Moon Signs & Daily Summaries
Please read my article on Refranations as they are an important astrological event marker.

A Day Rating may not describe the feeling or your experience of that day but give details about the end result of your actions taken under that Moon sign period. A Moon sign period begins when the Moon enters a new sign and remains in effect until it leaves that sign. A Difficult Day can bring unwanted complications for the end result of your objectives. By choosing a Good Day and before the void of course Moon period, you increase you chances for a smoother and more favorable outcome. The day is rated by the last aspect from the Moon to a planet before it leaves the sign. That last aspect begins the void of course Moon period. Your activities are considered to be under the umbrella of the Moon sign that changes every couple of days. Days with the same Moon sign often carry the same day rating for the couple days the Moon occupies that sign.

There some very important exceptions:

When a planet changes signs, the day rating can change.

When a planet changes direction, the day rating can change.

These instances are referred to as a refranation, indicating that you are to expect someone to leave before you complete your objectives or the situation totally changes due to new and unseen developments or reversals.

Saturday, May 20, 2006
Aquarius ... changing to
Pisces
Last Quarter Aquarius Moon at 5:20 a.m. Good until void of course Moon begins at 6:05 a.m. Then after 6:38 a.m. Tricky Moon period (refranation) Moon changes to Pisces until Monday morning. This Pisces Moon period is filled with refranation which changes the agenda first because the Sun changes signs on Sunday and Neptune turns retrograde on Monday. The week improves after the Moon enters Aries on Monday at 9:23 a.m. Venus is sextile (60°) Neptune at 2:12 p.m.

Sunday, May 21, 2006
Pisces
Two refranations occur during this Moon sign. This is a Tricky and confusing day. The Moon is in Pisces. The Sun enters Gemini at 12:31 a.m. and remains in that sign until June 21, 2006. There are no major planetary aspects today. Change your thinking. Change your life.

Monday, May 22, 2006
Pisces ... changing to
Aries
A Split Day. First the Pisces Moon is void of course from 9:06 a.m. until it enters Aries at 9:23 a.m. Then begins a Good Day rating until Wednesday morning. Neptune turns retrograde at 9:06 a.m. until October 29. Judgment may be off today but support from Mercury sextile (60°) Saturn at 1:58 p.m. brings some serious thought to problem-solving. A stroke of luck with love or money can be expected with Venus contra parallel Uranus at 4:36 p.m, though not long lasting it can bring temporary relief or fulfillment.

Tuesday, May 23, 2006
Aries
A Good Day. Aries Moon. Mercury is semi-square (45°) Venus, bringing a cranky tone with kids, pets and money matters. Your friends or consultants may be difficult to locate for processing problems. Irritations with people in routine positions are made worse by the same aspect from Mercury to Mars at 12:30 p.m. Avoid getting in the middle of someone else's problem. The temptation is to take sides and you'll be sorry. Men and women are not getting along and its best to let this day ride out. Venus and Mars form their square (90°) at 6:00 p.m. Venus represents the feminine principal and is impatient in Aries while here is ruled by Mars, now in Cancer, a feminine sign ruled by the Moon. Battles over money and security are likely to separate couples today.

Wednesday, May 24, 2006
Aries ... changing to
Taurus
A Good Day until the 5:16 a.m. break for a void of course Moon until it enters Taurus at 12:00 p.m., and then remains Good until Friday afternoon. The Good Day begins again at 12:00 p.m. During a Taurus Moon that has a Good Day rating it can be very beneficial for getting to the head of the line or gaining the information you're looking for. Mercury is in its own sign of Gemini when it forms a quincunx (150°) to expansive Jupiter, now in Scorpio at 11:44 p.m. The information revealed today may be applied to health issues or those related to pregnancy, babies and small children. Adjustments made in schedules affect the whole family or your greater routine.

Thursday, May 25, 2006
Tauruss
A Good Day. A Taurus Moon. There are a few investment aspects today. First Venus sextiles (60°) Ceres, then Mercury parallels Vesta for investments are enticed by Venus trine (120°) Pluto at 9:42 p.m. Besides a day to make investments, its my pick as the best date night of the week. Now that Tuesday's Venus square (90°) Mars is behind us, the Taurus Moon loves good food and simple relaxation. Even though Venus is out of her element when in the sign of Aries, she is deeply connected by a harmonious aspect to Pluto, ruler of sex, intensity and intimacy. Plan something romantic or entirely indulgent for yourself.

