What does it Mean?:
Jim Shawvan, astrologer, over a 30 year period, has developed the Opportunity Period’s system. He shares his findings in Llewellyn’s Daily Planetary Guide.
“An Opportunity Period (OP) is a period in which the aspects of the transiting Moon to other transiting planets show no interference with the free flow of decision and action. (Jim Shawvan)
” Opportunity Periods apply to everyone in the world all at once; although, if the astrological influences on your own chart are putting blocks in your path, you may not be able to use every OP to the fullest. Nevertheless, you are always better off taking important actions and making crucial decisions during an Opportunity Period.” (Jim Shawvan)
When an OP appears make the best of the time if possible.
Some OP times are very short and happen in the late hours of the night or early hours of the morning.
This OP is good for: Aim to get important things done early. The 13th is a holiday Monday for North Americans, but if you end up working, it’s best to follow through on items/projects begun before September 26.
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?
Gemini is an air sign and needs lots of stimuli. She is ruled by Mercury (which is retrograde until October 25)
We may find we are trying to do multiple things at once, which may not go exactly as we may have planned.
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
Short cuts and short trips may be on the agenda
When we are out shopping we may find that getting just one isn’t enough..
Trends may excite or catch our attention now
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.
NOTE: Mercury is retrograde until October 25 so be careful of the commitments we take on, if possible wait until after 10/25/2014:
This moon sign will have more of an effect on those who have the following in their charts.

What does it all mean?
Taurus needs emotional and material security, so we may find we are more interested in our financial affairs.
This may prove to be a good time to make investments for the future or to begin plans for the next financially responsible phase.
Taurus has lots of patience, indicating this could be a good time to deal with people/projects/situations that take up more time than is liked.
Things that give us pleasure, such as comfort foods, wine, relaxing, good music and giving/receiving “loving’s” are all things we may enjoy right now
Some of us may be feeling more frugal than usual, preferring to save our funds instead of spend it.
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… :)
We may be more conscious of our work and may even contemplate moving career’s/job’s if we feel we aren’t being paid our worth
People may be looking at how we are behaving in public
Be sure of what you do in public as we can make or break our reputation now.
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..

Note: Full Moon in Aries with a Total Lunar Eclipse: Situations happening during this time may last for 12 months.
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.
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 more of an effect on those who have the following in their charts:
