The Moon and Astrology: How it affects our daily life… Moon in Libra… 10/21/2014 to 10/23/2014

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.

What does it all mean?

  • Libra has a need for balance, indicating this moon period may be an ideal time to implement some into our daily lives. 
  • A desire for justice may be present, dealing with issues that have upset our sense of justice may prove to be productive. 
  • Diplomacy is likely to be more apparent during the next few days, and may be a good time to bring up that topic you have been putting on the back burner. 
  • Hesitation is probably going to raise its head, we may see many sides of a story and find it difficult to make up our minds. 
  • Difficulty in making commitments or long-term decisions, because we can’t make up our minds. If this is the case perhaps wait a few days until the moon has moved out of Libra. 
  • Libra is happiest when in a relationship or partnership. Dealings with siblings, school friends, our neighbours and those we work with may be in focus now. 
  • Co-operation should be in the air, making this an ideal time to make plans with others. 
  • May be a good time to improve our appearance and surroundings. 
  • May be great time to go bargain hunting, 
  • This moon sign will affect us all but will have more of an effect on those who have the following in their charts.

    • Venus in Libra
    • Venus in Gemini

Date: October 23 2014: 

 

  • Scorpio is one of the most intense signs in the zodiac, and the moon relates to our feelings/moods/emotions.. indicating this new moon could prove to be one of intense emotions. 
  • An eclipse is an important event in astrology as it can strengthen the traits of either the moon or sun, this can be positive or negative. The natal effect of a lunar or solar eclipse can last anywhere from 6 to 12 months. 
  • This month’s Solar eclipse is a partial eclipse, meaning only a part of the sun will be eclipsed. It is likely that the effects of this eclipse will be lessened, but should still be considered. 
  • With the New Moon in Scorpio  …it can be easier to become or be intimate with another… We may feel more passionate, be drawn to mystery and suspense or find we are involved in research of some kind. We may also “see” or feel slights from others that aren’t really there, as we can emotionally sensitive now…  Remember with the partial eclipse in effect what ever is put into action now may have repercussions at a later date. 
  • This months full moon will have more of an influence on those who have the following in their charts… Moon in Scorpio, Moon in 5th house, Sun in Scorpio, Transits/Aspects to the moon. 
  • Even though it’s a new moon, she isn’t quite ready yet, and she is still sitting in the 4th quarter until the 24th. Mercury is also still retrograde until the 25th. Wait until the 25th before beginning any new projects or commitments.

Present Moon Sign/Phase/House:

  • Date: Thursday October 16 2014  to Saturday October 18 2014. 
  • Moon Sign: Leo at 6:29 am (ET) 3:29 am (PT) 
  • Moon Phase: 4th quarter, waning (decreasing in light)
  • Void-off-Course: Yes: 9:10 to 7:08 pm Saturday October 18/2014:  Leo Moon v/c is not one of the 4 “good signs”
  • House:9th: House of  higher education, publishing, travel, new experiences, legal matters, advertising. politics, religion and philosophy.  
  • Opportunity Period: Yes, from 3:35 am (ET) 12:34 am October 18 to 7:18 am October 18 2014: Early rises may be the only ones to make use of this OP. Follow up on things begun before September 26 2014. 

What does it all mean?

  • The Leo Moon Loves Drama, so be warned… 
  • The Leo Moon loves to noticed and recognized, so be prepared to “pump up” your loved ones and if you happen 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. 
  • The moon in the 9th house may have us more interested in study, perhaps we will do that research we have been meaning to do for the next vacation. We may find we are drawn into discussions about religion, politics and or philosophy. Keep in mind Mercury the planet of communication is still retrograde, indicating discussions may not always go as we would assume. New experiences may be presented to us now, however caution is suggested before making any commitments. 
  • This moon period will affect everyone, but more so those who have the following in their charts:
  • Moon in Leo:
  • Sun in Leo:  
  • Moon in the 9th house:
  •  Moon in 5th house:
  • Sun in Leo:
  • Aspects to the moon and/or the sun
