What does it all mean?
Mercury is the planet of communications, he is also a messenger and likes to do two things at once. He rules Gemini and Virgo.
Retrograde motion means that from the earth’s perspective it appears that the planet Mercury is going backwards.
Our communications and organizational skills may not be up to par during this time.
Messages can get misinterpreted or misplaced.
We can miss appointments during this period, so check your date book frequently and place all scheduled appointments in your date book or phone in a place you will see them often.
It’s not a good time to begin anything until after the 11th of February if it’s at all possible. Projects begun now are not likely to go as planned.
Be prepared to redo things.
It’s the perfect time to review, redecorate, renew…. However, it’s advisable that we all check and double-check the fine print before signing on the dotted line.
Stick to the hobbies already begun.
Don’t be disappointed if things don’t go exactly as planned regarding our “down time”.
Take extra care when sending out invitations to an event, make sure you have the date, time and place correct… or else you may find you have to get them printed all over again.
Be Prepared have more than one thing on the go at once, however, take care not to add more to your agenda then you can comfortably do, else run the risk of mixing up your “homework” or dates.
Relationships might have to be re-assessed
Beginning January 1 2016 Write down any new creative ideas for future reference,note the time and re visit the list after February 1 2016.
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 Period:
What does it all mean?
Libra has a need for balance, indicating this moon period may be an ideal time to implement some into our daily lives.
A desire for justice may be present, dealing with issues that have upset our sense of justice may prove to be productive.
Diplomacy is likely to be more apparent during the next few days, and may be a good time to bring up that topic you have been putting on the back burner.
Hesitation is probably going to raise its head, we may see many sides of a story and find it difficult to make up our minds.
Difficulty in making commitments or long-term decisions, because we can’t make up our minds. If this is the case perhaps wait a few days until the move has moved out of Libra.
Libra is happiest when in a relationship or partnership. Indicating this may be a good time to begin one. :)
Co-operation should be in the air, making this an ideal time to make plans with others.
May be a good time to improve our appearance and surroundings.
May be great time to go bargain hunting,
In the 12 house, we may feel more inclined to spend time alone. For some of us it may mean a trip to the hospital, to visit someone or for a procedure. Secrets may be created or affairs of the heart fantasized about, take care what you tell who during the next few days, and be careful to forget the secrets you are told.