Friday, May 26, 2006
Taurus
A Good Day. The Taurus Moon is void of course at 1:51 p.m. until 3:19 p.m. The Moon enters Gemini at 3:19 p.m. and then begins a Good Day rating again, through Sunday (5/28) evening. The day begins with the unpredictable surprises of Mercury square (90°) Uranus at 9:48 a.m. Get an earlier start into work to avoid a major traffic jam. Information today is unsettling at best. Virus could complicate matters, then bad news about your investment may arise by 12:04 p.m. Stay close to cranky pets and children as the desire to break out of the confines of restraint become too tempting. Runaway pets and contrary moods with children are smoothed out in the early afternoon. Now in the dark Moon period we await the Gemini New Moon tomorrow.

Favorable Days Each Day is Rated with Void of Course Moon Periods	Dominant Weekly Activity
Saturday- Good until 6:05 am when v/c moon begins Sunday- A Split Day - Tricky & Confusing with 2 refranations Monday- Good after 9:06 am Tuesday- Good Wednesday- Good until 5:16 am then Good from 12 noon on Thursday- Good - Best day to initiate or take action Friday- Good	This weekend begins with a dramatic Aquarius Last Quarter Moon at the 29th degree of the sign. The days of a quarter moon are high-action days. This one may be more so for a few reasons. First the Sun is at 29° Taurus and located at the cluster of stars called the "Seven Weeping Sisters" or the Pleiades. Ancient symbolism refers to this point as one of sorrow or something to cry about. Next, the Last Quarter symbolism is a return of things from the past. At the last degree of Aquarius is to place strong focus on the environment, the rights of the people and their liberties. A clean-up phase is what remains from a two-and-a-quarter year period that is designed for clearing a path to the future. The Sun reiterates this as he sits at the threshold of Gemini-moving into the changeable period of this season preparing for the next major seasonal event, summer. This symbolism for a clean up period runs throughout. Neptune the ruler of Pisces is now in Aquarius and will change directions to retrograde until the end of October. This stationary period dominates the more routine changes of Mercury into Gemini (Friday, May 19) and Sunday's, May 21 Sun sign change. The major portion of the weekend is bathed in the sign of Pisces energy when the Moon enters Pisces at 6:38 a.m. May 20th and remains there until the morning of Monday, May 22. During the Pisces Moon period many changes can be expected. Some stories are related to things kept secret over the past 2.25 years. Maybe some things are not so secret any longer, but the method to mask a greater problem is uncovered. The challenge is to find the courage to gather resources from the lessons of past experiences that hindered growth and success … to trust the process to recover from what was lost and move forward. Sympathy, empathy and support to those that are lost in the tangled branches deep in the forest emerge to the edge without a clue of what awaits them. We've all been t here in one way or another. Many are faced with fears about covering the rising costs from Neptune's domain - oil. While others wish to slip into another world only to find there is no escape. Other indicators of changing times are seen with two planets that create what is called a refranation this week. The term is specifically related to a Moon sign period and gives a Tricky Day rating because plans change and sometimes are completely dropped or suffer reversals. Not all is lost, so look for your lucky break. The first refranation occurs when the Sun changes signs from Taurus to Gemini on Sunday. The next refranation will occur on Monday May 22, 2006 when Neptune (the ruler of the sign of Pisces) changes to a retrograde direction. How interesting that the Moon is in Pisces when Neptune changes direction. It's best to keep an open agenda with plan B and C. Put very simply, you can expect big changes the days in the year when planets change signs or direction. More specifically, it's all about the Moon sign. If your plans require a rigid scheme then make arrangements for another day. If you think you can benefit by universal intervention and unseen support then make your plans for days when planets are changing. Any attempts to secure plans, appointments may require revisions until the Sun enters Gemini on Sunday at 12:32 a.m. Mercury recently passed over the last degree of Taurus on Friday while Neptune is at a stand still. It turned up more secrets and attempts to cover-up. As the Moon attempts to catch the Sun (the boss) before it leaves the sign it makes a statement. Next the Pisces Moon will attempt to catch Neptune to make an appeal before he reverses his direction Monday morning. This weekend may be special for discovering missing information, connecting with a mentor or arranging your agenda based on letting go of the old. The boss, however is moving on. Leaving you behind with your old agenda. The pressure is to get up to speed. At minimum you can expect to be enchanted maybe with music or fantasy. Use the spiritual support to bring advancement. ^top
