Moon in Virgo (General) 

When the moon is in Virgo, people are generally more organized and productive. Their emotions are aligned with their work and they get a great deal of satisfaction out of completing their daily tasks and responsibilities. Relationships with co-workers go well now and you seek to bring order where ever you encounter chaos. Generally speaking, people may feel the need to take steps to improve their health in some way. 

The house that Virgo occupies in your natal, or birth chart, is the area of life where you will feel the impact of the Moon in Virgo.  

• If your rising sign is Aries, Virgo is your 6th house 
• If your rising sign is Taurus, Virgo is your 5th house
• If your rising sign is Gemini, Virgo is your 4th house
• If your rising sign is Cancer, Virgo is your 3rd house.
• If your rising sign is Leo, Virgo is your 2nd house 
• If your rising sign is Virgo, Virgo is your 1st house. 
• If your rising sign is Libra, Virgo is your 12th house 
• If your rising sign is Scorpio, Virgo is your 11th house 
• If your rising sign is Sagittarius, Virgo is your 10th house 
• If your rising sign is Capricorn, Virgo is your 9th house 
• If your rising sign is Aquarius, Virgo is your 8th house 
• If your rising sign is Pisces, Virgo is your 7th house. 

Example

The Moon in Virgo and the 11th House 

When the moon is in Virgo and the 11th house you are more critical of the friends, groups, and people that you associate with.  You crave more freedom and more excitement and find that you are attracted to new and different people who can offer you unique experiences.  This is a good time to focus on your hopes and dreams -- either identifying them or begin working towards them. 

Aspects

Aspects, or relationships between planets, are another dimensions of astrological interpretation that should be considered. The Moon only stays in each sign for about 2.5 days so any aspects it forms to your natal planets will be short lived. Let us suppose, however, that you have Venus in 02° Scorpio, then this would mean that the transit moon is approaching a sextile to your natal Venus. A sextile is considered a soft, or easy, aspect in which the energy or urge of one planet cooperated with the energy or urge of another planet.

When the transit Moon is sextile to Natal Venus, you're more amorous and people are attracted to your aura of attractiveness.  This is a good time to practice self-care, get your hair done, take a long hot, bubble-bath, have your nails done, etc... You're more social now, you want to see people and do things but more importantly you want to be seen and appreciated! Spending money is okay now, but don't overdo it!

New Moons  

A new moon occurs when both the Sun and the Moon occupy the same degree of the same sign of the zodiac at the same time. As you can see from the chart above the Sun and Moon both occupy 0° Cancer making this a new moon. New Moons bring new beginning and opportunities. 

New Moon in Cancer 

When the New Moon is in Cancer, people are generally more moody and emotions run deeper than usual They may isolate themselves in familiar surroundings and/or with close family to reflect on their emotions and nurture themselves.  Alternately, they may concern themselves more with the feelings of others and act in a more nurturing and motherly way towards them. People can open up more easily to close friends and family. 

Generally people may feel more domestic and find themselves engaging more in domestic activities such as cooking, cleaning, and making the home a place of peace, serenity, and solace.  Once should avoid overeating now as you might be apt to be more lazy and thus gain weight.  The intuition is more acute now and is felt through the emotions so your initial feelings and impressions about people and things should be give more weight as this time. 

Simply stated, the New Moon in Cancer will give you the opportunity to nurture some aspect of your life. To discover what area that would be, we look to the house that Cancer occupies in your Natal Chart. 

The House is Where it Happens 

The Astrological House in which the New Moon occurs in your Natal Chart gives an indication of the area of life activated by the New Moon and where you can expect to see the energy of the New Moon in Cancer to play out. Since the June New Moon occurs in 0° Cancer, you would look at your Natal, or Birth Chart to ascertain in what House 0° Cancer occurs.  

The Twelve Houses of Life 

1. The self, ego, appearance, initiative, leadership, fresh starts and new beginnings. 
2. Money and material matters.  Your physical environment, income, money, and your sense of self-esteem. 
3. Communication in all its forms (thinking, writing, speaking, etc... ) as well as siblings, local travel, teachers and community events. 
4. Home, privacy, your basic sense of security, your mother, children, and your own ability to nurture others.
5. Creative expression, drama, attention, love, and romance. 
6. Health and service to others. Your routine, diet, exercise and helpfulness to others. 
7. Marriage, partnerships, and relationships of all kinds.  Contracts, business deals, etc... 
8. Birth, death, sex, other people's money and property. 
9. Expansion, the higher mind, foreign matters (languages, cultures, travel) luck, adventure, risk, philosophy, ethics and morals. 
10. The public, fame, honors, reputation, awards, boundaries, rules, discipline, authority, the father. 
11. Groups of people such as friends and associations, networking, social justice.  Originality, sudden unexpected events, invention, surprises, and all things futuristic.
12. Endings. Completion, tying up loose ends, old age, karma, making amends, and the afterlife. Imagination, creativity, poetry, and the subconscious mind. 

Example 

For example, let us say that your rising sign is Scorpio that would put the New Moon in your 9th house of expansion. With the New Moon in the 9th House you could be presented with opportunities to broaden your mind and expand your horizons. You could meet new people, do new things, explore new cultures, lifestyles, and perspectives.  You may feel more adventurous and daring. Spirituality may become more important to you, and you may re-visit your spiritual beliefs and practices. You may also get the opportunity to travel, if not, you can read about new and different places that appeal to you.

Full Moon in Sagittarius 2020

Full Moob in Sagittarius 

June 5th, 2020  12:12 PM PDT
Whole House System 

A Full Moon occurs when the Sun and Moon occupy the same degree of opposite signs of the zodiac. As you can see from the chart above, the Moon is at 15° Sagittarius and the Sun is at 15° Gemini forming an opposition creating a dynamic of challenging one another; something is being split or divided.

