The Moon & Astrology; how it affects our daily life: Transiting Moon In Leo May 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 is not 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.

  • Date: May 22 to May 25 2015
  • Moon Sign: Leo at approx @ 5:42 pm (ET) 2:32 pm (PT) 
  • Moon Phase: 1st
  • Void-off-Course:May 24 6:50 am (ET) 3:50 am (PT) to May 25 4:52 am(ET) 1:52 am (PT) Leo Moon v/c is not one of the 4 “good signs”
  • House(s): 12th: 12th house of dreams, intuition and institutions.
  • Opportunity Period: May 22 @ 5:42 am (ET) 2:42 am (PT) to May 24 @ 6:50 am (ET) 3:50 am (PT): Time to buckle down and get some serious work done… afterwards its time to “get to your party on”… :) 

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 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 12th house: some folk may be craving some solitude now, soft music and peaceful surroundings help to soothe frayed nerves, while loud music and over bearing people can be unsettling. 
  • 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 the 12th house
    • Moon in the 5th house 
    • Aspects to the moon or the sun

Sun Enters Gemini May 21 2015

Sun into Gemini May 21 2015

  • Gemini is one of the dual signs of the zodiac, multi faceted, multi task orientated, and sometimes close friends and relatives would say multi person…. :) 
  • Gemini is an air sign, ruled by the planet of communication Mercury, it’s easy to understand why some Gemini’s have the “gift of the gab” and are usually pretty adept at “small talk”
  • It’s not unusual to find a Gemini doing more than one thing at once, having two-part time jobs or signing up for all kinds of things..  
  • Gemini folk need to be busy, if they aren’t doing, then they have to be planning something. A full date book is likely a happy if somewhat frazzled Gemini. 
  • And while their airy nature allows them to be easy-going and flexible for most of the time, don’t be surprised when they tell you no, when they don’t want to do something they won’t it’s that simple. :) 
  • Thanks for your enjoyment of life Gemini, for your ability to get lots done in a little bit of time and your ability to move along with the flow of life… :)

  • Date: May 20 to May 22 2015
  • Moon Sign: Cancer @ 9:56 am (ET):  6:56 am (PT)
  • Moon Phase: 1st 
  • Void-off-Course: May 21 8:36 pm(ET) 5:36 pm (PT) to May 22 @ 5:42 pm (ET) 2;42 pm (PT)
  • House(s):10th & 11th: 10 house of This is our work, career, vocational house and our standing within the community. 11th house of friends, teams and humanitarian works. 
  • Opportunity Period: May 21 8:37 pm (ET) 5:37 pm (PT) to May 22 @ 5:42 pm (ET) 2;42 pm (PT). We could be feeling more passionate than usual, or we could feel the urge to research or seek out answers to “secrets”. 

What does it all mean?

  • The moon is happy in the sign of Cancer because she rules here. 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 cuddler, helping our loved ones feel secure and in deed needed. 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, good food and just plain old lovings… :) Enjoy..
  • In the 10th house: Focus on the career and getting ahead may be the making or breaking or our emotional selves now. Take care to be disciplined and you could go far in the work place. Accomplishments can happen in your working world now, but take care not to bring your work home… or else run the risk of creating unwanted stress in your domestic situation which in turn will add stress to your working world.
  • In the 11th house: We can find it easier to distance ourselves from our relationship involvements, yet still feel passionate when it comes to the “art of lovemaking”. Gadgets and electronics can pique our interests now. 
  • This moon sign will have more of an effect on those who have the following in their charts. And those who have a strong Sagittarius or Capricorn placing in their charts.
  • Moon in Cancer: (these folk may really feel the influence of the moon, emotions may be close to the surface)
  • Ascendant in Cancer:
  • Sun in Cancer:
  • Moon in the 4th, 10th or 11th house:
  • Aspects to the Moon:
