Tarot readings and astrology for you: http://robinszodiaczone.blogspot.com/p/robins-zodiac-and-tarot-readings.html

Monday

The Moon is in Taurus, a sign grounded in reality and security. Taking tangible steps to increase prosperity, to be more healthy and to be more knowledgeable is forecast as Jupiter and the Moon meet. There are other aspects that can both help and detract from those things, but staying persistent and goal oriented is the best way to expend energy today. Glitches in planning or situations that run out to be less than honest or not as good as expected may appear. Taurus Moon helps us stay grounded in what we need to do regardless. Tonight the Moon and Pluto work together and we may uncover or disclose information that was previously not public or obvious. The Moon and Sun square and that manifests as stubbornness. The fixed sign energy can be productive if you need to stay your course and not give in. Wear green.

Tuesday

The Moon is in Taurus in harmony with Venus in Pisces and Mars in Virgo. Working on relationships is the primary focus today. We'll be inclined to look for the best possible solutions for everyone involved. It's a good day to find agreement where things have been out of sync. In love, things only improve, and reconciliations are well timed. Taurus Moon time can be very romantic and Venus and Mars enhance that for today or tonight. In business, keep feelings and relationships in mind. Taurus Moon is a time to keep long term implications in mind as we act. Wear pink.

Wednesday

The Moon moves from Taurus to Gemini at 2:14 pm. The Moon square to Neptune has us working through creative processes and perhaps trying different approaches before we get the result we want. Neptune can also affect the way things appear and today dualities may be evident. Look at both sides with the Moon in Gemini this afternoon and tonight. Remain indecisive if you feel uncertain. Trust your instincts about people and things that have a shiny gloss or seem to give very different or conflicting messages. Tonight Venus in Pisces opposes Mars in Virgo, and though opposites may attract, some of us will find ourselves on different sides and unable to agree. Go for temporary agreements or truces. Wear blue.

Thursday

The Gemini Moon has us considering two sides of the story, two equally appealing options, and quite possibly a multitude of ideas. The Moon works with Gemini's planet, Mercury, in Aquarius, and innovative, forward thinking options should be priorities. Communication is the key, so read, respond, and keep in contact with changeable situations and social or business contacts. The Moon and Sun boost confidence and may make us more decisive tonight. It's a good night for business, socializing or studies. Tap into intelligence and sharp wit. Make things happen today by reaching out. Wear yellow.

Friday

The Moon is in Gemini square to Mars in Virgo and Venus in Pisces. Though we need to be adaptable and easygoing, it may not be so easy! Squares represent challenges and in the mtuable signs the Moon and planets can be changeable to the point of frustration! Try not to flip flop on decisions. Pick something and stick with it! In relationships we're prone to debate and disagreement, especially Gemini, Virgo, Pisces and Sagittarius. For those same signs, negotiation is needed around home, family and potential career changes. The Moon and Saturn provide structure tonight. Decide what works and what's fair. It's a social night but have a game plan ahead of time. Wear black.

Saturday

The Full Moon warmup begins for Tuesday when the Moon will be in Leo. The Cancer Moon engages with Uranus in Aries, Jupiter in Taurus and Pluto in Capricorn for a variety of influences and pulls. Cancer Moon reacts to circumstances and is vulnerable to mood shifts. Today is likely to be up and down. The pull to home and comfortable situations is strong. We'll want to stay in our element. The Moon opposing Pluto often brings up things we'd rather not deal with, yet Jupiter in Taurus aims for a productive solution oriented approach. Do something about problems rather than complaining! A certain amount of grumbling is to be expected today. Selfishness will cause aggravation. Wear light blue.

Sunday

The Moon is in Cancer! Who's the home team on game day? Home and family events are priority. Surround yourself with the ones you care about most. Energy can be sluggish or emotional under Cancer Moon especially with the Full Moon approaching. Take care of those little symptoms that could become something bigger without the right remedies. That includes rest, and some is in order today. Whatever you're doing, take breaks and take good care of yourself. The Moon is in harmony with physical Mars in Virgo this evening. Versatile thinking and strategizing are the way to go. Channel strong feelings into productive efforts and tasks. Accomplish instead of moping. Full Moon pressures are in action. Wear white.

Weekly January 23rd

2012-01-20T09:32:00.003-05:00

Monday

It's a New Moon in Aquarius, a sign that looks toward the future with an eye for design and a head for new technology. The conditions are right for breakthroughs! Scientific or personal discoveries are favored! This is also the sign of community so it's a good time to join a group. Experiment with something and see if it's for you. All kinds of changes and new directions are favored. It's Chinese New Year, and year of the dragon begins. Have a courageous, open minded attitude! Mercury and Mars are in harmony in earth signs encouraging us to be productive and flexible as we work and problem solve. Trouble shoot something with a Virgo or Capricorn who may know just what to do! Mars starts a retrograde tonight in Virgo and we may need to slow down a bit and pay attention to health. Don't over exert yourself tonight. Wear white.

Tuesday

The Moon moves freely through Aquarius. If you do experience some kind of setback it may be Mars retrograde at work now, especially if you're an Aries, a Virgo, or you work in the health, animal, or service industries. Mars encourages us to rework things this winter and perhaps relaunch something or delay it until this spring. Building plans may also be affected. The Aquarius Moon prompts us to collaborate, gather in groups, especially around causes, and to plan big events. It's also the sign of friendship and friends can be a source of advice and support today. Stay with Aquarius logic over feelings that may get in the way or cloud judgment. Tonight is good for meetings and group projects. Share ideas and brainstorm. Wear blue.

Wednesday

The Moon moves to Pisces at 4:11 am EST after meeting Neptune. This can add to the feeling of illusion. It might be good to question anything you feel uncertain about. However, overall it's an optimistic day and people will tend to be understanding and warm as the Moon aligns with Jupiter in Taurus. There's a "feel good" aspect where we'll want to create comfort and security for people around us from family to co-workers. That doesn't mean giving up on productivity though. it's like the boss that praises you but still tells you what needs to be accomplished. Act accordingly. Tonight the Moon and Pluto make it likely sensitive issues will come up for discussion. Ease into those talks or situations gently. Wear green.

Thursday

The Moon meets Venus in Pisces and is opposite Mars in Virgo. Those are the relationship planets, male and female, yin and yang, and so love, attraction, and even opposition with regard to relationships are priority today. While it's a good day for reconciling, you may have things to hash out and decide first. Negotiating, being understanding and being flexible are all possible with the actions in mutable signs, willing to shift and change. Ask for adjustments that need to be made. If you're breaking up, it can done more peacefully and with compassion on a day like this. We're at emotional high tide with Pisces Moon yet Mars is a problem solver in Virgo and Venus provides a softer landing. It's all Pisces today so if you're not in the throes of relationship happening, perhaps you'll want to be charitable, adopt a pet, help out someone in need or create art. Try not to make today about your sob story. Everyone has their story, but not everyone will cry about it. The Moon is void at 11:53 pm EST. Wear light blue.

Friday

There's a long void of course Moon in progress. Meanwhile Mercury takes over, moving to Aquarius for a very logical outlook in the weeks ahead. Detach a bit from an emotional situation and take a clear look. Insight is possible today, but be careful about decisions while the Moon is void until 1:28 pm. Mercury squares Saturn in Libra before changing signs and we need to take our actions and routes very seriously. Get wise advice, consult the "elders", and move slowly and thoughtfully. The Aries Moon from 1:28 pm is a call to action and by then you might feel you have the info you need and the right conditions for a bold move. Still, ask questions even of yourself before you take the giant step! News will develop as the afternoon goes on and our urges will likely be strong and forceful. Tonight is potentially a wild night of unexpected events. Keep your head up and watch out for a friend too. Today's color is red.

Saturday

The Moon is in Aries, a sign of action. Mercury the planet of communication engages with Uranus in Aries and Jupiter in Taurus. Dealing with challenges and the unanticipated is part of the day. Though the Moon is in a fire sign, earth sign approaches like practical, down to earth conversations and workable solutions are the best plan. One challenge is not to over react Mercury is newly in Aquarius the sign of last Monday's New Moon, therefore taking different approaches and thinking originally is favored. Aries Moon time is good for healthy competition, sports and games. Tonight we need to act in the moment and perhaps think on our feet. Wear yellow.

Sunday

The Aries Moon is full of activity. Today may be unfocused yet require multitasking. It's another day for initiating new things. Get fired up about what's important to you! Aries is the "me" sign so we may need to take care of ourselves first. The 2nd quarter Moon is tomorrow night so it's good to feel we're making progress with something. The tendencies to be assertive and push forth an agenda appear more strongly today. Wear maroon.

Weekly January 16th

2012-01-13T09:18:00.001-05:00

Monday

The 4th quarter Moon is in Libra. This time in the lunar cycle is about revisiting, rethinking, and preparing for new courses of action. We'll be weighing pros and cons and our options early this week. This morning is very much about justice, balance and moderation as the Moon meets Saturn. If we've gone to extremes or in imbalanced situations, we may notice the price we're paying. Take steps to get things back in line and more reasonable. The Moon is void of course from 10:29 to 11:33 am EST and then in Scorpio. Jupiter in Taurus urges a constructive approach, and opposite the Moon highlights places where negotiation is needed. Find middle ground. The Scorpio Moon is also about respecting privacy and not pushing others too hard. Tonight the Moon aligns with loving, forgiving Venus in Pisces and we're more willing to be open to reestablishing relationships or showing more compassion and understanding. It's also a nice night for lovers, especially Pisces, Virgo, Scorpio, and secondarily Taurus and Cancer. Wear maroon.

Tuesday

The Scorpio Moon works with Pluto, ruler of Scorpio, and with Mercury. Both planets are in ambitious and organized Capricorn. Seek answers and information today. Solutions may be easier to come by. Mysteries may be more easily solved. Ask the right questions and be persistent. The urge to put things in some kind of order kicks in and you may find yourself alphabetizing, cleaning up the desktop, or cleaning a cabinet, and finding things you expected were lost. Today you might want to focus on career, school, or whatever part of your life requires serious attitude and persistence. Scorpio is a tenacious sign that doesn't give up easily. Get back to something you lost track of but really should follow up on. There's also a spiritual, metaphysical, intuitive nature to be investigated or dive into. Meditation might balance out those strong work drives. The conditions are right for best efforts and gut instincts. Wear black.

Wednesday

The Moon starts out in Scorpio and our best work and decisions may happen in the early hours. Activate and motivate as the Moon works with Mars and the Sun. This is meant to be a day of accomplishment! Press for answers, information or the resources you need. Show ambition and persistence. The tone changes around 1:31 pm when the Moon moves void of course before transitioning to Sagittarius, a sign more likely to have short attention span or just blow off what seems too difficult especially as the Moon squares Neptune and Uranus throws in a curve ball from Aries. We're more likely to get off track or onto another subject as the day and night go on. Make moves you can follow through with and get other people's word too before that happens. Later in the day adventures and new topics or experiences win our attention. Tonight we want independence. Pisces, Sagittarius, Gemini, and Virgo have things to work on or work out in relationships and at home. Wear purple.

Thursday

The Moon is in Sagittarius, a sign with an independent streak, an explorer of places and ideas. It's a good day for learning and for investigating travel or study options. Open your mind. A talk with someone who has different ideas or experiences could be enlightening or spark your next adventure. The Capricorn Sun squares Saturn in Libra reminding us of obligations and traditions or rituals we're expected to carry on with. The elders in our lives are likely to have something to say and demand our attention. Seek wise advice. Don't write off what Grandma used to say, for example. Try to do the mature or fair thing. Take the high road today. Avoid being too fixed on one agenda. Wear green.

Friday

The Moon is in Sagittarius until 5:40 pm. It's an active day and a good time for field trips or more distant journeys. Sagittarius Moon time is also designed to open our perspective through reading and discussing. Pick up a good book if travel's not on your agenda. Venus and Pluto have relationships facing problems with a positive attitude. Solve problems together today. Most of the aspects between planets are agreeable which helps us find agreement too! The Sun shifts to Aquarius at 11:10 am EST and Aquarius birthdays begin. Today is good for learning and planning. The Capricorn Moon from 5:40 pm on is less reliable than usual squaring Uranus and we need to change plans or be spontaneous, even if we don't want to! The Moon and Jupiter in earth signs give tonight optimism and a can do attitude too. Wear blue.

Saturday

The Capricorn Moon meets Pluto and is in harmony with Venus today. Realistic approaches to matters of love, fairness and responsibilities are the way to go. Try not to avoid personal problems. Face up to them and make known your intent to make things more balanced or otherwise right. The Sun and Uranus in Aquarius and Aries provide the vision and in some cases brilliant ideas! A progressive attitude works best and holding on or being too sentimental could hold you back. Act intentionally, seriously, and think out of the box! Remember doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results is unlikely to work! Go for a new solution. Social plans are more low key than amped up. Wear black.

Sunday

The Capricorn Moon meets Mercury and it's another problem solving, solution oriented day. Repair, organize, and get life in order! It's a time of planning too. Commmunicate, try to agree on dates and form other practical plans. The Moon aligned with Mars in Virgo should help with flexibility and also puts us in the mood to move! Play games and get into physical activities even if they involve strenuous work! The Moon squares Saturn shortly before moving into Aquarius at 9:53 pm. Think logically and go over pros and cons of decisions that need to be made. Logic over emotion today. Wear turquoise.

The Leo Moon harmonizes with Uranus in Aries for action! There's a pressing nature to information and a strong need to act under this Leo Moon. Full Moon developments continue and may force decisions, but the Leo Moon is optimistic. It's best to think things out and not go with Aries tendency to just do it. Aim for long term solutions and decisions since the Moon is in a fixed sign implying lasting effects and impressions. This is a career Moon for Scorpio and perhaps Cancer, and for Aquarius the Leo Moon rules relationship. This Moon sign is creative and relates to children, recreation, and performances. Show your best side. Tap into your talents, reestablish a hobby, and do something active and fun as part of the day or night! Wear purple.

This is the sign of youth! Find what makes you feel happy and satisfied. Leo rules the back and heart. Do something good for your health, particularly the spine and circulatory system! In other words, work in some cardio and exercises that improve flexibility! Tonight is social since Leo is an extrovert in the zodiac.

It's not a good day to spend alot or make a significatn decisions, but it is a fine day for fun, relaxation and routine. The Virgo Moon from 4:44 pm on is in harmony with planets in other earth signs, so we'll tend to be practical, grounded in what we need to or want to do, and move through the evening hours with ease. The Sun and Mars, also in earth signs, put us in the mood to move, and physical activities are favored. Simple pleasures rule tonight. Wear brown.

Friday

The Moon is in Virgo, Venus is at work, and we have an important meeting in the sign Capricorn today! Virgo Moon is health conscious and Capricorn rules teeth and bones, so take care of dental or other health related appointments. A physical work out is a great addition to routine with this energy is earth signs! Mercury and Pluto meet in Capricorn for both old and new business, getting dates on the calendar, and dealing with matters of privacy, business, and other agendas. Meet a challenge ambitiously, express ideas or relay possible solutions to problems, break news, and try not to be afraid to face things that were on the backburner. Two other conjunctions occur too, as Venus and Neptune in Aquarius create romance and favor Leo, Libra and Aquarius in relationships. Don't be surprised if you're one of those signs and feel like this is the best it ever gets in your love life! Then do something to enhance or prolong that effect. Aquarius, this is Venu's last night in your sign for a good long while. Do something enjoyable and use the power of attraction! In Virgo, the Moon and Mars meet making us want to take very solid action and solve problems!

Pisces, this is your tune to attract what you want, fall in love or improve the relationship you're in, and even make positive changes in your appearance or image. The Moon is in Libra from 8:28 am EST through most of Monday morning. Issues of justice come up and playing fair is important! Two's a party and three's a crowd this weekend. We'll want one on one time more than anything whether that's with a best friend, lover, or family member. Partner collaborations on work are also favored. The Moon and Uranus opposite can throw us off balance. Keeping strong reactions to a minimum will help. Tonight Venus and Jupiter do good work and have a pleasant, positive influence on both relationships and learning opportunties. It's a night where you maybe CAN get what you need according to those two planets in Pisces and Taurus. Wear pink.

Sunday

The Libra Moon may prompt us to do more business than you would expect on a usual Sunday. The Moon and Mercury form a square and we'll be weighing pros and cons, trying to make joint decisions, rescheduling, trying to remove obstacles and negotiating for what we want!

Tonight the Moon is just about square to the Capricorn Sun and we aim for progress despite obstacles or hurdles. State your case. Wear light blue.

Compatibility charts show how you and your boyfriend, girlfriend, husband, wife, or love affair partner connect! The planets on your side and the ones that may provide challenges, the signs of the Sun and Moon and other aspects influence your attraction and interaction! Valentine's Day is a cool time to give or share your compatibility chart, but feel free to email me any time to see how soon I can whip one up for you and your lover or for a wedding, anniversary or engagement gift. Here's an excerpt from a real one. The names have, of course, been changed.

Mars signs influence chemistry and sexual energy between partners. Amanda’s Mars is in Sagittarius and Paul’s is in Gemini, opposite signs. This is a mind connection! You need to be able to talk and explore a variety of subjects and experiences together. Sagittarius is an adventurous sign for the planet of action, but is also the sign of higher learning. Gemini is the sign of brain activity and Mars influences communication in the sign of the twins. The mental connection feeds the physical, and without that the two of you will feel less interested. It’s important to you as a couple that life be evolving and exciting. You may enjoy change!

Travel would be a very good way to deepen your connection with each other. Discovering and trying new things together is very attractive to both of you. Give yourselves time to break out of old patterns and vary from routines from time to time. Going abroad may be quite appealing, or if not, do physically demanding activities together-for example ski or swim or hike. Talks you have while engaging in these experiences will be enriching and help you to know each other more. It’s important to both of you that life not be boring and routine.

Amanda’s Pisces Moon fills a romantic place in Paul’s chart, and since his Moon is in Leo, a generous sign, this is likely to be a very giving relationship. The Pisces Moon is more about romance, and softens Paul’s Leo Moon. For Paul, with Scorpio rising, Amanda’s Moon impacts both his home life and his love/creative side. Amanda is able to stir both enthusiasm about life and untapped creativity in Paul. Paul gains great enjoyment and fulfillment from this aspect of the relationship.

Weekly January 2nd

2011-12-27T12:19:00.003-05:00

Monday

We start the first full week of 2012 with Aries Moon. It's an action starting sign, and today the Moon is in harmony with Mercury in Sagittarius. We'll want to move, travel, get things accomplished or at least started. Anything that helps avoid boredom will seem like a good idea. Aries is competitive and also likes to have fun, so games and contests will draw lots of participation! It's also a good day to run, exercise and otherwise get physical energy going and boost metabolism if you've overindulged or been feeling sluggish. Tonight the Moon will shift to Taurus, grounding us in reality, spotlighting goals and steps toward things we want to accomplish. Build, create and organize, tonight. Wear green.

Tuesday

The Moon is in Taurus for well thought out decisions and steps toward important goals. Taurus Moon time helps with long term decisions. Break a habit and form a plan for when you get weak and may fall back. It's also a great day to adopt new habits or routines you hope to stick with! Taurus Moon favors builders and one aspect of the day relates to expansion and adding on. Begin construction or finish the job! Others who work with their hands are also influence positively by Taurus Moon, but it's also a sign of singers and speakers. Prepare something that needs to be rehearsed and performed soon. Today is meant to be constructive. Tonight can be productive too, but Taurus Moon also values comfort and pleasure and we're likely to be seeking whatever feels good once we can justify that some work is done. Wear brown.

Wednesday

The Moon stays in Taurus. Our stubborn tendencies can help us persevere with decisions we've made, habits we're trying to break, and New Year's resolutions, if that's the case. Taurus Moon influences a hands-on, how to approach to problems and other work. The Taurus Moon activates the five senses and being immersed in cooking, cleaning or enjoying the results of that kind of activity. As we move toward a Full Moon in a few days, it will feel satisfying to see some tangible results of projects or plans we've taken on since December's New Moon. Routine and familiar surroundings work best for most of us tonight. Wear blue.

Thursday

The Moon moves to Gemini at 5:44 am after squaring Neptune. It could be a day where con artists and manipulators show their skills. Neptune is the planet of illusions so stay sharp and think about anything you're agreeing to! The Moon and Uranus form a sextile which creates fertile conditions for surprises too. We need to think on our feet in these situations. Lots of news, talk & discussion is likely today! Respond carefully to communications. We might tend to speak or write too impulsively. Tonight is social. Use caution where trust is a potential pitfall. Things may not be as they seem or could move very quickly and out of the blue. Wear yellow.

Friday

The Moon is straightforward in Gemini moving information and news through the proper channels today. Act on opportunities, pay attention to emails, paperwork, the calendar and generally catch up or keep up. With a Full Moon arriving Sunday overnight into Monday, we may need to tie up loose ends, get ready for announcements and finalize things that are due. Come up with a plan or an answer to a looming question. Tonight the Moon works with Venus which is great for socializing and fairly good for love and romance. The Moon is also square to Mars and we may tend to get into discussions that could lead to disagreements. Try not to let things escalate. Wear red.

Saturday

The Moon starts out in Gemini and moves to Cancer after a short void of course Moon from 2:52 to 4:05 pm. The zodiac is busy with various Moon and planetary aspects and it's most notable that Mercury engages with the Moon, Saturn and Neptune indicating ideas and decisions, lots of discussion and negotiation, and in some case debates. Structuring our plans and thoughts to bring them to reality is the goal. With a Full Moon in the wee hours of Monday (EST) it's likely that decisions and answers are necessary sooner than later. Like yesterday pay attention to news, communications, and facts and figures that could be important to your plans. The Cancer Moon is low key in terms of social plans and we may opt for home and family over bigger nights out. Today's color is silver.

Sunday

The Cancer Moon will be Full over night tonight and our emotional energy is strong! The Full Moon in her home sign is intense and our consscious and subconscious feelings could be over active. Situations could get dramatic and things may be exaggerated so take a breather if conversations get overheated. Mercury dominates this entire weekend, moving to Capricorn today where the planet of communication is somewhat conservative about announcements and decisions, yet ambitious in nature. Mercury and Jupiter conspire in a positive way if you're looking for opportunities, want to build something and are willing to put in the effort. Mercury also squares Uranus which can be a curve ball and with the Full Moon this increases the chance of big news, more than likely not what was expected. Avoid arguements as they could spiral out of control. Home and family matters are ruled by Cancer Moon, so they are likely to peak now with things that have been in progress. The Moon is Full at 2:30 am EST, technically tomorrow. Wear white.

Monday

The Capricorn Moon is void of course from 8:36 am to 12:14 pm EST. Those hours are best for relaxing or doing only the most routine work. The Aquarius Moon moves in then and helps us envision what's next. The Moon squares Jupiter and we want to trim the fat, take a more global view, and get out of emotionally charged situations. Aquarius Moon prefers a detached point of view and a perspective on what's good for everyone. Sort things out and take a constructive approach with things this afternoon and tonight. The Moon and Uranus favor what's new, spontaneous, and innovative. The Moon moves toward Venus for a very good social evening. Wear turquoise blue.

Keep an open mind as the Moon and planets are urging new experiences so far this week. Wear pink.

Wednesday

The Moon is in Aquarius until 6:46 pm EST. Design and act on plans for now and the future. It's an optimistic Aquarius Moon meeting Neptune and forming a trine with Saturn. This is balanced since Neptune provides tha imagination and magic while Saturn keeps it real and helps us not to get caught up in delusions. The Moon is void of course from 4:31 to 6:45 pm and then in Pisces. Pisces is a much more emotional sign and we tend to personalize things in every way. Fortunately the Moon and Jupiter work together tonight for generosity and understanding and a willingness to compromise and solve problems. It's a creative night too. The Sun approaches Pluto in Capricorn and we'll have a strong urge to get organized and get any chaos under control. Wear green.

The Pisces Moon aspects both Sun and Pluto too, and Pisces it's a time of news, travels, and branding your ideas, starting a blog for example or engaging in a marketing plan or even creating a new resume for future opportunities. No matter what your sign, consider those things with activity in business like Capricorn and creative, versatile Pisces. Wear gold.

Friday

The Pisces Moon is void of course for almost the entire day, from 8:37 am until 4:48 am tomorrow. Our best judgment is better left for tomorrow. It's an ideal vacation day, with relaxation and recreational pastimes most in favor. The Moon is opposite Mars and square to Mercury so we might have to work to avoid arguments and overly emotional scenes. The drama potential is a bit high. Being flexible will help, but keep good boundaries since we can be takne4 advantage of with all this activity in the mutable signs. We may tend to give in too easily to dominant or persevering personalities. Say no if you want to. Ask forgiveness if you need to. It's not a good day for promises. Stay flexible. Wear blue.

Saturday

The Moon is in Aries meeting Uranus which can make for a wild, surprising New Years Eve. Events and traits will range from fun and inspired to crazy and chaotic. Take precautions in any situation that could be risky. Keep your head up and watch out for each other. Games will be very competitive and in some cases people will be relentless about winning or getting their way. Tonight, the Aries Moon squares Pluto in Capricorn and there's a controlling streak. Put effort in to make progress with either personal or business matters. On this NYE, changing things up, starting new traditions, and making active, outgoing plans is favored. It is truly a party night, but stay safe! We can be impulsive and adventurous to a fault on nights like this. Wear red.

Sunday

Mercury squares Mars in Virgo and the Sun overnight. These squares can put is at odds. Choose your words carefully and pick your battles. Some people will just be nitpicky or nagging. The Aries Moon gets along with Venus in Aquarius as the day goes on. It's a good time to ask or do a favor, get friendly advice, and socialize. For New Years Day, it's kind of a mixed bag of influences, but that Aries Moon motivates and influences us toward new, groundbreaking actions and breakthroughs of all kinds. Wear yellow.

Monday

The Moon is in Libra, sign of harmony and balance. That's what we strive for today, and it's compounded by Saturn also in Libra working with the Sun. Saturn practically insists on fairness and even the most independent or detached of us should find a way to fulfill obligations, help someone else out, and even compromise what we really want in the name of doing what's right. Sagittarius and Gemini might take a fresh perspective on something of that nature. Libra is a musical sign and an air sign, full of gracefulness, so music and dance will feel good today. If legal matters are pending it's a good time to give them attention and maybe even reach settlements. Tonight the Libra Moon is social although business will come first and it's likely to be personal and serious. Pisces and Aries should take financial and partnership decisions very seriously. Wear white.

Tuesday

There's so much going on in the zodiac, consider this a busy and changeable day! Venus, the planet of love and harmony, moves to Aquarius where she's still not in romance mode. Venus in Aquarius helps us detach where we need to, get out of dramatic relationship patterns, give caring advice, and foster friendships and community. The Moon moves to Scorpio at 5:33 am, opposite Jupiter in Taurus, and all this fixed sign energy is persistent but stubborn. Strong personalities, Taurus, Scorpio and others, may have big things to work through today. We may need to scale down, avoid excess, and allow others their space. It's not a day to push hard or pressure anyone. It is a good day to plant seeds that can grow, literally or figuratively. Work with focus and if the conditions are right, enjoy the Sun and Neptune's friendly vibes from Sagittarius and Aquarius. They urge us to find some escape and break from the many serious aspects in the heavens this week. Venus and Jupiter form a square and with effort we can achieve better personal relationships tonight. Taurus and Aquarius host that action, and Leo and Scorpio may find this true in love and partnership. Wear pink.

Wednesday

Today is the first day of Hanukkah and the eve of the Solstice. The Scorpio Moon is spiritual and in tune. It's a day of focus and also strong intuition. Trust your gut. Venus and Uranus mix it up in Aquarius and Aries, stimulating new friendships and relationships. Unlikely combinations form, between people and in general. Today has an experimental nature. The Moon and Mars in Virgo activate our practical and analytical sides too. It's a decent day for most tasks, business and other activities. Get at what needs the most attention. In some time zones, the Solstice is tonight as the Sun enters Capricorn for the official start to winter after midnight EST. Wear red.

Thursday

The Winter Solstice arrives as the Sun moves to Capricorn at 12:30 am. The Sun is in harmony with Jupiter today in the earth signs. This is a mark of fortune and prosperity, favoring and feeling good to Capricorn, Virgo and Taurus, and potentially benefiting Aries, Leo and Sagittarius in terms of money, gifts and other abundance. Cancer and Scorpio may enjoy this with regard to long term love and family relationships. For all of us it's meant to be productive, decisive and prosperous so go for that pot of gold. The Sun also mixes it up with Uranus in Aries for lighting strikes of inspiration and bursts of news and surprises, some of which may require adjustment in ways of dealing or thinking. It's all in the name of progress, however that doesn't make all surprises easy to deal with at first. Let news settle in before over reacting. The Moon moves into Sagittarius at 7:03 am after a couple of void of course hours. The day may be somewhat unsettled at the start. It's a day of exploring and travels and movement in general. We'll break out of stuck places. Tonight the Moon meets Mercury for planning and educational decisions, and travels. Wear purple.

Friday

The Sagittarius Moon is moving things along at a fast pace, possibly without a schedule or plan to stick with. It's a "seat of your pants" kind of day, full of change and spontaneity. The Moon squares Mars in Virgo and we'll be analyzing situations and trying to choose the best solutions to problems or changes that come up without warning. Virgo is a practical place for a very assertive planet, and balancing a Sagittarius carefree attitude with what has to be taken care of is the ideal result today. Otherwise things we don't see eye to eye on could create confrontations. Allowing for change is necessary with the action in mutable signs. Holding someone to a plan may be difficult. Make adjustments. Go on a field trip. It's another day of travel and movement and changing minds. Get ready for a New Moon tomorrow. Wear pink.

Saturday

After 2 hours void of course the Moon moves to Capricorn at 8:47 am EST and reaches New Moon status at 1:06 pm. Last month we had a solar eclipse at New Moon time, so today and the days just ahead vibrate with change, new developments and potentially unexpected news. The New Moon in Capricorn sets us up for resolutions before New Years. Making tangible, physical, practical changes, such as lifestyle shifts or business plans makes good sense. As far as the holidays, Hanukkah and Christmas both, tradition is favored by Capricorn Moon. Create a comfortable, simple atmosphere. The Moon and Pluto can be a bit dark or mysterious together and those two meet tonight. Deep feelings come up. New Moon in Capricorn relates to love and friendship for Virgo, a look toward outside or distant opportunities for Taurus, home and family for Libra, and close partnerships and relationships for Cancer. Today's color is white.

Sunday

The New Moon continues to fuel and initiate changes today. The Moon and Mars work in earth signs for a grounded feeling. Hands on approaches, reorganization, and tradition work well, and we'll be most comfortable with what we're accustomed to. While personal and business changes mark this New Moon time, we won't want to mess with holiday traditions! Pleasures of the senses, the sounds, smells, and feelings associated with the season, will make us happy. Games and movement will feel good as Mars the physical planet is involved with the Capricorn Moon. Wear blue.

The Cancer Moon works with Mars in Virgo and opposes Venus in Capricorn today. Cancer Moon's first priorities relate to personal business and home. Take care of things that create security and comfort on a daily basis. We'll want to refresh the home front today and make progress with projects there. Relationships can feel the ups and downs of Venus opposite the Moon in emotional Cancer. Today has a sentimental streak and we'll feel things deeply.

This is the last full day of Mercury retrograde so line up new plans to be initiated soon. Wear black.

Tuesday

The Moon is in Cancer, void of course from 11:05 am to 4:48 pm. Serious attitudes and matters come up this morning as the Moon squares Jupiter and Saturn. Explore possible, productive solutions and save taking action for when Mercury retrograde ends tonight at 8:43 pm. The last day of the retrograde is know n for being one of the most confusing or intense, so take today easy and don't be pressured for decisions or your word. The Leo Moon tonight wants to have fun and shake things up, working in tandem with Uranus in Aries and Mercury as the retrograde ends. Forward movement is imminent and that feeling something is about to happen is in the air! Wear purple.

Wednesday

The Leo Moon works with no interference or help from other planets today. Leo Moon likes activity and action. We tend to be optimistic on days like this. Get something started. It's prime time to get rid of things or situations you don't need while the Leo Moon is waning. Sports, games, and performing in or attending performaces are well timed with this Leo Moon. If you're a Cancer this could be a good business day. Scorpio, do something good for your image or make a good impression at any kind of public event or presentation. Gemini, it's a day of writing and contacting or being contacted by family and people you can network with, both. Tonight is a social evening out, but Leo Moon time is also good for studies. Today's color is orange.

Thursday

The Moon is in Leo in harmony with the Sagittarius Sun! Learning, exploring, refreshing things, and creativity in general should be at a high point. Saturn weighs in from Libra reminding us of responsibilities and urging us to keep it fair and structured. This is a good day for most anything from serious business or test taking to games and general fun. When the Moon is in Leo we need at least some time to goof off. Leo Moon is also a generous time and charitable work or events are favored. Tonight the Moon is opposite Neptune for romance and imagination. But our judgment can be clouded. If trust is an issue err on the side of caution. It's a music and movie type night. The Leo Moon works with Jupiter for social attitudes and optimism. The Moon is void of course from 8:20 to 10:58 pm. Wear navy blue.

Friday

The Virgo Moon is serious about work at the end of the week. The Moon squares Mercury and we're likely to be cleaning up something from the retrograde time. Rethink and take new directions now. It's a day of people changing their minds, finding and analyzing new information, and changing things up. The Moon and Pluto urge organizationand ambition today. Find a sense of accomplishment. It's a business day for Aquarius and Leo. Aquarius, look into any areas where your privacy or finances could be compromised. Pisces, Gemini and Sagittarius you in particular may have to negotiate with significant others before finding agreement or compromise. We all need to give attention to the details and correct errors. Wear black.

Saturday

It's Virgo Moon in the 4th quarter of the lunar cycle. The Moon meets Mars really activating problem solving, planning, and work on tasks large and small. Eliminating what you don't need, from items to distractions or even negative personal connections, is also today's mission. The Virgo Moon helps us analyze what's needed and what isn't working. There's a flexible attitude, or if you can muster one up it will be helpful. In fact, we tend to want to ptich in when the Moon is in Virgo, and this is a good day to get someone to volunteer, do a favor, or give some assistance with a job or project. The Moon works with Venus tonight making it a nice date night, especially for Taurus, Virgo, and Pisces.

The Libra Moon strives for peace and balance and a sensible attitude. But Uranus rebels against the norm and inititates events and news. Pluto brings up secrets and things we've tried to hide. Negotiating these waters and trying to weigh out options and make good decisions is in the forecast for today. Venus and Saturn especially activate relationship burdens, obligations or disagreements. Cancer and Aries may notice this along with Capricorn and Libra who host that planetary square. If you can be fair and discriminating, problems might be minimized or solved more easily. Try not to judge too harshly today. Wear lavender.

Weekly December 5th

2011-12-04T10:56:00.003-05:00

Monday

The Moon is in action starting Aries experiencing no interference or influence from other planets. All Aries traits and activities are prominent today. Be careful about selfishness. Enjoy a dose of motivation, inspiration and action. A good game is well timed with Aries Moon. Feeling competitive can be another effect. Venus and Mars work happily together in earth signs Capricorn and Virgo, helping us work together particularly as couples. Reach a temporary agreement about something that affects both of you. Enjoy time with friends and significant others as that trine favors just getting along and finding common ground. Venus is also favoring decorators, designers, painters and others who create beautiful and functional environments or creations. Tonight is good for making things or making things happen, but keep Mercury retrograde in mind and leave the right to change your opinion or strategy later if you want to. Wear pink.

Tuesday

The Aries Moon is void of course from 6:13 to 9:34 am. Sometimes that means a slow start or mistakes due to forgetfulness or impulsivity. Slow down and think as you get started today. Saturn opposed the Moon overnight and we might wake up with fairness on our minds, including situations that are imbalanced where one of us is giving in too much or taking more than a fair share of the work on. Set something right today. The Moon moves to Taurus and meets Jupiter which is fortunate and makes us feel good generally. The down side is excess. Avoid going too far or indulging too much. Take advantage of the positive work or career asepct if you're an Aries or a Leo, and good feelings in relationships if you're Scorpio or Capricorn, for example. It's a day to try and increase prosperity or create a more favorable situation. Tonight the Moon works with Pluto, helping us solve and resolve things that have been up in the air and needed practical solutions. Wear green.

Wednesday

The Taurus Moon blends well with Mars in Virgo and Venus in Capricorn. As we head for a Saturday Full Moon, the productive, sensible combination of earth sign influences is good! Full Moon deadlines and events may not be helped much by Mercury retrograde and we could be experiencing blocks and delays. Find some temporary plans and solutions to get you through to December 13th when the retrograde ends and more permanent plans will be in better favor. Relationships are boosted for Scorpio and Cancer among others, and Virgo and Cancer enjoy friends and gatherings mid week. Tonight, social plans with close friends and small groups, for example dinner with friends or family, are well timed. It can be a decent work night too. Wear brown.

Thursday

The Moon is in Taurus until 6:39 pm EST. The Taurus Moon is solid, hard working and warm. It's meant to be a day of steady progress and accomplishment and simple pleasures. The Moon is warming up for Full Moon in Gemini and working toward deadlines or with some pressure will be common through the weekend. Hands on work , building and creative arts are favored today. Mental work may be more of a challenge. Finding all the information you need may be challenging now with Mercury retrograde and the Moon squaring Neptune which means be careful what or whom you believe. Taht goes for tonight too, especially as the Moon is void of course from 6:39 to 9:52 pm EST. Be very careful about promises made or gossip or secrets revealed. Hold information close and don't say more than you need to. The Moon moves to Gemini at 9:52 pm and combines with Uranus in Aries for a very changeable and surprising evening. Sagittarius will experience this with lovers or friends and Aquarius may find friends unreliable. Take it easy tonight if you can. Wear blue.

Friday

It's Full Moon time, with the Gemini lunar eclipse and Full Moon at 9:36 am tomorrow morning. The Moon is opposite Mercury really intensifying the retrograde now. A return to old business, attempts to resolve things and find compromise, and the return of faces and places from the past is prominent today and tomorrow. A lunar eclipse will give everything a big push, and we may be asked to do something long before we expected or receive big news. A Gemini Moon relates to our siblings and cousins, to everything we put in writing, and to the vehicles we commute in and communicate with. Back things up, double check, and be very careful with the written and spoken word. The chance of being misunderstood or misquoted is higher than usual! The weekend is very likely to be newsworthy, and eclipses usually bring events we didn't acticipate or create conditions where what we expect happens more quickly! Tonight people from the past return to our circles, and Aquarius and Leo experience this with friends while Pisces or Aries may hear from long lost family. The Moon squares Mars in Virgo and attempts at problem solving could seem like wasted energy. Wear yellow.

Saturday

The Moon is Full in Gemini, sign of news, communication of all kinds, brothers and sisters, and travels. This is also a lunar eclipse, bringing drama, eventfulness, possibly conclusions, and as always Full Moon deadlines. It's a very busy Full Moon, and if you feel frantic, anxious or overworked, that's common with Gemini Full Moon. Mercury is retrograde and it's not time to act yet. Save decisions and forward momentum for mid week if possible. Try not to base decisions on high pressure or anxiety.The lunar eclipse relates to women and girls in our lives, and Cancer, Gemini and Sagittarius most prominently. This is about business, money and employment for Taurus and Scorpio. Sagittarius is most likely to have significant relationship happenings either directly or because of a significant other and developments in his or her life. Virgo, this is a career Moon and you need to put yourself in the best possible stnading and shine! This Full Moon is loikely to be tough on our nerves. Don't subject yourself to unnecessary stress or to dramatic people. Wear silver.

Sunday

The Moon is void of course from 5:24 am to 8:26 am and then moves to Cancer. The emotional nature the Full Moon continues and so does the news. However the Moon in harmony with Jupiter in Taurus helps ground us in reality. Begin to look at real options, forward movement, and an end to Mercury retrograde delays or hijacks soon. It's a good time to refocus and plan for your next move then see how things look around Wednesday. That will be a better time to shop, make permanent decisions and have heart to heart talks. Today may feel like an emotional rollercoaster, but the Cancer Moon does help us get a handle on how we really feel! Cook comfort food, enjoy family dinner and time with those you feel closest to. Enjoy the arts and performances or engage insome creative work. Mercury retrograde ends Tuesday. Wear white.

2011-11-27T18:12:00.003-05:00

Monday

The Moon is in Capricorn. The happy vibe of Venus and Jupiter in harmony lingers into today too, and Venus in Capricorn favors practical relationship decisions with the aim of feeling secure and satisfied. Libra might be feeling something similar with regard to family, housemates and home. Organizing our thoughts and our things, both, is in the forecast now. With last Friday's New Moon we're looking to refresh things if not even start brand new. With Mercury retrograde in Sagittarius, move as slow as you need to, however. The Moon squares Saturn in Libra at 6:01 pm setting us up for action and discussions around what's fair, responsible and balanced. The void of course Moon may help us relax and quietly get work done on goals and priorities. Cancer, like Libra, is dealing with home matters and significant others, including making some flexible decisions where a partner must be taken into consideration. Scorpio, tonight is about family communication and also paperwork or studies. Research something. Capricorn, focus on goals, possibly in a retroactive way. Go back and review your path and your progress or performance. Wear gray.

Tuesday

The Moon moves to Aquarius at 2:02 am. The Sun and Uranus agree with this Moon from fire signs Sagittarius and Aries. The combination can light a fire under us if we need motivation or vision. Aquarius is an air sign of logic and scientific thinking. It helps us design plans and see what could be next. Take methodical steps today. Aries, combined efforts will be more appealing than working solo. Investigate groups focused on your interests. Aquarius, you may feel similar. You're also ready to shake things up, and a surprising announcement from you is a distinct possibility this week. Leo, your love life, close friends and partnerships are a big focus this week. Opportunity could come as a surprise for you and take you to new places or into new fields of interest or study. This is a day for all of us to keep eyes and ears open and expect aha moments today and tomorrow. Tonight is good for study that requires logic or forces you to think differently. Open your mind to new ideas or ones you used to reject. Wear turquoise blue.

Wednesday

The Aquarius Moon in harmony with Mercury retrograde fills today with old business and other reconnection to the past. People we knew and collaborated with, groups we used to belong to, activities we were once involved in, friends, and even opportunities we once passed up, can resurface at times like this. Back up and make copies of everything important since Mercury relates to communications and documents and Aquarius is a sign of technology. Computers and other devices may seem to fail us or act in out of the ordinary ways. On the upside, it's a good day for Taurus and Gemini to revisit previous opportunities for travel or promotion or recognition. Leo is in line for reconnection with friends and to experience a lucky break with something that didn't come to be in the past. Aquarius, reconnect or rejoin a group. You may find you have more in common now with old friends or former colleagues. Tonight is all about revisiting, people, places or business left undone. Think of today as a second chance day! Wear yellow.

Thursday

The Moon is void of course from 6:27 to 9:45 am EST in Aquarius. Those hours include a meeting between Moon and dreamy Neptune and another with Venus and Pluto in Capricorn. Couples will have very practical considerations in decisions made today. A well thought out, organized approach is called for. Neptune can cloud our vision and the void of course Moon also affects judgment so ease in and save significant action for after 9:45 when the Moon moves to Pisces. We tend to act emotionally under Pisces Moon, so make sure the heart doesn't completely take over the brain! Things fall together easily and sometimes without much intention on days like this as the Moon forms trines to Jupiter, Pluto and Venus. Being too easygoing or too much of a pushover can be a danger, however these easygoing angles may just make life more simple. Aim for that! Generosity, compassion, and understanding may come more readily. Wear light blue.

Friday

Today's goal is progress with a 2nd quarter Moon in Pisces and squares dominating the zodiac. Mars is a major influence, pushing for action from the sign Virgo. Mars squares the Sun and opposes the Moon. Struggling to make agreements, muddling through plans that may have Mercury retrograde glitches, and mustering up motivation even if you feel Pisces Moon sluggish or indecisive is all part of today's work. What's worthwhile will likely require lots of effort with feelings and personalities taken into consideration. The drama potential is definitely on the high side, particularly with Sagittarius, Pisces, and Virgo, the mutable signs. Mars' sign Aries may be frustrated with personal things or debates while Scorpio is the sign most likely to see progress. Sagittarius, remember not to push too hard with Mercury retro in your sign. You may want a change of course in a few weeks. The Moon begins a long void of course time at 1:06 pm affecting plans, schedules and our ability to focus until Saturday night. It's a good night for music and movies. Shopping is not really recommended. Wear green.

Saturday

The Moon is void in Pisces for the day, helping us relax but not helping us get things accomplished. Routine work and everyday shopping is fine, but check receipts and your change and save big purchases for another day. It is a good day to ask for help or a favor since we tend to be more forgiving and understanding with this Pisces Moon. Tonight the Moon moves to fire sign Aries and meets Uranus and the weekend takes a very energetic and possibly unanticipated turn. Uranus brings out the instigator and rebel in us. Wear red.

Sunday

This is a busy day in the zodiac with the Aries Moon and lots of action with the planets and the Sun and Mercury meeting in Sagittarius. This happens only once during the retrograde and makes it very likely that we'll revisit the past in some form. Sagittarius is most likely to have old feelings stirred up as well as reconnections with both friends and ex friends or ex lovers. A number of squares, presenting challenges, include Mercury and Mars triggering discussions or debates regarding old business. The Moon and planets take alot of this action in fire signs and mutable signs so we're likely to feel everything is very changeable right now. Wear yellow.

Weekly November 21

2011-11-20T13:56:00.004-05:00

Monday

The Moon in Libra was opposite Uranus hours ago, and while some of us will want to avoid confronting news and events of the last few days, others may go at it gregariously. Uranus in Aries is a firestarter and rabble rouser while the Moon in Libra doesn't want confrontation. We could feel very conflicted or off balance today. I expect some will run around trying to avoid or smooth things while some keep poking at the bees nest looking for either change and resolution or just for trouble. Libra Moon relies on peace and harmony, but it may be hard to accomplish or sustain today. The Moon and Pluto square early, looking for progress while also dredging up matters you may have hoped were resolved. Take a constructive approach, knowing that it may help to keep strong emotions and agendas to a minimum. We may have demands put upon us today. For Cancer that may be most relevant with family and significant others. For Capricorn, career and personal agendas or goals may be the challenging point. For Aries or Gemini, it may just seem things can't happen fast enough. Libra likes to look at the pros and cons and weigh things logically. Libra Moon time is good for making music, dancing, analyzing information, and considering fairness and, at the extreme, legal implications. Find some balance and moderation. Wear red.

Tuesday

Scorpio birthdays end at 11:08 am this year when the Sun moves to Sagittarius! That time will vary year to year, and on the cusp, your sign depends on your birth time. The Moon will change signs too, so babies born today could have very different charts! Scorpios with Libra or Scorpio Moon and Sagittarius with either of those two Moon signs too. Early today most of the universe is working in harmony and ease, though situations need serious and earnest consideration and in some cases work, says Saturn from Libra. The Moon and Saturn meet, and our priority needs to be justice, balance and equal give and take. Saturn and Venus combine energies reminding us strongly of the need for equality and shared responsibility in relationships. Sagittarius and Libra, and their opposing signs, Gemini and Aries, are most impacted in marriage and other long term partnerships. Scorpios may feel preoccupied or introverted today and could be focused on finding new work or figuring out money matters with relationship also a consideration in the mix. Cancer, all this Libra energy has to do with your family and your home and that may take priority over everything. Parents may put demands on you or you may be the parent dealing with family issues. The Moon is void of course from 6:04 to 8:58 pm EST and then moves to Scorpio. Tonight, get personal priorities and business taken care of and allow others time and space. The Moon is opposite Jupiter and our feelings and opinions may be exaggerated especially if we need to defend them. Wear maroon.

Wednesday

The Scorpio Moon is busy with Mars in Virgo and Pluto in Capricorn. The idea is to act on things and get work accomplished. We're likely to want time to ourselves and to concentrate on our own priorities. Respect privacy and space. It's a day for organizing and planning. The Sagittarius Sun and Uranus in Aries activate news and changes. Having an open mind will help, and Capricorn and Virgo experience this in areas of home and family. Libra may need to be flexible with travel and with the plans of significant others. There's a spontaneous aspect to the day and unexpected things may turn out to be welcome or fun! Mars and Pluto help us clear out clutter and unnecessary static and focus on what's worthwhile and good for us. Tonight is the eve of Mercury retrograde, and we have to be careful what we commit to. Save big decisions and promises for a few weeks if possible. People return to our lives and we travel to old familiar places in the weeks ahead. Wear black.

Thursday

Mercury retrograde starts at 2:19 am EST. The Moon is in Scorpio and moves to Sagittarius at 8:57 pm. Neptune is a major influence today, squaring the Moon and in harmony with Venus. It will be easy to be under the influence of romance, either with a person or infatuated with a new situation or place. Sagittarius and Aquarius host those two planets and may feel that very directly, though Pisces is always prone to Neptune's influence, and other signs feel the dreamy effect too. This may help us all get along but may also encourage escapism or overindulgence. The mood is overall social and agreeable though not overly reliable in terms of timing. Allow for delays and expect a certain amount of forgetfulness, maybe as a result of being caught in the moment and pleasantly distracted. The Moon moves into Sagittarius tonight and we may be a little less sensitive to other people's wants and needs as we pursue our own agendas. It's an adventurous, spontaneous night. Consider last minute invitations and plans especially if you need a change of pace. Mercury is now retrograde so expect things to be in flux and keep plans temporary and changeable. Say maybe if you're not certain. We'll hear alot about others changing their things up, and with tomorrow's New Moon, a fresh approach will be very appealing and may involve a trip back in time, blending old and new. Wear purple.

Friday

The New Moon is here, in Sagittarius! Changes of scene, routine, and even philosophies of life, come with this New Moon. Be patient though, and try things out without committing permanently. Mercury is retrograde, so we may shift our thinking, yet again, before 2012. This New Moon is a solar eclipse, relating to Sagittarius, Gemini, Leo, and moves and changes made by fathers, brothers, sons and other men prominent in our lives. Some of this may be more evident and complete during the December 10th lunar eclipse, but the action is starting now and may be a continuation of events from last June. Think back and see how beginnings and changes then are developing or even reversing now. Experiment, find your sense of adventure, and expand your outlook and experiences. Save permanent decisions for later in December however. The solar eclipse is an accelerator so things in the works may get big, forceful pushes today as Mars in Virgo squares the Moon, aiming for movement and transitions. It's not really a great day to shop despite the "Black Friday" mentality in the western world. Wear white.

Saturday

Venus moves to Capricorn where the goddess and planet of love is domestic and grounded. Venus in Capricorn is when we want to retreat a bit socially, nest, and be with our significant others if there is one. Sometimes relationships progress with practical concerns, like money and security, in mind when Venus is in earth signs. Venus squares Uranus as her first move in this sign, and relationship status changes and news are the likely results. The Moon, new in Sagittarius, urges changes and offers opportunities today and this week. We may feel like acting quickly after the solar eclipses yesterday, but moving slowly, with Mercury retrograde, is a better plan. There's every indication today will be full of news as the Moon and messenger planet Mercury also meet. Sagittarius is a whirlwind of action and business old and new. Gemini will feel this in long term and significant relationships, or vicariously, indirectly be affected by others' decisions. Leo, meetings with old friends may come as a surprise and lead to good fortune and reconnection. Aquarius, you and Leo experience this in similar ways, though you may connect with an entire group or team you were once part of. Tonight the Moon is void from 7:06 to 10:05 pm EST and shopping is not a great idea nor is it the best time to make promises. The Moon moves to Capricorn at 10:05 pm and meets Venus, keeping romances, relationships, and partnership in the forefront. Wear green.

Sunday

The Capricorn Moon meets Pluto which can have a dark effect, but with most of the zodiac harmonizing in the earth signs, for example Jupiter in Taurus and Mars in Virgo, we should be working in tandem, finding opportunities and partnering, and making time to enjoy life. Jupiter and the Moon put us in the mood to be good to ourselves and others. It's another good day for family or friends to celebrate together and show appreciation and thanks. Venus and Jupiter give very good vibes to relationships including Scorpio and Cancer in long term love, and Capricorn in developing relationships. Tonight has great potential for whatever you'd like to make of it. Wear pink.

2011-11-13T12:06:00.004-05:00

Monday

The Moon is in Cancer from 2:19 am EST until midday Wednesday. With a waning Cancer Moon we'll want to focus on clearing clutter and reorganizing our homes and may be making room for new things. Mars in Virgo also works with the Moon making us feel even more domestic and giving us the urge to sort and organize. In work and business, the Cancer Moon is a saver more than a spender and we can expect others to act conservatively. Cancer Moon has a way with investing and building savings. Today Jupiter in Taurus combines with the Moon making security and plenty a priority. Those are the simpler aspects of today, while we also have Uranus in Aries prodding and maybe agitating the Cancer Moon with new developments that push us out of our comfort zones. Cancer may feel that with career situations while Aquarius, ruled by Uranus, could be pushed out of routine and have to adopt a new method or at least try to. Pluto, across from the Moon, brings up relationship skeletons or information for Cancer and maybe Capricorn. Gemini and Sagittarius will experience that opposition more with money and business. Some things unearthed today will upset the balance or flow. Tonight, being at home, being in touch with family, and staying away from needlessly dramatic situations that have cropped up today are the best plans of all. The capacity for emotions to take over is there but you can keep it manageable. Wear light blue.

Tuesday

The Cancer Moon is a bit uncomfortable in the heavens today. A feeling of being somewhat at odds or inexplicably dissatisfied is one effect. Yesterday's Moon/Pluto opposition still has impact and if the past has been dredged up it's not likely to feel good. Try to live in the present today. Cancer Moon is sentimental and hangs on, but with the waning Moon, letting go could feel great. Routine and our comfort zones work best on days like this. Do something familiar and soothing if stress is taking over. The Moon and Sun gel in Scorpio and Cancer tonight for a very creative, sensitive, artistic, musical influence. Express yourself creatively. Be shrewd in business. We won't give up or give in too easily tonight and may hold our feelings to ourselves rather than risk rejection or a mistake. Still tonight has nice romantic potential for signs like Pisces and Cancer and good social and friendship outlooks for Virgo and Scorpio. Wear indigo blue.

Wednesday

The Cancer Moon moves void at 12:22 am EST and changes signs at 11:17 am. The morning hours are likely to be slow, confusing, or perhaps just unmotivated. Take your time and try not to let pressure get to you. If need be, shut the phone off and answer messages later when our wits are sharper. The Leo Moon immediately engages with Uranus in Aries and it's all systems go for the rest of the day. Mars and Jupiter form a very practical and progressive trine today and we really want movement, accomplishment and tangible results. Those things may even come easier than you expect, but effort is required so push to make something important happen! Leo Moon time is no nonsense and optimistic. Tonight is good for either practical, creative or social pursuits. Wear red.

Thursday

The Leo Moon has only happy aspects with Mercury and Venus in Sagittarius. It's a bold, fiery but good feeling day. We should be motivated for learning and training, meeting people and networking as well as for fun and games. During the Leo Moon we need some leisure or recreational time to blow off steam. Travel appeals to us with planets in Sagittarius, and movement of any kind should feel positive and necessary. Get out of boredom or stagnant routines in whatever way you can. Leo Moon rules children so they may want extra attention and demand fun today! Tonight is a great night out and a creative night to work or study. Turn anything into a game and it will be easier to accomplish. Set up some healthy, not so serious, competition. Plan travel or work on college applications too. Wear purple.

Friday

The 4th quarter Moon is in Leo at 10:09 am EST, and the Moon moves void of course at 2:05 pm. An important long term action is timed well before 2:05 though it may be a challenge to arrive at the answer or conclusion you need in order to act. The Moon squares the Sun in Scorpio for serious considerations before we make our moves. Act thoughtfully and with intent today since these fixed signs keep things in place and make them difficult to reverse. The Moon is void of course, or in a holding pattern, until 5:19 pm. The afternoon is best spent routinely or in fun, leisure type activities. Big decisions are best saved if not made before 2 pm. Today is also good for performances, presentations and rehearsals. The Virgo Moon that kicks in at 5:19 is at least in part setting us up for a work oriented, business like weekend. Tonight can be nice for a celebration and shopping or spending could be tempting with Jupiter weighing in from Taurus. Tonight an indulgence, without being too extreme, will feel good. Virgo and Capricorn may need to reward themselves for work accomplished, and Taurus will just be in a social or lucky mood. Cancer is the messenger of interesting news and maybe something to drink to! But get ready to put efforts into the weekend. Today's color is brown.

Saturday

The Virgo Moon and Mars meet and Pluto weighs in from Capricorn, making it very much an earth sign day. Notice where help is needed and pitch in today. It's a good day to trade services or skills and work with neighbors, friends, or family. We'll feel driven to put energy and time into the many things that need to be done, from yard work to holiday preparation to other projects. It's a good day to volunteer and participate in community efforts. Figuring out how to accomplish something that requires assembling is a task you might take on. The Moon is in Gemini's sign of home and family, Pisces' sign of partnerships and marriage, and Scorpio's sign of friends and community. Efforts and activities related to those places might make sense for those signs. Tonight our patience may be tested, with friends or at work for example, as the Moon approaches a square with Mercury in Sagittarius. Know that words have a great deal of power and impact tonight and choose them with care. Wear black.

