What does it all mean?

  • Taurus needs emotional and material security, so we may find we are more interested in our financial affairs, and we may need to feel secure in our home and work environments. 
  • This may prove to be a good time to make investments for the future or to begin plans for the next financially responsible phase. 
  • Some of us may be feeling more frugal than usual, preferring to save our funds instead of spend them. 
  • Taurus has lots of patience, making this an opportune time time to deal with people/projects/situations that take up more time than we would like. 
  • Things that give us pleasure, such as comfort foods, wine, relaxing, good music and giving/receiving  are all things we may enjoy right now. It’s a FEEL GOOD moon sign. 😊
  • 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.. 
  • 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… 🙂 
  • 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 effected. 
    • 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:
  • May 19 New Moon, @11:53am(ET) @8:53am(PT). In the sign of Taurus. 
  • The New Moon is the perfect time to begin new projects.
  • Taurus is ruled by Venus, and one of Venus’s main concerns are relationships, Taurus’s main concerns are material and personal security. This may be a good time to begin new personal relationships. Connections with financial experts may be present, positive and workable relationships. 
  • Jupiter moved into the sign of Taurus on May 16th. This new moon may be focused on Taurus/Venus situations… there may be opportunity for growth in these area’s. 
  • The New Moon will affect everyone, but will have a stronger affect on those who have the following chart influences. 
  • Moon in Taurus
  • Jupiter in Taurus
  • Transit connections to the 2nd and or the 9th house. 
  • May 20: Mars Enters Leo:
  • Leo is ruled by the sun, Mars rules Aries. Leo is a fire/action sign, Mars is used to action as he is the God of War.
  • Leo isn’t afraid of taking risks, and Mars may encourage him…
  • Our energy levels may be higher, and we find that we use that to play hard, work hard and ourselves organized…
  • Make good use of this time, to get things sorted in your life, so that you can reduce stress levels, enabling you the time needed to relax and enjoy.

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.

 Present Moon Sign/Phase/House:

http://www.123rf.com: Copyright : Nataliia Vzhyshnevska
  • Date: June 8 @ 2:47 pm (ET) @ 11:47 am (PT)
  • Moon Sign: Gemini:
  • Moon Phase: 4th
  • Void-of-Course: June 10th @ 1:38 pm (ET) @ 10:38 am (PT) to moon into Cancer early morning on the 11th
  • Opportunity Period: None
  • NOTES: NEW MOON/SOLAR ECLIPSE: June 10th @ 6:53 am (ET) @ 3:53 am (PT). In the sign of Gemini. Set your intensions for the month ahead… take care to be specific.. the Eclipse may make the new moon energy more “magical” so be sure what it is that you “ask” for. 
  • The Solar Eclipse can sometimes indicate stressors that contribute to or “demand” change/adjustment, which may present some difficult challenges. A concentrated effort at compromise is recommended.
  • Changes may be afoot in the communications area, neighbours and siblings may be on the agenda.
  • This New Moon/Solar Eclipse will affect us all but will affect the following signs most: Gemini: Virgo: Sagittarius: Pisces. 
  • Check your chart to see what house/life area the Solar Eclipse/New Moon occurs, it will be in this area that you will be most affected. 

NOTES 2: Mercury is currently in retrograde motion in the sign of Gemini. 

What does it all mean?

  • Gemini is an air sign and needs lots of stimuli. She is ruled by Mercury.
  • The house connected to Gemini is the 3rd house of: day-to-day travel/affairs and siblings… we could find ourselves busy with multiple things going on, even if they are just in our own minds… 😉 Dealings with family, especially siblings, are likely. 
  • We may find we are trying to do multiple things at once, which may not go exactly as planned. If you do find you have tons of ideas spinning around in your head, take pen to paper and jot them down… it will ease the “inside chatter” and you may find some of them useful later on. 
  • Could be lots of chit chatting going on, and some of us may have to make a concerted effort to listen instead of chat.
  • Caution is advised when doing up letters, emails and relaying messages, as much as we may think we have it right, it’s better to check one more time 
  • It’s a good time to get those lists and notes made up… we can feel good about putting pen to paper now.
  • Boredom may be at our door step and we may feel more restless than usual. 
  • The next few days may be positive for: buying a vehicle, entertaining guests, hair cut (for less growth), join a club, send mail, and mow the lawn to retard growth. 
  • This moon sign will have more of an effect on those who have the following in their charts.
        • Sun in Gemini
        • Moon in Gemini
        • Mercury in Gemini
        • Ascendant in Gemini
        • Midheaven in Gemini
        • Any aspects to the Sun, Moon, Mercury or Jupiter
        • Those who have a strong Sagittarius influence in their chart

