Sign of the
times The moon spends around two and a half days
in each sign and it influences our emotional responses to
circumstances. The moon affects us equally, regardless of your
sign, and the waxing and waning of the moon also influence
social and emotional motivation. |

for September
2010

There are some
powerful conjunctions when the Full moon is in Pisces on the
23rd so hold on to your ideas and inspirations
then. The moon lines up with Jupiter and Uranus increasing
confidence, inspiration and eccentricity. If nothing else,
you'll be supremely confident about a crazy plan which then
seems far too eccentric by the 26th.
1, 2 &
3 The Gemini moon makes everything
negotiable, so talk the price down on that new car or big
screen TV just for negotiation practice. Good days to discuss
unresolved emotional issues with a sense of detachment and
flexibility.
4 &
5 The Cancerian moon increases
romance and the need for emotional security, making these
great days for inviting a few close friends for dinner at
home. You'll enjoy escaping into a good film or a book now, or
reminiscing about past loves, as emotional memories may
surface steadily during this moon.
6 &
7 The Balsamic Leo moon may have
you discussing grand plans while reclining on the sofa, as
your mind may be more active than your body. Good days to
complete creative projects, while leaving the beginning of new
projects until after the New moon on the 8th.
8 &
9 The New moon in Virgo on the
8th encourages careful and precise planning of
future projects. Your expectations are likely to be realistic
and your time lines achievable, so grab a pen and pad and
start making a list. Good days to plan a new diet or exercise
routine and to clear the cupboards of junk foods.
10 &
11 The Libran moon increases the
desire to socialise, to negotiate meeting your needs with
others and to make your partner feel special. These are
positive days for planning a holiday or an event with your
partner. The moon lines up with Mars on the 11th,
making you more impatient and enthusiastic than usual. This
might result in some arguments or the need for a brisk walk to
discharge excess energy.
12 &
13 Emotional intensity is the theme
now, with the moon in Scorpio. You may find the emotional
courage to end a situation which is draining you, to speak up
if you feel unheard or to forgive a past hurt and move on.
Trust your instincts when making decisions now for best
results.
14 &
15 The First Quarter moon in
Sagittarius on the 15th increases your confidence
about life's possibilities, so act on your plans now. Good
days to take a stroll to think things over, or to release any
pent up energy through sports. You may hesitate regarding
emotional commitments now, but this will pass.
16, 17 &
18 The Capricorn moon lines up with
Pluto on the 16th, increasing emotional intensity.
This may manifest as heightened passion in relationships, the
courage to release yourself from a negative situation or the
determination to see a difficult project through to a positive
conclusion. You'll instinctively know whether to persevere
with a goal or to cut your losses on the 15th. Life
seems more sedate on the 17th and 18th.
The moon enters Aquarius in the evening of the
18th.
19 &
20 The waxing Aquarian moon
quickens the thinking processes, encouraging eccentric
solutions to problems. The moon lines up with Neptune on the
20th increasing intuition and creativity. You might
enjoy a foreign language film or searching for love via the
Internet on the 20th.
21, 22 &
23 The Full moon in Pisces on the
23rd is conjunct Jupiter and Uranus, making this a
powerful day for creativity. Ideas are likely to range from
the brilliantly inspired to the lunatic fringe, so jot them
all down so that you remember them. Great days for meditation,
heeding your intuition and for romance. Notice what nourishes
you emotionally and spiritually during this Full moon so that
you can repeat the process throughout the year.
24 &
25 Passion, enthusiasm and
impatience are hallmarks of the Aries moon, so try to harness
this energy for best results. Take a walk if you feel confined
as you’ll feel revitalised by nature and the outdoors now.
These are great days to shake things up in order to move a
project forward.
26, 27 &
28 The waning Taurean moon offers a
chance to briefly reflect on your life. These are perfect days
to write or to review your financial affairs, to enjoy a
garden in spring or to hunt down a favourite cafe for lunch.
Plan big purchases carefully now, and you won't regret it
later. The moon enters Gemini in the evening of the
28th, increasing curiosity and the desire to
socialise.
29 &
30 If you find yourself at dinner
with friends while on the phone to someone else, blame the
Gemini moon. Conversation flows more easily during a Gemini
moon, so take this opportunity to invite someone special for
lunch, to see a film or perhaps invite them to forgive your
past indiscretions. Good days to negotiate the purchase of
those big ticket items, but only if you have already decided
on the perfect purchase.