Sunday

As the Virgo Moon squares Mercury and Venus, some of our challenges today include changes of plans, possibly last minute, and negotiating the ebb and flow of relationships. Venus in Sagittarius is in flux, and the unreliable or fickle streak tends to become more apparent. We are also well into Mercury retrograde effects even though it's not official until 2:19 am EST on the 24th (Thanksgiving Day in the USA). Between now and then things shift into less reliable gear all the way around. With Virgo Moon we might want it all worked out, planned and smooth, however Mercury in Sagittarius urges changes and alters even our ways of thinking. It will be common to change your mind or at another extreme, go back on your word now. The Moon is void from 5:21 pm until 8:16 pm and those hours are prone to very poor judgment. Keep things very simple then and avoid major purchases or promises of any kind. The Moon moves to Libra and opposes Uranus making for an unpredictable night. Avoiding confrontation may not be very easy tonight, particularly Libra, Aries, and indirectly Aquarius and Cancer. Wear lavender today.

Monday

The Aries Moon is a fire starter! Initiating new business or even fun is easy as the Moon aligns with Mercury and Venus in Sagittarius. Those two planets are instigating new learning as well as change in general this month. Act on educational as well as other opportunities. Travel is especially in favor! Experience or draw others into trying new things today. Mars in Leo is opposite Neptune. Act on dreams and hopes. Group mentality could attempt to take over. Follow your own instincts rather then go with a misleading crowd if that's the case. Tonight, expect high energy and a change from the usual. If you're hoping situations will be the same and people will be reliable. you might be surprised, but try not to be disappointed in changes that are to be expected. Free spirit rules the night. Wear orange.

Tuesday

The Moon is in Aries opposite Saturn. Partnerships of all kinds, work, marriage or romance, present challenges today. If you're acting in self interest you 're likely to be called out on it at minimum. If you're in the midst of settling or resolving a dispute, things could get very serious today. No nonsense will be tolerated. Be fair and true. Authority figures could come down hard in some cases. We're warming up for Thursday's Full Moon so anything could intensify quickly. Cancer may notice that as the Moon's home sign, and Cancers may be on the authoritative end and need to deal with things that have gone awry. Aries is not likely to enjoy today's opposition, and some of us will judge harshly. It's still a good day to be getting something started or to try something new. Libra may want to try that if a relationship matter is lingering. A new approach can help. Aquarius, try new approaches to studies, writing, or other things that will be published, presented, or shared. At night the Moon aligned with Neptune helps us let go more and activates imagination needed for planning or projects in the works. Full Moon deadlines are looming this week. Wear black.

Wednesday

The Moon moves to Taurus, tomorrow's Full Moon sign, at 2:45 am and meets Jupiter. Taurus traits rule the day, so we may feel stubborn and persevere even through obstacles! Jupiter provides optimism. Aries and Leo can use this to work and career advantage and may get a lucky break! Taurus, you and Leo will be both be noticed and may seem larger than life today! Put yourself in good standing or in the right place at what seems like the right time. It's a good day for interviews or the spotlight for you three signs and for Sagittarius too. Sag you could have a lucky change of fortunes now! Neptune stations direct in Aquarius which helps you act without illusion, Aquarians, and may move forward Leo's long term relationships and Libra romances. This is a day to be realistic but also hopeful, and Capricorn is in on the positive action too. Tonight, work hard for what you want. Aim higher than you think you can reach. Be persistent to meet goals or deadlines the Full Moon is bringing this week. Wear green.

Thursday

The Moon is Full in earth sign Taurus at 3:16 pm EST. Things we've been working towards reach peaks and completions. There are no planets in aspect to this Full Moon. Taurus and Scorpio strong will and persistence dominate the day. It's a day to note growth or to try and reverse things that are stagnant or unproductive. Taurus is a sign of fertility and prosperity. This Full Moon is about satisfaction and security. Situations that are not fulfilling or that create insecurity will become glaring, and we'll aim for what's more satisfying and nurturing. If something new needs to be planted, literally or otherwise, this Full Moon is a good time. Farmers, bakers, and fisher-folk appreciate Taurus Full Moon, the sign of plenty. Scorpio, the Taurus Full Moon brings passion and peaks in your relationships and decisions may be made about the direction of committed partnerships. Aries, the focus for you is work and money and shared resources as well. Capricorn, you may get the lucky break you need! Tonight along with the Full Moon, Mars is active, shifting into earth sign Virgo for a longer than usual stay. Mars in Virgo influences us to volunteer, work with a hands on approach, and evaluate routines and practices we've become accustomed to. It's an earth signs' night, Taurus, Virgo, Capricorn. Wear gold.

Friday

The earlier part of the day has a stubborn, and in some cases ornery, Taurus streak as the Full Moon squares Neptune in Aquarius and is close to squaring Mars. We may find it hard to collaborate especially with others who think differently. For example, a cerebral person who relies on intellect will find it hard to understand someone who prefers to build and experience firsthand without a set of instructions. We may not want to consider other points of view today. The Moon is void of course from 11:27 am to 3:10 pm and the Moon moves to Gemini then. Gemini Moon and Mars in Virgo also have trouble seeing eye to eye. Plans may not be very reliable tonight, and our tolerance for each others' faults will not be very high. It is a social night out though and the more spontaneous you're willing to be, the better. Breathe and relax through frustrations and attempt to accomplish the important things outside of void of course Moon time. Wear pink.

Saturday

The waning Moon in Gemini may help us clear out clutter, mentally or otherwise. Weigh the pros and cons and decide what stays and what can go. Gemini Moon is fickle and in the wake of the Full Moon we'll find out people have changed their minds about things we thought were solid (or realize we've changed our own!) We'll break or receive news, especially amongst family since Gemini is the sign of our siblings and cousins. Socially it's an outgoing day and night, but it's also a good time to take care of studies, paperwork and writing for school, work or our own pleasure. We'll want to express what's been on our minds. Wear yellow.

Sunday

The Gemini Moon in harmony with Saturn helps clear our thought processes and take logical steps. Break overwhelming things into smaller increments to think out or accomplish. The Moon and Neptune shine on group efforts and social atmospheres. Today we're likely to feel outgoing even with people we don't know well. There's creative energy especially if we gather to solve problems, play games or engage in projects that require flexible thinking. Wear white.

2011-10-30T17:31:00.002-04:00

Monday

Halloween arrives with the Moon in Capricorn, sign of the goat. Sometimes an occult symbol, the goat also represents surefootedness and abundance. Goats climb rocky mountains and ledges, and when the Moon is in Capricorn we may feel like or be asked to take on big challenges. Today's Capricorn Moon is in harmony with the Sun in Scorpio for a persevering, ambitious approach. Venus in Scorpio square to Neptune also dominates the day, and romanticism or idealism may get us in trouble or be misleading. A secretive and reserved feeling is likely and may create some discomfort or concern. We might not feel very trusting. Go with your instincts and aim to be productive. For Halloween night, tradition prevails! Go with the tried and true. Capricorn costumes might include animals, fairies and other earth creatures. Wear green.

Tuesday

The Moon is in Capricorn solidly through the work and school day, and void of course tonight from 5pm to 6:08 pm before moving into Aquarius. The Capricorn Moon aligns with Mercury and venus in Scorpio which improves our interactions and general communication or planning. Still, there may be a secretive vibe to the day as Mercury and Neptune square and people and situations may not be straightforward. Ask lots of questions and make sure you judge or decide with the correct information. Check references and trust with caution. Scorpio, Virgo, and Capricorn you especially may feel like gossip or other behind your back activity is going on. Ignoring distractions and going forward toward plans and goals may be the best plan since it's a productive time between New and Full Moon. Be businesslike and maybe a bit impersonal if that seems to be called for. It's meant to be a drama free night so don't get sucked in. The Aquarius Moon remains emotionally detached, but does encourage either socializing or study tonight. The Moon and Uranus combine for surprising news and perhaps turns of events and chance encounters. Be part of a group and accomplish something or meet similar people tonight. Wear turquoise.

Wednesday

The Aquarius Moon reaches 2nd quarter mark tonight, so it's meant to be a very productive and focused day. We tend to feel driven or even pressure this time of the month. There's a stubborn or persistent and meticulous streak as the Moon squares Jupiter in Taurus and the Scorpio Sun. We won't yield easily. Security may be a concern. Capricorn and Taurus might worry about job security while Aquarius might have home or family concerns, for example. We'll want to feel very solid in what we're doing and in our place among other people, work wise or socially. When the Moon is in Aquarius we often can envisions the future more easily. It's a good day to set and work toward goals. Blend logic and creativity. Mercury and Venus both move to Sagittarius today activating our free thinking, freedom seeking sides. Lots of changes come with Sagittarius energies, so expect people to announce that they've changed their minds or made decisions about significant things in the weeks ahead. Wear blue.

Thursday

The Moon is in Aquarius in harmony with Saturn. Structuring our ideas and thoughts is in the forecast. Get organized and make logical moves today. Meanwhile, our decisions may not be traditional or what's expected since planets newly in Sagittarius harmonize with Uranus in Aries. We'll tend to be original, possibly rebellious and think out of the box. Don't expect the usual or routine today. Yet, we're serious about even the craziest sounding plans! The unlikely and unexpected are very real today. Tonight the Moon is opposite Mars for some extreme attitudes and opinions. Opposites may strongly attract or repel! Leo and Aquarius have to work not to start relationship arguments while Sagittarius and Gemini must be careful about announcing plans that may set others off! Aries, be sensitive in friendship matters since your ties could be tested. The Moon meets Neptune activating dreams and imagination tonight. Wear red.

Friday

The Moon is in Pisces squaring Mercury and Venus newly in Sagittarius this week! This is very changeable and in some cases unreliable energy, so be careful what or whom you count on now. Change is the constant today and tomorrow. Different decisions will be made. We'll be fickle and may be unsettled or undecided. Jupiter in Taurus and Pluto in Capricorn attempt to provide reality checks and some grounding, but mostly we'll be spontaneous, last minute or late, and crave variety. Scorpio may enjoy some romance and luck under the Pisces Moon and may find the Sagittarius planets open possibilities for new or different work. Pisces and Sagittarius may be struggling some with decisions around career and home life. Gemini may have similar discussions and options and have to work things out to please others too. Tonight has potential as a date night, and Pisces and Virgos in long term relationships should go on long overdue date nights or have spontaneous weekend plans. Taurus, it's a good night to get out with friends. Leo, be aware of financial partnership and travel opportunities that may be presenting themselves now or soon. Wear green.

Saturday

The Pisces Moon leads to changes of mind or heart. We're emotionally connected with a Pisces Moon and Scorpio Sun in harmony for a romantic, passionate, understanding and potentially forgiving time. Take advantage of today to connect with people you care about or someone you hope to make a strong bond with. Cancer, Taurus, and Capricorn are other signs that might be feeling it, and Leo it's a sexy and psychic day for you! Sagittarius you may feel solitary more than other signs. The Moon and Sun improve our confidence and moods while working together, but people may be sensitve and easily affected by circumstances. We'll change plans, adjust to other people's needs, and possibly act spontaneously. Wear navy blue.

Sunday

The Moon starts in sensitive, romantic Pisces and moves to Aries at 2:02 pm EST. The morning hours are adaptable and it's best not to have a schedule. Even solid plans may have to change. People will tend to be late or oversleep. The Aries Moon enters with a competitive, take action attitude, and the afternoon is good for games if you can play for fun. Protect the head since Aries Moon time can be fast and a bit accident prone. Wear red.

Weekly October 24th

2011-10-18T21:09:00.001-04:00

Monday

The Moon moves to Libra, the sign of balance. We'll feel the need for moderation and everything right between us, however Uranus wouldn't mind shaking things up from the sign Aries. The result is a sense of disequilibrium. Today could be confusing or affected by opposing forces. Whether to compromise or not and how to react or respond at all are the questions! The Moon squares Pluto in Capricorn and we could be playing with fire or stirring a bees nest. Choose your battles or choose not to have any! There's a need for mediation and a calm non reactive attitude. For a Monday it's a decent night out. We're likely to want to be with people or at least one good friend rather than solo. Wear lavender.

Tuesday

The Moon is in Libra, sign of justice. Judge fairly though! We tend to be more impacted by appearances and can tend to be judgmental under Libra Moon. An impartial attitude is called for. The Moon works well with Mars in Leo, activating our sense of what's right and making us likely to fight for what's fair. The Moon meets Saturn later tonight, and that sense of wanting what we feel we have earned is very strong! It's best not to force agendas and don't take more than your fair share. On the other hand, be sure to put in equal work or effort if you're involved with partners or living with house mates or family. Some people will be outspoken today, especially in matters of justice. On this day before New Moon it's natural to do some serious rethinking. Wear blue.

Wednesday

The Moon is void of course in Libra from 8:18 until 11:08 am, and it's a New Moon in Scorpio at 3:56 pm. The void of course hours are a good time to be patient, wait things out, and save big announcements or changes. The New Moon this afternoon propels the rest of the week and beyond, fueling changes and firing us up to organize, make a move, or adopt a new way of operating and thinking. Venus is square to Mars today emphasizing how differently women and men think and act in the world. This can cause tension, and Scorpio, Leo, Aries, Libra and Taurus are most involved. Scorpio, this is an excellent time to make decisions and act on personal feelings and changes you've been gearing to make. Leo, this may affect your home and home life and take things in a new direction. You may also want to make upgrades and improvements there now. Sagittarius, you more than any other sign may need to wait and observe before making moves. Wear maroon today.

Thursday

The Moon meets Mercury in Scorpio in the wake of yesterday's New Moon. This is a big decision making day and a time of persistence and commitment. Do not take matters lightly! Scorpio is serious and focused, and this New Moon has those qualities so we must be sure of what we enter into or promise. Big matters of life come up for discussion and perhaps resolution. The Moon also squares Mars in Leo bringing out our strong opinions and differences. Explore perspective, preferably without judgement. This is a day and night to speak and listen and act or decide deliberately. Tonight is intense and no nonsense. Keep your head up a bit so nothing sneaks up on you. Wear indigo blue.

