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. |

| A guide to the moon
for February
2010
Copyright 2009 Paul Fenton-Smith
|
|
The unusual thing about February is
that it is a month without a Full moon (Australian time).
There was a Full moon on January the 31st and
another in the early hours of March the 1st, making
both January and March months with two Full moons.
1 & 2 At last, a
sensible beginning to a month. The waning Virgo moon offers a
chance to plan your finances in a realistic manner, and to
review your diet and fitness routines. You may be inclined to
review your physical health while you’re at it. Good days to
edit any correspondence such as applications, letters or a
weblog, as you’ll find mistakes easily now.
3 & 4 The Libran
moon increases the desire to socialise, making these good days
for a first date or for catching up with a friend for lunch.
Negotiations usually run more smoothly with the moon in Libra,
especially with the sun currently in another air sign,
Aquarius.
5 & 6 The Third
Quarter moon in Scorpio on the 6th is the perfect
day to re-examine how you nourish yourself emotionally and
spiritually. These are suitable days to clear the air in a
relationship or a business partnership so that you don’t
become resentful about unresolved issues. Good days for deep
meditations.
7, 8 & 9 This
Sagittarian moon increases your confidence, so a forthright
approach might be called for if you want that new job or
partner. Freedom, travel and the great outdoors call to you
now, so if you can’t get away immediately, plan a trip. Your
work colleagues will assume your at the computer busy costing
an important project when in fact you’re budgeting your
holidays and planning your escape.
10 & 11 The
Capricorn moon offers you the chance to review those financial
plans you made back on the 1st and 2nd
when the moon was in Virgo. This is the perfect moon to cost a
project, scan the real estate ads on the Internet for an
investment property or clear any backlog of work from your
in-tray. Well? What are you waiting for?
12, 13 & 14 The New
moon in Aquarius on the 14th is an opportunity to
think outside the box when searching for solutions to your
needs. The Internet may afford some choices when it comes to a
new job or a relationship. You’re likely to feel listless
during the Balsamic moon phase of the 12th and
13th, so take it easy on these days and leave the
commencement of new projects until after the 14th.
15 & 16 The Piscean
moon increases imagination, romance and intuitive sensitivity,
so take time now to heed your instincts if making important
decisions. These are perfect days to see a play or a film,
especially something romantic. If you are planning an intimate
dinner for two, make sure the venue is close to the water’s
edge, as the twinkling of lights, reflected across water are
appreciated during a Piscean moon.
17, 18 & 19 The
waxing Aries moon is the time to push ahead with your plans.
Forget delicate negotiations - assertive is the new black.
These are days to act with passion, and confidence in your
ability to ‘walk the walk.’ If you’ve been toying with the
idea of a new job or a new partner, act now by sending your
resume, making the phone call or boldly asking for a date.
There is no room for regrets during an Aries moon. Good days
for a long walk, a jog or competitive sports.
20 & 21 The Taurean
moon favours a relaxing weekend, which is just as well after
that hectic pace you set during the recent Aries moon. The
path to nourishment this weekend is to be found in your
favourite foods, a comfortable routine and a short snooze in
the afternoon. You might also examine your savings and tweak
your personal budget now, as money set aside for a rainy day
is a source of comfort during a Taurean moon.
22 & 23 The First
Quarter moon in Gemini is an excellent time to ask others to
assist you in your plans. Negotiating a win-win situation can
pave the way for future projects too. These are good days to
talk about your issues with your partner, your boss or your
co-workers, to clear the air. While you’re at it, why not ask
for a pay rise or negotiate a few more concessions.
24 & 25 Feeling a
bit sensitive? It’s probably not the lack of coffee but the
Cancerian moon. These are days to escape into a good film or a
book, to write a short story or to spice up your diary with an
imaginative entry. With both the sun and moon in water signs,
you’ll be able to read the emotions of other more easily now,
but you may feel more emotional yourself. The risk here is of
sulking when others don’t understand your needs instead of
asking to have your needs met. You can expect vivid dreams at
night during this Cancerian moon.
26, 27 & 28 The Leo
moon in the Gibbous phase makes for a creative and competitive
time. If the love of your life isn’t paying you enough
attention, now is the time to double to ration of weekly
flowers, to whisk him or her away in a limousine and / or a
sea plane to a lavish dinner. Just make sure that the gift is
suitably gaudy. It might pay to make it something from the
Gaudy Baubles range, all of which is so loud that it comes
with a volume control. Good days for romance, creativity and
for finding creative solutions to existing problems. The moon
enters Virgo in the afternoon of the 28th
signalling a return to a restrained approach to emotions.

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.
