Signs most likely to be affected: Taurus, Cancer, Aries, Virgo and Aquarius. Secondary signs most likely to be affected: Scorpio, Capricorn, Libra, Pisces and Leo.

Daily Feel for September 2nd: The day begins a little on the shaky side, lots of nervous energy flying around… perhaps some excitement, take care doing anything in the AM, we can get emotionally distracted or over-sensitive about things.. Take a deep breath and just remind yourself that “Rome was not built in a day”. Check what and to whom you make promises, and when others offer them to you, it’s best to take them with a pinch of salt, the intentions are good, but the follow through likely won’t be. Watch for excessiveness, in behaviors and spending. By the afternoon that nervous energy should be settling down a bit, reaching decisions should be much easier, and if you need to convince other’s of the plan or idea, there is a very good chance that you will.

Daily Feel for September 3rd When the Gemini energy kicks in we could be feeling restless, maybe a little bored, feeling like we should be going somewhere or doing something… it might also be a challenge to focus our minds or energy on thing. The good news is, Gemini is very adept at multi-tasking, so if we can just channel the restless energy into constructive energy, a lot could get accomplished today. We are rearing to go intellectually too, excited and enthusiastic about our ideas, we eagerly share them with other, who are bound to get caught up in the positive-ness of it all. Our intuitions are spot on, and our creative drive is in top gear, a wonderful day to get expressive in the craft area… However, some of us may get carried away in our enthusiasm, so take heed if a loved one suggests the idea is a little out of your league. There is a risk of high hopes with unrealistic plans gaining momentum over logic and common sense. Life Area’s most likely affected: Health/hygiene & service, community, daily appointments/errands, entertainment, kids & pets, and relationships/partnerships Signs most likely affected: Pisces, Libra and Aries Secondary Signs most likely affected: Virgo.

Daily Feel for September 4th: It is not the kind of day where matters should be forced; you aren’t going to get anywhere and may just upset someone. While it may be a challenge in some instances, patience is highly recommended today… If we can balance out the energies today, it could turn out to be a productive and positive one… On the one hand, we have some nervous energy floating around, encouraging us towards panic thinking, sort of like being in ‘crisis mode”… However, on the other hand, we have a very cheerful and helpful energy floating around us too… Balance the two energies and viola, we could almost forget about the negatives for whole day. J Some folks may find themselves on the answering end of a call for assistance, not to worry the experience will be a positive and uplifting one for you and the person/situation in need. Life Area’s most likely affected: Health/hygiene & service, Career & Duty, and friendships, new experiences, unique situations. Signs most likely affected: Gemini, Virgo, Aries, and Leo Secondary Signs most likely affected: Pisces, Libra and Aquarius.

  • NOTE: September 7th is Labour Day in Canada and the USA. This is a holiday for most. Enjoy…

Daily Feel for September 6th: Roll up your shirt sleeves today folks, because it’s “A Work a day” today.. lots can get done. It’s super difficult to shirk our responsibilities, so we may as well get right to them.. Finish off tasks and keep busy, the day will fly by, and at the end of it you are likely to feel a sense of accomplishment, putting up your feet for an evening of well earned relaxation.   Life Area’s most likely affected: Health/hygiene, work/service to and for others, career (could represent health care workers) and travel/visitors from other lands, new studies or learning a of a new craft.                                                                                                                                   Signs most likely affected: Cancer, Aries and Virgo                   Secondary signs most likely affected: Capricorn, Libra and Pisces.

 Present Moon Sign/Phase/House:

Copyright : Natalia Hubbert

  • Date: April 20 @7:22pm (ET) @4:22pm (PT)
  • Moon Sign: Aquarius 
  • Moon Quarter: 3rd
  • Void-of-Course: April 22 @5:55pm (ET) @2:55pm (PT) to moon into Pisces later that night. Aquarius Moon v/c is not one of the 4 “good signs” Try not to make any important decisions or commitments now.
  • Opportunity Period: NONE

What does it all mean?

  • Aquarius is “different”,  ahead of his time and capable of thinking & “seeing” things in a different way then the rest of us. 
  • Aquarius is ruled by Uranus, the planet of  shock and chaos. 
  • We may feel may inclined towards kindness, especially on a “global” level or towards animals, the elderly and those worse off. 
  • The time may be right to learn about some new technology. Even if it’s been around for a while, if you haven’t tried it, then it’s new to you. :) 
  • This moon period can bring out the rebel in us, prompting us to try new things and or meet new people. Just take care not to “rebel” for the sake of it… ;) 
  • Be careful not to break tradition just because one feels like being different as some may see it as one being “difficult”
  • Personal freedom and individuality is very important now. Partner’s try not to restrict each other’s movements. Parent’s it might be a tight line you walk now. Employer’s give your “worker’s” a little “slack”. 
  • Being organized might not be as easy now, so expect weird schedule’s and interrupted meetings and misplaced keys.
  • Changes may be in the air…if you are o.k. with change, it’s possible to make long-term plan changes now..
  • Could be a good time for inventions, putting pen to paper is more appropriate at this time,  instead of going full steam ahead with concrete plans. 
  • This moon sign will have more of an effect on those who have the following in their charts. And  those with a strong Leo placing in their charts. 
  • The next few days may be positive for: Joining a club, borrowing money, fixing cars, hair care (colours and chemical treatments), moving, painting, pouring cement, starting a new job or new construction. 
  • Moon in Aquarius
  • Sun in Aquarius
  • Uranus in Aquarius
  • Moon in the  11th house
  • Ascendant or Mid-heaven in Aquarius
  • Any aspects to the Moon or the sun . 

