Astrology: Weekend Mixed Messages – Moon in Libra, Then Scorpio

The Friday June 10th Libra Moon starts the weekend off on an artistic, relationship focused, harmony loving note. (Persuade someone to your side? Find a compromise?) This Air sign fosters good feelings, people activities, beauty and creativity. Smile and enjoy it.

On Saturday evening, the Moon will move into intense, moody Scorpio (8:33PM Eastern/ 5:33PM Pacific).  Lasting until Monday, this Water sign will have us “feel” things. Emotions can be dramatic and intense. No patience for the superficial – “real” conversations, drill down explorations, one-on-one connections are demanded. Okay. Going deep has its advantages.

Make the most of the entire weekend.  Squeeze the best out of each Moon placement, regardless of the changes in mood.

It’s all good.

Astrology: A Nurturing, Royal Weekend – Moon in Cancer & Leo 6/3/11

Early on Friday June 3rd, the Moon floats into Cancer  – the Water sign it rules. There will be sensitivity and emotion, but also the possibility of good home cooking. (Not a bad mix.) Downplay any moodiness and let Cancer’s kind, mothering instincts invite those you are fond of to share the healthy and tasty things in the fridge. All this sharingness will last until late Saturday night.

Just in time for Sunday brunch, the Moon takes a regal bow in Fire sign Leo (always a time for theatrics and fun). This sign is ruled by the Sun, so dress up. Take advantage of all those golden “royal” feelings and show off a little.  Be noticed, attention will be paid. You deserve it. Spread around the other Leo good stuff  too, like generosity and creativity – have a good time.

Have a wonderful weekend!

FYI:

Moon into Cancer 6/3/11 – 4:36AM Eastern/ 1:36AM Pacific

Moon into Leo 6/5/11 – 11:03AM Eastern / 8:03AM Pacific

Astrology: Awesome Sun & Moon Power in Gemini June 1, 2011

Not only is there a New Moon, but a Solar Eclipse also happens in Gemini on Wednesday June 1 (Sun entered Gemini on May 20).  With the 2 potent luminaries in this sign of the twins, its duality makes this the best time to do 2 things at once- scrabble and crossword, chat and charm, read and analyze. The versatility and quickness of this Mercury ruled Air Sign is enhanced. Just remember to breathe – everything doesn’t have to happen at warp speed.

Communication can be powerful, so watch yours and everyone else’s. Is there something that needs to be said, or something that you need to hear? Pay attention – information can have muscle. Messages given and received can be truly helpful. Don’t miss out by being too wrapped up in the chatter.

FYI :

a) Solar Eclipse/New Moon – 5:03PM Eastern/ 2:03 PM Pacific – Wednesday June 1.

b) The Moon is considered “new” when both the Sun and Moon are in the same Zodiac sign  – generally a great time for new ideas and implementing new projects.

Astrology: Weekend Moon in Aries and Taurus – Action, Love, Finances!

All day Friday and Sunday, 5/27 and 5/28, we will feel the influence of the Aries Moon.  This aggressive, impatient Fire sign is ruled by the planet Mars – the unofficial patron saint of warriors.  Arian Moons are great for action rather than mental activity, but still a good time to initiate, take charge- just think it thru and go for it. Use the physicality to burn off any anger or frustration that might be lurking.

All day Sunday and Holiday Monday, 5/29 and 5/30, the Taurus Moon turns our thoughts to money – again. But, since this Earth sign is ruled by Venus, getting close to love and luxury will also be in the air. Beautify self and surroundings. And maybe strategize about what needs to be done to feel financially and emotionally secure?

Have a terrific long weekend!

Astrology: Versatile Gemini Sun, 5/21/11* Be busy, Have Fun

The characteristic youthfulness of Gemini has nothing to do with immaturity. It is a curiosity for new places and things, the enjoyment of doing several things at once and the willingness to adapt that keeps the wrinkles, mental and physical, at bay. They almost always look younger than their age. Fun, flirty, festivity loving, focus challenged, flexible, flighty (Full disclosure – I have a Gemini Sun, so I’m really having fun w/this 🙂

Early Saturday morning, May 21, the Sun bounced into this flexible, variety loving Air sign, 5:21AM Eastern / 2:21AM Pacific. Let the multi-tasking begin! Ruled by the communication planet Mercury, we will all feel some of this sign’s influences, regardless of our Zodiac sign. There may be sudden urges to learn something new, meet and greet, read and write, chat too much/gossip too much, wishes to be in two places at once (that “twin” thing). And don’t forget travel, whether it be real or arm chair, the search for greener grass will be enticing.

