  • Moon Sign: Taurus: 
  • Moon Phase: 4th Good for getting things completed and finished

  • 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… :)
  •  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. Those with strong Libra and Scorpio placements in their charts will also be effected. 
    • Moon in Taurus,
    • Sun in Taurus,
    • Venus in Taurus
    • Sun in Libra
    • Moon in Libra
    • Venus in Taurus
    • Any aspects to the Moon or Venus.

Sun Enters Gemini: May 20 @ 9:49 am (ET) @ 6:49 am (PT):

  • Gemini is ruled by the planet Mercruy and is connected to the 3rd house in the zodial wheel
  • Gemini is an air sign
  • Mental stimulation is required by Gemini folks, along with the ability to chane jobs, or to work at a job/career that allows variety
  • Gemini folks are adept at multi tasking… easy peasy for these guys to do more than one thing at a time…
  • It is not unusual for Gemini folk to hold down more than one job at a time…
  • Gemini is one of the dual signs of the zodiac… quick to adapt and change, depending on what and who is going on around them..
  • Intellectual, but may find it a challenge to focus on one thing at a time… sometimes this can lead to jumbled thoughts.

Many Happy Returns go out to the following, and to all who celebrate the Gemini birthday… you guys keep the momento going and bing us variety… :)

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.

  • Use the time of this retrograde motion, to do a bit of soul searching, you may not be able to phyiscally go out and learn, or travel… but you can still dream, and think about what you want to succeed at in your lifetime… do some research, put pen to paper and begin to make your dreams a reality… :) 
  • Good luck can still come our way during this time, but we may have to do some work to bring it to us… 
  • Too much enthuisasim may backfire… check the extra “bubbles” at the door… however, a positive and helpful outlook is always welcome.

Astrology and how it affects our daily life: Venus retrograde May to June 2020

Astrological “Event”:

Venus turns retrograde

Date: May 12 @ 11:45 pm (PT) May 13 @ 2:45 am (ET) to June 25 

This astrological “event” while having a slight effect on everyone, will have a stronger and longer lasting effect on those who have the following in their charts: 

  • Venus in Libra
  • Venus in Taurus
  • Sun in Libra
  • Sun in Taurus
  • Venus in the 7th house
  • Venus in the 2nd house
  • Ascendant in Venus
  • Mid-heaven in Venus
  • Any aspects to Venus

What does it all mean? 

  • Venus is the planet of beauty and money, she is likely the most feminine of the planets. Venus is the ruler of Libra (relationships) and Taurus (material security).
  • Retrograde… as we look at the planet Venus from earth, she “appears” to be going backwards. Time to redo, resort, re-energize… 
  • We may take our loved ones and close friends for granted… :(  
  • Some of us may become invisible to those around us… if that happens, don’t be shy about letting folk know you are still around
  • This could be a good time to do a reshuffle regarding our relationships, including our friends, co-workers and business partners. 
  • It’s easy to become disconnected with others during this time as our focus may be drawn inwards. Spending time with folk who can help us come out of our “shell” is a good idea and should be practiced whenever possible. 
  • How we look on the outside may represent how we are feeling on the inside, if positive feelings are needed to get through the day, feeling good about how we look is the first step. 
  • Be aware of the budget, try not to go over it.. if time permits this may be a good time to go over the weekly/monthly budget. 

As Venus becomes direct again:

  • Hopefully we have a better understanding of our selves and who we want to call friends. 
  • It’s time to get serious about who we spend our time, this includes all relationships dealt with on a daily basis.
  • If a new look is whats needed to get things going again, go for it.. it should be easier to know what we want regarding our appearance. 
  • Our finances may need seeing to, however, if we have been vigilant over the last few months all should be well in this area. 
  • If we have been stagnating where making a major purchase is concerned, the right item @ the right price may be just around the corner. 
  • A good time to spruce up our environment… new paint, new pictures, new drapes etc… 
  • A strong desire to shop, shop and shop again.. may come over some of us… :)

Astrology and how it affects our daily life: Mercury into Gemini May 2020

 

Astrological Event:

Mercury Moves  into a new Sign

New Sign: Gemini

Date: May 11 2020 @ 5:58 pm (ET) 2:58 pm (PT)

What does it all mean?

