How to slow down in this fast paced world? SGC shares some guidance from Dawn James, Soulful Life Coach & Author

How to embrace slow living in a fast-paced world

The world is not going to slow down for you.

The notifications will keep arriving, the deadlines will keep pressing, and the cultural narrative that busyness equals worth will continue to assert itself at every turn.

Embracing slow living in a fast-paced world is therefore not about waiting for the pace of modern life to accommodate you; it is about cultivating, within yourself and in the corners of your life, an island of genuine presence, depth, and . . .

  • Date: February 26 @ 12:11am (ET) February 25 @ 9:11pm (PT)
  • Moon Sign: Cancer
  • Moon Phase: 2nd
  • Void-of-Course: February 27 @11:21 pm (ET) @ 8:21pm (PT) to moon into Leo early morning on February 28. 
  • Opportunity Period: February 26 @2:04 pm (ET) @11:04 am (PT) until Moon into Leo: “Long OP favorable for the arts and technology, but Mercury is retrograde and we are between two eclipses, so be creative when dealing with adjustments. ” PB
  • Mercury Retrograde: Wednesday, February 25 @10:48 pm (PT): Thursday, February 26 @1:48 am (ET) in the sign of Pisces: 

What does it all mean?

  • The moon is happy in the sign of Cancer because the moon is the ruler of the sign Cancer.
  • Being sympathetic towards the worries of others is easier, we are more empathetic now. 
  • We can be more nurturing when there is a cancer moon
  • Domestic chores and responsibilities may be easier to do now, in fact some of us may be very happy making our home comfortable and safe
  • Cooking may be fun to do now,  so go ahead and try out that new recipe
  • The more emotionally sensitive of us, may take offense or feel slighted or more vulnerable during the Cancer moon… Caution is advised though, check your facts before you “accuse”. 
  • Some of us may feel needy, while others of us are happy to be the needed, helping our loved ones feel secure. Caution is advised that some of us can go over board on the needy thing during this moon period, so be careful if you don’t want to “scare” someone off… 
  • It’s a time for cuddles, caring and good food,  Enjoy..😊
  • This may also be a good time to do some tidy up and mini reno’s on the house.  
  • This may be a positive time for: Beauty treatments, Brewing beer, Buying antiques, Buying for speculation, Can foods, Collect on debts, Hair cut (for growth) and plant bulbs from seeds.
  • This moon sign will have more of an effect on those who have the following in their charts.
  • Moon in Cancer: (these folk really feel the influence of the moon, emotions may be close to the surface).
  • Ascendant in Cancer:
  • Sun in Cancer:
  • Moon in the 4th house:
  • Aspects to the Moon, or planets in the 4th house
  • To a lessor extent, those who have personal planets in Capricorn

NOTES: 

Mercury in retrograde motion: Take care with all communications… double check appointment dates… expect delays in travel, due to technology issues, weather issues and communication issues…try you very best to be patient with everyone and everything😬 … Mercury retrograde is a challenging time, that’s for sure… but it can also be a time where we can make some positive changes in our lives, and in our mindset….

if something negative keeps showing up in your life, perhaps it needs to no longer be a part of your life? 🤷‍♀️.. at least for the time being… look at the situation with eyes wide open… be honest with your part, and make your decision… stay stuck or wiggle free and move on?…

Mercury, is related to movement, technology, communications… and so much more… he is one of the closer planets to our planet earth, so his influence can be fairly strong…. challenge yourself this Mercury retrograde… What can you learn, how can you bring in more calm to your life…???

 

“Lord help me control the things that I can

 help me let go of the things that I cannot control

And help me to know the difference”….. 🙏



  • 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-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. thanks to Paula Belluomini astrologer and Llewellyn’s Daily Planetary Guide for opportunity periods and dates.

The Moon and Astrology: How it affects our daily life… Transiting Moon in Virgo July 2025

Present Moon Sign/Phase/House:

16341926-manga-style-illustration-of-zodiac-symbol-virgo[1]
http://www.123rf.com: Copyright : rudall30

  • Date: July 26 @4:55 pm (ET) @1:55 pm (PT)
  • Moon Sign: Virgo
  • Moon Phase: 1st
  • Void-off-Course: July 28 @8:57 pm (ET) @5:12 pm (PT)  to moon into Libra late that night or early morning on the 29th. Moon v/c is not one of the 4 “good signs” Try not to make any important decisions or commitments now.
  • 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. 
  • 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 needs things to be “correct” or “perfect”. If you are an employer, be prepared that tasks may not get completed exactly the way you had expected, be gentle and patient. 😊
  • The Moon in Virgo can be good for the following activities:
  • Break Habits (Better if in the moon is in the 3rd or 4th quarter):
  • Canning foods (Better if in the moon is in the 3rd or 4th quarter):
  • Fixing Cars:
  • Hair cut for less growth (Better if in the moon is in the 3rd or 4th quarter):
  • Mowing the lawn to retard growth (Better if in the moon is in the 3rd or 4th quarter):
  • Sending Mail:
  • Starting a diet (Better if in the moon is in the 3rd or 4th quarter): 
  • This moon sign will have more of an effect on those who have the following in their charts. 
  • Moon in Virgo
  • Sun in Virgo
  • Ascendant in Virgo
  • Mid-heaven in Virgo
  • Moon in 6th house
  • Any aspects to the Moon or Mercury.
  • And those who have a strong Pisces placement in their charts..

NOTES:

Saturday the 26th: Moon in Virgo, squares Uranus in Gemini, Qunicunx to Saturn in Aries, Qunicunx to Neptune in Aries and a Qunicunx to Pluto in Aquarius. All happening during the afternoon and evening, with the last aspect happening @9:37 pm (ET) @6:37 pm (PT). 

Sunday the 27th: The Moon in Virgo sextiles Jupiter in Cancer:

Monday the 28th: Venus in Gemini makes a sextile to Chiron in Aries. The Moon in Virgo conjuncts Mars in Virgo. Moon in Virgo squares Venus in Gemini. Aspects begin @ 12:55 pm (ET) 9:55 am (ET), with the last one begining @8:57 pm (ET) @5:57 pm (PT).

Aspects Definitions: 
  • Squares, these are challenging and can be frustrating, on the up side, Squares can push us to make changes that we have been putting off, or which we are “afraid” to embrace.. while the process may be painful, the results will be beneficial.
  • Opposition, another challenging aspect, where frustration levels may hit the roof, and it might not be easy to move ahead with projects or relationships, unless a compromise is reached, it’s not impossible but is it going to be worth it in the end.. that’s what needs to be figured out…
  • Quincunx can be a rather exasperating aspect, it’s a “smaller” aspect which is a good thing, as the signs involved are not compatible at all, the little “quin” can cause health issues too, however, a little rest, a getaway, meditation, deep breathing and if needed a complete “revamp” of the situation can be helpful in dealing with the challenges.
  • Trines and Sextile’s are “happy” aspects, most of the time things run fairly smoothly when they pop in, and can sometimes bring us good luck, the only down side to these guys is that they can make us lazy…
