The Moon and Astrology: How it affects our daily life…Transiting Moon in Gemini January 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.

  • Date: January 28 to January 30/31 2015
  • Moon Sign: Gemini: 5:36 pm (ET) 2:36 pm (PT)
  • Moon Phase: 2nd Quarter
  • Void-off-Course: 4:24 am (ET) 1:24 am (PT) January 30 to 11:09 pm (PT) January 30: 2:09 am (ET) January 31 2015
  • House: 8th: House of secrets, research, death, regeneration, shared money matters and mergers: 
  • Opportunity Period: Yes: 7:13 pm (ET) 4:13 pm (PT) January 29 to 3:23 am (ET) 12:23 am (PT) January 30. This is a good time for mental work, as we should be able to think a little bit more clearly during this OP.

What does it all mean?

  • Gemini is an air sign and needs lots of stimuli. She is ruled by Mercury. Mercury’s storm and retrograde periods are from January 17 until February 19 2015. Try not to start any new projects now, instead write down any new ideas, include the date and time too. 
  • 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
  • In the 8th house: Watch out for being possessive or jealous when dealing with personal relationships. Our emotions can be more intense now indicating we may feel more than is really going on. Use any excess energy for sorting through items you no longer need, set up your donation pile and your garbage pile and set to it… :) 
  • 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. 
  • This moon sign will have more of an effect on those who have the following in their charts. 
  • Moon in Gemini,
  • Sun in Gemini
  • Sun in Scorpio
  • Moon in Scorpio
  • Moon in the 8th house
  • Any aspects to the Moon or Mercury

  • What does it mean?
  • Venus is the planet of money and beauty, she is the most feminine of the planets and is sometimes referred to as the “Goddess of Love” She rules Libra and Taurus.

  • We may find ourselves visiting friends and loved ones in the hospital or nursing home. 
  • Institutions, such as hospitals, service barracks, prisons, universities, court etc, may be in focus now. 
  • Spending some alone time with a good book or movie can do us a world of good now.
  • We can feel more “in tune”, appreciative and attracted to our partners. 
  • If you have the time see who needs an extra hand and volunteer your time or skills, it’s bound to be rewarding.
  • Find a way to relax, if you are into sports going to a fun event is one great way to do so. 
  • Pets may be especially sensitive now, so take some time to spend with them if they are being “sucky”. 
  • We can be more “psychic” now, so take care to listen to your intuition.
  • Gambling may seem like a fun way to chill out, just be sure you check the budget and don’t go crazy. 
  • Secrets may be shared, be sure to keep those given to you… and be careful who you share yours with.

Present Moon Sign/Phase/House:

  • Date: January 26 to January 28 2015
  • Moon Sign: Taurus: 11:37 am (ET) 8:37 am(PT)
  • Moon Phase: 1st quarter:
  • Void-off-Course: Yes: 9:18 pm (ET) 6:18 pm (PT) January 27 to 5:36 pm (ET) 2:36 pm (PT) January 28 2015: Moon in Taurus v/c is one of the 4 “good signs”
  • House: 7th … The house of partnerships and relationships
  • Opportunity Period: None

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… :) 
  • In the 7th house: Focus may be on our relationships and partnerships. We may be more patient with our loved ones, and/or willing to find workable solutions to existing challenges within those relationships. Taurus can be stubborn though, so if she thinks she is the one who is right and the partner believes they are right, this could prove to be a make it or break few days where our relationships are concerned. 
  •  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.. 
  • This moon sign will have more of an effect on those who have the following in their charts. 
    • Moon in Taurus,
    • Sun in Taurus,
    • Venus in Taurus
    • Sun in Libra
    • Moon in Libra
    • Venus in Taurus
    • Moon in 7th house.
    • Any aspects to the Moon or Venus.