  • Mercury is all about the mind… how we think…  he is the messenger, he relates to how we communicate… He rules over transportation, technology and innovation… He is the ruler of the signs Gemini and Virgo and is associated with the 3rd and 6th houses.
  • Mental stimulation is welcomed, and required by some during this time..
  • Restlessness and boredom are forever just around the corner… 
  • Keeping ourselves busy with multiple projects can keep the boredom at bay… 
  • Take care not to take on too much during this time, it’s easier to do then we may think. 
  • Chit chatting, is the name of the game, gathering bits of information along the way… 
  • Sticking to one thing at a time, or being totally focused on one thing at a time could be more challenging now. 
  • Even though we are “craving information” and may feel restless, some of us may be more comfortable dealing with surface matters, then ones that go too “deep” ;)
  • Messages, meetings, emailing, texting and day to day chores could get busy now.

Transiting Moon in Gemini August 2016

 

Present Moon Sign/Phase/House:

  • Date: April 25 @ 3:20am (ET) @ 12:20am (PT)
  • Moon Sign: Gemini: 
  • Moon Phase: 1st
  • Void-of-Course: April 27 @ 1:00 pm (ET) 10:00 am (PT) to moon into Cancer about 1/2 an later. VOC Moon in Gemini is NOT one of the “good” VOC signs.
  • Opportunity Period: April 26 @ 6:32 pm (ET) @ 3:31 pm (PT) to VOC Moon on the 27th. A “foggy” start to this opportunity period, which should present clearer thinking as the day moves on.

***NOTES***

Pluto goes retrograde on Saturday April 25th @ 2:54 pm (ET) @ 11:54 am (PT). He remains in Retrograde motion until the beginning of October.

Changes in an area of life that is active in your chart are likely… However, some of these changes won’t happen all at once. Some folks may experience an event, or a situation that brings about realization that a change needs to occur. This in turn prompts research and conversation in how to excute the change.. There may also be times when we think a situation is completed, only to find it appearing once again, demanding attention…

The next few months will be about seeing things as they truly are, being honest with oneself, being aware of our power, yet not letting it define us… Whatever crisis comes along now, is unlikely to be resloved all at once… Patience, understanding and compromise may be required…

Those who have a strong Pluto or Scorpio chart influence, may feel the effects of this movement more than the rest of us… :)

 

What does it all mean?

  • Gemini is an air sign and needs lots of stimuli. She is ruled by Mercury. 
  • The house connected to Gemini is the 3rd house of: day-to-day travel/affairs and siblings… we could find ourselves busy with multiple things going on, even if they are just in our own minds… ;) Dealings with family, especially siblings, are likely. Memories are shared and possible solutions to old problems can be found. However, wait until after the Mercury Retrograde before putting any new ideas or plans into motion. 
  • We may find we are trying to do multiple things at once, which may not go exactly as we may have planned. If you do find you have tons of ideas spinning around in your head, take pen to paper and jot them down… it will ease the “inside chatter” and you may find some of them useful later on. 
  • 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
  • A new study could be on the cards for some of us.. and it will likely be approached with enthusiasm. 
  • If it’s possible to go on vacation now, grab the chance, you might learn more than you could have ever imagined… :) 
  • 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. 
  • With the moon in Gemini in the 1st quarter it may be good for: Entertaining Guests, Joining a club and sending mail.
  • This moon sign will have more of an effect on those who have the following in their charts.
        • Sun in Gemini
        • Moon in Gemini
        • Moon in the 3rd house
        • Moon in Sagittarius
        • Any aspects to the Moon, Mercury or Jupiter
