Full Moon ☺
  • The Moon becomes full on Friday, May 5th @ 1:34 pm(ET) @10:34 am (PT). The full moon is an ideal time to tie up loose ends, finish up projects and end situations that are no longer helpful, or, which carry nothing but negative energy. Please note: a full moon in Scorpio can be volatile, passions are strong, feelings are deep… Stay Focused. 
  • We will experience an LUNAR ECLIPSE @11:13 am (EDT): For more information on this Lunar Eclipse, please click here   🙂 
  • Friday May 5th is “Cinco De Mayo” For more information on this Mexican Celebration please click HERE
  • “May the 4th/force be with you”😉

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  

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.

The NEW MOON in Scorpio

  • The new moon is traditionally the best time for beginnings and the influences listed above will be stronger under a new moon… especially for those who have Scorpio or Taurus chart placings… 
  • When the moon renews herself in the sign of Scorpio, it may be wise for us to “be careful what we wish for” We are more passionate now and our emotions can get sometimes get the best of us.
  • Scorpio, has a connection to the “mysteries of the other world” She is intrigued by it… She will research it and sometimes embrace it…
  • Scorpio is ruled by Pluto and connected to the 8th house. Her ancient ruler was Mars. 
  • Scorpio is intense, everything she does she must feel “connected” to… This means that our emotions during this new moon will also be intense… Be sure that what you are feeling is real and not enhanced by the Scorpio moon..
  • If you have an idea or project you want to get off of the ground, the better day to begin would be on the 26th when the moon has moved into her first quarter. 

NOTES: 

  • A partial Solar Eclipse will occur on the 25th in 2 degrees Scorpio. Any Eclipse will enhance the traits of the sign it occurs in. Scorpio is a passionate, secretive and sometimes jealous sign.

The NEW MOON in Scorpio

November 4th 

  • The new moon is traditionally the best time for beginnings… The influences listed above will be stronger under a new moon… especially for those who have Scorpio chart placings… 
  • When the moon renews herself in the sign of Scorpio, it may be wise for us to “be careful what we wish for” … Scorpio, has a connection to the “mysteries of the under world” She is intrigued by it… She will research it and sometimes embrace it… She is ruled by Pluto (old ruler is Mars) and connected to the 8th house. 
  • Scorpio is intense, everything she does she must feel “connected” to… This means our emotions during this new moon will also be intense… Be sure that what you are feeling is real and not enhanced by the Scorpio moon..
  • If you have an idea or project you want to get off of the ground, the better day to begin would be on the 5th when the moon has moved into her first quarter. 

NOTES: 

  • Venus, the planet of love, beauty and money enters into the sign of Capricorn on Friday November 5th @ 6:44 am(ET) @ 3:44 am (PT). Capricorn is the “sensible” sign, interested in business and career and connected the 10th house of public image. We may find ourselves combining diplomacy with our business dealings, and we may be extra careful about our appearance when dealing with the public. Take advantage of this time when it comes to your career or work, you may be more noticed by the boss, promotions could be at your door. If you are looking for work right now, you could do well.. it’s all about charm, and Venus has loads of that share… 🙂 When it comes to our personal relationships, some of us may want a commitment from our other half…
  • Mercury, the planet of communications, technology and transportation, moves into the sign of Scorpio on Friday November 5th. Our communications could get a little more passionate during this time. Need a loan or a Mortgage? this could be a good time to apply for one… Financial dealings with partners, both personal and business could also go well… Discuss what you need to and get things sorted now. Our thinking may delve into the underworld, and some of us may be drawn towards esoteric subjects, let your mind wander and wonder…
