The Moon and Astrology: How it affects our daily life…Transiting Moon in Capricorn… Transiting Jupiter goes Retrograde October 2024

Present Moon Sign/Phase/House:

  • Date: October 9 @5:38 am(ET) @2:38 am(PT)
  • Moon Sign: Capricorn
  • Moon Phase: 1st moves into 2nd sometime on the 10th
  • Void-of-Course: October 11 @11:53am(ET) @8:53am(PT) to moon into Aquarius just after noon.  Capricorn Moon v/c is not one of the 4 “good signs” 
  • Opportunity Period: None

What does it all mean?

  • Capricorn is business, duty and discipline. She is ruled by Saturn, the planet of restrictions. 
  • Change may be more challenging to deal with, and we may be resistant towards it…  
  • 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 favourable time or a stressful one. 
  • Good time to watch, listen and learn
  • This moon sign will have more of an effect on those who have the following in their charts. And those who have a strong Cancer placing in their charts. 
  • Moon in Capricorn
  • Sun in Capricorn
  • Saturn in Capricorn
  • Moon in Cancer
  • Any aspects to the Moon or Saturn

NOTES:
  • Jupiter, the planet of expansion, currently in the sign of Gemini, goes into retrograde motion on October 9th @ 3:05am (ET) @12:05am (PT).
  • Gemini is chatty, sociable, can be community orientated and neighbourly… However, Gemini may also be superficial and attracted to the latest trends… Being in Jupiter while he is in retrograde motion, may slow us down a bit regarding our ability to communicate, probably a good thing, as during such times, it is a good idea to think carefully before we speak… Community events may not go as planned, but will still be fun and productive. Some of us may be feeling more restless then usual. 
  • When Jupiter visits a sign/house, he encourages growth in that life area, he is a jolly sort and likes to grow, learn and risk a thing a two along the way to allow growth to happen… Trips and learning something new can be exciting.. However, while Jupiter is in retrograde motion what happens now, may have to be repeated sometime in the future… Don’t be alarmed if you have to re-take a test/exam or are not able to finish all your vacation plans… Retrograde times are times of learning… Jupiter is a lucky planet, he holds open doors of opportunity, he will remain Mr. Jolly always, it will be up to us, during retrograde times to be aware that not everything will pan out the way we thought it might, and we may have to look a little bit harder for those open doors of opportunity. 
  • Friday October 11th: Yom Kippur Begins and Sundown
  • Friday October 11th: Pluto, in the sign of Capricorn goes Direct. 

Wishing a very Happy Born Day to our sister in law Marie this week…. May the coming year be filled with good health, happiness and joy… 

  • 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 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… 
  • 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.

  • Conjunctions can be either easy or not so easy, depending on the planets involved, some get along with each other’s may spark each other into action or dispute.

The Moon & Astrology; How it affects our daily life: Transiting Moon in Cancer August 2024: Mercury goes Direct: Venus enters Libra

Present Moon Sign/Phase/House

Manga style illustration of zodiac symbol, Cancer Stock Illustration - 16341889
http://www.123rf.com: Copyright : rudall30
  • Date: August 28 @4:47am (ET) @1:47am (PT)
  • Moon Sign: Cancer
  • Moon Phase: 4th
  • Void-of-Course: August 30 @ 11:24am (ET) @ 8:24am (PT) to moon into Leo a few hours later
  • Opportunity Period: August 28 @4:56 am (ET) @1:56am (PT) to Moon into Leo on the 30th: “Very good opportunity to implement changes and return to projects that were stuck during the Mercury’s retrograde period.” PB

What does it all mean?

  • The moon is happy in the sign of Cancer because the moon rules this sign.
  • Being sympathetic towards the worries of others is easier, we are more empathetic now. 
  • We can be more nurturing when there is a cancer moon
  • Domestic chores and responsibilities may be easier to do now, in fact some of us may be very happy making our home comfortable and safe
  • Cooking may be fun to do now,  so go ahead and try out that new recipe
  • The more emotionally sensitive of us, may take offense or feel slighted or more vulnerable during the Cancer moon… Caution is advised though, check your facts before you “accuse”. 
  • 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… 
  • It’s a time for cuddles, caring, and home cooked meals :) 
  • This may be a good time to do some tidy up and mini reno’s on the house.  
  • This may be a positive time for: Beauty treatments, Brewing beer, Buying antiques, Buying for speculation, Can foods, Collect on debts, Hair cut (for growth) and plant bulbs from seeds.
  • This moon sign will have more of an effect on those who have the following in their charts.
  • Moon in Cancer: (these folk really feel the influence of the moon, emotions may be close to the surface).
  • Ascendant in Cancer:
  • Sun in Cancer:
  • Moon in the 4th house:
  • Aspects to the Moon, or planets in the 4th house
  • To a lessor extent, those who have personal planets in Capricorn

NOTES: 

Wednesday August 28:

  • The Moon makes two aspects,  a Quincunx to Mercury in Aquarius and a sextile to the Sun in Virgo. Quincunx is an aspect between two planets who have absolutely nothing in common… feelings of frustration and obligations and perhaps being pushed towards something you don’t want to do… Co-operation is suggested, and if you have to “cave in” just grit your teeth and tell yourself over and over that this too shall pass… :).
  • The Sextile represents two planets who get along wonderfully, this may appease the challenges from the Quincunx.
  • Venus in Virgo shows an opposition to Neptune in Pisces. Oppositions are exactly what they say, two planets in opposition to each other, each seeing their way as the correct way… this can produce some upheaval, perhaps even a stalemate? However, even though they are opposite, they can compromise if the outcome is important to both. 

Wednesday August 28: Mercury turns direct at 5:14pm (ET) @ 2:14pm (PT).

  • Mercury is currently back in the sign of Leo. He began his retrograde journey in Virgo. Until September 3, Mercury will be moving in slow motion, which means that we still need to be vigilant about our emails and messages, as confusion or misunderstandings may still occur… as can glitches with technology and transportation upsets… However, the good news is the impact will be much less. 

Thursday August 29: Venus enters Libra @9:23am (ET) @6:23am (PT):

  • Venus is the ruler of Libra, so she is very comfortable here…  We can feel more friendly and up to socializing when Venus is about, it’s a feel good time that’s needed.. Which may mean we aren’t into doing too much work, so business meetings might be more about socializing than getting any thing done…
  • Venus rules money, so watch out for a bonus, or other financial rewards… 

Thursday August 29:

  • Venus in Libra Trines Mercury in Aquarius. Trines are planets of the same element, they understand each other and have an ease of communication not seen with other aspects… Lots could get done under this aspect, but will it is the question? Because the trine is so comfy and at ease, it’s very easy to not do anything, as the trine does have the reputation of being a “lazy” aspect… 
  • The Moon shows two aspects, a Trine to Saturn in Pisces and a Square to Chiron in Aries. Planets square to each other are irritated with each, they rub each other the wrong way… but sometimes this can be a good thing as it encourages “competition” and prompts us to do the best that we can… 

Friday August 30th:

  • The moon shows 2 aspects: A sextile to Uranus in Taurus, A Trine to Neptune in Pisces. 
  • The Moon enters the sign of Leo @ 1:09pm (ET) @10:09am (PT).

Being fire, they can have immense stores of energy, they can be drawn to sports, as a participant or viewer, the energy and competition in the sports area sit well with the Sagittarius energy.
