The purpose of Moonbeams is to track the influence of the Moon. The Moon being the closest heavenly body to earth has a profound influence on the Earth and on us human beans.
Moon Cast for 9/26/07 - the Harvest Moon.
The Moon leaves Pisces tomorrow morning at 8:31a and is Void of Course (not in any sign) until 10:22a, when it enters the sign of Aries.
Hmm, the Moon is also Squared to Mars at 8:31a. I'll address that in a minute.
Moon in Aries
When the Moon passes through Aries, which is ruled by Mars, people are highly enthusiastic. It is a period of ambition and energetic activity. It is a good time for beginning projects and for instigating change. Be aware that the desire for change will more likely be based upon impulse rather than reason. Watch out for temperamental flare-ups and selfishness ("I am" is the key phrase of Aries). With all this forceful energy, it is important to be mindful of the rights of others. Aries, which rules the head, is known for its headstrong behavior and while the Moon is in Aries people are more susceptible to head injuries.
The aspect of Moon Squared to Mars - a square is traditionally regarded as unfavorable. A time of more delicate health and strong, volatile emotions. It is easy to be quarrelsome, get upset and lose tempers. People are irritable, impulsive, and self-indulgent.
Luckily - it's only a starting point and doesn't influence the entire day. Hint: If possible, isolate yourself at that time.
The Moon quickly leaves Aries at 9:59a Friday morning, the 28th, and enters Taurus at 10:17a.
Moon in Taurus
When the Moon moves into Taurus, the aggressive, charging Aries ram mellows into the solid, placid bull. Remember the term "bull-headed", as people will now tend to be very cautious and unchanging. Be aware of these tendencies toward stubbornness. There is a feeling that it is necessary to protect the status quo or what one already has (key phrase is "I have"). The need for financial and material security is strong. When the Moon is in Taurus take time to continue or conclude projects already started. Taurus is ruled by Venus, so this would be a good time to enjoy and appreciate the earthly beauty which surrounds us. Taurus rules the throat.
The Moon remains in Taurus until the wee small hours of Sunday. Then it is Void of Course, for 9 hours or more and enters Gemini at 10:34a on Sunday.
That's what mine was...so...I'm pretty narrowly focused huh?
I wouldn't say that. The Moon nodes have some influence as well, from your DOB. Or is it the mid-heaven? I'm no astrologer, but I do know somethings.
The Moon and it's influence is what interests me most in astrology today. It has a tremendous influence on us all, as do the other close planets, and the big ones too. But the Moon, with it's relatively rapid movement and the periods of Void, intrigue me.
Another planet that frequently disrupts things here on Earth is Mercury going retrograde. It does this several times a year, and disrupts communication something awful.
Tonight after 1:10a, the Moon goes Void of Course, meaning it is in no sign, just drifting it's way into Gemini, tomorrow mid-morning at 10:34a. It's a good night for prophetic dreaming or lucid dreaming. Enjoy! Relax and let it come to you.
While the Moon in is the dualistic sign Gemini, people may never make up their minds. With the Gemini ease of seeing both sides of everything we feel more adaptable, changeable, and talkative. Gemini is ruled by Mercury which makes this a time for communication. It is a good time to write, take care of tasks which resemble mathematical puzzles, make speeches, or just let ideas fly through the clouds. Intellectual pursuits and mind games may become more prominent than practical concerns. People begin to feel restless and there is an inclination to rationalize emotions. A spontaneous tongue may hastily express things which are only true for the moment.
Gemini rules the lungs, arms, hands, and nervous system.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
There is another event at 4:10p, the Moon squares Saturn or opposes Saturn: There is a lack of emotional flexibility or optimism. Depression. Judgemental attitudes may block abilities to respond to others in an appropriate way. Life is just hard.
Oppositions to the Moon stimulate difficulties in relationships as we tend to project emotional problems onto others. Try to be emotionally detached in affairs ruled by the aspected planet and its sign and to see things objectively as a play of impersonal cosmic energies.
