The Moon and Astrology: How it affects our daily life…Transitting Moon in Aries…February 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. 

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

  • Moon Sign: Aries at 6:13 pm (ET) 3:13 pm (PT)
  • Moon Phase: 1st
  • Void-off-Course: February 21 @ 7:36 pm (ET) 4:36 pm (PT) to February 22 12:13 am (ET) February 21 9:13 pm (PT): Moon v/c in Aries is not one of the 4 “good signs” Make sure you get all the facts before making any commitments..
  • House(s): 6th & 7th: 6th House of service, health, duty. 7th house of relationships.
  • Opportunity Period: None

What does it all mean?

  • Aries is action, he is the most masculine of the Zodiac signs as he is ruled by the planet Mars
  • We should have slightly more get up and go when the moon is in Aries
  • We are happy to defend our loved ones
  • We are apt to speak up more, even those of us who consider themselves to be “timid” can find the voice they need right now. 
  • May be a good time to get your message across or to ask for what you need
  • Be careful when driving especially when upset or angry
  • We may be more susceptible to head injuries or head aches
  • We could be eager to start projects now, however, we have just experienced a full moon, (time to finish up) so if you really want to start something now, choose something small… :) 
  • Be careful about while engaging in physical activities, we may feel stronger or more “heroic” at the moment but our bodies might not be in the same “zone” :) 
  • We may be more decisive than usual, as always use caution … 
  • Be careful about saying yes to everything right now, we might feel like we can handle more, but when the time comes we could be sorry we took on so much at once. 
  • Being healthy and feeling good so we can help others, or at the very least get our chores done may be on the agenda for the next few days. 
  • In the 6th house: Being of service to others may come easier than usual, some of us may actually enjoy it. work can be more fulfilling but take care not to take on too much at once. We may find time spent with our pets more relaxing. If you are feeling stressed, go out for a nice relaxing walk, it will ease your mind and it’s good for the body too.
  • In the 7th house: The desire for harmony in our relationship is strong, so take care who you chose as your alliances, both in your personal and business world. Being in comfortable surroundings with soft lights and colors is an easy way to de-stress and chill out.
  • Adults with a strong mars or aries influence may be acting more like children than adults. 
  • Some of us could be more insensitive or appear more selfish to others.
  • If you aren’t looking to enlarge your family right now, take care, Aries has a lot of sexual energy to utilize… ;)
  • The Moon in Aries will have a slight effect on all of us, but it will have more of an effect on those who have the following in their charts:
    • Moon in Aries:
    • Sun in Aries:
    • Ascendant or Midheaven in Aries:
    • Mars in Aries:
    • Moon in the 6th or 7th house:
    • Moon in Virgo
    • Sun in Virgo
    • Aspects to the Moon or Mars:

What does it mean?

  • Mars is the male planet, he is action and can be aggressive, he can be rash and selfish, but also work in heroic ways to help us move forward, speak up for ourselves and others and pushes us to experience new frontiers. He is the ruler of Aries and corresponds to the head, the blood and the muscles. 
  • Aries is the first zodiac sign, and he can be like a child in his rush to explore.. he can be a warrior ready to fight for those who cannot… or he can be selfish and out for himself…he can be a hero or he can hurt by being insensitive to the needs of others. Aries is ruled by Mars
  • Transiting Mars is comfortable in Aries, as this is the sign he rules. It can also mean he can be more assertive than he should.
  • Our energy level can be better when Mars is visiting here, so get those jobs done.
  • We could feel excited about new projects or new horizons, but hold your horses before committing yourself, it might feel great now, but may not be what we want next week.
  • Be careful the projects you start now, if you don’t want them finished in a hurry then go ahead, finishing up isn’t as fun as starting for Aries/Mars.
  • Watch out for open cupboards, and accidents to the head.
  • Don’t drive to fast, and watch for the tendency to get into accident prone situations.
  • Some of us may experience more headaches than usual
  • In the 6th house: Our health and physical well-being could be in focus now, and we should have the energy we need to do the research and even start a new physical exercise routine, so go ahead and play.
  • This astrological “event” will affect everyone, but will have more of an effect on the following.
    • Sun in Mars:
    • Aspects to Neptune and Mars:
    • Mars in the 6th house.
    • Mars in Aries
    • Aspects to natal Mars/natal 6th house.

  • Date: February 18 2015 to February 20 2015
  • Moon Sign: Pisces at approx 6:47 pm (ET) 3:47 (PT)
  • Moon Phase: 4th
  • Void-off-Course: February 19 6:02 pm (ET) 3:02 pm (PT) to February 20 6:13 pm (ET) 3:13 pm (PT) Pisces is a fortunate sign for the Void off Course moon. 
  • House(s): 5th & 6th. 5th house of entertainment, creativity, children and pets. 6th house of health, service and detail.
  • Opportunity Period: February 18 6:15 pm (ET) 3:15 pm (PT) to 7:15 pm (ET) 4:15 pm (PT): Good For: Starting something new connected to a project/subject begun before January 17.

**Note**The New Moon is on February 18, while she is still in the sign of Aquarius , she moves into the sign of Pisces by the end of the day. The influence of Pisces will also color the New Moon. The New Moon is a good time to begin something, and while the moon is said to be new on February 18, she is still in the 4th quarter, she moves into the 1st quarter on February 19, making this date a better one to put new plans into action.

What does it all mean?

  • Pisces is compassionate and caring but can be taken for granted
  • Sometimes Pisces isn’t about helping others but helping oneself. 
  • We can be more psychic during a Pisces moon, but we can also be easily deceived, so be sure of the “messages” received during this time.
  • Be careful if something sounds too good to be true, look for the hidden agenda
  • We can be susceptible to taking in stray animals and stray people now. 
  • Our hearts can be broken or melted during this time depending on who is telling us what and what may be revealed now. 
  • We can feel more spiritual with a Pisces moon, indicating this could be a good time to join a church or spiritual group
  • Keep an open mind when delving into new spiritual situations, ask questions and don’t believe everything you hear or see. 
  • We can be wistful, impressionable, nostalgic and dreamy now.
  • In the 5th house: Creative juices are flowing, get the paint brushes out and create your master piece. A good time to get out and enjoy some music or dancing. We can get “connected” to our pets now. Depending on how you feel about little people (children) this could be a fun few days or a tiring few days. 
  • In the 6th house: Our well-being may be on our mind and our health may be in focus. We could be tempted to do more for less or find we are in a position to be of service to someone. Some of us can see all the small details now, don’t get overwhelmed, just do what’s needed.
  • The moon in Pisces will have more effect on those who have the following in their charts:
  • Moon in Pisces:
  • Sun in Pisces:
  • Moon in the 5th & 6th house
  • Aspects to the moon or Neptune
  • Neptune in Pisces
