  • Merry Holidays to everyone. It looks like a very good week with few rough spots. The astronomical activity appears to be slight which can be cause to think something is up. Nothing is ever this quiet. A bit of melancholy on Sunday picks up nicely for a cheery Christmas Day. The Moon and Uranus help with a special event; they are both conjunct (0°) and parallel which equates to a mini-eclipse between the two, called and occultation. This event is not visible in the US but is visible in South America and Portugal. The Moon will be at perigee (closest to earth) on Wednesday night which is also the day of a very important First Quarter Moon in Aries. The importance comes from the link to a Solar Eclipse nine months ago, on March 29, 2006. We can expect a high level of activity on the same day as the First Quarter Moon, Wednesday. Aries is a hot and aggressive sign that likes to see action. This is not the time for senseless chatter but time for resolve. Venus, the friend, the lover, the counselor, returns to the home range on Christmas Eve and with it love seems to be more abundant and partners may feel more comfortable with each other. Since December 3rd Venus has been out-of-bounds. If you feel you have been left out in the cold since Venus' distant jaunt, you are not alone as it has placed a wedge between many couples. You may have started talking again since Mercury ran up the declination ladder to keep Venus company in her out-skirts hangout on December 20th. Gossip would run rampant which brings to mind the Britney Spears obscene outings, is an example of Venus' unattractive behavior while out-of-bounds. A return to more traditional feminine behavior is to be expected after Christmas Eve. Mercury and Venus camaraderie brings siblings and younger friends to enjoy more than usual closeness during this period. It might bring about a desire to adopt a pet. Even though Venus is on her way back to "normal", the winged footed messenger, Mercury, remains out-of-bounds until January 11, 2007. We may experience an effect similar to a Mercury retrograde period. Then Mars follows suit and travels out-of-bounds from January 3 through February 3, 2007 only to experience the male component difficult to reach during that time.

    Maybe the talk about a military draft is acted upon but followed by strong resistance. Work issues may be more difficult to sort through until Mars is back within the boundaries set by the Sun in February.

    Take a break from the chaos and visit
    Peace Village.

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

    New Weekly Feature
    For ease of reading the details of each day, when available or appropriate, follow the daily summary.


    A Day Rating is not intended to describe the feeling of the day or how you will experience that day but offers clues about the end results to your activities if you chose to take a specific action during 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.

    General Notes On Pisces MoonsPisces
    - Good results for efforts until v/c moon at 3:10 pm. Void of course Moon takes place between 3:10 p.m. and 8:44 p.m.
    The morning drags a bit with the Moon opposing Saturn at 11:42 a.m. but picks up after that when you see the direction for a good decision about an important step forward. The light of the Moon is building which allows for greater illumination and inspiration, carried along with an exchange with friends. Your consideration of larger plans in your life are the focus today. The energy shifts after 8:44 p.m. when the Moon enters Pisces and we begin an Emotional Period, adding to struggles with judgments through Tuesday at 10:05 p.m. You may find people to be overly sensitive, touchy and argumentative with this Pisces Moon. Grievances are justified as a cold hand is dealt to some, so love and compassion is the answer. You may not be able to see the source of the pain, as with depression. However, the pain is very real. Ultimatums run rampant as to pressure family or friends to change their ways. Your expectations are the source of your disappointment. This is a setup for familiar problems. If there is anger, what was your role and what could you have done differently? By taking responsibility for your part you ease the internal rage. The Sun and Moon midpoint travels through the friendship sign of Aquarius during this Pisces Moon. Perhaps you are content to go it alone, for awhile. No man is an island. Release through meditation, yoga and prayer. A positive channel can be found in a new or familiar spiritual group.

    General Notes On Pisces MoonsPisces
    - Emotional Struggles with some Difficult energy.
    Conditions improve and harmony is restored. Love is in the air and people actually have joy in their hearts. The melancholy feelings of yesterday are soothed today. This is a romantic day with a deep message. The unexpected is on the agenda with the Moon and Uranus in a mini eclipse at 4:11 p.m. It could be haphazard but mostly fun. You may be magically surprised to experience the closeness of family and loved ones that are here, far and beyond. Check in on those left alone today.

    - Emotional Struggles with some Difficult energy until 12:05 am, Wednesday.
    Disagreements arise between friends. Some of the issues emerged around alcohol or other substances. A misunderstanding blocks your view. A long term friendship could be threatened if you fail to consider the future here. There is a strong influence to write something before it is lost, such as a poem or song. Messages from afar are warming and sentimental.

