  • Moon Phase: 2nd
  • Void-of-Course: February 10 @8:49am (ET) @5:49am (PT) to moon into Leo around noon (ET)
  • Opportunity Period: February 9th 2:57pm (ET) @11:57am (PT) to moon into Leo: “The waxing Moon favors growth, and this OP is good for starting projects that involve home and gardening or anything that interests you” PB

What does it all mean?

  • The moon is happy in the sign of Cancer because the moon rules this sign.
  • Being sympathetic towards the worries of others is easier, we are more empathetic now. 
  • We can be more nurturing when there is a cancer moon
  • Domestic chores and responsibilities may be easier to do now, in fact some of us may be very happy making our home comfortable and safe
  • Cooking may be fun to do too,  so go ahead and try out that new recipe
  • The more emotionally sensitive of us, may take offense, feel slighted or more vulnerable during the Cancer moon… Caution is advised though, check your facts before you “accuse”. 
  • Some of us may feel needy, while others of us are happy to be the needed, helping our loved ones feel secure. Caution is advised for those that “go over board” on the needy thing during this moon period, so be careful if you don’t want to “scare” someone off… 
  • It’s a time for cuddles, caring, good food and just plain old lovings… :) Enjoy..
  • This may also be a good time to do some tidy up and mini reno’s on the house.  
  • This may be a positive time for: Beauty treatments, Brewing beer, Buying antiques, Buying for speculation, Can foods, Collect on debts, Hair cut (for growth) and plant bulbs from seeds.
  • This moon sign will have more of an effect on those who have the following in their charts.
  • Moon in Cancer: (these folk really feel the influence of the moon, emotions may be close to the surface).
  • Ascendant in Cancer:
  • Sun in Cancer:
  • Moon in the 4th house:
  • Aspects to the Moon, or planets in the 4th house
  • To a lessor extent, those who have personal planets in Capricorn

 

 


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-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 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 astrologer and Llewellyn’s Daily Planetary Guide for opportunity periods and dates.

Present Moon Sign/Phase/House

  • Date: August 28 @4:47am (ET) @1:47am (PT)
  • Moon Sign: Cancer
  • Moon Phase: 4th
  • Void-of-Course: August 30 @ 11:24am (ET) @ 8:24am (PT) to moon into Leo a few hours later
  • Opportunity Period: August 28 @4:56 am (ET) @1:56am (PT) to Moon into Leo on the 30th: “Very good opportunity to implement changes and return to projects that were stuck during the Mercury’s retrograde period.” PB

What does it all mean?

  • The moon is happy in the sign of Cancer because the moon rules this sign.
  • Being sympathetic towards the worries of others is easier, we are more empathetic now. 
  • We can be more nurturing when there is a cancer moon
  • Domestic chores and responsibilities may be easier to do now, in fact some of us may be very happy making our home comfortable and safe
  • Cooking may be fun to do now,  so go ahead and try out that new recipe

  • It’s a time for cuddles, caring, and home cooked meals :)

  • This moon sign will have more of an effect on those who have the following in their charts.

  • Ascendant in Cancer:
  • Sun in Cancer:
  • Moon in the 4th house:
  • Aspects to the Moon, or planets in the 4th house
  • To a lessor extent, those who have personal planets in Capricorn

NOTES: 

Wednesday August 28:

  • The Moon makes two aspects,  a Quincunx to Mercury in Aquarius and a sextile to the Sun in Virgo. Quincunx is an aspect between two planets who have absolutely nothing in common… feelings of frustration and obligations and perhaps being pushed towards something you don’t want to do… Co-operation is suggested, and if you have to “cave in” just grit your teeth and tell yourself over and over that this too shall pass… :).
  • The Sextile represents two planets who get along wonderfully, this may appease the challenges from the Quincunx.
  • Venus in Virgo shows an opposition to Neptune in Pisces. Oppositions are exactly what they say, two planets in opposition to each other, each seeing their way as the correct way… this can produce some upheaval, perhaps even a stalemate? However, even though they are opposite, they can compromise if the outcome is important to both. 

Wednesday August 28: Mercury turns direct at 5:14pm (ET) @ 2:14pm (PT).

  • Mercury is currently back in the sign of Leo. He began his retrograde journey in Virgo. Until September 3, Mercury will be moving in slow motion, which means that we still need to be vigilant about our emails and messages, as confusion or misunderstandings may still occur… as can glitches with technology and transportation upsets… However, the good news is the impact will be much less. 

