  • NOTES:
  • November 5th is fireworks/bonfire night in the United Kingdom… remembering the day when a person by the name of Guy Fawkes tried to blow up the houses of Parliament, to express his upset with the government. Bonfires are built, and comfort foods and drink are enjoyed by the community/neighbourhood/family
  • FULL MOON occurs on November 5th @ 8:19am (ET) @5:19am (PT) in the sign of Taurus.
  • All Taurus traits will be amplified.
  • The Full Moon is traditionally said to be the best time to tie up loose ends, finish projects and “move” away from people, places and things that longer hold a positive energy in your life.
  • Taurus is connected to personal and financial security, comfort and hard work… She is ruled by the planet Venus, sensual and sensible…
  • Our focus is most likely to be on what makes us feel secure… comfort food and comfortable clothes could be on the agenda.
  • Mercury is the planet of communications, transportation and technology.
  • He rules Gemini and Virgo.
  • Mercury is connect to communication, transportation and technology.
  • Mercury moves into his “storm” on Tuesday, November 4th.. “The storm acts like the retrograde. Not favorable to start new projects-just follow through with the items that are already on your plate> Write down new ideas with the date and time they occur” Llewellyn’s 2025 guide

The affects of the transiting moon, planet movements and the Full/New Moon positions, while affecting all of us an a small level, those who share the planetary signs in play, will feel the affects more… as will those who share the opposite signs to those in play… IE: Moon in Aries, will affect those with Aries chart placements, along with those with Libra chart placements, more than folks who don’t have any such chart influences.

Aspects:

  • Squares can be challenging, two planets who don’t always get along, friction can develop, a feeling of being challenged by the other… some times we need that challenge to wake us up and get us motivated, great growth is possible, if we are up to the challenge
  • Opposition, challenging like the square, but not all is lost, the planets are at odds with each other, but that doesn’t mean they can’t come to a compromise, although it may take one over the other to back down before anything can move ahead… Take a deep breath, listen to the other view point, and find the middle ground. If that can’t be done, then maybe it’s just not meant to be, acknowledging that will also “set you free”
  • Quincunx are frustrating and may require some adjustments/adjusting, they have nothing in common… We may feel forced, pushed or obligated to perform..  may also relate to health issues. Not a great time, just keep reminding yourself it will all be over soon.
  • Trines are very comfortable aspects, the planets involved are usually of the same element, (Earth, Fire, Water, Air) so they understand each other…trouble happens when comfortable take precedence over doing anything else, this aspect can induce some laziness, great it it’s time for some chilling… if it’s not that time, you may find you have to give yourself a push to get going.
  • Sextiles are planets that are of the same compatible element, (Fire and Air or Earth and Water) they have differences but totally respect each other.. so they are able to work well together.
  • Conjunctions are variable, they can be helpful or not depending on the circumstances and the people involved…

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.

  • Date: January 10 @9:47 am (ET) 6:47 am (PT)
  • Moon Sign: Taurus: 
  • Moon Phase: 2nd
  • Void-of-Course: January 12 @ 2:39 pm (ET) @ 11:39 (PT) to moon into Gemini a few hours later:  Moon in Taurus v/c is one of the 4 “good signs”.
  • Opportunity Period: January 11 @11:54 am(ET) @ 8:54 am(PT) to moon into Gemini on the 12th. “This productive OP is good for ambitious projects, but with Mercury moving slowly, concentrate on practical matters” Paula Belluomini  

What does it all mean?

  • Taurus needs emotional and material security, so we may find we are more interested in our financial affairs. 
  • This may prove to be a good time to make investments for the future or to begin plans for the next financially responsible phase. 
  • Taurus has lots of patience, indicating this could be a good time to deal with people/projects/situations that take up more time than is liked. 
  • Things that give us pleasure, such as comfort foods, wine, relaxing, good music and giving/receiving “loving’s” are all things we may enjoy right now
  • Some of us may be feeling more frugal than usual, preferring to save our funds instead of spend them. 
  • Take your time when the moon is in this sign, there is no need to hurry, and you probably won’t get very far if you do… so sit back and enjoy the ride… :) 
  • Keep your temper under check if you can, Taurus is very, very patient and it takes a lot to make her angry, but watch out once she has had enough, she will certainly let you know.. 
  • This moon sign will have more of an effect on those who have the following in their charts. Those with strong Scorpio placements in their charts will also be affected. 
    • Moon in Taurus,
    • Sun in Taurus,
    • Venus in Taurus
    • Sun in Scorpio
    • Moon in Scorpio
    • Any aspects to the Moon, Venus.
    • Ascendant or Mid-heaven in Taurus
  • Notes:
  • Mercury enters “storm” Monday, January 10th.
  • Treat the “storm” period as you would the retrograde.
  • Best to continue with projects already in play, this is not the best time to begin anything new.. However, if you do have to, have patience and be prepared for some delays and set backs in play.
  • Transportation back logs, car break downs or repairs are to be expected.
  • Technology black outs, cell phone mishaps, computer slow downs and crashes are also to be expected.
  • Mercury also rules communications, take care with you words, double check your emails before hitting the send button, and be prepared to redo some writings along the way. If you are a writer by trade or hobby, you could face few “blocked” days.
  • Messages could get lot or be misinterpreted. It’s o.k. to ask someone to repeat themselves, and no question is a silly one. :)
  • Delays in the mail/post, should also be expected.

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… 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…

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.

Mercury Retrograde…

Sometimes Mercury gets a bad wrap when he goes retro… but it’s not all bad.. :) 

When Mercury goes retrograde it would appear from our Earth’s prospective that Mercury is moving backwards….. hmmm no wonder he can cause some confusion…  Yet, if we can “respect” Mercury while he is in this position by applying the “rules” that fit, we can come out of this period with a smile instead of a frown… :) 

The “rules” are as follows… 

  • Pay attention to, and do as many things as possible that have the letters RE in front of the word… for example… REnovate: REdecorate: REdo: REcreate: REnew: 
  • Try not to begin any new projects: 
  • Might not be a good time to start a new relationship
  • May be a good time to renew a relationship (depending on personal chart data)
  • Try not to sign important documents. Exception renewing a mortgage, but be very careful about the small print. 
  • If you need to sign important papers, make sure you understand everything, and if you don’t, ask questions. 
  • Mistakes in communications and messages are highly likely during this period, so read and REread before you sign or commit. 
  • Expect delays in communications or in getting your questions answered. 
  • Expect misunderstandings in communications
  • Have patience when communicating
  • Have patience when waiting for a reply or an answer
  • New plans made during this time may not work out as planned or may need to be RE-done at a later date
  • Mercury is in the sign of Libra during this retrograde motion… Life area’s involving relationships, partnerships and spending money may need to be adjusted. Be patient in your relationships, don’t jump to conclusions, but don’t compromise so much that you lose a part of yourself… leave sensitive topics until after October 22nd if possible. 

 NOTE:

  • When Mercury is said to be in “storm” he is moving very slowly, the effects of the Mercury Retrograde will apply to a slightly lesser degree.
  • Mercury entered its “storm” on September 20th {Write down new ideas with date and time they occurred, when Mercury is “back on track” go through them and discard the ones you know will not work, then see what you can do with the rest :)}
  • He goes Retrograde on September 26/27 @ 10:10 pm (PT) @ 1:10 am (ET):
  • Mercury turns direct on October 18 @11:17 am (ET) @ 8:17 am (PT)
  • Mercury is clear of its storm October 22: {look over any notes that you made earlier, and see what makes sense now}