    General Notes On Aries MoonsAries
    - Positive results for efforts after 3:54 pm.
    After learning something new you could drop your plans and move on. The First Quarter Moon has an exciting spark from the solar eclipse of last March 29, 2006. You may find that you are actively moving forward with matters that have their seed in and around that time. This is an action day that is great for those with a self starting initiative. Move forward after Mercury changes signs at 3:55 p.m. On a personal level there is support for those that head out on their own. The sales business and small businesses can run with this energy today. After Mercury enters Capricorn the energy shifts and there is a need to make changes. Missing paperwork or connections can be a source of frustration in the morning but up to date information is more useful. What you lost is stored in your knowledge banks for you to retrieve when necessary. Nothing is ever completely forgotten. Keep a notepad handy after 3:55 p.m. for your brilliant ideas and brainstorms. Consider all angles before moving too fast.

Keep patience and objectivity in mind. Consider both sides of a situation. Pause and remember to soften before jumping to conclusions. It is not all about you. Enjoy your work today and the lively energy.

    MOON ENTERS PISCES - Dec 24 2006
    The Pisces Moon can be a time of divine inspiration and composition. It is normally a sympathetic and empathetic time. This is a great time to recharge your batteries with some well needed down time. For some they may seek an escape with alcohol or mind-altering substances. You may feel compelled toward activities that support what feels like a mission or become a vehicle for divine intervention. This moon period can hold both gentle and forceful energy. Neptune the god of the sea, rules Pisces can be divinely spiritual or filled with upheaval when enraged. Hurricanes after all are born at sea. Tidal waves, tsunami and monsoons are all ruled by Neptune as are any major rain or snow storm. This can be a sensitive and romantic couple of days. There may be a presence of strong feelings of faith combined with a need to make a spiritual connection. It is normally a sympathetic and empathetic period; people can be overly sensitive and feel victimized. At times when feeling overly frustrated and misunderstood, striking out at others turns the victim into the victimizer as with the wounded puppy syndrome. There may be a strong focus on cosmetic and superficial appearances. Some may experience a Pisces Moon as a "black cloud" or fear that something unfortunate will occur as with 'Murphy's Law". There is a strong spiritual hunger during this time. Emotions range from melancholy to sentimental. This is a very good time for meditation, yoga and prayer and connecting to the universal divine protector. On a mundane level, there may be all sorts of sneaky behavior behind the scenes and misrepresentations. You may become aware of secrets. Clandestine affairs love a Pisces Moon. Elect to work behind the scenes for tasks requiring solitude. Intuition runs high; so trust your gut feelings. Music can be used as a tool to alter moods. Practice meditation, yoga and prayer. Create something poetic and be open to receive inspiration. Help someone -- service and sacrifice is Pisces' middle name and it helps with any tendency toward self pity. Be aware of the lack of boundaries. The weather may be wet or misty. This is a fertile time and productive time in the garden. Planting and cultivating. If a Moon phases occurs while the Moon is in Pisces, people take action on the secrets revealed. The rule of thumb with a Pisces Moon is that you will land in a different place than you expected if you choose this time to initiate your objectives. If you are a Pisces, matters generally tend to go your way.

    MOON ENTERS TAURUS - Dec 29 2006
    The Moon in Taurus is in its exaltation which normally indicates that there is a graciousness and honor of some sort. When the Moon is in Taurus, there tends to be a focus on finances, and often money comes through on these days. This is the Moon of tradition, concerned with matters of the family and gatherings. It is usually “food first” for Taurus Moons. Bonding is more apparent with loved ones. There is a need to get more grounded and find some peace and quiet. You may be carting about people or supplies. (Before automated vehicles, the bull pulled carts of supplies and people.) Taurus Moons can be lazier and more indulgent than usual. This can be a slow-moving couple of days with no rushing and lower blood pressure. The bull is more sensitive than they appear being also stubborn and not easily pulled off track. If there is a sense of being pressured this could incite rage especially if plans change without consulting the bull and then securing his/her approval. Don’t push, suggest. Find a way to make your pitch, sale or emotional plea politically palatable, practical and profitable to please and capture your benefactors’ attention. Remain sensitive and patient while watching the object of your attention become interested in your product. Making a pitch or sale with the Moon in Taurus can be tedious but you are often speaking to someone who has the means to fund your project or buy your products. If your can remember they don’t want to be pushed, they want to be seduced you will have much better luck. If you seem to be interested only in money you will loose their respect. When the Moon is in Taurus people like to buy things that are sensual to the touch. Fabrics need to be comfortable and relaxed but of high quality. Flannels, cottons and very soft wools are sought. Lots of food items, cooking and indoor/outdoor gardening are high on the activity list. This is a time to be nurtured and be nurturing. If the Taurus Moon occurs on an otherwise good day your powers of manipulation are strong. Your ability to move to the head of the line or the top of the list are greater today. Apply for a loan or mortgage. It is an excellent for planting flowers and beautiful bushes. If you are a Taurus, matters tend to go your way.

A time to find a spiritual teacher. Find the right counsel to resolve a deeply personal dilemma. A good time to investigate education with acupuncture, body therapies or medical school. Investigate plans to renovate sewer, plumbing and irrigation.