Thursday August 29: Venus enters Libra @9:23am (ET) @6:23am (PT):

  • Venus is the ruler of Libra, so she is very comfortable here…  We can feel more friendly and up to socializing when Venus is about, it’s a feel good time that’s needed.. Which may mean we aren’t into doing too much work, so business meetings might be more about socializing than getting any thing done…
  • Venus rules money, so watch out for a bonus, or other financial rewards… 

Thursday August 29:

  • Venus in Libra Trines Mercury in Aquarius. Trines are planets of the same element, they understand each other and have an ease of communication not seen with other aspects… Lots could get done under this aspect, but will it is the question? Because the trine is so comfy and at ease, it’s very easy to not do anything, as the trine does have the reputation of being a “lazy” aspect… 
  • The Moon shows two aspects, a Trine to Saturn in Pisces and a Square to Chiron in Aries. Planets square to each other are irritated with each, they rub each other the wrong way… but sometimes this can be a good thing as it encourages “competition” and prompts us to do the best that we can… 

Friday August 30th:

  • The moon shows 2 aspects: A sextile to Uranus in Taurus, A Trine to Neptune in Pisces. 
  • The Moon enters the sign of Leo @ 1:09pm (ET) @10:09am (PT).

The Moon and Astrology: How it affects our daily life…Transiting Full Moon in Capricorn…June 2024

Present Moon Sign/Phase/House:

Zodiac signs - Capricorn Stock Vector - 40977557

  • Date: June 21 @9:08pm (ET) @6:08pm (PT) 
  • Moon Sign: Capricorn 
  • Moon Phase: 2nd
  • Void-of-Course: June 23 @11:05pm (ET) @8:05pm (PT) to moon into Aquarius a few minutes later. Capricorn Moon v/c is not one of the 4 “good signs” Try not to make any important decisions or commitments now. 
  • Opportunity Period: None
  • Full Moon June 21

What does it all mean?

  • Capricorn is business, duty and discipline. She is ruled by Saturn, the planet of restrictions. 
  • We may be more motivated in our career or work direction 
  • Dealings with the elderly may be in focus. 
  • Dealings with “authority” types, such as teachers, principles, supervisor’s may be in focus. 
  • 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. 
  • Good time to watch, listen and learn
  • We may find we are looking at our “worth” now, including the salary we get paid. 
  • Our public image may be very important to some folks for the next few day, especially if dealing in work or career situations.  
  • This is a “Father” influence, paternal parental situations may be in focus. 
  •  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
  • Ascendant in Capricorn
  • Midheaven in Capricorn
  • Any aspects to the Moon or Saturn

NOTES: 35568229-country-cottage-in-full-moon-starry-night-landscapeFULL MOON in Capricorn June 21 @9:08pm (ET) @6:08pm (PT). The Full Moon energy will strengthen all that is listed above. As the Moon becomes full, it can be seen as a culmination of a months worth of work/play and knowledge seeking. For creative projects it can signify the completion of such projects.. Projects, situations that aren’t coming to a close now, may experience a bit of a pause, a time to adjust tweak and reflect. Traditionally, it is thought that the full moon energy is not the best energy to begin something new under. Capricorn can be work/career orientated, sometimes to the extent of other relationships being “put on hold”… As the Full Moon represents closure or endings, it may be possible to put an end to situations that are no longer fulfilling… such situations may include, career direction, work preferences, or the changing/ending of relationships, especially those connected to work/career. 

NOTES: 2: Retrograde_Neptune[1]  The Sun moved into the sign of Cancer ♋on Thursday June 20th. Cancer is one of the most nurturing signs of the zodiac and one of the most sensitive… Cancer folks, try not to be too helpful towards your loved ones, sometimes it can get a little overwhelming for them,💙 … Loved ones of Cancer folks, be patient with them, harshness isn’t something they blossom on… 😊Cancer is ruled by the moon, (emotions) she is water (sensitive) connected to the 4th house of domestic bliss and family…When upset or confused, Cancer, like her sign depiction the crab, may become hermit like, trying to escape from the harshness of reality, in these instances all she needs is a big hug and some understanding…  She is the opposite sign to Capricorn, once the full moon energy in Capricorn has passed, Cappies, might encounter a few challenges… patience, empathy and compassion are good guidelines for this month.
