The Moon and Astrology: How it affects our daily life… Transiting Moon in Scorpio July 2015

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… The moon stays with each sign 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.

  • Date: August 20 to 22 2015
  • Moon Sign: Scorpio 5:24 am (ET) 2:24 am (PT)
  • Moon Phase: 1st
  • Void-off-Course: August 22  3:31 pm: (ET) 1:41 pm (PT) to 4:41 pm (ET) 1:41 pm (PT)
  • House(s): 1st house: Of the self… one’s own needs and desires are in focus
  • Opportunity Period: None

What does it all mean?

  • Scorpio is very intense and probably the most sensitive of the zodiac signs
  • The moon relates to our emotions, indicating we could be feeling everything more deeply for the next couple of days
  • We can immerse ourselves in our projects now.
  • Watch for becoming obsessed with someone or something…. not everyone falls for someone at the same time and patience may be needed regarding sensitive relationship matters
  • Be sure that your partner, friend, lover, co-worker or school friend is really trying to upset your personal apple cart before making waves
  • We could be encouraged or directed towards taking risks or doing things we wouldn’t normally do, especially those of a group or team nature. 
  • Sex may be high on the agenda for some of us… so if you don’t want to help the world population grow right now use caution… :) 
  • Some of us may be highly creative right now, while others get connected to their psychic side… 
  • Secrets may be told now… we can be enticed to open up to others about our deepest feelings/fantasy’s…
  • In the 1st house: Our needs and desires are at the top of the agenda, making this a challenging time for folk who are used to doing things their way as they may inadvertently upset others, or come across as being selfish. Being aware of how we speak to and deal with others is a good way of keeping any selfish streak under control. For those who are usually the ones who do all the giving, enjoy this time, and do something nice for yourself, you deserve it… :) 
  • While we will all be effected slightly by the Scorpio moon, she will have a greater effect on those who have the following in their charts.. and those who have a strong Aries or Taurus placement in their charts. 
    • Moon in Scorpio
    • Sun in Scorpio
    • Moon in Aries
    • Ascendant in Scorpio
    • Mid-heaven in Scorpio
    • Moon in 1st or 8th house
    • Aspects to the Moon, Mars or Pluto

Present Moon Sign/Phase/House:

http://www.123rf.com: Copyright : Varvara Gorbash
  • Date:  August 17 to 20 2015
  • Moon Sign: Libra 4:23 pm (ET) 1:23 pm (PT)
  • Moon Phase: 1st
  • Void-off-Course: August 19 10:56 pm (ET) 7:56 pm (PT): Moon v/c in Libra is not one of the 4 void off course “good signs” Probably not the best time to make plans or commitments.
  • House: 12th: House of our psyche, institutions, secrets, fantasy and illusion.
  • Opportunity Period: August 19, 9:42 am (ET) 6:42 am (PT)… Great time for socializing. 

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 12th 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. 
  • This moon sign will affect us all but will have more of an effect on those who have the following in their charts.
    • Moon in Libra,
    • Sun in Libra,
    • Ascendant in Libra
    • Mid-heaven in Libra
    • Venus in Libra
    • Venus in Pisces
    • Moon in 12th house,
    • Moon in 7th house,
    • Any aspects to the Moon or Venus

  • Void-off-Course: August 15 @ 12:36 am (ET) August 14 @ 9:36 pm (PT) to August 15 3:46 am (ET) 12:46 am (PT). Leo Moon v/c is not one of the 4 “good signs”. Not the best time to make decisions regarding children or pets.
  • House(s): 10th: 10th house of responsibility, career, social standing.
  • Opportunity Period: None

What does it all mean?

  • The Leo Moon Loves Drama, so be warned… 
  • The Leo Moon loves to be noticed and recognized, so be prepared to “pump up” your loved ones and if you happened to have a Leo influence in yourself, be aware of how you may be going about getting recognized or appreciated… If you play your cards right this could be a positive time when you get to be where you need to be.
  • Try not to be overly “vain” and be prepared for drama at any-time from any direction
  • Try not to over react and if it’s not you doing the over reacting, try not to get caught up in the drama, or to encourage the over reactor
  • It’s a good time to check out the local talent, take in a down town show, get starry-eyed with your lover, or perhaps look for a new one, as romance is high on the priority ladder during this time. 
  • Might prove positive for hair cuts, make overs. 
  • In the 10th house: For some of us focus will be on our jobs and career’s, and this may be a positive time for folk who are looking for work, so stay open to possibilities and watch for opportunities. Behave while in social/business situations. Those who have families may need to keep their work at work, when it comes to family time. 
  • This moon period will affect everyone, but more so those who have the following in their charts: And those who have a strong Capricorn or Aquarius placement in their charts. 
    • Moon in Leo:
    • Sun in Leo:  
    • Moon in Aquarius
    • Sun in Aquarius
    • Moon in the 10th house
    • Moon in the 5th house

New Moon in Leo:

The moon will renew herself on August 14 2015…

  • Traditionally when the moon is new, it is said to be a good time to begin something… The moon moves into the 1st phase on August 15th, and it is suggested that we hold off on our new projects, ideas, relationships until the 15th.
  • Leo is a creative fire sign, indicating this may be a good opportunity for creative folk to show off their wares…
  • Ideas for decorating, fashion design and in any artistic endeavor can come quickly under this influence.. so get out your pencil and paper and jot them down.
  • Work related projects may get a “face-lift” or a green light to proceed.
  • For the true animal lover, this could be a good time to finally adopt that furry family member, but check and double check everything before making up your mind if the moon is void off course, which it is until August 15 @ 5:27 am (ET) 2:27 am (PT), when it moves into the sign of Virgo. 
  • And for those wanting to start a family go for it.. however, for those who aren’t quite ready, be advised… :) 
  • Enjoy creative time spent with good friends
  • New friends could come into your life now
