Weekend Moon in Compassionate, Caring Cancer 3/2/12

The Moon is comfy this weekend as it sits in the Zodiac sign it rules. Watery, moody Cancer gets us ready for family, food and home. Domesticity has its merits, make yourself, and anyone who happens to stop by, comfortable and happy if you can. You’ll enjoy it. 

The Cancer Moon is all about emotions, therefore sensitivity and vulnerability are heightened. Don’t go looking for hurt feelings – yours or anyone else’s. Avoid cultivating and harvesting dark thoughts. They will pass, so there’s no need to self medicate (in this case, over eat).

Have a lovely weekend!

Moon Transits for the Weekend – Fierce Aries to Steady Taurus

A snap, crackle and pop Aries Moon will spread its Mars influenced energy Friday, February 24, 2012.  Make sure you have something physical to do. Keep recklessness to a minimum – only get close enough to the edge to stave off boredom. Play nice. Leave the flamethrower in the closet. (Kind of hard to walk back that type of conflagration no matter how many times you say”Sorry, my bad”.)

Just in time for Sunday brunch, the Moon settles into security minded, comfort loving, determined Taurus. This Earth sign is ruled by sensual Venus, so along with a financial review, there will be romantic and luxe tendencies. Have a Mimosa while counting your cash. Take care of yourself and loved ones.

Have a beautiful weekend!

Its Pisces Time!

Sun moves into the 12th and final sign of the Zodiac – imaginative, impressionable, intuitive Pisces. Since it is a Water sign ruled by Neptune, pay attention to your dreams (keep pen and paper next to your bed to take notes 🙂 ) but stay grounded and connected. Over sensitivity to adverse energy or vibrations is no excuse to drift or try to escape. Be steady, be productive, be creative – which can be great for anyone associated with the arts. Ideas for new music, new choreography, new writing might bubble to the surface faster than usual. Pisces Sun on February 18, 2012, 10:18pm Pacific / February 19, 2012, 1:18am Eastern.

As always, those most affected have their Sun and/or Ascendant in Pisces. Note that planets transiting a sign add to the mix. With its ruler Neptune visiting until 2026, traits are intensified and we will probably all have our encounters with the mystical outer planet somewhere in your chart. Neptune has a reputation for clouding thinking, erasing  boundaries, and fostering escapism, but, all these things that make life unsettled can also enhance creativity and imagination. The subconscious is a treasure trove of ideas.

Mercury, the planet of Communication, entered Pisces on 2/14/12 and will exit finally on 4/16/12. The influence on writing and speaking can show up in different ways due to heightening sensitivity, etc. Regardless, strive for clarity. Being sloppy, careless or vague can create such a mess. Also, during this time period, Mercury has its 1st Retrograde of 2012 –   3/12 – 4/4.  (It begins the backward trek in Aries and winds up back in Pisces again.) If contracts need to be signed, and you can’t delay for 3 weeks, clear your head, review documents carefully, take off any rose colored glasses that might have found its way to your nose.

Tap into all that compassion and kindness that Pisces is known for and spread it among family and friends. Sympathy and empathy abounds – offer assistance where it is genuinely needed.

 

*Pisces = Gemstone: Amethyst / Power color: Purple / Planet ruler: Neptune

Varied Weekend Moon: Bossy Cap / Irreverent Aquarius

The Moon visits the ambitious, status concerned Earth sign of Capricorn on Friday February 17, 2012.  Ruled by Saturn, a Capricorn Moon can be a time of business focused, deliberate movement. It brings out the “administrator” in us – a perfect time to organize, assign tasks, give directions, take charge, move with purpose.

Early Sunday we go from duty bound stoic to friendly rebel – the unpredictable, freedom loving Air sign Aquarius. While under this Uranus ruled sign’s influence, we are in the mood to do something inventive and spontaneous usually with a group. Rally the troops for a favorite cause – they will bow to your command -maybe not quite, but they should be more agreeable than usual. Sort of like those fish (pike?) that don’t wait to be caught, they just jump into your boat. I personally feel that people want to be useful, to make a difference. This is the perfect weekend to herd  a team in the right direction.

