a slight effect on all of us… those with the following in their charts will feel it stronger as will those who have a strong Gemini placement in their charts.
-
- Moon in Sagittarius
- Jupiter in Sagittarius
- Moon in the 9th house
- Ascendant in Sagittarius
- Mid-heaven in Sagittarius
- Sun in Sagittarius
- Aspects to the Moon and Jupiter.
- NOTES:
- June 20 @4:51pm (ET) @1:51pm (PT) The Sun transits into the sign of Cancer: Cancer is ruled by the moon and is connected to the 4th house. Emotionally sensitive, nurturing and caring… Cancer folks enjoy cooking for the people that they care about…
- June 20 is Summer Solstice, the longest day of the year… enjoy the celebrations and the extra daylight…
- June 20 LITHA: “Litha is one of Wicca’s eight sabbats during the year and occurs on the summer solstice, the longest day of the year. It celebrates the beginning of summer and celebrates nature’s growing fertility.” Google Search
- June 21 @ 9:08pm (ET) @6:08pm (PT). Full Moon in Capricorn… please see our “moon in Capricorn” post of June 20 (6 pm)… all moon in Capricorn traits will be “bigger”… :)
Happy Birthday Cancer Folks, we wish each of you a wonderful born day, and a year ahead filled with good health and happiness.
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… when this occurs, we may feel “foggy/unfocused” … We may not be sure how we are really 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, all is not lost 😎as there are 4 signs in the zodiac which may prove positive during the Void-of-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. Thanks to Paula Bellumoni and Llewellyn’s daily planetary guide for opportunity periods and dates.

The Moon & Astrology; how it affects our daily life: Transiting Moon In Leo: Transiting Mercury into Pisces: February 2024
Present Moon Sign/Phase/House:
- 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… 😮
