The Moon and Astrology: How it affects our daily life… Moon in Virgo… 10/18/2014 to 10/21/2014

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.

  • Date: Monday October 18 2014  to October 21 2014 7:12 am (ET): 4:12 am (PT). 
  • Moon Sign: Virgo at 7:08 pm (ET) 4:08 pm (PT)
  • Moon Phase: 4th quarter, waning (decreasing in light). 
  • Void-off-Course: Yes: October 20 2014 @ 11:30 pm (ET): 8:30 pm (PT). Until 7:12 am (ET): 4:12 am (PT): Virgo Moon v/c is not one of the 4 “good signs” Try not to make any important decisions or commitments now. Rest if you are feeling tired or feel a cold coming on. 
  • House: 9th: House of  higher learning, long distance travel, new experiences, legal matters, publishing, politics, religion and philosophy
  • Opportunity Period: None

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 other’s 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. 
  • Mercury, the planet of communications and mental abilities is also in Virgo. Virgo is very happy in Mercury as he is her ruler. With both the moon and mercury in Virgo, it might be a good time to attend to legal or business dealings.. . (Mercury is retrograde until October 25 2014). 
  • May be a good time for those in the publishing or advertising world, however expect delays and misunderstandings as Mercury remains retrograde.
  • We may have a greater interest in politics or philosophical subjects. 
  • Study of or research into subjects involving travel may entice us now. 
  • This moon sign will have more of an effect on those who have the following in their charts.
  • Moon in Virgo
  • Sun in Sagittarius
  • Moon in 9th house
  • Moon in 6th house
  • Mercury in Sagittarius.
  • Any aspects to the Moon or Mercury.

Full Moon October 8 2014: Lunar Eclipse October 8 2014

The  full moon happen’s on 8 October 2014.

As our Lady becomes full this month at 6:51 am (ET)/3:51 am (PT) at the tail end of Aries, she will also become void off course @ 10:20 am (ET)/7:20 am(PT) until she enters into Taurus on October 9 at 7:44 am (ET)/4:44 am(PT).

The Full Moon is the perfect time to finish up on projects and get those loose ends sorted out… Traditionally the Full Moon is not  the best time to begin new projects… so don’t start a new exercise regime this weekend, chances are you won’t stick with it, wait for the New Moon to pop up again… :)

The full moon will still carry with her the influence of an Aries moon, but it will be peppered with the influence of the Taurus moon.

The moon in Aries is bold, up for an adventure and not too happy to sit back and let things happen without putting in a word or two no matter who it might upset at the time. Boredom may take a hold regarding projects begun under the new moon and finishing them up now might not look like the most adventurous thing to be doing, but with some effort, encourage and support from others, it’s still possible to get them done. Watch out for starting arguments just to prove your point, or because you are feeling feistier then usual.

The moon in Taurus is sensual and secure at least that’s what she needs now. Its time to spend appreciating nature, listening to good music and eating good food. If change is required now, it’s not likely to go down too well, especially if its change brought about through something or someone beyond your control. Taking care of money issues may be in focus, or you could be unduly worried about a financial or residential situation. If changes do need to take place now against your will, it’s best to “grin and bear it” for the time being, resisting could cause added and unnecessary stress.

This Full Moon is likely to have a stronger effect on those with one or more of the following…

Aries Moon: Taurus Moon: Aries Sun: Taurus Sun: Moon in the 1st house: Moon in 2nd house: Moon in 11th house:  

Aspects made to the moon will also have a stronger effect on some people. Negative aspects may produce challenging times, whereas positive aspects may produce windows of opportunity.

When the moon is void off course we can be unsure as to how we are really feeling about something or something, 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…

Lunar Eclipse: October 8 2014:

Situations, relationship/partnership and issues begun on a Lunar Eclipse may proceed for a longer time or have a stronger influence. It is important then, that decisions made and relationship/partnerships entered into under a full moon lunar eclipse influence should be carefully considered before any commitment is made.

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.

