According to Sandy

Beginning Friday September 16, a sensual Taurus Moon will work its magic until the multi tasking Gemini Lunar orb brings a different kind of terrific early in the morning on Sunday September 18.  Earthy, Venus ruled Taurus and Airy, Mercury ruled Gemini should make for a social weekend – tender romance, delicious food, entertaining conversation, high or low brow literary pursuits – not bad! 

For the next few days, take advantage of whatever diverse moods and energy are available in the universe due to the changing Zodiac Moon signs. However, note that although Taurus can be loving and full of charm, it can also be stubborn and determined. While Gemini’s duality (the Twins?) can make us clever and versatile, we can also be a little flighty and distracted – so think before you speak or push “send” on that email or text. Choose to use whichever traits work the best for you.

Regardless of what you get into – have a terrific weekend!

The revolution may be televised, or not – but there will certainly be unusual, unconventional activity this weekend as we encounter a Full Moon in freedom loving, group focused Aquarius on Saturday 8/13/11. A stubborn, cause infused sign, it’s all about “We/Us” rather than “I/Me”.  Before jumping to the front lines, pause and reflect – is the issue real for you, or is the response automatic / knee jerk.  

With a Full Moon, the influence of Aquarian traits can intensify. Uranus, this independent Air sign’s planet ruler, loves change, hates constrictions and thrives on spontaneity, which can be exciting but precarious. Thinking works. You can still volunteer, organize, make a difference, do the “No Justice, No Peace” chant without falling off the edge. (Put that Molotov – whether it be verbal or actual –  back in the basement.)

FYI:  Moon will shift Sunday morning into imaginative, sensitive Pisces- create something. A positive way to contribute.      

Share yourself. Have a super weekend!

(At “Full” phase, the Moon is “waning”, on its way to the 3rd and 4th quarters, therefore, it is a good time to clean up and finish old projects.)

The Friday June 10^th 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.

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.

Friday the 13^th – 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 13^th 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

Friday afternoon February 11 brings us to a Gemini Moon weekend. The options are endless- chatting, reading, socializing, taking a class.

We will have 2 and 1/2 days of this Mercury ruled Air sign’s communication focused vibrations. Good time to learn, teach, share what you know.

However, try to hold off on the gossip, it can come back to bite you. If the temptation for verbal mischief is too great, play scrabble.

Have a fabulous weekend!

Last week, February3rd/4th, the lovely planet Venus, (ruler of Libra and Taurus) gracefully floated into the 10^th sign of the Zodiac – Capricorn.  This Earth sign is noted for its affinity to business – ambition, authority, practicality- ruled by boundary maven planet, Saturn.

Where does loving, romantic, social, creative Venus fit into all this? I don’t know. But, when I let my imagination run, I can envision high finance maneuvers done with a gentle nudge rather than an aggressive corporate hammer.  If your workplace has been akin to a battlefield lately, the planet of love could bring harmony, a willingness to listen to another point of view.  No doubt, greed will still be “good”, but maybe there will be more sharing, a generosity of spirit. Nice possibility?

However, don’t expect miracles, this will only last for a few weeks because on March 1, Venus transits into adventurous Aquarius.  (Hmmm, Venus into the rebellious Air sign? –  interesting, but, that’s a whole other story.)

Wednesday February 2, gives us a friendly, unconventional Aquarius New Moon (9:31PM East / 6:31PM Pacific). For a Moon to be considered “New”, both Sun and Moon are in the same sign, adding power and possibilities to this lunar phase along with intensifying the sign’s traits.

Power and possibilities for this Uranus ruled Air sign usually involves something to do with groups, something revolutionary- or both. Regardless, it will speak to Aquarian independence and love of the different.

A walk on the wild side (with lots of friends?) Remember, moderation works.

On Thursday, January 20, the Sun group hugs its way into adventure loving, independent, “outside the box” Aquarius (5:19AM Eastern / 2:19AM Pacific). Some get confused since the symbol for the 11^th sign of the Zodiac is the “Water Bearer”, but this is definitely an Air sign ruled by unpredictable, unconventional, change loving Uranus. Communication is key.

Aquarians tend to be more intellectual than emotional, with a concern for others that is authentic and matter of fact. A stubborn, people oriented sign, it is about “We/Us” rather than “I/Me”.  They care, they are involved and can be pretty determined to find resolutions to issues that touch them. Regardless of your birthday, we can all tap into those vibrations as the Sun intensifies this sign’s traits.

Taking risks, being on the edge, or ledge, is often part of their way of being in the world – sounds intense, but it’s done with humor. Aquarians are great to have around – which makes great sense.  If you’re going to spend time enrolling people into saving the world with you, you might as well have fun doing it.

The action packed, high energy planet Mars entered Aquarius on January 15, 2011.  As it transits this group focused sign, take advantage of all that power – volunteer, organize a community, find a cause, leave some place better than you found it. Enjoy the interaction.