The Moon in the 12
Signs
Copyright 2008 Paul Fenton-Smith |
|
Knowing which sign the moon was in at
your birth can help you to understand how you
emotionally relate to others and to life. It can
also increase your awareness of the best days of the
month ahead for you. |
|
Moon in Aries:
Those with the moon
in Aries tend to be forthright and sometimes emotionally
aggressive. Aries moon people are usually self
confident, rebound from emotional hurts quickly and can
find it challenging staying in one love relationship for
any length of time. They usually enjoy nature and can
find it beneficial to take a long walk when they need to
think about pressing issues.
Becoming emotionally impatient, they may benefit from
learning to negotiate to have their emotional needs met
in relationships. Aries moon people are usually
passionate and they thrive on challenges.
|back|
|
|
Moon in Taurus: The moon is
exalted in Taurus making this an excellent placement.
Taurus moon people prefer to be in a stable, comfortable
love relationship with plenty of material comforts. They
enjoy good food, but need to be aware of the tendency
towards comfort eating. Instead of food, music can
soothe them when emotional issues disturb their
equilibrium.
Sometimes those people with the moon in Taurus place
more emphasis on stability in love relationships than
upon happiness. They need to guard against stubbornness
and usually enjoy gardening in later life. They are
usually patient and reliable, and when raising pets
treat their animals as part of the family.
|back|
|
|
Moon in Gemini: Those with
the moon in Gemini usually like to discuss their
feelings with their partners. They find it easy to
invent stories, so short story writing or magazine
journalism can interest them. If you find it difficult
to discuss a subject with a person who has the moon in
Gemini, try opening discussions during a telephone
conversation. Moon in Gemini people can reveal more of
themselves when talking on the phone than when meeting
in person.
Gemini moon people can blow hot and cold emotionally,
being close to you one day and then ignoring you then
next. They sometimes find it difficult to make emotional
decisions as they may ignore their feelings in favour of
rational alternatives. When negative, Gemini moon people
can be unreliable, promising to do one thing and then
changing their minds when new opportunities arise.
|back|
|
|
Moon in Cancer: As the moon
rules Cancer, this is its natural placement. People with
the moon in Cancer are usually sensitive, sentimental,
nurturing and sometimes moody. These people can be
hoarders, saving objects which have sentimental
importance, such as photographs, postcards, letters and
mementos.
They have vivid imaginations, are often naturally
psychic, with vivid dreams at night which can be
prophetic. Memories of childhood tend to stay with
Cancer moon people. They need to guard against living in
the past emotionally, for this drains their creative
energies, which are best channelled into creative
writing or painting.
Naturally secretive, Cancer moon people show only a
part of themselves at a time. They react in an instant
to the emotional mood of a room due to their natural
intuitive abilities. They usually possess long memories
for past hurts.
|back|
|
|
Moon in Leo: Those with the
moon in Leo tend to be playful, romantic, passionate and
optimistic. They love a grand romance and enjoy the
chase where love is concerned. Leo moon people are often
young at heart and enjoy any occasion where they can
dress up.
They are usually emotionally buoyant and quick to
express themselves with flair and originality. When
negative however, they can be competitive and demand
attention like a small child. Leo moon people have
natural acting ability and theatrical leanings, whether
it be on the stage, in films or simply to add romance to
a love relationship.
|back|
|
|
Moon in Virgo: Those with the
moon in Virgo prefer a low key approach to their
emotions. Being naturally afraid of making a fool of
themselves, they tend to say less than more. Health
foods and healthy living appeal those with a Virgo moon,
with regular exercise and vitamin and mineral
supplements usually being a part of life.
Natural observers, they have the ability to learn
from the mistakes of others, thus avoiding pain and
suffering. These keen powers of observation make them
accurate mimics and subtle character actors. In love
they demonstrate their feelings through actions rather
than words. Their gift is to help partners have a more
balanced and trouble-free life.
When negative, they can be self critical and critical
of others, demanding perfection and being quick to see
the faults and imperfections in others. When used
positively, these abilities make them excellent editors,
administrators and quality testers.
|back|
|
|
Moon in Libra: Those with the
moon in Libra enjoy beautiful surroundings, harmonious
colours and good food and company. They thrive on new
conversations, people and surroundings. They have a keen
sense of justice and fair play and readily fight for the
rights of those they care about.
