    • Being disciplined towards our “duties/chores” may be easier to achieve. 
    • Dealings with the elderly may be in focus. 
    • Dealings with “authority” types, such as teachers, principles, supervisor’s may be in focus. Being respectful of such positions may help to alleviate tension. 
    • This could be a good time to get mundane business tasks out-of-the-way
    • If you have been waiting to get a “chaotic” situation under control, now may be a good time to do it. 
    • Rules and regulations may be in focus, and depending on how you deal with these, it could be a favorable time or a stressful one. 
    • Good time to watch, listen and learn
    • We may find we are looking at our “worth” now, including the salary we get paid. 
    • We are happy to work for our “keep”, knowing we are doing a good job. 
    • In the 3rd house, some folks may find they are spending more time with siblings …. day-to-day activities should go smoothly… although some folks may find they are busier then usual.  

This moon sign will have more of an effect on those who have the following in their charts. And those who have a strong Gemini or Cancer placing in their charts. 

  • Moon in Capricorn:
  • Sun in Capricorn:
  • Saturn in Capricorn:
  • Moon in the 3rd house:

***NOTES***

  • The Sun Enters the Sign of Gemini on May 21 @ 3:59 am (ET) 12:59 am (PT).
  • Gemini is ruled by Mercury, the planet of communications, transportation and technology.
  • Gemini is a dual sign, she has more than one side to her nature and is the sign of Twins.
  • Gemini is chatty and can be superficial… She can have many things on the go at once, and many Gemini folk may have more then one job, likely in the form of two part time jobs.
  • Boredom is the “enemy” of Gemini… they need to keep busy and can be quick to become restless…

Many Happy Returns of the day go out to: Annette, Debbie, Chandra, Christopher, Cheryl and to all Gemini’s may this be a fabulous year for you… :)

*** Mercury moves into the sign of Gemini until June 28th.

As mentioned above, Mercury rules this sign and is connected to the 3rd house of siblings, day to day affairs, short trips and correspondence.

Mercury is content in this position, he will enhance the mind power of all Gemini’s and any of us who may have a strong Mercury/Gemini chart influence. It is easier to get our point across now, however, some of us may have to watch how much we talk… it’s a chit chatty time for some of us. Make good use of this influence, by seeing to anything that requires strong mental power… it could be a good time for study or for picking up a new subject.

  • 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.

  • Taurus is ruled by Venus, so she is probably happy visiting here.. Taurus needs emotional and material security, can be slow to learn but once she has grasped the lesson she won’t soon forget it…

  • Good time to sort out the closet and if you live in a warmer climate it’s a good time to set up a yard sale.

  • Some of us may be tempted by comfort foods and drink

  • Those who aren’t happy with, icky, dirty, sticky or “ugly” will feel it even more now
  • Could be a good time for those who enjoy singing

  • Cancer is ruled by the Moon the “planet” that rules our emotions and reactions. 
  • Cancer is sensitive and rules our domestic world/ways.

SGC Admin Astrology Info, Astrology Notes, Retrograde Planets

Astrology and how it affects our daily life: Pluto goes Retrograde April 24 2019

 

 

Pluto is the planet of regeneration, death, destruction, decay, sex, reincarnation, recycling and rejuvenation. He is the ruler of Scorpio (old ruler of Scorpio was Mars) and he is connected to the 8th house and the reproductive organs in the human body. Pluto is one of the outer planets of our system and as such, his influence isn’t as strong as the inner planets… but it will still affect us to some extent…He is retrograde in the sign of Capricorn and will remain retrograde until October 2 2019. 

What does it mean when Pluto goes Retrograde? 

  • We may find we are re-assessing our use of power, or how we “control or manipulate” others/situations.
  • Some folks may find they are “forced” into giving up bad habits.. (which isn’t a bad thing if it’s helps you to become a better you)
  • Our desire to control, or for control decreases, this can be a good thing for the folks around the folks who get through life by controlling or “bullying” others for the sake of their own agenda’s… But might not be so good for the folks who need a push to get motivated or moving with life. 
  • This can be a good time to reflect on how we have been dealing with the changes and transformations that have taken place since the last Pluto retrograde… if we haven’t been doing too well with our changes, we might get some clues on how to make it a little easier now. 
  • If you have folk in your life who have a tendency to want to control you, (remember, this is sometimes done out of love and good intentions) .. it’s as good a time as any right now to distance yourself from these folks or to remove them from your life all together. 
  • Those with the following in their natal, transit or progressed charts will feel the effects of this Pluto retrograde the most.
  • Sun in Scorpio
  • Moon in Scorpio
  • Pluto in Scorpio
  • Ascendant in Scorpio
  • Midheaven in Scorpio
  • Aspects to Pluto
  • Pluto aspects to the Sun, Moon Mars, Mercury, and Venus.
  • Sun in the 8th house
  • Pluto in the 8th house.

The Sun Moves into Taurus April 20 2019: Venus Moves into the sign of Aries

Child taurus Stock Vector - 15420411
http://www.123rf.com: Copyright : oxygen64
  • Sun Sign: Taurus
  • Element: Earth 
  • Ruled by: Venus
  • Connected to: The neck and Voice
  • Connected to: The 2nd house of financial and emotional security

 

Taurus Folk are, reliable, hard-working, dedicated and can be very, very stubborn… Don’t be fooled by their laid back manner and endless patience, they have a “stick to it” attitude that can out do the other signs, and they rarely ever quit once committed…

Taurus is ruled by the planet Venus, who is all about luxury, beauty and money…. So Taurus folk are likely to be attracted to fine  food, good drink and expensive material possessions…

Happy Birthday Taurus have a fabulous day and an awesome year ahead….

  • Special birthday wishes go out to
  • Nicole K,
  • Emma,
  • Jessie,
  • John K,  
  • Pat…
  • And to all who celebrate a birthday during this sign. 

Those most influenced under this sign change are those who have the following in their birth chart or who’s progressed chart has the following.

  • Sun in Taurus:
  • Moon in Taurus:
  • Venus in Taurus:
  • Planets in the 2nd house. 

 

Venus moves into the sign of Aries on April 20 at 12:11 pm (ET) @ 9:11 (PT) until May 16th. 

Venus is the ruler of Taurus and Libra… Some fun times could be ahead in the romance department… but if you are looking for all sweetness and butterflies, you could be disappointed… Aries (ruled by Mars) is upfront and likes things happening in the moment… it’s not about what has gone before, but rather what is possible right now… Watch the budget, we could be prompted to spend impulsively now... 💖