NOTES: 

  • Saturday April 19 @3:56pm (ET) @12:56pm (PT). The Sun moved out of the sign of Aries and into the sign of Taurus. This sweet, patient and hard working sign, is ruled by the lovely Venus. Taurus is a fixed earth sign and she is connected to the 2nd house of financial and material security.

    Happy Birthday Taurus..

     

  • Sunday, April 20th: Easter Sunday, this day represents the time in Christian history, when Jesus, after being crucified on Good Friday, rose from the dead, as he said that he would do. This is a family day, celebrated with gatherings, church, food and lots and lots of chocolate.

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… 

  • Cancer
  • Taurus
  • Sagittarius
  • Pisces…

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.

“This last quarter moon OP is good for reviewing work or fixing relationships issues, helped by Venus and Mercury retrograde”  PB

What does it all mean?

  • Pisces is compassionate and caring. She can be taken for granted and may be easily deceived. 
  • Sometimes Pisces isn’t about helping others, but helping oneself. And sometimes, it may be the Piscean doing the deceiving. 
  • We can be more psychic during a Pisces moon, but we can also be easily deceived, so be sure of the “messages” received during this time.
  • Be careful if something sounds too good to be true, look for the hidden agenda
  • We can be susceptible to taking in stray animals and stray people now. 
  • Our hearts can be broken or melted during this time depending on who is telling us what and what may be revealed now. 
  • We can feel more spiritual with a Pisces moon, indicating this could be a good time to join a church or spiritual group
  • Keep an open mind when delving into new spiritual situations, ask questions and don’t believe everything you hear or see. 
  • We can be wistful, impressionable, nostalgic and dreamy now.
  • The moon in Pisces will have more effect on those who have the following in their charts: And those who have strong Virgo placements in their charts
  • Moon in Pisces:
  • Sun in Pisces:
  • Moon in the 12th house
  • Aspects to the Moon or Neptune
  • Neptune in Pisces
  • Ascendant or Mid-Heaven in Pisces

NOTES:

Thursday, March 27 @ 4:41am (ET) @ 1:41am (PT)

  • Venus enters the sign of Pisces.
  • This is a comfortable meeting for both Venus and Pisces… Each can help the other bring forth their best qualities…
  • The down side, is that it’s easier to be decieved when it comes to relationships, we can believe everything, and perhaps be ready to sacrifice our own needs to assist the other person(s).
  • For the most part, the love life will be affectionate, happy and carefree.
  • This may be a good time to talk about challenging subjects as we may be more open to listening and understanding.
  • Always, go with your “gut” instincts, have fun, be smart and if something doesn’t feel right, it probably isn’t..

The Moon and Astrology: How it affects our daily life…Transiting Moon in Capricorn… Transiting Jupiter goes Retrograde October 2024

Present Moon Sign/Phase/House:

  • Date: October 9 @5:38 am(ET) @2:38 am(PT)
  • Moon Sign: Capricorn
  • Moon Phase: 1st moves into 2nd sometime on the 10th
  • Void-of-Course: October 11 @11:53am(ET) @8:53am(PT) to moon into Aquarius just after noon.  Capricorn Moon v/c is not one of the 4 “good signs” 
  • Opportunity Period: None

What does it all mean?

  • Capricorn is business, duty and discipline. She is ruled by Saturn, the planet of restrictions. 
  • Change may be more challenging to deal with, and we may be resistant towards it…  
  • 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 favourable time or a stressful one. 
  • Good time to watch, listen and learn
  • This moon sign will have more of an effect on those who have the following in their charts. And those who have a strong Cancer placing in their charts. 
  • Moon in Capricorn
  • Sun in Capricorn
  • Saturn in Capricorn
  • Moon in Cancer
  • Any aspects to the Moon or Saturn

NOTES:
  • Jupiter, the planet of expansion, currently in the sign of Gemini, goes into retrograde motion on October 9th @ 3:05am (ET) @12:05am (PT).
  • Gemini is chatty, sociable, can be community orientated and neighbourly… However, Gemini may also be superficial and attracted to the latest trends… Being in Jupiter while he is in retrograde motion, may slow us down a bit regarding our ability to communicate, probably a good thing, as during such times, it is a good idea to think carefully before we speak… Community events may not go as planned, but will still be fun and productive. Some of us may be feeling more restless then usual. 
  • When Jupiter visits a sign/house, he encourages growth in that life area, he is a jolly sort and likes to grow, learn and risk a thing a two along the way to allow growth to happen… Trips and learning something new can be exciting.. However, while Jupiter is in retrograde motion what happens now, may have to be repeated sometime in the future… Don’t be alarmed if you have to re-take a test/exam or are not able to finish all your vacation plans… Retrograde times are times of learning… Jupiter is a lucky planet, he holds open doors of opportunity, he will remain Mr. Jolly always, it will be up to us, during retrograde times to be aware that not everything will pan out the way we thought it might, and we may have to look a little bit harder for those open doors of opportunity. 
  • Friday October 11th: Yom Kippur Begins and Sundown
  • Friday October 11th: Pluto, in the sign of Capricorn goes Direct. 

Wishing a very Happy Born Day to our sister in law Marie this week…. May the coming year be filled with good health, happiness and joy…
