LAST QUARTER MOON in Gemini at 8.51am

The Last Quarter Moon arrives at 8.51am - a point where usually something needs adjusting. We may find a gap between what we intended and what’s happened. The best way to work with Last Quater Moon energy isn’t to try to force things to go the way you wanted, but rather to ask, “What does the plan need to become now?”

Waning Moon in Taurus/Gemini

After a week that may have felt rather stop-start, something shifts today.

The Moon enters Gemini at 12.47pm, bringing brighter movement back into the atmosphere. And this isn’t just Gemini bringing in clever ideas. A trine to Pluto adds depth, a sextile to Neptune brings imagination and intuition into the mix. Allow both logi…

Waning Moon in Taurus

There’s useful forward momentum available this morning, as the Taurus Moon sextiles Mars.

Get on with what needs doing but retain a little healthy scepticism as you go. A square to Jupiter can inflate expectations as well as promises.

A later mid-morning trine between the Moon and Mercury injects some clear thinking, maki g this a goo…

Waning Moon in Aries/Taurus

The Moon ambles into Taurus at 9.01am, replacing Aries urgency with something steadier and more deliberate.

Which may be just as well, as around coffee-time, Mars squares Saturn.

Mars wants movement; Saturn wants evidence that we know where we’re going. This can feel frustrating, but not every obstacle is an opposition. Give it …

Waning Moon in Aries

After an active night, the Aries Moon begins the day with both enthusiasm and a surprising amount of organisation behind it. Jupiter enlarges the possibilities while Saturn provides enough structure to stop all that fire scattering in seventeen different directions at once. If there’s something you’ve been meaning to get moving, this…

WEEK’S OVERVIEW

This is a week with two quite distinct halves.

The week starts with plenty of impetus, but progress may not be entirely straightforward - more like that of the ball in a pinball machine.

By Thursday, however, the atmosphere changes noticeably, becoming less jangley and erratic. Gemini brings its usual curiosity, and a willingness to adapt. …

Waning Moon in Pisces/Aries

Moon enters Aries at 3.38am

The Moon finally emerges from its long void-of-course period and enters Aries at 3.38am. After the last few days of pent-up energy, this might feel like the engine starting with a bit of a jolt.

The Aries Moon then sextiles Pluto, conjoins Neptune and sextiles Uranus. The unusual mixture of drive, ins…

Waning Moon in Pisces

Void of course throughout the day

The Moon remains void of course in Pisces throughout Saturday, extending the strange, suspended atmosphere that began yesterday evening.

Once again, this doesn’t mean don’t do or feel anything. After Friday’s eclipse and Uranian disruption, today provides valuable time for absorption. You may feel a n…

FULL MOON IN PISCES

Partial Lunar Eclipse at 5.12am
Full Moon at 5.18am
Void of course from 5.14pm until Sunday 3.38am

Friday begins with a Full Moon in Pisces and a partial lunar eclipse. So, despite Pisces’ quiet nature, this is unlikely to be a quiet beginning.

A Full Moon illuminates what’s been growing beneath the surface, while an eclipse can interrupt…

Waxing Moon in Aquarius/Pisces

Void of course until 8.04pm

With the Moon void of course throughout most of the day, Thursday asks for relative quiet. This isn’t necessarily a day on which nothing happens, but it may be one in which pushing for visible progress produces little of lasting value.

The principal astrological event today is the Sun’s conjunction…

Waxing Moon in Aquarius

Void of course from 10.50pm until 8.04pm tomorrow

A lunar opposition to Jupiter gives the beginning of the day a distinctly Tiggerish quality. Enthusiasm may arrive at full bounce, accompanied by big, ambitious ideas and a temporary inability to recognise what’s realistically possible. This can be wonderfully energising, but Jupite…

Waxing Moon in Capricorn/Aquarius

Moon enters Aquarius at 10.02am

The beat changes at 10.02am when the Moon leaves Capricorn and enters Aquarius. After Monday’s rather muffled atmosphere, this brings a more spacious feel to the day.

And today, Mercury’s arrival in Virgo provides a useful counterbalance. Aquarius sees possibilities; Virgo notices what you’l…

Waxing Moon in Capricorn

Void of course from 7.30am until 10.02am tomorrow

Capricorn usually prefers life to be orderly and reasonably well behaved. Today, however, two challenging lunar squares - one to Saturn, one to Venus - make that a tad more difficult to achieve.

You may feel blocked, or weighted down by responsibilities. A sense of unreliability may…

Weekly Overview

This is a week of changing atmospheres and unexpected outcomes.

It begins with a Capricorn Moon trying to maintain order while squares to Saturn and Venus challenge how we organise and what we’re feeling. An unusually long void-of-course Moon compounds that uncertainty. Monday is therefore less about forcing life into shape and more about …

Waxing Moon in Capricorn

Today the Sun moves into Virgo. The light and the atmosphere shift.

We’re into gathering time now: the part of the seasonal cycle concerned with harvesting and deciding what’s actually useful.

The Moon has her say today too, starting off with a pre-dawn square to Neptune and continuing with an opposition to Mars later this afternoo…

Waxing Moon Sagittarius/Capricorn

Today is largely energised by the continuing Sagittarian Moon - excellent for Saturday-type activities involving exploration, conversation or simply getting out into a larger world.

It’s not until tonight that the beat changes, as the Moon goes briefly void of course at 9.21pm until 9.59pm, when she enters Capricorn.

A day…

Waxing Moon in Sagittarius

The brighter lunar tone continues today, with the optimistic Sagittarian Moon trining Jupiter first thing. A sense of resilience, of forward momentum, blossoms.

Yes, a Venusian opposition to Saturn has to be negotiated in the midst of all this, and you may feel blocked or frustrated.

But then the lunar cavalry appears.

The Moon tr…

First Quarter Moon in Sagittarius at 3.46am

The Moon reached her First Quarter point overnight, going void at the same time from 3.46am until 9.30am this morning, when she enters Sagittarius.

Something of a relief, this, after the somewhat challenging nature of the last few days’ astrology. That Sagittarius energy sounds an optimistic note, which becomes …

Waxing Moon in Scorpio

There’s just one major lunar aspect this morning, and that’s a square to Mercury.

Given that the Moon is still Scorpionic in flavour, this could result in head-versus-heart conflicts and/or friction in communication.Words may acquire rather more charge than their speaker intended.

This configuration can also lend itself to spotting h…

Waxing Moon in Scorpio

The Scorpio Moon decides to be challenging today, opening the morning with a square to Pluto. Inner tension and emotional extremes are possible.

Admittedly, this is followed by a trine between the Moon and Mars, shifting the atmosphere towards a more constructive way of looking at things, and this more purposeful note overlights muc…
