Weekend Moon in Pisces, Then Aries – Sweet, Then Tart!

On Friday, 12/2, we will be experiencing the effects of a sensitive, creative Pisces Moon. Don’t let “feelings” overwhelm you or lose your grip on the real. Be as caring and compassionate as you wish, just don’t be taken in by anything questionable. Pisces, 12th sign of the Zodiac, is ruled by the dreamy planet Neptune. While the Moon is in this Water sign, there may be a drift toward escape to other worlds, but hold on, stay grounded – the mood, along with the Lunar orb’s sign, will change on Saturday evening.

The Moon marches into the physical, aggressive sign of Aries. (Think “Action figure”.)  This Fire sign is ruled by the planet Mars – the unofficial patron saint of warriors. Even though Arian Moon days are best for action rather than mental endeavors, they’re still a good time to initiate, take charge. However, remember to power down occasionally so that loved ones don’t feel that they are in the presence of a verbal buzz saw, but by all means, take advantage of the energy.

Have a marvelous weekend!

Sagittarius – Sun, New Moon, Eclipse, Venus, Mercury: Wow Weekend!

Friday November 25, 2011, with both a New Moon and a Solar Eclipse in Sagittarius, should be a fun day for a retail extravaganza. Not that you should have one, just that the spirit and energy will be there to support you. Actually, a “New Moon”–is a great time to launch, create, kick-off, start something. Power is amped up with Mercury, communication planet, Venus, the planet of love / beauty, and both luminaries all in perky Sag, can lead to lucky, optimistic times – find the greatest bargain, the perfect gift, the bestest tree, manifest a dream. Or, you can hang out with family and friends – socializing works.

From Saturday afternoon thru Monday, the mood changes as the Moon shifts to serious Earth sign Capricorn. Did you go overboard? Eat too much, spend too much?  Spoke too many “truths” at the dinner table? Don’t waste too much time on regrets. Since this Saturn ruled 10th sign of the Zodiac needs to be businesslike and productive, focus and decide on what needs to be done – returns? apologies? You can handle it.

But, regardless of whatever out of body behavior may have been exhibited the past few days, don’t mope. Loosen up, stop grinding your teeth, the world is not ending (at least not today).

Have a super weekend!

FYI: New Moon and Solar Eclipse on 11/24, Thursday 10:10PM Eastern –  11/25 Friday 1:10AM Pacific

The Moon is “New” when it’s in the same sign as the Sun (Sun entered Sagittarius on 11/22/11).  Even though the Moon will go on to another sign (Capricorn on Saturday), the supportive “New” energy lasts for approximately 10 days.

Final Mercury Retrograde of 2011 – Yay!

This Wednesday, the last Mercury Retrograde of the year occurs in the jolly Fire sign of Sagittarius. The Sun already bounced into this 9th sign of the Zodiac on 11/22, so all its traits of learning, travel, education, adventure and risk taking are pushed to the forefront. Mercury is all about communication, transportation, movement, how we deal with variety and since this planet’s “backward” motion can often cause confusion, misunderstandings, snafus – my suggestion is check all lists, big plans and directions twice.  

T’is the season for all kinds of festivities and Mercury is appropriately in the sign ruled by big Jupiter, the planet of “more”.  Everything sparkles, spirits are high – this can be great fun. But, with all the excitement, all the busyness, have you overlooked any details? Be organized. Make sure those toys have the batteries needed. If you make promises to be with people, write them down and show up. Travel plans?  – don’t book a flight to Paris, Texas when you actually made plans to meet friends at the Eiffel Tower. (This is my favorite and often used example of  an “oops” vacation). Misreading a bank balance can fog the reality into not realizing that 10 bottles of champagne is more financially manageable than a case.

As always, where Mercury appears in the individual chart determines what part of life is most affected by the planet’s Retrograde motion, but regardless, being careful and mindful of pitfalls is a good thing for all of us.

Try to delay major plans for a few weeks. Yes, life doesn’t stop. If you have something pressing to take care of, handle it – but don’t rush. Examine it before your sign it.

FYI: Mercury Retrograde starts November 23, 2011 (11:21 PM Pacific) / November 24, 2011 (2:21 AM Eastern) = Ends the evening of December 13, 2011 . The veil should lift, the confusion abates and we can go forward with purpose on all that we have been rethinking , renegotiating and re evaluating.

Next Mercury Retrograde,  March 12, 2012

Glorious Sun into Joyous Sagittarius 11/22/11

Okay, let the fun times begin!  When the Sun is in fiery Sagittarius, we can all enjoy this sign’s feelings of luck, optimism and adventure. Ruled by expansive Jupiter, the king of positive thinking, we just don’t have enough space for all the goodies anticipated when there is a Sag Sun. That’s just the way it is. Everything is “BIG”- ideas, actions, themes. There is this underlying sense of “can’t miss”, the million dollar deal is done, it’s all great! Remember to pause occasionally and look over the landscape – not only to enjoy the view, but also to realize that some of those “sure things” are not and will cost ya.  Aim for controlled excess.

