How can knowing the Moon's sign help you? - Moon in Aries

How can knowing the Moon's sign help you?

You may have considerably more energy when the Moon is in the same sign as your Sun sign.  You may feel depleted of energy when the Moon is in the opposite sign of your Sun sign.  If possible you can schedule more activities on your high energy days and relax on your low energy days.  You can cultivate awareness by paying attention to your energy levels on different days and correlate them to the Moon sign.

Moon in Aries

For the next two and a half days the Moon will be in Aries.  This is a good time to start a new project, especially one that will have your own unique stamp on it.  This is an energetic Moon transit that may give you the push to make new beginnings. This is the start of the Moon cycle.  What can you do right now to express your individuality?

Saturn in Libra

Saturn will be in Libra for the next two and a half years.  It will retrograde back into Virgo from April 7th to July 21st, 2010, then resume in Libra.  While this transit affects Virgos and Libras directly, Saturn affects everyone, especially where Libra falls in your particular birth chart.  Saturn rewards hard work, discipline, structure, and practical efforts.  For Libras, this can be a time period of struggle and oppression.  It may feel as if you are carrying extra weight on your shoulders and as if you have to work harder just to stay in the same place.  For everyone, during this time period there will be a focus on partnerships, especially close ones.  What area of your life could benefit from some hard work?

Moon in Pisces

The Moon will be in Pisces for the next couple of days or so.  This is a good time to do charitable work, visit people who are shut in or in the hospital, and consider how you can be of service to others.  At this time you might want to work on accepting reality or surrendering to things beyond your control.  Let intuition, dream and fantasy be your guide.  This is not the time for action, but reflection. Can you slow down and appreciate your life today?

Sun in Scorpio - Moon in Capricorn

Sun in Scorpio

For the next 30 days the Sun will be in Scorpio.  Happy Birthday, Scorpios!

Moon in Capricorn

For the next couple of days the Moon is in Capricorn.  This is a good time to focus on professional ambitions, your career or your goals.  How do you deal with authority and leadership?  This may mark a somber and serious time of the month.  Consider that how you act is noticed by and followed by others, much more so than what you say.  Your self-confidence is increased as much by keeping agreements to yourself as to others. 

Moon in Sagittarius

For the next couple of days the Moon is in Sagittarius.  This is a good time to concentrate on making travel plans, higher education, or formulating goals.  You may feel like watching or participating in a sporting event at this time.  This is a fun-loving, high energy time of the month.  Consider what your highest ideals are, and live your life to reflect those.  This is what the Moon in Sagittarius asks you to do.  Are you up for a new challenge?

What is Divination? - Moon in Scorpio

What is Divination?

Divination is also known as Fortune Telling.  It encompasses such well-known methods as Tarot, Astrology, Runes, and I Ching as well as lesser known methods like reading tea leaves, Pendulum work, the Ogham and reading omens (flights of birds, etc.).  Divination can be used to find information about the past or present, or to chart a course for the future.  Divination does not predict a future set in stone, but reveals possible outcomes, based on current circumstances.  We always have free will and not everything is fated.  The different physical methods (cards, coins, runes, etc.) allow the "reader" to use their intuition, knowledge, and any psychic ability to find out trends and insights into the question asked.  If you have any questions about Divination methods feel free to post them.

Moon in Scorpio

For the next couple of days the Moon is in Scorpio.  This is a good time for detective work, to get to the bottom of something, or to reveal a truth.  It is also a good time to talk to someone about resources or money jointly held.  You may experience moodiness, intense emotions or a need to control people, things, or events.  These two days are good for exploring your feelings about transformation, death, endings and sexuality.

New Moon in Libra

The sun and the moon are in the same sign at the time of the New Moon.  Your emotions and intellect are on the same page at this time, therefore it’s an opportunity to set things in motion. The New Moon is a time to start new projects and make new plans.  This is a day to plant seeds for a new you or a new future. The New Moon in Libra is at 10:34pm PDT.  This New Moon is all about relationships, legal matters, beautifying yourself or your surroundings and the fine arts.  This is a great day to start a new artistic project, renew a relationship or make changes in your home.  You will see the results of what you set in motion at the next Full Moon (Nov.2nd, in Taurus).

Moon in Libra--Mars in Leo

Moon in Libra~Today and tomorrow are a good time for relationships, counseling and anything to do with legal matters.  Are you in positive relationships?  This is a good time to consider how you relate to other people as well as the natural world.  What is your relationship with Nature?  This is a good time to talk over any concerns you might have with someone who actually listens to you.

Mars in Leo~Mars will be in Leo for the next 7 and a half months.  Instead of approximately one and a half months it spends in each sign.  Depending upon where Leo falls in your birth chart it can mean different things for you.  Creativity, play, children, risk, and romance will be the themes for everyone for the next seven and a half months.  Let your inner child out to play!