Friday

The Scorpio Moon is void of course from 7:49 to 10:46 am EST, and then shifts to Sagittarius. There's plenty of activity in the heavens today included Mercury square to Mars in Scorpio and Leo, and the Scorpio Sun opposite Jupiter. Those two in particular highlight more Scorpio type traits and actions including pressing for information and sticking strongly with opinions and agendas. Scorpio and Taurus are two signs that need to work things out and find middle ground or moderation while Sagittarius may also be feeling lots of focus if not pressure today. Sagittarius's thirst for freedom may be on hold while business is taken care of today. It's a good day to put time and effort in and act on the heels of this week's New Moon. Even tonight the pull to take care of things is strong especially if money or reputation are on the line. Once you find time for fun, the Sagittarius Moon loves a change from routine so plan something out of the ordinary or get out of your usual neighborhood. Wear red.

Saturday

The Sagittarius Moon puts us in the mood to seek adventure and different experiences today. Cultural and exotic places or things will be appealing. This is the sign of higher education and with Saturn also weighing in from Libra, it's a good day for learning experiences or to fill out school applications or travel documents. Some of us will book future travel too. Explore something even if it's through books or internet searches today. Otherwise, fulfill your sense of adventure with new foods, travel out of town or a good game of most anything. Wear purple.

Sunday

The Moon is void of course for the morning, crossing into Capricorn at 12:39 pm. The morning hours may be a bit lost or confusing. Make no promises and expect people to be late or forgetful. Reminders are good if there are important things to be done. The Capricorn Moon will meet Pluto which is certain to bring a reality check. It may feel like a lot needs to be accomplished today. Working with the hands either creatively or on repairs or organization will be satisfying. The Capricorn Moon has a structured, how-to attitude. Wear black.

Monday

A Gemini Moon signals a busy yet fairly easygoing day. Our energy may have to scatter in different directions. Saturn is weighing in from Libra again today. Harnessing mental energy and ideas and making something productive from them is the idea! Take brainstormed lists and whittle them down to the essential or best plans. Prioritize and tackle things one by one. Develop a system. The Moon and Sun, also in Libra, harmonize for confidence, social graces, and good decisions by daylight. Tonight Neptune could be like a fog rolling in so take action when you feel clearest and have no reservations today. We also have Mercury in Scorpio across from Jupiter in Taurus, urging some practical action and finding balance and moderation. Talk about how to act on big plans and ideas too. Don't expect to agree right off, but don't give up either. Taurus and Scorpio may find that in love and relationship while Leo and Aquarius may deal more with a home and/or career related discussion such as whether to move or how to move up in the sense of recognition or promotion. Tonight show offs will show their stuff and want to attract attention. And Neptune can exert his romantic influence making it a good date night for Libra and friendship night for Aries and Leo. Pisces is a home body tonight but may be very busy there. The Moon moves to Cancer at 9:38 pm after a short void of course time. Wear gold.

Tuesday

The Cancer Moon is a bit cranky with a square and an opposition overnight. A late night argument could set us off on what seems to be the wrong foot this morning. Unexpected news or a rehash of the past is likely to create those problems. The Moon is agreeable with Jupiter in Taurus and Mercury and Venus in Scorpio as the day goes on and it's very much a water sign's day (Cancer, Scorpio, Pisces). Keep people's feelings in mind and be sensitive to what's going on around you. Instincts should be good with the Moon aligned with Mercury. That can help if you're looking for information or to solve a mystery or answer a question that's been nagging. Tonight Venus acts with the passion of Scorpio, and this can be very romantic and loving but potentially possessive too. Ask yourself if your feelings are making you go too far or ruling your decisions. If not, enjoy the close connections we feel with the Moon and Venus aligned in water signs. It's also a creative, inspired night. Wear light blue.

Wednesday

The Moon is in Cancer and reaches the 4th quarter mark tonight. Saturn and the Sun in Libra both tangle with the Moon today. It might feel hard to make progress. There's a need for both patience and discipline and good reasons to play fair! In family matter particularly, make sure no one feels left out or criticized unjustly. Situations with the people we live with and the places we reside (for example leases, landlords, home purchases in progress) heat up. Work to resolve something today. When the Moon is in Cancer cooking comfort food and being in familiar places feels best. Err on the safe side today. Don't let emotions, yours or someone else's, get the better of you. Wear black.

Thursday

The Moon moves to shiny Leo at 6:06 am. Today is a high energy day with a mix of optimism, surprises, and stubborn tension in some cases too. Our hearts may seem to beat a little bit faster as the Moon combines forces with Uranus in Aries. It can be intense, so if you're not quite up to par today you might be overwhelmed. On the other hand, it can be wild excitement. The Moon and Jupiter square in fixed signs Leo and Taurus. This could lead us to be opinionated or impractical. Our ideals of how we think things should be could be challenged. Or we may struggle to figure out how to reach a goal. Generally we'll be thinking big today. Some of use will do things to attract attention. It's a good day to design an ad campaign or even a Halloween costume. Leo is the sign of creativity, so come up with a great plan and then start to carry it out! Wear orange.

Friday

It looks like a dynamic day, but not everyone will be in agreement as the Leo Moon squares planets in Scorpio. Tenacious, unyielding actions are the result. The Leo Moon also meets Mars, firing us up, but with either enthusiasm or a very determined streak that could cause us to run over other people or anything we determine to be an obstacle along the way. The positive side is high energy and will. The down side could be hurting feelings or being overly stubborn. There's a highly creative aspect and the feeling anything we set out to do can be accomplished with enough work, talent or charisma. Don't be shy today. Tonight the Sun and Neptune align for great ideas, cool plans, and a willingness to let go of worries and see the up side. It's a very social night out especially shining on Leo, Libra and Aquarius. Wear purple.

Saturday

The Moon is void of course in Leo from 8:34 am to 10:40 am and then in earthy Virgo for the rest of the weekend. The Leo Moon and Sun in Libra start us off with optimism. It's a people person's day. Leo, Libra, Sagittarius and Aries may enjoy social events and new acquaintances or friends if the opportunity presents. The Virgo Moon works well with Pluto in Capricorn and Jupiter in Taurus and we can really get all kinds of things done, around the home, in the yard, and even just work together well. Find a sense of accomplishment and/or enjoy the outdoors today. Wear brown.

Sunday

The Virgo Moon is in harmony with Venus and Mercury in Scorpio which is very beneficial in relationships. Communication opens up and we're more likely to talk, forgive, and resolve things together. Virgo and Pisces may notice this in long term relationships. Taurus may be in a very sociable mood. We're likely to feel helpful, generous, and in some cases just warm up more to people, situations or ideas. It's the end of Libra birthdays as the Sun moves to Scorpio at 2:30 pm marking the height of autumn in the next few weeks. We tend to withdraw a bit to our own personal concerns and do some nesting with the Sun in Scorpio. You may feel more organized now as well. Today is a good day to get things in order. The Moon is void of course from 4:47 pm until 11:49 am EST on Monday. Tonight is perfect for relaxing or taking care of routine things. Wear navy blue.

Monday

The Moon moves to this month's Full Moon sign, Aries, at 8:57 am and meets Uranus a few hours later. This is combustible energy, and Full Moon news and events are likely to burst! Aries is an action starter, blazing new trails. Aries is the sign of the warrior, ruled by Mars, and this whole Full Moon time will be oriented that way. We'll fight for what we want and are likely to rebel against the stagnant or standard. Today and tomorrow people are likely to be easily agitated or triggered. It can be difficult to prepare for days that will bring surprises and call for quick responses. Today try not to be impulsive or overly reactive. Consider that tempers may be short and explosive. There's anxiety in the air! The Moon squares Pluto tonight and we'll consider how to arrange things best and deal with the practical part of life, for example how best to make something work. The best use of today is to try a new approach, unveil a new creation, or break positive though maybe surprising news gently. The Moon is Full Tuesday night at 10:06 pm. Wear red today.

Tuesday

This Aries Full Moon forms a trine to Mars in Leo. An overabundance of fire energy ensures a very active, possibly even aggressive day. There will be strong impulses and desires to go after what we want, forcefully, actively, and in some cases aggressively. Aries, Libra (where the Sun is), Leo (where Mars is), and Scorpio (the other planet ruled by Mars) will probably feel the eye of the Full Moon hurricane, intensely. Those are also the signs that will go after goals aggressively or shout loudly if not satisfied. Scorpio, this relates to your sectors of career and work as well as any leadership roles you have. Leo, this Full Moon is in your area of philosophy of life and worldly opportunities for example studies and travels. You could be in the midst of a spiritual or philosophical crisis or change of ideals. Libra, this is about long term love and commitments and very important partnerships. You're prime to undergo a status change, a make or break time. Aries, that may also be true for you, but more importantly this is about your sense of self, confidence, and ability to both lead and adapt. News that comes now may be very personal to you. We can all expect catalysts for necessary change. Sagittarius this Full Moon in your sector of fortune may bring a mixed opportunity, like a blessing in disguise. It may also implicate friendships and other relationships, which you may alter in order to move ahead. Tonight is a potentially wild Full Moon night so go about things with your head up. Saturn attempts to provide some sanity and structure late night, particularly related to finding harmony or consensus. Aries rules the head so protect it if the situation calls for that! You can accredit today's headaches to this Aries Full Moon too. Wear white.

Wednesday

Today is a mixed day as we are still in the Full Moon Aries zone. Saturn activated with the Moon overnight pushes for justice in matters that need to be decided now. For many of us the day may start with negotiating or dealing with contracts, legalities, laws or otherwise serious things. Another very different influence at work is Mercury, also in Libra sign of Justice, working with Neptune in Aquarius. Neptune will also aspect the Aries Moon today. This planet can put a shiny gloss on things and make them appear better than they seem. Watch out for what looks good on the surface but may be unstable underneath. Also, be wary of what's true and don't act without very solid proof of facts. Mercury and Neptune may help if you need to be creative with words in the form of excuses, apologies or the writing of fiction! The illusory influences at work and the Full Moon say proceed with caution in business and be careful with what you sign off on or agree to! The Aries Moon is opposite Mercury for plenty of discussion and negotiating tonight. Try to find middle ground, but with caution. Avoid being impulsive. The Moon moves to Taurus at 9:35 pm and the Full Moon effect should being to wear off. Hunker down tonight and find your comfort zone. Wear yellow.

Thursday

Mercury moves to Scorpio today, where the planet of communication acts a private investigator, mystery expert, and supreme organizer of information for the next few weeks. If you're planning anything big like buying a car or a house or signing a new lease, the next Mercury retrograde begins on Thanksgiving Day in the USA, November 24th, so plan accordingly. Now is a good time to make agreements and major purchases versus late November and early to mid December. This is also a better time to get accurate information. The Moon is in Taurus opposite Venus in Scorpio and relationships are one of today's focuses. The need to find agreement is strong. Both signs are strong willed and passionate as well as persistent and stubborn. Strong personalities may clash. There is attraction and good chemistry in the air too however, and with the Moon meeting Jupiter we'll feel very strongly and may act accordingly, without holding back! The Moon and Jupiter together puts emphasis on Leo career, Aries prosperity, Pisces contracts and learning, and Taurus personal plans and good fortune. Tonight, the Sun and Saturn have a significant meeting in Libra, saying this is the time to make an agreement, a serious commitment, or even a division of property that involves two or more parties. The key tonight is justice and balance. There's no fooling around when Saturn is involved. Expect that obligations and your word have major implications. Effort counts tonight. Wear lavender.

Friday

The Taurus Moon squares Mars in Leo. Progress will come with hard work today. Effort is required for most anything, particularly if you're trying to get strong personalities to collaborate or agree. We'll need to put time and elbow grease into anything we hope to accomplish as well as into events such as hosting either work or social gatherings. Things may not just fall together easily. Pay attention to the details and expect you may be revising. The Taurus Moon likes comfort and familiarity but we may have to push into unfamiliar territory today. Tonight Venus is opposite Jupiter and we'll want to see the big, bright, glorious side of things, but stay practical and don't get too caught up in what glitters! Love lives may get exciting and eventful too! We could tend to overdo things tonight. Moderation may be a good idea! Wear pink.

Saturday and Sunday

The Moon is in Gemini both days with an emphasis on communication. We may feel indecisive, yet Saturn weighs in from Libra urging mature courses of action. Socially the Gemini Moon in harmony with planets in Leo, Aries and Libra fuel outgoing attitudes and willingness to meet or mix with people we've not yet met. Plans may be fickle and change at will. Saturday's color is blue. Sunday's is white.

Monday

After a few hours void of course, the Moon moves to Capricorn at 4:16 am. There's a mix of influences at work today, with both challenges and potential progress. Capricorn is an industrious sign and a feeling of wanting to get things done and see results rules the day. The Moon meets Pluto which can always be a little bit dark or involve complications or mysteries. Coping rather than hiding from those situations is probably the best plan since these are things that crop up over and over until dealt with. The Moon and Jupiter in Taurus work together to help with practical and prosperous ways to handle problems. Capricorn Moon time often brings up matters of money and security. Keep in mind that other people will have this as a priority even if you're focused otherwise. Today will include business agreements, sales and deals. With both Uranus an Pluto involved, we may be dealing with unexpected things or situations we hoped to avoid. The 2nd quarter Moon arrives tonight and it's meant for progress, steps toward goals, and tangible results even if the final product is still unfinished. Work industriously. Take a how to approach rather than seeing road blocks. Go around something instead of hitting the wall. Wear gray.

Tuesday

The Capricorn Moon squares Mercury, Saturn, and later over night, Venus. Squares bring up issues and sometimes cause us to make right hand turns, as in 90 degree angles. Expect you'll have to shift and adjust to make things work today. The biggest issues are communication and fairness with relationship concerns moving in too as the day and night go on. There's plenty to discuss, try and sort out. work out, and consider as you make decisions. Getting all facts and information is important. Try not to act with out data to back you up. Other people's wants and opinions are likely to come into play. If you enjoy problems and puzzles, you may like this, but if you hope for no questions or road blocks, today could be frustrating. We're still aiming for progress and good work ethic and willingness to take responsibility helps today. All of this Capricorn energy has Cancer working hard at partnership matters with a big helping of home related issues on the side. Scorpio and Taurus you may be working out contracts and some major plans. Libra, home and family related things are up for discussion with solutions not just talk. Today's color is brown.

Wednesday

The Moon is void of course from 1:58 am to 11:18 am. If the day gets a shaky start or you're up on the wrong side of the bed (or if other people are!), things may sort out more after 11:18 when the Moon shifts to logical Aquarius. The Moon aspects only Uranus, which can be a catalyst for things happening fast and without much notice. We are likely to take an active approach with quick decisions and responses, but Aquarius Moon is not usually impulsive so things should be well thought out already. Aquarius Moon definitely thinks out of the box though, and traditional, expected approaches may be scrapped for unorthodox ways of dealing with problems or making things happen. Leo, Aquarius, Aries, Sagittarius, Gemini and Libra may feel most in their element and be more comfortable with changes or other events of the day. An adventurous attitude and not too much drama will help! Wear turquoise.

