August 6 2025:
“Treasure your profound sense of humour,
Honour the ability to laugh amid strife and earthly furor,
When life becomes too intense and you simply need to vent,
Allow your humour to unfold for it is a gift that is heaven sent,
To have the ability to simply laugh at the trials that continually press,
Your laugher then becomes a much needed release from tension and stress”.

All of the traits of the moon in Aquarius will be amplified, bigger then usual… take care when it comes to taking risks or being “rebellious” Could be a fantastic time to finish up any technology projects. The Full Moon is the best time to get down to business and finish up all the little chores we may have on the go, of course, we can’t attend to them all, but at least we might be able to get some finished up. Aquarius is ahead of the curve in most things, and is quite capable of doing many things, so this could be a good time for something “new” to come to fruition, that may have been sitting in the back corner for the last little while. There may be a slight Pisces “flavor” to this full moon along with the Aquarius influence.

The Moon and Astrology: How it affects our daily life…Transiting Moon in Aries…March 2025
Present Moon Sign/Phase/House:
- Date: March 28th @4:26pm (ET) @1:36pm (PT)
- Moon Sign: Aries
- Moon Phase: 4th
- Void-off-Course: March 30 @5:18am (ET) @2:18am (PT) to moon in Taurus later in the afternoon. Moon v/c in Aries is not one of the 4 “good signs” Make sure you get all the facts before rushing ahead with plans.
- Opportunity Period: None
What does it all mean?
- Aries is action, he is the most masculine of the Zodiac signs as he is ruled by the planet Mars
- We should have slightly more get up and go when the moon is in Aries
- We are happy to defend our loved ones
- We are apt to speak up more, even those of us who consider themselves to be “timid” can find the voice they need right now.
- May be a good time to get your message across or to ask for what you need
- Be careful when driving especially when upset or angry
- We may be more susceptible to head injuries or head aches
- We could be eager to start projects now, however, we have just experienced a full moon, (time to finish up) so if you really want to start something now, choose something small… :)
- Be careful about while engaging in physical activities, we may feel stronger or more “heroic” at the moment but our bodies might not be in the same “zone” :)
- We may be more decisive than usual, as always use caution …
- Be careful about saying yes to everything right now, we might feel like we can handle more, but when the time comes we could be sorry we took on so much at once.
- Being healthy and feeling good so we can help others, or at the very least get our chores done may be on the agenda for the next few days. .
- Adults with a strong mars or Aries influence may be acting more like children than adults.
- Some of us could be more insensitive or appear more selfish to others.
- If you aren’t looking to enlarge your family right now, take care, Aries has a lot of sexual energy to utilize… ;)
- The Moon in Aries will have a slight effect on all of us, but it will have more of an effect on those who have the following in their charts: Along with those who have a strong Libra placement in their charts
- Moon in Aries:
- Sun in Aries:
- Ascendant or Midheaven in Aries:
- Mars in Aries:
- Moon in the 1st:
- Aspects to the Moon or Mars:
Notes:
Saturday March 29:
Mercury enters Pisces. This isn’t the best placement for Mercury, he doesn’t feel 100% himself, so he might not always be up the task. He is also in retrograde motion during this time. Mercury is connected to technology, transportation and communications. Expect messages to get mislaid or sent to the wrong address, communications to get misunderstood, and perhaps a few hic-ups with the car, the cell phone, lap top or other techno thing.
When Mercury is in Pisces, we may not be able to quite grasp the logic of the situation, it is easy for us to see things in “colour”, our imagination is alive and well and we can express ourselves easier, what ever our chosen method of communication. However, for some of us, frustrations may arise with our loved ones and/or work college’s may drift of from the subject being discussed, causing us to constantly re-direct the conversation.
Saturday March 29 @6:58 am(ET) @3:58 am(PT).
Solar Eclipse, New Moon 9 degrees Aries.
The Sun is also in Aries now, and this is a good position for the “warrior”. The new moon is the perfect time to begin new projects, jobs, relationships, enterprizes, studies, just about anything you need. The Aries New Moon is slightly more powerful than other signs… Because Aries is the first sign of the Zodiac, he is the beginning, he is connected to the 1st house of self… Anything that empowers us as an individual will be in focus now, making this a good time to focus on the things that we need to do for ourselves, to help propel us forward towards our goals… or to help us get back on track after being thrown off, (life has a way of doing that sometimes)… What ever it is you need to push youself forward, prop yourself up or assert your needs will be easier to do during this time… We can feel braver and better equipped to try something new, or protect others.
The Solare eclipse highlites our emotional self, the energy of the solar eclipse may last up to 6 months.. This Solar New Moon Eclispe, will have a great affect on the following: Aries, Libra, Capricorn and Cancer (4 to 14 degrees).
Sunday, March 30:
Neptune enters the sign of Aries.
- Neptune rules Pisces, he is imagination, compassion, sensitive, psychic and nostaligic. Aries can be impatient, insensitive and may find it difficult to unravel the imagination. The traits have equal “power” but niether one can out do the other… However, Aries can push us out of our “wonderland” into action, so don’t while away our days in dream land, and Neptune can pull us back and teach us to be compassionate and patient… If things are meant to happen they will, in good time….
Sunday March 30:
- Eid Al-Fitr begins at Sundown: Ramadan Ends:
We wish all who celebrate Eid Al-Fitr happy celebrations.

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
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 Paula Belluomini present day astrologer, William Lilly 17th century astrologer and Llewellyn’s Daily Planetary Guide for opportunity periods and dates.