So, put yourself among people, have a travel adventure, teach or take a class, revel in the abundance of the season. Be happy, be an “of course” for excellent results, reach for the good things, discover something new, pay attention to your intuition (Sagittarians love a good laugh but they are also deep and love to ponder the universe) but, just be aware of the edges – over confidence can send you too far. It can be expensive and/or embarrassing. Have a good time – but, don’t overdo.

Sun moves into Sagittarius, the 9th sign of the Zodiac, on Tuesday November 22, 2011 at 8:08AM Pacific / 11:08AM Eastern.

*Sagittarius (Nov 22-Dec 21): Gem = Citrine, Sodalite / Power color: Lilac, Mauve

Virgo Moon Weekend 11/18/11– About Those Details…

From Friday afternoon, November 18, until Sunday afternoon, we are under the influence of the earthy, discriminating, detail oriented, practical Virgo Moon. Ruled by analytical Mercury, you may notice an inclination to critically focus on details, no matter how small – which might be an irritant to others, but things will get done! (Remember to delegate.) Just watch what you say and how you say it. No need to sear anyone with your critiques.

There are increased feelings of responsibility, duty and service. Catalogue the CD collection, clean closets , write those “to do” lists for next week, re caulk the bath tub, volunteer – work hard, be industrious, offer assistance.

Generally considered a mild mannered sign, Virgo will be spiced up for the next 6 months as the warrior planet Mars settles in for a visit and stir things up. Be picky if you must, but it is the weekend – have some fun.  

Enjoy!

Busy Weekend Gemini Moon 11/11/11

Friday afternoon, November 11, 2011 gives us a weekend of this Mercury ruled Air sign’s communication focused energy. As an example of its dual nature,  a set of twins is the usual symbol for Gemini.  So, we can interpret that as a chance to manage two things at once successfully – scrabble and crossword, chat and charm, read and write. Just remember to breathe – everything doesn’t have to happen at warp speed.

Try to hold off on the gossip, it can come back to bite you. If the temptation for verbal mischief is too great, see a movie, take a class. Instead of snark, be clever, be smart, be entertaining – with a Gemini Moon, the options are endless !

11/11/11 is Veterans Day. Remember to thank them all.

Full Moon in Affectionate Taurus 11/10/11

Feeling beautiful, stubborn and material? It might be the vibrations of the upcoming Taurus Full Moon on Thursday 11/10/11. This is a fixed, finance focused Earth sign guided by the elegant, luxury loving planet Venus.

Whatever vibes are out there can all be put to good use. As always with a “Full”, its a good time to finish what you’ve started. With the grounded Taurus influence, it makes sense to complete any money dealings and/or improvements to surroundings – beauty, comfort and safety.

What do you value most? What do you need to do to have that in your life, always?

Astrology: Weekend Moon in Pisces & Aries 11/4/11

On Friday November 4th, the Moon is in the emotional water sign of Pisces, meaning – dreamy, fuzzy, sensitive.  Focus may be difficult. Don’t take on the troubles of the world. Good news for artists – great time for creativity and imagination. 

The Moon then jumps into fiery “let’s get physical” Aries on Sunday, meaning – lots of activity, lots of energy.  Dial back on impetuousness,(if you can), make no rash moves, but do something. You’ll be up for it.

Regardless of which way you choose to go this weekend, enjoy it!

FYI: Standard Time returns 2AM Sunday morning! Turn clocks back an hour (Fall back)

Moon in Sag and Cap for the Weekend 10/28/11

Perk up on Friday morning, 10/28/11 with the Sagittarius Moon. Perfect timing – we will bounce off that Fire sign energy until Sunday and be in the mood to find that perfect Halloween costume, take a short trip, spread a little cheer and have a deep and philosophical conversation about something (an often forgotten Sag trait). Be ready for it all.

On Sunday, the Capricorn Moon turns our thoughts to our ambitions, status, financial stability, etc. This business focused Earth sign wants us to do just that – take care of business. We can do that. OK!

Get your “Boo” on and have a great weekend!

Astrology: Intense Scorpio New Moon October 26, 2011

The Sun moved into Water sign Scorpio on Sunday 10/23/11 and on Wednesday, 10/26/11, it will be the New Moon’s turn. Since both the Sun and the Lunar orb are in the same sign, (which is what makes the Moon phase “New”), all the emotional, sensitive vibes of this 8th sign of the Zodiac are powered up, intensified – think feelings, changing moods.

“New” is great for beginnings, initiating plans, starting something. “New” in Scorpio, ruled by transformational planet Pluto, gives us the depth to be focused, persistent and determined. This is serious. (Sort of a “take no prisoners” way of being?)

For the next few days, take advantage of the added energy, go for the goal – just remember to smile sometimes.