Earthy Capricorn and Airy Aquarius – make it work. Have a terrific weekend!

Weekend Moon: Libra Charm, Scorpio Focus

The Moon will do a social dance into the gracious Air sign Libra early Friday afternoon February 10, 2012.  The weekend will be all about partnerships/ relationships because the 7th sign of the Zodiac fosters not only beauty and creativity, due to the influence of its planet ruler Venus, but also seeks a natural balance in the universe – harmony with people and harmony in the home. There is a lot to be said for using beautiful things and peaceful surroundings to lift spirits and ease the settling of any disputes. Charm is NOT a weakness.

By Sunday afternoon the mood changes as the Moon slides into serious, sensual, secretive, stubborn, Scorpio (I ran out of “s”s). Ruled by powerful Pluto, this Water sign’s focus and determination can lead to uncovering mysteries, peeling back layers, etc. Deep.

Have a wonderful weekend!

Lights! Camera! Action! – Full Moon in Leo

Get ready for your close up on Tuesday February 7, 2012. Full Moon’s intensify the traits of the sign it is visiting and with Sun ruled Leo, (its Zodiac symbol is the Lion /King of the jungle) we feel generous, creative and melodramatic (great for actors) – theatrics can rule, just remember that it’s not all about you.

Instead, wear some regal purple, aim for lots of generosity of spirit and fun mixed in with a little bit of showing off. Fire sign Leo wants us to be active, upbeat, and magnanimous, as we use this “Full” Lunar phase to wrap things up and finish projects begun at the time of the New Moon. This fortunate time to complete will last for the next few days.

Cancer Moon Weekend – Gather Together!

Late Friday evening, February 3, 2012, the moon floats into the Water sign it rules – Cancer. The Moon is very comfortable and happy in this emotional, familycentric 4th sign of the Zodiac and will remain there until Monday morning. It can put us in the perfect mood for creating a super Super Bowl Party (or any alternative gathering of loved ones that you prefer). A feast for family and friends = fun.

Being welcoming and kind, making visitors comfortable, sharing delicious things, taking care of everyone will be important while under the influence of a Cancer Moon. This can be a loving, nurturing time. Surround yourself and enjoy.

Have a great weekend. Good eats!

Active, Aggressive, Athletic, Assertive Aries Moon Weekend, OK!

The Moon in Aries Friday January 27, 2012 opens up the possibility of an upbeat, enthusiastic weekend. The Moon will be in Mars ruled Fire sign Aries until Sunday evening. Capture and use all that heated energy to make changes, to start/create anything. Pushy power abounds.

Have fun with all the physicality and “don’t mess with me”vibes, just realize when to dial back on the bombast. Think. Don’t make any radical moves or decisions, turn down the volume and put off the vicious thumb wrestling contest for another day.

But, definitely have a good time and bring others along with you on the joy ride.

Have a vibrant weekend!

Work or Revolt? Weekend Moon in Capricorn, then Aquarius

Most of the weekend belongs to an ambitious, focused Capricorn Moon. Ruled by Saturn, the planet of boundaries and life lessons (not always fun, but can be maturing) use this sign’s serious, organized and authoritarian energy to  accomplish, complete and be in charge. On Sunday night, January 22, 2012,there will be change when the Moon moves into the next sign, friendly, unpredictable Aquarius.

The Sun is already in the 11th sign of the Zodiac and when the Moon is visiting too, the Moon is called “New”. The 10 or so days following a New Moon is a great time to start a project, begin a class, create a masterpiece, etc. Power and possibilities for this Uranus ruled Air sign usually involves something to do with groups, or, something revolutionary- quite often both at the same time. Regardless, it will speak to Aquarian independence and love of the different.

Have a terrific weekend!

FYI: New Moon in Aquarius arrives on Sunday, 11:39PM January 22, 2012 (PAC) / 2:39AM January 23, 2012 (EST).
