  • 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.

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.

Mercury Retrograde: Enters Storm on September 20: Retrograde September 26/27 to October 18 2021: Remains in “storm” until October 22

Shining blue neon zodiac Mercury vector symbol

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}

The Moon and Astrology: How it affects our daily life…Transiting Moon in Aries…June 2021

Present Moon Sign/Phase/House:

Zodiac sign - Aries Stock Photo - 44449990
http://www.123rf.com: Copyright : Vadim Sadovski
  • Date: June 3 @ 1:59 pm (ET) @ 10:59 am (PT)
  • Moon Sign: Aries 
  • Moon Phase: 4th
  • Void-off-Course: June 5 @ 6:47 pm (ET) @ 3:47 pm (PT) to moon into Taurus late on the 5th (PT) Early morning on the 6th (ET): Moon v/c in Aries is not one of the 4 “good signs” Make sure you get all the facts before making any commitments..
  • Opportunity Period: None

What does it all mean?

  • Aries is action, he is the most masculine of the Zodiac signs as he is ruled by the planet Mars
  • We should have slightly more get up and go when the moon is in Aries
  • We are happy to defend our loved ones
  • We are apt to speak up more, even those of us who consider themselves to be “timid” can find the voice they need right now. 
  • May be a good time to get your message across or to ask for what you need
  • Be careful when driving especially when upset or angry
  • We may be more susceptible to head injuries or head aches
  • We could be eager to start projects now, and with the New Moon happening early this morning, it’s a great time to start something that has an artistic influence, or is connected to spiritual subjects. 
  • Be careful about while engaging in physical activities, we may feel stronger or more “heroic” at the moment but our bodies might not be in the same “zone” 🙂 
  • We may be more decisive than usual, as always use caution … 
  • Adults with a strong Mars or Aries influence may be acting more like children than adults. 
  • Some of us could be more insensitive or appear more selfish to others.
  • If you aren’t looking to enlarge your family right now, take care, Aries has a lot of sexual energy to utilize… 😉
  • The Moon in Aries will have a slight effect on all of us, but it will have more of an effect on those who have the following in their charts: Along with those who have a strong Libra placement in their charts
    • Moon in Aries:
    • Sun in Aries:
    • Mars in Aries:
    • Moon in Libra 
    • Sun in Libra 
    • Aspects to the Moon or Mars:
    • Ascendant or Mid-heaven in Aries
  • Note: Mercury, the planet of communication, technology and transportation is currently retrograde in the sign of Gemini.
  • Gemini is one of the dual signs… capable of multi-tasking, inquisitive and communicative.
  • Mercury rules Gemini, making this placement fairly strong.
  • Mercury retrograde isn’t a favorable time to attend to new projects, or to sign contracts, legal documents etc… If the situation is an ongoing one, there is less likely to be challenges when it comes to legal/important or long term dealings. Read everything, ask questions, don’t rush in…
  • Complications with transportation (cars, buses, trains, planes etc) and technology is more likely during a retrograde motion. 
  • This is a good time to re-do just about anything, (including contracts, just be aware of everything involved)… If you are a writer, this could be an opportune time for you to edit your work. Any word that has “re” in front of it are good things to stick to during retrograde motion. 
  • Mercury remains in retrograde motion until June 22, and will remain in “storm” until July 1st. 
  • Retrogrades can have a mostly subtle affect on us all. During this retrograde motion, those with strong Mercury, (Gemini, Virgo) chart influences may feel the affects most.

The Moon and Astrology: How it affects our daily life… Transiting Moon in Virgo January 2021

http://www.123rf.com: Copyright : helein

Present Moon Sign/Phase/House:

  • Moon Sign: Virgo
  • Moon Quarter: 3rd
  • Void-of-Course: February 1st @ 6:10 am (ET) @ 3:10 am (PT) to Moon in Libra 25 minutes later:  Virgo Moon v/c is not one of the 4 “good signs”
  • Opportunity Period: January 31 @ 10:18 pm (ET) @ 7:18 pm (PT) to void of course on February 1st. Good for night owls to get some stuff done. 

What does it all mean?

  • Virgo is all about the details, so be prepared to see to them or at least have someone else see to them for you, you will feel better 🙂 
  • Try not to worry about things you have no control over, especially things that might not ever happen… Because Virgo “see’s” all the details others miss, it’s hard for her not to worry… 
  • It’s good to keep busy during a Virgo moon, make lists, tidy, organize, plan, find solutions to problems… a lot can get done now
  • Virgo can be more critical than the rest of the zodiac, but only because she so need things to be “correct” or “perfect”. Try to give yourself and others a break over the next couple of days. If you are an employer, be prepared that tasks may not get completed exactly they way you had expected.
  • These next few days may be good for: Breaking bad habits: Fixing cars: 
  • This moon sign will have more of an effect on those who have the following in their charts.
  • Moon in Virgo

  • Sun or Moon in Pisces

  • We may “desire” to “shake up” our relationships, but doing things we wouldn’t normally do… all for the good cause of course… 😉
  • Finances may be up in the “air” or we make unusual purchases… Take care if you are “living on a shoe string” it’s not the time to buy if we can’t afford it…

NOTES 3: The Aquarius energy will be front and center because…..  

  • There are five planets, The Sun, Mercury, Venus, Jupiter and Saturn currently, all in the sign of Aquarius…

  • Nothing will be exempt from changes and new ways of doing things in the following area’s…
  • The Core of the person, situation, company or political platform…