Thursday

The Moon is in Aquarius and today long term agreements can be put into place. Late in the day Mercury and Saturn meet in Libra, and things we've been negotiating or trying to decide for a while get the go ahead. Don't enter commitments lightly though. With Saturn involved and the Moon in fixed Aquarius, our promises and obligations will be expected to stick. Today is fertile for serious planning, contracts, and settlements. Mercury and Saturn in Libra are logical and analytical, and that is today's best approach. The Moon opposes Mars meaning some disputes could take place in the process of decision we make today. However, the Moon and Sun work together boosting our confidence and helping us work things out fairly and with vision for the future. Tonight is more serious business, from personal matters to studies and making progress with projects. It's a better work than play night. Wear blue.

Friday

The Moon stays in Aquarius until 9:13 pm. If you couldn't reach consensus or were holding out on a decision yesterday, today could be the day to solidify things as the Moon is in agreement with planets in Libra including Mercury (decisions, communication), Saturn (obligations, responsibilities) and Venus (partnerships, relationship). Make the best use of this Aquarius Moon by finding solutions and making plans, perhaps in advance of Full Moon demands and due dates that will come next week. Use logic. Tonight Venus and Neptune rule the night so romance is in the air! It's a great night for events or activities involving music and the arts, also ruled by those two planets. It may be easy to let worries and cares go for a while. Wear pink.

Saturday

The Moon is in Pisces in harmony with Pluto in Capricorn and Jupiter in Taurus. A mix of earth and water sign influences can help us channel emotions productively instead of sulking or lashing out. The two planets urge us to act constructively. Decisions and important talks are best had early if you want to remember the details or make some kind of promise since the Moon is void of course from 12:51 pm on. Shop early too if possible! Today an escape of some kind will be appealing whether than means a movie or a short road trip out of town. Wear green.

Sunday

The Moon is void of course in Pisces, and today is meant mostly for relaxation and simple recreational fun. Creative pastimes are also favored, but nothing too heavy or scheduled. Take your time with everything and don't pressure other people either. We need time to do our own thing at our own pace. Venus moves to Scorpio overnight and Venus in Scorpio shows her very passionate but also very possessive side. Avoid being compulsive or reactive about relationships. Jealousy and other intense feelings re more likely to surface now and affairs may also find the right conditions to begin. Venus in Scorpio is mysterious, deeply feeling, and sexy but with a certain edge. Wear indigo blue.

Monday

The Moon is in Virgo, void of course all day. Getting healthier, more organized and activating other traits we value in ourselves is a good plan. It's not the best day for major decisions, but it is a good day to take steps toward goals. Tomorrow's New Moon helps us launch those plans and fuels new routines and habits. Today make small changes and prepare. Lend a friend or co-worker a hand. Scorpio may find mutual favors or a trade of services works. Aries and Libra, take care of routine at work, and in your personal life, anything related to health is worth pursuing. Leo, float out resumes and explore job options though today is not the best for an interview because you may be forgotten or overlooked. We should all follow up on and back up everything today. People may be forgetful. Gemini, remember what you need to do at home or for a family member. Tonight organize and prepare for whatever tomorrow's New Moon means to you. It arrives early! Wear brown.

Tuesday

The Moon moves to Libra at 12:51 am EST and the New Moon in Libra arrives at 7:09 am. A New Moon in Libra can be a fresh start for couples or partners and renewed plans and negotiation in general. Mercury and the Moon are opposite Uranus so unlikely turns of events are forecast and you may be surprised to be revisiting a legal matter or disagreement, seemingly from out of nowhere. The Moon meets Mercury and everything is up for discussion. Communication is opened up and topics are laid on the table. Much of this may have to do with two people or two parties looking for compromise or solutions. This is also a time to initiate new partnerships and get things off the ground. The Moon and Pluto say organize ideas and be fair and realistic. It may not be great to dredge up the past, but instead to move ahead. Tonight the Moon is approaching Venus putting love, romance, potential for reconciliation and other matters of partnership in the forefront into tomorrow. Wear pink.

Wednesday

The Libra Moon meets Saturn for serious business where legalities and others matters of Justice are concerned. Be very logical and just in dealings today. Use maturity, discretion, and moderation as guides. It's a good day to ask for wise advice. Pluto is active from Capricorn, squaring the Libra Sun and Mercury really bringing up topics for consideration and negotiation. It's a day of contracts and commitments, discussions and resolutions. The Sun helps keep things positive and fair. We won't appreciate being judged today, and if you do that you may be called out on your own shortcomings or faults. Tonight, we're influenced by the Sun's expressive meeting with Mercury and the atmosphere is talkative and lively. The Moon is aligned with Neptune increasing that social aspect and helping us connect with collaborators, groups, and teams. Wear lavender.

Thursday

The Moon is in Scorpio from 12:05 am through Friday. Scorpio Moon time tends to bring focus, if not obsessiveness. We're likely to be very driven about our primary concerns. Mercury in Libra and Mars in Leo align for a make it happen attitude. Everything is up for discussion and decisions, and there should be some enthusiasm involved too! The Moon square to Mars can be stubborn, but action taken now has long term effects and longevity, so it's a good time to bother and put the effort in. One question today is about scale-how much, how big, how long should be addressed with Jupiter opposite the Moon looking for some balance or middle ground. Tonight Venus meets Saturn and relationships and action we take involving romantic or business partners gets serious. Be sure you mean what you say or do tonight. Wear black.

Friday

The Scorpio Moon is good for delving into projects and plans and really bringing focus to matters at hand. The Libra Sun aligns with Mars and what we felt yesterday we may be likely to act more definitely on today. There's an expressive nature and move on things approach in the air. Libra and Leo are signs that dress to express and impress. Fashion related purchases and business and simply dressing the part is in the forecast so know your audience! We'll tend to do things all the way today with no holds or apologies. Tonight, the Moon squares Neptune and we may be too idealistic or dream up things we can't quite follow through on. Ask yourself if the plan is realistic as you go forward. Creative process and collaboration is also likely tonight, with different approaches to mesh for original or best results. Wear maroon.

Weekly September 19th

2011-09-17T10:57:00.003-04:00

Monday

The Gemini Moon aligns with Saturn for self discipline and structure. Take wild ideas or too many thoughts and prioritize and sorting them. Saturn says forget about what's not logical or sane and stick with what will help you make progress. Today is favorable for writing, studying and discussing plans, perhaps even settling on one or two! Gemini is the sign of communication, brothers and sisters and short distance travels. Plan a long weekend, a business trip, or a trip back home. Schedule visits, tours, and even exams. It's a decent day to take a test, recall information, respond in writing and or reply to emails and invitations. Call family members who may be waiting to hear from you, particularly if you're a Pisces or Aries. Gemini, the focus is on you for planning and discussions, and your ruling planet Mercury is square to the Moon in your sign at 5:30 pm EST. The afternoon and evening are about trying to communicate clearly and effectively. Virgo, you may relate this most to your career or other leadership roles. Challenging conversations might be tackled tonight. Broach uncomfortable topics. This is about getting out of our comfort zones in order to generate solutions and open up discussions that need to be had. Sagittarius and Pisces, this may be going on in your closest relationships. Today's color is blue.

Tuesday

The 4th quarter Moon arrives at 9:39 am EST. This is often a time of rethinking and going over recent details, plans or events. With the Gemini Moon this morning we could overthink or put too much focus on whether we've made the right choices. The Moon square to the Sun creates some nervous energy. Virgo and Gemini may notice that a lot and it can take the form of physical symptoms. Take it easy and don't feel like you have to know everything right now. At 12:33 pm the Moon aligns with deceptive but dreamy Neptune and we can become forgetful or find an escape for a couple of hours. Between then and 2:53 pm important purchases and decisions are not recommended. The Cancer Moon arrives at 2:53 and we may settle into one mood or another. Tonight is domestic and taking care of personal business or concerns will be a priority. If you're trying to get an answer or fire friends up for fun you may have your work cut out! Uranus in Aries squares the Moon, and Cancer you may be worried about competition or being outshone or usurped. Capricorn, home related news may baffle of confuse you. Let information settle before reacting too quickly since Cancer Moon is a sensitive time and can result in grudges. Wear white.

Wednesday

Under the Cancer Moon we tend to react to changes in people, moods and our environment, and today is very changeable. We may become moody or shift throughout the day. The Moon opposite Pluto isn't always pleasant and a square to Venus in Libra makes for relationship disagreements. Dealing with things we wish we could avoid appears inevitable especially in the early hours. The Moon aligning with Jupiter helps boost moods some and makes outlooks brighter, especially if you feel like you're getting something accomplished. The key to the day is to not get pulled down by influences you can't control and focus on making improvements despite other circumstances. Pluto sometime throws the deep, dark or buried out into the open. Try not to let a skeleton from your closet or someone else's freak you out. Leave the past in the past. Tonight may be hard work especially if family or relationship issues are involved. Try not to sidestep but to deal fairly and realistically. Wear black.

Thursday

The Cancer Moon is in harmony with Mercury today. This is good for meetings, making plans, studies, and communication in general. At home, have a conversation to ease any tension and work through a to-do list. At work, make conservative business decisions and try to keep co-workers' and clients' feelings in mind. Blend personal with business or work effectively. Creatively, it's a good day to express through music, art, on stage or in the kitchen. Rehearse and memorize material. The Moon moves to Leo at 9:55 after just 23 minutes void of course. Leo Moon time is suited to gatherings and parties, yet tonight is still good for work that requires creativity and focus. This is the last night of summer officially, and as the Moon approaches Mars, there's a feeling of anything goes! Tonight should be fun! Wear purple.

Friday

The Leo Moon meets Mars overnight, firing us up for a high energy Friday! The urge to compete, play, and take action is strong! It's a fire signs day, so Sagittarius and Aries are also included as the instigators and action starters while Scorpio also has the fired up feeling and may be a leader or just feeling on top of the world today. Mars and Uranus are interacting so we do need to use a bit of caution in any potentially dangerous situations. Take precautions around hazardous situations or even around volatile people. Wear seat belts and crash helmets literally or otherwise! News could get exciting or chaotic. The Sun moves to Libra indicating the Autumnal Equinox at 5:05 am, and with this new season and a New Moon approaching on Tuesday, there's planning and reconsidering to be done. Prepare to launch or announce something new. Tonight the Moon harmonizes with Venus the planet of love. It's a couples' night so make a date, even with a best friend if there's no romantic plan. Romance is very much in the air though, and the Leo Moon is about fun and festivity and overdoing it a bit. Wear gold.

Saturday

The Leo Moon is in harmony with Saturn , so while Leo Moon time is meant for fun, Saturn helps with any serious issues or business, encouraging responsibility and fairness in what we take on today. The Moon is opposite Neptune in Aquarius activating creativity, imagination and playfulness. It's a good day to make up games, improvise, and take out the art supplies! Leo is also loyal and strong bringing out those traits in us. If there's a down side today it's that some situations and people will be hard to trust so use good discretion and don't just hand over money or information unless you're certain. Wear orange.

Sunday

The Moon moves to Virgo at 12:39 am. Today is meant for work and prosperity. Do things that yield tangible results. A practical, reality based outlook is called for with the Moon in harmony with Pluto in Capricorn and Jupiter in Taurus. The Jupiter effect is optimistic, and we may go about tasks happily, feeling like we're accomplishing something even if it's hard work. Building, fixing, cleaning, and studying are all favored as is any outdoor work or time in nature. The Sun opposite Uranus may strike like lightning with flashes of inspiration or sudden understanding especially tonight. It could disturb the balance, but it may also lead to the next big move. Libra, this happens directly in your sign and is also about relationship. Aries, you get that same effect, while Virgo and Pisces may related on a work or financial lever. Leo, the Sun always impacts you, and this time it's about possibilities for new opportunities, travels, and potentially educational plans as well as a change in outlook. Mercury moves to Libra at 5:09 pm and the Moon is void of course from3:47 pm until after midnight, on Tuesday EST. Those hours may tend toward confusion.

Monday

The Moon is Full in Pisces at 5:27 am. The weekend had optimistic aspects, easing us into this very emotional and relationship oriented Full Moon. We have Mercury in harmony with Pluto in Virgo and Capricorn seeking solutions and hoping for discussions and conversations about important matters. Mars is weighing in from Cancer with a word about family issues and urges to express things that are blocked or held back. Pisces Full Moon opposes Venus raising concerns and exaggerating feelings about our closest relationships. The people and things nearest and dearest to us take priority. It may be hard to concentrate on other business and work today, but whatever is happening, we're seeking solutions that take emotions into consideration as well as plans we can all live with. The Full Moon in Pisces is compassionate. It's a good day for outdoor activities from fishing and planting to time by the lake or sea. Today is meant to be reflective, spiritual, and sensitive. Find places and things to do that have a calming effect. The Moon is void of course from 9:45 pm into the wee hours. Easy does it tonight. Too much pressure may not yield what you're hoping for. Today's color is white.

Tuesday

The Aries Moon kicks in, accelerating and shifting our gears at 2:49 am EST. Meeting Uranus at 8:49 am, this Aries Moon could be a rude awakening or just call to action. News and events will let us know we can't hold off or delay something any longer. Yesterday's sensitivity could turn sour today if we feel overwhelmed or pushed too hard. The Moon squares Pluto in Capricorn and realities, potentially facts too hard to swallow, set in. What to do and who should take care of and responsibility for things is in question and may create struggles and disagreements. Temper that need to act fact with some rational thought today. This may feel more like a Full Moon than yesterday when it comes to extremes. Do take action. Avoid overreaction, impulsive moves, and anger. Today is unapologetic and we'll tend to move on quickly, in some cases burning a bridge. Aquarius and Capricorn, family news and other declarations you may not have expected come early this week. Pisces, you are in the throws of relationship as well as employment and money things to figure out and may feel that your plate is loaded. Aries, take it slow and keep some things to yourself until you are really ready or sure. Today's color is red.

