- Some of us may feel needy, while others of us are happy to be the needed, helping our loved ones feel secure. Caution is advised that some of us can go over board on the needy thing during this moon period, so be careful if you don’t want to “scare” someone off…

NOTES:
Mercury in retrograde motion: Take care with all communications… double check appointment dates… expect delays in travel, due to technology issues, weather issues and communication issues…try you very best to be patient with everyone and everything😬 … Mercury retrograde is a challenging time, that’s for sure… but it can also be a time where we can make some positive changes in our lives, and in our mindset….
if something negative keeps showing up in your life, perhaps it needs to no longer be a part of your life? 🤷♀️.. at least for the time being… look at the situation with eyes wide open… be honest with your part, and make your decision… stay stuck or wiggle free and move on?…
Mercury, is related to movement, technology, communications… and so much more… he is one of the closer planets to our planet earth, so his influence can be fairly strong…. challenge yourself this Mercury retrograde… What can you learn, how can you bring in more calm to your life…???
“Lord help me control the things that I can
help me let go of the things that I cannot control
And help me to know the difference”….. 🙏

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 astrologer and Llewellyn’s Daily Planetary Guide for opportunity periods and dates.
