According to Sandy

From Saturday morning, January 12, 2019, until early Monday, the Moon will be in feisty, Aries. Aries is a Fire sign, ruled by the warrior planet Mars and when the Lunar orb transits this 1^st 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.

Aries is great for the physical rather than the cerebral – a good time to initiate, take charge, be first.  Just think actions thru and go for it – do something exciting, do something different. But make no rash moves, curb any “in your face”, “won’t back down” reactions. Power down occasionally so that loved ones don’t feel that they’re in the presence of a bulldozer. (Keep the flame thrower in the closet.) Have fun and be nice.

Have a dynamic weekend!

Look forward to a potentially powerful weekend, 12/8 and 12/9, with the Moon in businesslike, productive Capricorn. (And, Mercury is going Direct again!) It can bring out the “administrator” in us – a perfect time to organize, assign tasks, take charge, move with purpose.  See this as an opportunity to show your stuff.

This Earth sign’s serious, focused energy pushes us to step to the front and give directions. Be nice to those employees, or family members, that you’ve enlist into assisting with any extra duties.  Decide on what you want to get done and stick to it. Don’t forget to say “thank you”.  

Enjoy the weekend while you ambitiously put all in order.

Saturday and Sunday’s Libra Moon, December 1 & 2, 2018, urges us to beautify, socialize, and seek harmony in our surroundings.

The 7^th sign of the Zodiac, ruled by lovely, romantic planet Venus has the “scale of justice” as an Astrology symbol. No surprise that balance and cooperation are important. (Persuade someone over to your point-of-view? Find a compromise?) It could be the start of all kinds of relationship possibilities – personal and business.

Air sign Libra also fosters artistic expression. So, create something, be charming, be social – make it a beautiful weekend!

A Sagittarius Moon, from Friday evening, 9/14, until Sunday afternoon, 9/16, gives us an urge for travel and adventure. Go out, meet some people, take a little risk. Discover. This Jupiter ruled 9^th sign of the Zodiac can spread feelings of optimism and abundance. Large is always best.

When the Lunar orb is in Sagittarius, there are expectations of the universe’s support. Take advantage, work it – but, don’t get too cocky, pay attention to the details.

Think up tempo this weekend. Something with a good beat!

*Sag Moon: 9/14/18 – 8:45 PM EDT / 5:45PM PDT

The Moon is in earthy, analytical Virgo for the weekend. The Lunar orb will also reach “New’ stage this Sunday 9/9/18. (New Moon: both the Sun & Moon are in the same Zodiac sign at the same degree) We will experience a double dose of the efficient work /service / health focused 6^th sign of the Zodiac – use it to organize and de-clutter both mind and surroundings.

Like all “New” Lunar phases, the next 2 weeks are a great time for beginnings. Take advantage of Virgo’s natural “I’ll handle it” approach to take a look at fitness and nutrition. Are there things to be improved – diet, exercise? Don’t spend too much time being critical of yourself. Take care of needed changes now.

*Virgo New Moon:  9/9/19  2:01 PM EDT / 11;01 pm PDT

Beginning 8/18/18, the Moon will be in Jupiter ruled Fire sign Sagittarius both Saturday & Sunday. A Sagittarius Moon will have us getting out and about, seeing people, being optimistic. We can all use the uplifting, genial vibe right now.

Communication planet Mercury, which has been Retrograde since 7/25/18, stops and starts its forward (Direct) motion also on 8/18/18 PDT. It will take a few days to pick up speed and take us out of the “snafu” zone, so continue to pay attention to details.

Have an upbeat, powerful weekend!

It’s a Taurus Moon beginning early Saturday morning July 7, 2018 lasting until early Monday. Feeling beautiful, stubborn and material? It might be the vibrations of this fixed, security focused Earth sign guided by the elegant, luxury loving planet Venus.

There are possibilities of it being a determined weekend tackling those finances (how will you use your money the last 6 months of the year?) or a weekend filled with pleasurable pursuits (sharing decadent chocolate cake, with raspberry filling). Just depends. Taurus speaks to the obstinate bull in us and also our attraction to life’s sensual goodies. Hmmmm, which way to go?

Just remember that not all things are either/or. “AND” can often work very well too.

Make it a delicious, productive weekend!

Early Saturday morning, June 16, 2018, the Moon parades into Leo and stays for the whole weekend. Cool!

This Sun ruled Fire sign, the 5th sign of the Zodiac, wants us to be kind and generous in spirit while indulging in its natural inclination to show up and show off.

Put solar driven joy and confidence all over people, give a performance, have fun with any melodrama that might ensue. (Drama doesn’t always have to be a hissy fit.)

Leo’s love of attention may not always be “fun”, (there may be some pushing and shoving as too many folks try to sparkle at the same time) but it won’t be boring.

Make it a weekend to remember!

The possibilities are endless. We have “Triskaidekaphobia” Day – scary?, bad? troublesome?  (Personally, I think the experience is up to me.) And we have a weekend Moon in rambunctious “I’m #1” Aries – active, aggressive, adventurous (I love alliteration).

On Sunday 4/15/18, the Lunar orb will position next to the Sun = “New”.  A New Moon is considered a great time to start / create / plant something. The universe will support. And, last but not least, Mercury goes into Direct Motion on the same day (It has been Retrograde since 3/22). The Communication planet will take a few days to pick up forward speed, so continue to pay attention to the details.

Life is full. With high energy Fire sign Aries, look before you leap, think before you combust. Fun can surely be had, just use moderation.

Have a super weekend!

• FYI:  “Triskaidekaphobia” – fear of Friday the 13^th. I ignore any freaky Friday thoughts. These are often lucky days for me (pay day?) so that’s what I will anticipate!

On Saturday & Sunday, March 10 / 11, 2018, the Capricorn Moon can move us to take charge, get things accomplished and work hard. This Earth sign’s serious, focused energy pushes us to step to the front and give directions. Being ambitious is not a negative. Like everything else, it depends on how it’s handled.

Have a successfully productive weekend, but don’t forget to smile and say ‘thank you” while telling everyone what to do.
