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. 

Thanks to Jim Shawvan present day astrologer, William Lilly 17th century astrologer and Llewellyn’s Daily Planetary Guide for opportunity periods.

What does it all mean?

• Aquarius is “different”,  he is ahead of his time and capable of thinking and “seeing” things is a different way then the rest of us. 
• Aquarius is ruled by Uranus,  the planet of  shock and chaos.
• We may feel may inclined towards kindness, especially on a “global” level or towards animals, the elderly and those worse off. 
• Getting along with our four-legged friends may be on the top of our list now. 
• The time may be right to understand/learn about new technology, such as a new phone, tablet or t.v. However keep in mind the “leader” of technology Mercury is Retrograde from Oct 4 to 25.
• This moon period can bring out the rebel in us, prompting us to try new things and or meet new people. 
• Be careful not to break tradition just because one feels like being different or as some may see it, “difficult” Teenagers may feel the need to express themselves, so parents be for warned. 
• Personal freedom and individuality is very important now. Partner’s try not to restrict each other’s movements. Parent’s it might be a tight line you walk now. Employer’s give your “worker’s” a little “slack”. 
• Being organized might not be as easy now, so expect weird schedule’s and interrupted meetings…
• Finances may be in focus, indicating this could be the perfect time to review contracts and policies… Keep in mind Mercury is retrograde on Oct 4 to the 25.. 
• Changes may be in the air… Keep in mind the Mercury Retrograde and try not to commit yourself until after the 25th. 
• Could be a good time for inventions… Perhaps keeping them to paper until after the 25 is advisable if the goal is for the invention to work. 
• Surgery or healing taking place now may have positive outcomes.
• This moon sign will have more of an effect on those who have the following in their charts.
• Moon in Aquarius
• Sun in Aquarius
• Uranus in Aquarius
• Moon in 8th house
• Mercury in Aquarius.
• Any aspects to the Moon or Mercury.