Wednesday

The Aries Moon is opposite Saturn bringing up legal and other matters of justice up for resolution, possibly immediately. There's a serious and timely nature that says deal with this now. Much of this has been pending for months, most likely. Find compromise or consensus and put an end to disagreements maturely. This opposition is about finding the right answer, the fair judgment. Mercury and Jupiter align helping with productive solutions and encouraging conversations. Today is about negotiating a good deal for everyone. Be willing to give in a little in order to reach an agreement, divide assets, and gain the freedom to move ahead rather than stay in stubborn circumstances. Aries and Libra host the action, and Capricorn with Saturn as your ruling planet you're likely to know exactly what this is all about too. Tonight, Mercury and Jupiter also favor writing and studies and practical problem solving. Virgo, Sagittarius and Taurus may find tonight most productive and feel like something important is riding on the outcome. Wear yellow.

Thursday

The Moon starts out in Aries square to Mars and there's plenty of reason to expect confrontation and frustrations. Mars, Aries ruling planet, is uncomfortable in more passive and/or emotional Cancer. Things we've been holding in may come out in bursts with temper or tears. There's a strong need to confront things in a productive way, but this Aries energy can be impulsive and say or do without enough thought or rationality. The Cancer energy can add that element of feeling easily slighted or unable to say or do what's needed and instead wallow in self pity. Avoid being a bully or a victim today. There's a tendency toward either! Neptune in Aquarius may put a gloss over things, in harmony with the Moon in early afternoon ( 1:10 pm EST) and then the Moon is void of course until Taurus Moon begins at 3:25 pm. The Taurus Moon helps get our feet back on the ground and settle us after the Full Moon fallout which may have felt stronger than the Full Moon itself did! If things have been too fast and furious, take it down a notch tonight and look for plans and resolutions you can activate tomorrow when the aspects are just right for breaking bad patterns or habits and finding real long term solutions. Solid, grounded, productive, comfort zone is the place to be tonight. Today's color is green.

Friday

The universe appears harmonious today, and practical earth sign energy is at work. The Taurus Moon meets expansive Jupiter and collaborates with Mercury in Virgo and Pluto in Capricorn. Calling upon all our earth sign type traits should be easier. That includes being productive, constructive and helpful. Mercury is urging us to look for workable solutions and to make plans. Aim for flexible options with long term positive effects. Taurus, today's Moon sign, is fixed and so decisions matter and tend to stick. Make promises you're fairly certain you can keep. Be persistent in quitting bad habits. This is also a good day for outdoor work, gardening and being in the kitchen. Taurus enjoys indulgences and tonight eating and drinking together is a comforting and satisfying way to end a work week that began with a Full Moon. Release tension with good food and trusted friends. Wear brown.

Saturday

The Moon is in Taurus in harmony with the Virgo Sun for confidence and the feeling we can make things happen! Today can be very productive and is solid for decisions you can stick with. The real story of the day is more likely to be Venus opposite Uranus in Libra/ Aries which is very much about relationship surprises including status changes or sudden news or awareness. In some cases this will feel like the final straw or the pivotal moment where everything changes. This can range from friendship turning to romance, possibly for Sagittarius or Gemini, or sudden attraction between people who seem unlikely partners, maybe Libra or Aries. This can also signal the end though if there's an event like a partner's unfaithfulness or revelation of true feelings or lack thereof. By the end of the weekend we may all have new news about the couples around us, dissolving or forming romances and liasons. Wear pink.

Sunday

The Moon moves to Gemini at 4:06 am revealing our busy and fickle natures. Many things may call for our attention today and it may be hard to decide or prioritize. The Gemini Moon works with Venus in Libra for flirtations and romance and also a way with words and self expression. Today is a good day to convince someone. The Moon and Uranus align continuing news and surprises along the lines of yesterday's action. We're more likely to reveal or announce things quickly today. Venus is square to Pluto tonight and relationship is once again in the forefront with things to be worked out including situations of a very practical nature. Mars moves into Leo tonight where the warrior planet is more confident and action oriented. Some stuck points and passivity should go by the way side in the weeks ahead. Wear yellow.

Monday

The Sagittarius Moon inspires us to get out of stuck places, explore new ideas or places, and generally take an adventurous attitude. This is also the sign of higher education so taking care of new routines, organization, and applications for schools or programs is appropriate today. The Moon in harmony with Mercury in Leo is active, outgoing, festive and also expressive. Today has a brave, bold streak. Use it to plunge into something you might normally shy away from. Tonight the Moon and Neptune in Sagittarius and Aquarius put us in an open minded, worldly mood. Planning new endeavors, travel and other things you need to envision are worth working toward. It's also a nice night socially. The Moon is void of course from 8:30 to 10:03 pm and it's transition time before the ambitious, productive nature of Capricorn Moon sets in. Wear green.

Tuesday

The Capricorn Moon sets us up well for back to business today. The Moon and Uranus combined mean we're likely to deal with last minute and unanticipated things early on. This could create strain and struggles for control. Try to ease in and not over react. Take a minute to think before you speak or act. The Moon meets Pluto for serious business and heavy considerations. Later in the day Jupiter throws in more optimism and a can do attitude. It might feel like one thing after another today. Take one thing at a time and use Capricorn's realistic, coping skills and influence. Other people may not be very sensitive or understanding of excuses and errors today. A little bit of perfectionism and a very responsible approach will be helpful. Tonight is work and organization oriented, but with a happy attitude and an eye toward progress and prosperity. Wear black.

Wednesday

The Capricorn Moon in harmony with the Virgo Sun makes this a good decision making day especially before 4:35 pm EST when the Moon moves void of course. Confidence should be high and the ability to adapt to circumstances strengthened, and with Venus also in harmony with the Moon our personal relationships and their impact on decisions and other business may be improved. The Moon and Saturn may make justice an issue so act in fairness. The Moon is opposite Mars in cancer before moving void of course for the evening. This can bring up things we're unsettled or upset about and tonight the likelihood of being on opposing sides increases. We might feel like we can't fight our way out of a paper bag tonight. Go easy if frustrations abound. The void of course Moon is not the best time to take action anyway. Save it for morning. Wear brown.

Thursday

The Moon moves into Aquarius at 5:42 am EST. One trait this activates is our ability to envision. It's a good day for planning and design. Set your sights on something ahead and take steps in that direction. Aquarius is a strong willed and deliberate sign. Will and perseverance and attention to detail combined with global ideas and vision help us get what we strive for now. Again, we may find people are not very sensitive, but under Aquarius Moon we are likely to work together and form teams or communities or groups to accomplish common goals. Mercury is opposite Neptune so we may have some trouble uncovering the truth and the facts today. There's a tendency to want to gloss over flaws or problems or even the real truth. Don't assume things are as they appear. There's a sense of illusion that can be creative and see beyond the tangible, but we have to be careful where trust is concerned. Cancer and Capricorn, note that in business and financial matters today. Pisces and Virgo, friends may tell you what they think you want to hear. Tonight is good for group meetings, team work, and making future plans. Wear turquoise.

Friday

The Moon is in logical Aquarius, and Mercury moves forward into Virgo where the August retrograde began. The next few days are about clearing up confusion and cleaning up and repairing where things went awry or broke down in August. That includes communication, things we have in writing and dates that were scheduled then. The Moon in harmony with Saturn urges a well thought out approach and a mature outlook. A get it over with or get it done attitude is likely, taking emotion out of the equation. Mercury is practical, flexible and analytical in Virgo. Try not to over-think problems that need to be solved. Just try something and see if it works. Tonight, big group gatherings and events are appealing. Wear blue.

Saturday

The Moon is in Aquarius, meets Neptune at 1:32 pm and then is void of course until 3:26 pm. The morning hours are best for detailed work or thought. Decisions will be made more solidly under Aquarius Moon. Neptune provides an escapist or creative influence and movies, music, photography, art and other things that lift us beyond the ordinary are in the forecast too. This afternoon it could be easy to lose track of time or other things. The Pisces Moon from 3:26 on continues that vibe and opposes Mercury at 9:06 pm EST. Avoid being overly trusting and take things slow in terms or getting to know new people or situations. Trust your instincts and realize the truth may be disguised. Do creative things or get into a good book or film. Our imaginations are activated. Venus and Mars help relationships along and tonight a date is well timed. Wear green.

Sunday

The Moon is in creative, spiritual Pisces in harmony with Pluto and Jupiter in earth signs. Those planets ground Pisces Moon dreaminess some, making it easier to accomplish something if necessary. It's also a good day to get together with friends, work on things you really care about and have emotional attachment to, and enjoy time outdoors if the weather is cooperating. Pisces Moon time is good for planting, fishing and other similar work or activities. Venus and Mars still have relationship and good chemistry between us in the forecast for Virgo, Cancer, Taurus, and Pisces especially. Wear light blue.

The Moon is in Virgo and we're in New Moon mode. See the Virgo Moon post below. The New Moon in Virgo favors versatility in thinking and decision making. Look for new ways to approach old problems. Concrete information and solutions may be available now that Mercury is direct in Leo, and the Virgo Moon and Jupiter in Taurus work constructively and practically together. Good fortune is in the air, and while today is optimistic we should stay realistic and avoid being excessive and exaggerating. The Moon and Venus meet for resolving differences, forgiveness in relationships, and reconciliation or forward movement, whichever is most appropriate and healthy. The New Moon in Virgo is very much related to health, good habits and reorganization too. Work on those things tonight as well as taking care of personal and family situations.

Tuesday

An earthy, warm connected feeling dominates the first half of the day. Make a date, do something positive, plant and create! The Libra Moon moves in and puts our one on one relationships in the forefront priority wise. It's also a good time to redecorate, paint, work with color and beautify the environments. Allow things to flow rather than pushing or forcing an agenda.

The Libra Moon meets Saturn and squares Mars in Cancer. Go for balanced and sane solutions and agreements with this action in the sign of balance and justice. Weight pros and cons. Make serious or conservative decisions. If necessary re-establish rules or boundaries. Cancer may relate this more to family relationships and home life while Virgo and Pisces may see this in business dealings. Gemini, be fair in friendships and logical generally. Pisces particularly could be dealing with resolving legal, partnership, and other financial matters. Work and decide with plenty of information and advice. Capricorn, be mature and responsible at work and in other public and leadership roles. You're in the spotlight for attention and you want it to be the right kind! Tonight the Moon and Mercury in Leo align for a social, fun night out. Libra, Aries, and Leo are tonight's social butterflies. Wear light blue.

Thursday

The Libra Moon is in harmony with Neptune in Aquarius for creativity and vision as the day begins. We may don rose colored glasses and choose to overlook a fault or mistake. Acting rationally is the best plan though Neptune can lean toward escapism. Try to balance your point of view or wishes with the perspective of someone else. A reality check may be necessary so we don't lose our better judgement. The Moon is void of course shortly from 1:35 pm to 2:48 pm and then in Scorpio. The Scorpio Moon provides enormous focus and while in harmony with Pluto in Capricorn can bring out a very driven part of us. Still fueled by a New Moon Sunday night, we can use this powerful push to our advantage and delve deeply into anything important. Respect a do not disturb sign or feeling tonight. Expect some intensely fixed energy from passion to ambition tonight and tomorrow. Scorpio, this is very personal to you while Capricorn may be driven to lead and sway others in a certain direction. Aquarius, put energy into career goals. Wear indigo blue.

Friday

The Moon is in Scorpio directly opposite Jupiter in Taurus. We may tend toward excess or exaggeration. Inner struggle could be the result if you're trying to talk yourself out of something, scale back, or leave a bad habit or addiction behind. In love and relationship, we'll tend to be extreme too, and disagreements may be stubborn and strong, but passion is in the air too! Opposites may seem to attract. Venus is in harmony with the Moon encouraging us to go for it! Put yourself in the way of someone you're attracted to. Virgo, Capricorn, Taurus and Scorpio are likely to be feeling the attraction. Jupiter aligns with the Sun in Virgo tonight for a feeling of good fortune and maybe even fate. It's a decent night to work too, with prosperity in favor. Wear maroon.

Saturday

Today is well suited to travel and new experiences as Jupiter aligned with the Sun late last night and the Moon moves to Sagittarius at 5:03 pm. If the early hours are tense and include disagreements or struggles due to the Moon square Mercury and Neptune, things should brush by quickly as the Sagittarius Moon moves in late afternoon. Respect boundaries and privacy the first half of the day while the Moon is in Scorpio and some adjustments are likely to cause debate or thought. The Sagittarius Moon aligns with Uranus and favor spontaneous action, adventures and even parties in the evening. Wear red.

Sunday

The Sagittarius Moon squares the Sun and Venus. In relationships and personal decisions we may not know quite how we feel! Independence versus commitment may be an issue. The Sun and Venus in Virgo are warm and sexy, yet can be critical of a partner or lover's faults. A little space could help. Sagittarius Moon is not always the best time for lovers. It is a good Moon sign for new adventures and last minute plans. Try something out of the ordinary today even if it's a different food or a little trip out of your usual circuit. More global travel may also be appealing and Saturn from Libra helps with decisions and research related to future plans. Today's color is purple.

New Moon in Virgo Sunday, August 28th & 29th

2011-08-28T13:26:00.000-04:00

The New Moon in Virgo is worthy of it's own blog post. The Moon and Sun meet in Virgo at 11:04 pm EST as Mercury has just stationed direct in Leo on Friday. Mercury began the retrograde in Virgo and will be retracing those degrees soon. The push for resolution & forward movement is very strong! Allow for flexibility and avoid negativity and criticism during this time since Virgo can be prone to perfectionism and holds very high expectations generally. As a mutable sign, Virgo's gift is versatility and drawing on that quality will greatly ease anxiety and help situations flow naturally and benefit even those of us not dealing with Mercury retrograde confusion and clean up.

The arrival of a New Moon just as Mercury prepares to move forward seems very auspicious and well timed, and with Venus just a few degrees ahead in the same sign, blessings, reconciliations, and positive feelings should be abundant. Our eyes may open to beauty and our hearts open to each other. Letting go of judgments, holds and blocks, and the idea that there is only one way is possible now and favored by the universe. Jupiter will align with the Virgo Moon and Venus in the next two days adding to the good fortune and optimism. Jupiter is philosophical, expansive and open minded, and in Taurus lends a grounded, how-to approach if you're ready to set goals, take the first or next steps and make things happen, potentially in a very big way! Remove perceived road blocks and explore avenues for growth and expansion in relationships, career, business, and home life. All areas of our lives are prime to bloom after a series of spring/summer eclipses followed by Mercury retrograde, and now a well placed New Moon to spur us on!

Sign by sign, the Virgo New Moon may tend to impact each Sun sign in these ways. Read also your rising signs and Moon sign for additional insight.