Choosing the right partner is not an easy process for
those with the moon in Libra, as they are generous and
self sacrificing, making them vulnerable to the whims of
a selfish mate. If they choose unwisely, they may
surrender their own sources of joy in a bid to please
their partners.
When negative, Libran moon people need to be
constantly reassured that they are loved. If a partner
doesn't admire them sufficiently, they can seek
additional partners in their bid for happiness.
|back|
|
|
Moon in Scorpio : Loyalty is
paramount to those with the moon in Scorpio. Once you
have their commitment, they'll walk over hot coals for
you. They are unusually intuitive where their partners
are concerned, so don't attempt to deceive them. These
people are keen to explore the emotional depths, making
them unsuited to light love relationships or short love
affairs. They admire emotional courage and can quickly
see through false confidence and uncover concealed
weakness.
If you betray these people, don't expect to be
forgiven easily, as they have long memories for past
emotional hurts. They need to guard against emotional
power struggles with partners. Scorpio moon people
possess great depths of emotional courage, but they can
take a long time to reveal themselves emotionally to
others.
|back|
|
|
Moon
in Sagittarius: Those with the moon
in Sagittarius can find commitment difficult. Neither
emotional nor physical commitment comes easily to these
people, They usually enjoy plenty of freedom and the
thrill of the pursuit where relationship is concerned.
Travel, study, learning and teaching appeal to those
with the moon in Sagittarius.
Their thirst for knowledge can leave them with little
enthusiasm once they have mastered something, whether it
be a course, a career or a love relationship partner.
When negative they may find that they are unable to
commit themselves to any one person for very long,
preferring freedom instead. In later years, those with a
Sagittarius moon need to keep an eye on their intake of
sweet foods, as they may gain weight around the hips and
thighs unless they exercise regularly.
|back|
|
|
Moon in Capricorn: Those with
the Moon in Capricorn sometimes doubt themselves and
deny themselves the emotional nourishment they deserve
and need to have. They may consider that they need to
earn their emotional rewards, making them hardworking
and reluctant to reveal themselves emotionally to
others.
Often they feel emotionally inadequate, making them
controlling of others for fear that they may find
themselves in unchartered waters emotionally. They can
find it difficult to be emotionally vulnerable before
their partners. These people thrive on emotional
structure, which can lead to power struggles if their
partners feel emotionally controlled.
People with the moon in Capricorn tend to be
emotionally disciplined and capable of great endurance
where love relationships are concerned. They are usually
patient, realistic and show their affections through
practical rather than romantic ways. If you love
gardening, your Capricorn moon partner is more likely to
give you a shovel and a bowl of mixed seedlings instead
of a bunch of flowers.
|back|
|
|
Moon in Aquarius : Those with
the moon in Aquarius can possess an attraction for long
distance relationships. Keeping in touch with a partner
by phone, email or SMS messaging is not difficult for
these people as they require plenty of freedom and don't
take kindly to being emotionally possessed.
When falling in love they can find a partner's
philosophy, lifestyle or commitment to a cause more
appealing than physical features. They sometimes seek
partners who come from different cultures or from a
different part of the world. The exchange of ideas is
important to Aquarian moon people; they enjoy a good
conversation. Unusual thinking appeals to those with an
Aquarian moon.
When negative they can be stubborn, seeking to shock
those around them with their quirky behaviour just to
provoke a reaction.
|back|
|
|
Moon in Pisces: Those with the
moon in Pisces can be idealistic in friendships and in
love relationships. They dream of a perfect world, and
can retreat into books or films to sustain their dreams
if life becomes too difficult. They are usually
romantic, creative and capable of great long term
sacrifice for those around them.
Because Pisces is represented by two fish swimming in
different directions, those with a Piscean moon can be
soft and sensitive one day, and then pragmatic and
realistic the next. This can manifest itself as pie in
the sky dreams one day, followed by practical plans to
make those dreams a reality the next.
Being naturally intuitive, these people need to guard
against being emotionally or psychically drained by
those around them as their compassion allows others to
take advantage of them from time to time. They usually
have great patience and sympathy for animals and are
fond of working with animals or volunteering to help out
at animal shelters.