Oct 2 '07, Moon moves to Cancer at 12:57p EDT till tomorrow at 4:41p.
Moon in Cancer
Since Cancer is ruled by the Moon, lunar influences are strongest and most easily expressed when focused through this sign. The Moon greatly influences the personality, the subconscious, the emotions, and molds instinctual behavior. When the Moon is in Cancer, it is a time of intense emotions and great sensitivity with people responding to life through emotions rather than reason. During this very vulnerable period be cautious not to emotionally wound others or allow yourself to be wounded. Generally, people will be passive, easy-going, sentimental, loving, and nurturing. Unfortunately, this motherly expression of caring is often expressed with food and it is easy to overeat.
Cancer rules the breasts and stomach. Cancer is a nurturing sign and the most fertile sign of the zodiac. With the Moon in Cancer, it is a good time for creating life and for growth.
OK the Moon has been Void of Course since yesterday Oct 3rd at 4:41p EDT, and continues Void until 6:27p today Oct 4th.
I'll do a piece on Moon Void of Course - later.
Moon in Leo
Moon enters Leo at 6:27p and remains until 10/7 (Sunday) at 1:28a.
While feeling the influence of the Moon in Leo, people need romance, affection, and recognition. The desire can be so strong to be admired and appreciated that it may result in especially dramatic behavior. Leo is ruled by the Sun making this a time of ambition, independence, and leadership. People may refuse to recognize limitations. The Moon in Leo is a time of enjoyment and warmth and a time to show kindness and generosity to others.
If you're planning on cleaning house today - the Moon is in your favor.
At 3:03a EDT - the Moon slipped into the sign of Virgo.
Moon in Virgo
Virgo is ruled by Mercury as is Gemini. While the Moon is in Virgo, it is also a good time for intellectual pursuits, but now it is better for those requiring critical detail rather than innovative creativity. This is a good time for taking care of any matter which requires painstaking attention. People may become shy and retiring with the Moon passing through Virgo and will tend to be discriminating, fastidious, and even overly critical at times.
These influences lead to a concern about food and health, for Virgo rules the intestines and the powers of assimilation. Many people feel the urge to clean up their homes at this time which is a good way to channel Virgo energy.
Moon remains in Virgo until Tuesday morning at 7:08a EDT.
The Moon continues her walk through the zodiac, and enters Libra today at 1:57p EDT and stays until Thursday 10/11 at 7:22p.
Moon in Libra
While the Moon is in Libra people have a strong sensitivity to and attraction for others. This comes from the Libran search for harmony and balance, for the Libra nature accentuates teamwork. It is a good time to form partnerships of all natures - friendships, marriage, business. Libra is ruled by the planet Venus which manifests as a friendly and tolerant nature and a desire to beautify. It is an excellent time for artistic work as the beauty of Venus is combined with the intellectual ease of an air sign. Altogether it is a lovely time for a social gathering, when the consciousness of self, as expressed in the first six signs of the zodiac, becomes united with the awareness of the needs and desires of others. The Libra keynote is "I balance", as in yin/yang, day/night, summer/winter, me/you.
Libra rules the kidneys and the lower back. Be careful not in imbibe too many impurities during this time when the kidneys are so vulnerable.
The moon has slithered into Scorpio - intense. Entered at 2:13a EDT and exiting on Saturday at 5:24p.
Moon in Scorpio
Scorpio is ruled by Mars and Pluto. Mars' influence brings out strong passions and Pluto shows very strong desires. People often become aggressive, critical, impatient and moody while the Moon is in Scorpio. There is a marked increase of intensity and a heightened sensitivity to personal offenses and insults.
Remember that Scorpio has a suspicious and secretive nature. Avoid social complications. Beware of jealousy and watch out for the Scorpion sting. Please remember to forgive and forget. Be cautious interacting with the opposite sex. However, this could be a good time for an intense merging with another on a deep emotional level!
Scorpio rules the generative system and the organs of reproduction as well as the lower spine (sacrum) in which the Kundalini energy is coiled.
The Moon in Scorpio is a very bad time for surgical operations of any kind.