Although this month’s new moon falls in the sign of Virgo, there may still be some Leo overtones about… :)

New moon in Virgo: Virgo is all about detail, which can sometimes incite worry where it’s not needed. If you are beginning a new project, or planning for the future, don’t be too hard on yourself it everything doesn’t seem to be perfect… You will see the flaws that need fixing, but don’t go crazy, sometimes mistakes are necessary :)

If you have been wanting to get in shape, or step up your work out routine now is a good time to start, it’s also a good time to begin a diet as our minds wonder to our health and hygiene… Cleaning out that closet or the car may also prove to be fabulous therapy…

New Moon in Leo: Leo loves drama, after all he is ruled by the Sun, without which we could not exist, it’s no wonder those with a Leo influence can sometimes get carried away. :) It’s a good time to start creative projects, and may even prove helpful if auditioning for parts in a play, movie or band. But watch out for the innocence of the new moon combined with the “showiness” and innate pride of the Lion… Remember your p’s and q’s, and that we can’t all be noticed for our talents all of the time… :) have fun, be creative, spend time around animals and children and who knows what one can achieve under this new moon… :) 

Moon in the 11th house: House of teams, groups, friends and causes. May be a good time to sign up with a team/group activity (gym). Watch out you don’t get carried away regarding charity events and causes. If starting a new job or volunteer position be open to new friendships. 

Moon in the 4th House: You may find spending some time alone in retrospect helpful if contemplating  next phase of your life, but don’t stay there too long… :) Focus may be on the home and private life now. 

This months new moon will have more influence on those with the following: Moon in Leo: Moon in Virgo: Sun in Leo: Sun in Virgo: Moon in the 11th house: Ascendant in Virgo: Midheaven in Virgo:

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.

Void off Course Moon

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… 

Solar Eclipse

A solar eclipse can have an influence on us making things, plans, issues and or situations that happen during an eclipse last longer than usual. Sometime’s it’s unavoidable and plans have to be made, ideas need to be put into motion and there are some people we just can’t get away from or do without…. In these cases patience is strongly advised. Our last Solar Eclipse was on April 29 2014.

Present Moon Sign/Phase/House: 

  • Date: Wednesday August 20 2014  to Thursday August 21 2014.
  • Moon Sign:  Cancer: zodiac sign cancer (The Crab) Stock Photo - 8399361
  • Moon Phase: 4th quarter, waning (decreasing in light)
  • Void-off-Course: Yes: August 21 2014 @ approx 4:34 pm (EDT): 3:34 pm (ET): 12:34 pm (PT). Cancer is one of the four signs in which the v/c is a good thing. 
  • House: 11th: House of  Teams, Groups, Friends and Causes
  • Opportunity Period: Yes: August 21 2014 @ approx 1:55 pm (EDT) 12:55 pm (ET) 9:55 am (PT). Until 5:49 pm (EDT) 4:49 pm (ET) 1:49 pm (PT)

What does it all mean:

  •  Cancer is ruled by the moon so for those of us who have Cancer as a “personal” planet or angle we may be inclined to be slightly more emotional. 
  • Domestic duties may call to us, it’s best to enjoy this time around the home. It’s great for organizing, sitting back and checking out the progress so far, and figuring out the next plan for our home. 
  • Group and team activities may involve or revolve around family, or there may be a sense of family unification regarding such events. 
  • Water signs, Cancer, Pisces and Scorpio may be more sensitive, and may “imagine slights” that aren’t there or weren’t meant. 
  • Some of us may feel more nurturing… babies, puppies and kittens may seem irresistible… 
  • The last quarter moon is the perfect time wrap things up and get ready for the next new moon stage… we can find ourselves busy during this time tending to all the loose ends. 
  • While the v/c moon in this opportune period is good because of the moon going void-off-course in the sign of Cancer, we are in the last quarter moon, which traditionally is good for “endings” or “finishing up” clearing the plate for the next new project… it is suggested then, that caution still be used when signing important papers or initiating new business dealings or general projects.
