The Moon and Astrology: How it affects our daily life… Transiting Moon in Libra April 2024

 Present Moon Sign/Phase/House:

  • Date: April 20 @11:08 pm (ET) @ 8:08 pm (PT)
  • Moon Sign: Libra  
  • Moon Phase: 2nd
  • Void-of-Course: April 22 @7:24pm (ET) @:24pm (PT) to moon into Scorpio a few hours later. Moon v/c in Libra is not one of the 4 void off course “good signs” Relationship issues may not go as planned, leave the planning until after the V.O.C moon… 
  • Opportunity Period: None

 What does it all mean?

  • Libra has a need for balance, indicating this moon period may be an ideal time to implement some into our daily lives. 
  • A desire for justice may be present, dealing with issues that have upset our sense of justice may prove to be productive. 
  • Diplomacy is likely to be more apparent during the next few days, and may be a good time to bring up that topic you have been putting on the back burner. 
  • Hesitation is probably going to raise its head, we may see many sides of a story and find it difficult to make up our minds. 
  • Difficulty in making commitments or long-term decisions, because we can’t make up our minds. If this is the case perhaps wait a few days until the moon has moved out of Libra. 
  • Libra is happiest when in a relationship or partnership. Indicating this may be a good time to begin one. 
  • Co-operation should be in the air, making this an ideal time to make plans with others. 
  • May be a good time to improve our appearance and surroundings. 
  • May be great time to go bargain hunting, 
  • The Moon in Libra can be good for the following activities:
  • Beauty Treatments:
  • Buying Clothes:
  • Buying for speculation:
  • Collecting on debts:
  • Entertaining Guests:
  • Joining a club: 
  • This moon sign will affect us all but will have more of an effect on those who have the following in their charts. Along with those who have strong Aries chart influences. 
      • **Moon in Libra,
      • **Sun in Libra,
      • **Venus in Libra
      • **Moon in 7th house,
      • **Any aspects to the Moon or Venus
      • **Midheaven in Libra
      • **Ascendant in Libra

  •  NOTES:  “Happy 4/20 Day” 

 

  • Saturday April 20th @ 10:27 pm(ET) @7:27 pm(PT) Jupiter in Taurus conjuncts Uranus in Taurus. 
  • Jupiter (planet of expansion) rules Sagittarius he is connected to the 9th house of higher knowledge, new experiences and travel.
  • Uranus (planet of change and chaos) rules Aquarius, he is connected to the 11th house of teamwork, charity, organizations and kindred spirits. 
  • A conjunction is a “neutral” aspect, it is neither positive or negative…
  • It takes approximately 14 years for the Jupiter/Uranus conjunction to occur. 
  • Jupiter and Uranus are outer planets, they are further away and slower moving than the moon, mercury, mars and Venus. The influence of the aspect is slow growing and long lasting and will have a generational impact… Because the conjunction happens in the “chart of the moment” in the 6th house, the impact on a generational/global level is most likely to occur in the area’s of HEALTH and WORK in the service industries... Will there be a welcomed DRASTIC and UNEXPECTED change in these area’s? With Jupiter in the mix, could it be a POSITIVE change for us all… :) 
  • On a personal level those with the following chart placements are likely to be “affected” the most: Taurus: Sagittarius: Aquarius. 
  • Watch for: Opportunities for growth, to learn, to explore, for travel and expansion in whatever area of life in your chart this connection happens for you (for me it will happen in my 11th house). Because Taurus is well connected to our financial and material security, growth or sudden changes can happen in these area’s, hopefully, mostly in a positive way, however, the transition may be frightening in the beginning. 
  • This is a slow moving transit... we may not see the opportunities in the very beginning… Jupiter is a very positive planet, full of laughter and ready to explore… However, that can sometimes mean that we go over board or push the boundaries to the very limit… and with Uranus in the mix, it could see some of us trying things we never thought we would try… the sky is the limit… Just take care not to go jumping in with both feet, always keep one foot firmly on the ground, Taurus, if you listen to her, will help that to happen. 

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…

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.
