The Moon and Astrology: How it affects our daily life…Transiting Moon in Sagittarius August 2015:

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-off-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 off 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 off Course…. However there are 4 signs in the zodiac which may prove positive during the Void-off-Course moon… 

Good for Void-Off-Course Moon:

These v/c signs may prove to be quite productive times.

  • Cancer
  • Taurus
  • Sagittarius
  • Pisces…

Opportunity Periods  (thanks to astrologer Jim Shawvan):

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.

  • 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… Just take care not to go over the budget… :) 
  • 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.
  • In the 2nd house, focus is likely our finances, some of us may even get luck in this area… for others, they may be more generous than they should be… Because this house also relates to our material security, we may also be looking at buying a house or moving to a foreign land.
  • 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 or Cancer placement in their charts. 
    • Moon in Sagittarius

What does it all mean?

  • Capricorn is business, duty and discipline. She is ruled by Saturn, the planet of restrictions. 
  • We may be more in tune with our work/career or vocational direction. However hold off on making changes right now due to the Mercury Retrograde.
  • Change may be more challenging to deal with, and we may be resistant towards it… 
  • Being disciplined towards our “duties/chores” may be easier to achieve. 
  • Dealings with the elderly may be in focus. 
  • Dealings with “authority” types, such as teachers, principles, supervisor’s may be in focus. Being respectful of such positions may help to alleviate tension. 
  • This could be a good time to get mundane business tasks out-of-the-way
  • If you have been waiting to get a “chaotic” situation under control, now may be a good time to do it. 
  • Rules and regulations may be in focus, and depending on how you deal with these, it could be a favorable time or a stressful one. 
  • Good time to watch, listen and learn
  • Future goals will be at the top of the list, so be prepared for extra hours spent at work. 
  • Domestic issues may have to take a “back seat” for a few days.
  • Finances may be in focus, indicating this could be the perfect time to review contracts and policies… 
  • We may find we are looking at our “worth” now, including the salary we get paid. 
  • We are happy to work for our “keep”, knowing we are doing a good job. 
  • Those with a Uranus or Aquarius influence may begin to feel better about making choices or choosing a direction. They may also feel more confident in themselves and eager to embrace change. 
  • This moon sign will have more of an effect on those who have the following in their charts.
  • Moon in Capricorn
  • Sun in Capricorn
  • Saturn in Capricorn
  • Moon in 10th house
  • Moon in the 2nd house
  • Any aspects to the Moon or Saturn.

The New Moon in Capricorn

  • The Capricorn moon will want to get down to business, indicating this could be a good time to initiate new business ideas or plans… Watch out for feelings of “guilt” if you skip your duties, and try not to expect the best of everyone, we aren’t all duty bound or career orientated… :) Try to be accepting of the ideas or opinions of others for the next few days, holding grudges isn’t healthy… :) 
  • It’s a good idea to be aware of our emotional responses during a Capricorn new moon, as some of us may have a tendency to appear off-handed or emotionally distant toward loved ones… if left unchecked this could have a negative impact on close relationships. 
  • The new moon is traditionally a good time to begin new projects, put new ideas into practice or to put plans to paper. Not everyone will be ready or able to start things during a new moon, but if you can why not give it a try and see what happens.. :)

New Moon September 23/24 2014

Our lady begins her renewal process on

September 24 (ET) September 23 (PT) 2014

The New Moon is about beginnings and starts … it’s the time to look forward and put new ideas and projects into motion. For September’s new moon, half an hour before she becomes new and half an hour after she has become new is an excellent time to start something important: 

This Month’s New Moon begins in the 4th quarter and moves to the 1st quarter on 09/25/2014: 

New moon in the 4th quarter. A good time to “draw back” to reflect on past events and what has been (or has not been) accomplished. Time to clear the slate and plan for the New Moon stage. 

New Moon in the 1st quarter: Our lady becomes visible 5.5 to 12 hours after ‘her birth” (the time she becomes new) she is delicate but strong, eager to start anew almost with the innocence of a babe she wants to begin again and explore all that she can. This is the absolute best time to begin your new projects, especially any projects or ideas that relate to the home and family. Family is anyone you wish to include which for some may be college’s friends, neighbours and co-workers. 

When the moon is void off course we can be unsure as to how we are really feeling about something or someone, it’s therefore advisable to stick to routine tasks at this time. If any legal documents or long-term commitments are in the picture take care to make sure you understand everything that is involved before signing… Delaying important decisions and commitments is highly recommended when the moon is void off course… 

New moon in Libra in the 2nd house: What does it mean?: 

  • Libra is all about partnerships and relationships
  • Our emotions will probably be tied up with the thoughts of lovers, partners, family, friends and all of our dealings with others
  • This may be a good time to begin a relationship/partnership
  • May prove fruitful if looking for a relationship
  • A good time to shop for the home, visit pretty places and decorate
  • People should be more friendly, polite and sociable
  • We may find ourselves pursuing balance in our life 
  • Subjects dealing with justice or fairness may be on the agenda
  • We may have to help sooth or “put to right” upset emotionally situations

The Moon in the 2nd house:

  • This is the house of Finances and Material Security.
  • It’s about feeling “safe”. We need to feel grounded at some point and when the moon is in the 2nd house we have a better chance of being so. 
  • We may dwell too much on our financial situation or worry about it
  • Watch the budget as we could also be prompted to spend more on “pretty things” 
  • This may be a good time to check out our policies and look into investment opportunities, such as buying a home or opening up a bank account. 
  • We may enjoy spending money on new clothes, manicure, hair cuts. 

While influencing us all, this months new moon will have more influence on those with the following:

  • Moon in Libra:
  • Sun in Libra:
  • Moon in the 2nd house:  
  • Chart ruler Venus:
  • Chart ruler Taurus:
  • Ascendant in Libra.
  • Midheaven in Libra
  • Aspects from the Moon to Venus 
  • Transits to the moon and to Venus

Aspects/Transits: For those who have oppositions or square aspects to the moon, these may prove to be challenging times, if this is the case you are advised not to force issues at this time.  For those who have trines or sextiles, these may prove to be opportune times.
