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!

Bold & Bouncy for the 2012 New Year Weekend – Aries Moon!

Saturday and Sunday, the New Year’s weekend, will have us guided by the feisty influences of an Aries Moon. Aries is a Fire sign, ruled by the warrior planet Mars and when the Moon transits this 1st sign of the Zodiac, we feel braver, more physical, more “up for anything”.  Depending upon what the “anything” is, it could be the best of times or the most precarious of times.

It’s great for the energy and action – you won’t want to sit around for too long. Take advantage of all this need for movement and do something exciting and different.  But make no rash moves, curb any “in your face”, “won’t back down” urges and enjoy celebrating the arrival of 2012 with champagne or sparkling water smiles. It’s all about the bubbles.

Happy New Year! = Love, Peace, Health, Joy, Prosperity

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!

 

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!

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.

Scorpio Sun 10/23/11 – Seductive, Sensual, Sizzling!

The Scorpio Sun can infuse us with passion and focus to get projects accomplished, snare that love interest and drill down thru any mysteries that need to be solved. (Think “determination”) Due to the characteristic sensitivity and emotionality of Water signs, Scorpio’s power will not be served distant and cold – there will be drama, there will be depth. Scorpio heat arrived on Sunday October 23, 2:30PM Eastern / 11:30AM Pacific. 

Scorpio is our 8th sign of the Zodiac. It brings intensity and deep feeling. With its traditional planet ruler Mars, energy and aggression, its co ruler Pluto, power and transformation, any superficial skimming of the surface, in conversation or action, just won’t do. Save the relationship “lite” for another time. Note that this deep and real stuff can lead to all sorts of “feelings” that you may not be prepared to confront. So, pay attention, you may get all wrapped up in the emotion and possible acting out scenarios and then discover that the resulting “overwhelm” does not quite match the situation. Nothing wrong with using an internal pause button to give us a chance to think, rather than just react.

We can accomplish a lot during this time using Scorpio’s power and focus. But also remember that laughter can be used as a balm to stabilize, bring things into perspective and lighten the atmosphere. Save any overflowing angst and/or grudges for another day – it may dissipate as the mood changes.

Scorpio:  Gemstone – Topaz / Power color – Deep, dark shades of red

Astrology: Feisty Full Moon in Aries 10/11/11

The Sun is still in Libra. It is directly opposite and lights the Aries Moon. Rather than the more familiar crescent shape, we see it round and beautiful. On Tuesday, we have a Full Moon in the first Fire sign of the Zodiac. Aries is ruled by aggressive Mars, so all that typical “in your face” energy, when used with your smarts, can really power thru obstacles.

An Aries Moon is perfect for physical activity. Exercise, clean house, demolish the unnecessary. Get it done! However, we can also be a little over the top with all that warrior combustion. Think it through before you do or say anything too drastic.No need to hurt anyone’s feelings.

Work hard, play nice!

Astrology: Moon Transits for the Weekend – Fierce Aries to Steady Taurus

A Snap, crackle and pop Aries Moon will spread its Mars influenced energy until Friday afternoon 7/22.  Make sure you have something physical to do. Keep recklessness to a minimum – only get close enough to the edge to stave off boredom. Reign in any aggressive urges, think before you act (rash impulses can lead to embarrassment?).  

Then late evening, settle down with the practical, determined Taurus Moon for the rest of the weekend. This Earth sign is ruled by Venus, so along with a little stubbornness, there will be romantic and luxe tendencies.  Have a lovely champagne and chocolates time wherever and whenever you can. Be obstinate only when it really matters.

BTW, Taurus is also about how to protect what is valued. You may want to take some time to decide what needs to be done to feel both financially and emotionally secure. Take care of yourself and loved ones.

Have a beautiful weekend!   (Looking forward to a Leo Sun on Friday/Saturday -depending on your time Zone)

Astrology: Weekend – Combustible Aries Moon Switches to Grounded Taurus

If you need to get something done, start and end early on Friday June 24, 2011. The fiery, energetic, aggressive influences of Mars ruled Aries will last until 6:07 PM Eastern/ 3:07 Pacific and then the Moon goes Void of Course until Saturday afternoon. All those “lets go get’em” vibes can lose clarity and focus which can lead to lots of action, but very little finish. Wait, if you can, until the Lunar orb moves into the next sign – Taurus, 4:53PM Eastern/ 1:53PM Pacific on June 25th.

Lasting until Monday morning, the practical, stubborn Taurus Moon can assist in completing what Aries started. This Earth sign is ruled by the lovely Venus – that old saying about catching more with honey, than vinegar (something like that) can be quite effective when finalizing a deal, cajoling a signature, nailing down a commitment. Be gracious while accomplishing. Charm works!

Have a great weekend!

FYI:  “Void of Course” or VC or VOC –     As I’ve mentioned in this space before, “Void of Course” – means that the Moon position creates no aspects (relationships/connections) to the Sun or planets while on its way into the next sign.  A Moon without “aspects”, can be a time of vagueness and doubt.  The consensus among Astrologers is to “not start anything”.  Finishing projects that began before the “VC” can be handled and completed, but avoid initiating during this uncertain time.

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!