  2. Ash Wednesday occurs on the 17th, and is the traditional beginning of “LENT” A Christian tradition, where believers give up something for 40 days, (food, fun etc). It is a “sacrifice” of sorts to acknowledge the sacrifice of Jesus. The end of 40 days marks the beginning of the Christian holiday of Easter.

http://www.123rf.com: Copyright : macchia
  • Date: August 12 to 15 2015
  • Moon Sign: Leo 4:52 pm (ET) 1:52 pm (PT) 
  • Moon Phase: 4th
  • Void-off-Course: August 15 @ 12:36 am (ET) August 14 @ 9:36 pm (PT) to August 15 3:46 am (ET) 12:46 am (PT). Leo Moon v/c is not one of the 4 “good signs”. Not the best time to make decisions regarding children or pets.
  • House(s): 10th: 10th house of responsibility, career, social standing.
  • Opportunity Period: None

What does it all mean?

  • The Leo Moon Loves Drama, so be warned… 
  • The Leo Moon loves to be noticed and recognized, so be prepared to “pump up” your loved ones and if you happened to have a Leo influence in yourself, be aware of how you may be going about getting recognized or appreciated… If you play your cards right this could be a positive time when you get to be where you need to be.
  • Try not to be overly “vain” and be prepared for drama at any-time from any direction
  • Try not to over react and if it’s not you doing the over reacting, try not to get caught up in the drama, or to encourage the over reactor
  • It’s a good time to check out the local talent, take in a down town show, get starry-eyed with your lover, or perhaps look for a new one, as romance is high on the priority ladder during this time. 
  • Might prove positive for hair cuts, make overs. 
  • In the 10th house: For some of us focus will be on our jobs and career’s, and this may be a positive time for folk who are looking for work, so stay open to possibilities and watch for opportunities. Behave while in social/business situations. Those who have families may need to keep their work at work, when it comes to family time. 
  • This moon period will affect everyone, but more so those who have the following in their charts: And those who have a strong Capricorn or Aquarius placement in their charts. 
    • Moon in Leo:
    • Sun in Leo:  
    • Moon in Aquarius
    • Sun in Aquarius
    • Moon in the 10th house

New Moon in Leo:

The moon will renew herself on August 14 2015…

  • Traditionally when the moon is new, it is said to be a good time to begin something… The moon moves into the 1st phase on August 15th, and it is suggested that we hold off on our new projects, ideas, relationships until the 15th.
  • Leo is a creative fire sign, indicating this may be a good opportunity for creative folk to show off their wares…
  • Ideas for decorating, fashion design and in any artistic endeavor can come quickly under this influence.. so get out your pencil and paper and jot them down.
  • Work related projects may get a “face-lift” or a green light to proceed.
  • For the true animal lover, this could be a good time to finally adopt that furry family member, but check and double check everything before making up your mind if the moon is void off course, which it is until August 15 @ 5:27 am (ET) 2:27 am (PT), when it moves into the sign of Virgo. 
  • And for those wanting to start a family go for it.. however, for those who aren’t quite ready, be advised… 🙂 
  • Enjoy creative time spent with good friends
  • New friends could come into your life now

New Moon September 23/24 2014

Our lady begins her renewal process on

September 24 (ET) September 23 (PT) 2014 

Moon cartoon sleeping Stock Photo - 13726443

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.