This can all be such a good time, but also exhausting. Rather than be overwhelmed or scattered, hit the pause button occasionally. Collect your thoughts, watch what you say (Gemini verbal cleverness is legendary, just don’t be verbally careless), re focus, complete tasks that need to be finished, then go on to the next.

Gemini: Gemstone* Pearl or Agate / Color * Yellow

Astrology: Moon in Capricorn & Aquarius – A People Weekend!

The Earthy Capricorn Moon is perfect for wrapping up business projects on Friday and Saturday. You’ll be in a responsible, take charge mode so that tasks get done, work gets delegated. Ruled by serious planet Saturn, use the ambitious, capable energy of this 10th sign of the Zodiac well.

The rhythm changes on Saturday evening, May 21, 10:32Pm Eastern / 7:32Pm Pacific, with the moon’s slide into the caring, group focused, unpredictable, Uranus ruled, Air sign of Aquarius. Volunteer, organize a community, find a cause, share yourself. You can still do some good and have fun.

BTW: On the same day, the Sun bounces into another Air sign, Mercury ruled Gemini. Expect the weekend to be a bit peppier than the previous few days.  Call, tweet, chat up your friends – communication is everything.

Have a marvelous weekend!

Astrology: Powerful Full Moon in Scorpio 5/17/11

Life will be a bit more intense with the Moon in Scorpio and when this luminary is at its “Full” phase in this determined, emotional Water sign, power and passion can go off the charts. The Scorpio Full Moon arrives on Tuesday May 17, 7:09AM Eastern/ 4:09 AM Pacific. Be gentle or you could really rock someone’s world – intentionally or not. (Dial back on some of the drama?)

Scorpio pushes us to focus on money matters that may involve others. Are there any financial issues that need to be cleared or settled– taxes, business ventures? During a Full Moon, gauge what has been accomplished so far and move to finalize, complete tasks in the next few weeks. (Sort of a ”what have I done?” and “what’s next”.)

BTW: about 6 hours later, the Moon shifts and we get to enjoy the upbeat , positive Sagittarius Lunar influence until Thursday May 19, however,  the “Full Moon” energy remains. Use it.

Astrology: Moon in Libra 5/13/11 * Charm Rules the Weekend!

Friday the 13th – What me worry?? Nope – no “triskaidekaphobia” here! It will be a beautiful day filled with charm and beauty. Especially once the Lunar orb arrives in the social, partnership focused Air sign of Libra. This Venus ruled sign urges us to cooperate, find balance, seek out pretty things, partake of good food – just harmony and general deliciousness. Moon in Libra 11:56AM Eastern/ 8:56AM Pacific, May 13.

The mood turns serious and intense with a Scorpio Moon on Sunday May 15, 12:32 PM Eastern/ 9:32AM Pacific. Emotions run deep. No time for the superficial.  You can dig and get to the bottom of any mysteries that are troubling you.

Regardless of what you’re up to, have a great weekend, as always, take advantage and use whatever good forces you can.

BTW: I have found that Friday the 13th is usually lucky for me. I don’t think it had to do with it being a payday or anything?  I expect good things to happen! (Hope I don’t sound too “pollyanna-ish”)

FYI: triskaidekaphobia – fear of the number 13

Astrology: Weekend Moon in Familycentric Cancer 5/6/11

This can be a weekend of emotional mood swings, creativity and/or feeding loved ones as the Moon glides its way into the nurturing Water sign of Cancer on Friday night, May 6, 10:32 PM Eastern / 7:32PM Pacific.

Remaining until Sunday, the Moon, Cancer’s ruler, may also give us some feelings of sensitivity  and vulnerability. Rather than looking for hurt feelings – your own or anyone else’s – be proactive. Cook, set a pretty table. It’s the perfect outlet for all that “looking after others” driven energy.  Decide to make family, friends, and yourself comfortable and happy. You’ll enjoy it.

Have a fulfilling weekend!

(Re: “Familycentric”. Yes, I know. No such word – I made it up.)

Astrology: The Moon is “New” in Taurus 5/2 and 5/3/11

The Taurus New Moon arrives at 11:51PM Pacific on Monday May 2nd and 2:51AM Eastern on Tuesday May 3rd (3 hour time zone difference). A “New Moon” heralds beginnings and is a great time to initiate projects, make changes. The Sun has been in this second sign of the Zodiac since 4/20.  With both luminaries in this practical, determined Venus ruled Earth sign, Taurean themes are highlighted and intensified – romance, beauty, creativity, finances.  Time for a new love, a new project, a new budget?

You can be loving and creative while managing your cash. Re evaluate how you spend and save your money. Financial stability may allow you to still indulge yourself and your loved ones when you want without causing a budgetary crisis. Bull-like resistance to change, classic Taurus stubbornness, may not work now – contemplate a new way of doing things when needed.