The Big Picture 

Gemini is all about my vicinity, my neighborhood, my community, my culture. Sagittarius on the other hand is about foreign people and cultures. So there is a dynamic here of a divide between "us and them" or the "familiar vs. the unfamiliar". This is a dynamic that we will see play out in the world at large, and in our personal lives. We can see this dynamic play out by watching the news and seeing events take place in the lives of our friends and associations on social media. 

As I write this blog entry, there are major demonstrations and rioting in major cities across America. These actions where sparked by an incident in Minneapolis, MN wherein a white police officer named Derek Chauvin murdered George Floyd --- a black man who was allegedly accused of attempting to buy food with a counterfeit $20 bill. This incident has re-ignited the Black Lives Matter movement amidst the Covid 19 pandemic.  Here we see a general theme of the "familiar" vs. the "unfamiliar" or "us" vs. "them". 

How to Work with Full Moon in Sagittarius Energy

• Get out of your comfort zone 
• Practice being more honesty with yourself and others. 
• Be more independent (think and do for yourself!) 
• As much as you are able, engage in travel (even if it is an unfamiliar part of your city) 
• Explore a culture, religion, belief, or philosophy outside your own (respectfully) 
• Read up on a subject that you are interested in but have little knowledge of.
• Try some "foreign" food. 
• Get some physical exercise; go for a walk, jog, or run 
• Take a risk
• Adopt a more optimistic attitude about life. 

The Personal Touch 

To understand how the Full Moon in Sagittarius will affect you, you need to look at where Sagittarius and Gemini fall in your natal chart. 

• If Aries is your Ascendant, then Sagittarius is your 9th House.
• If Taurus is your Ascendant, then Sagittarius is your 8th House.
• If Gemini is your Ascendant, then Sagittarius is your 7th House.
• If Cancer is your Ascendant, then Sagittarius is your 6th House.
• If Leo is your Ascendant, then Sagittarius is your 5th House.
• If Virgo is your Ascendant, then Sagittarius is your 4th House.
• If Libra is your Ascendant, then Sagittarius is your 3rd House.
• If Scorpio is your Ascendant, then Sagittarius is your 2nd House.
• If Sagittarius is your Ascendant, then Sagittarius is your 1st House.
• If Capricorn is your Ascendant, then Sagittarius is your 12th House
• If Pisces is your Ascendant, then Sagittarius is your 11th House.

For example, in my birth chart Sagittarius is in the second house of my resources and personal values and Gemini is in the 8th house of shared resources. Additionally, the 8th house is associated with transformation and change, while the 2nd house likes things to stay as they are. So for me there is a divide between my resources and resources shared with others; someone or something is trying to make me change but I want things to stay as they are. 

The full moon makes a sextile to my natal Uranus bringing an openness to change softening that resistance to change stated above and can herald sudden exciting events and encounters with other people. The full moon often brings endings and completion and a full moon in the second house of finance can indicate paying off a debt or there being a danger of overspending. At any rate, this is a time when finances should be watched closely and any risky investments should be avoided. 

Where does the full moon in Sagittarius fall in your chart and how will it manifest for you?

Moon in Leo 2020

Moon in Leo

Natural Chart / Whole Houses 

Note: Last year, I didn't really cover the transits of the moon other than it's relationship to other planets and positions in the form of aspects. This year, I will be covering the Moon's journey through the zodiac at the rate of one sign per month in the natural order.

The Moon in Leo (General) 

The Moon makes a full circuit through the zodiac once every 28 1/2 days spending about 2.5 days in each sign. It's mantra is I FEEL and some keywords associated with it include, but are not limited to, childhood, cycles, emotions, feelings, habits, home, change, instincts, mother, passive, subconscious. nurturing, and imagination. The Moon rules Cancer, is Exalted in Taurus, in fall in Scorpio, and Detriment in Capricorn (see essential dignity).

When the moon is in Leo, people are more social. They want to be creative and have fun. They want to go out more, see people and do things. They feel more romantic and are in the mood for love. They are not very interested in day to day responsibilities, but rather chose play over work. There can be danger of overindulgence now which should be carefully monitored. They may also seek out more attention from others in order to receive emotional satisfaction and fulfillment. 

Where Leo falls in your Birth Chart is the area of life where you will feel the ingress of the Moon in Leo.

• If your rising sign is Aries, Leo is your 5th House. 
• If your rising sign is Taurus, Leo is your 4th House. 
• If your rising sign is Gemini, Leo is your 3rd House. 
• If your rising sign is Cancer, Leo is your 2nd House. 
• If your rising sign is Leo, Leo is your 1st House. 
• If your rising sign is Virgo, Leo is your 12th House. 
• If your rising sign is Libra, Leo is your 11th House. 
• If your rising sign is Scorpio, Leo is your 10th House. 
• If your rising sign is Sagittarius, Leo is your 9th House. 
• If your rising sign is Capricorn, Leo is your 8th House. 
• If your rising sign is Aquarius, Leo is your 7th House. 
• If your rising sign is Pisces, Leo is your 6th House. 

Example 

Moon in Leo and the 10th House 

Here the urge to express your emotions occurs in the area of your career and the public and this manifests in a confident, affectionate, and dramatic manner.  You feel that you want to advance in life and so you look to make connections with all the right people. For this reason you may be a bit more of a show off so that you can prove grab the attention of people who share your goals and show your worth to them. 

Aspects 

Aspects are another dimension of astrological interpretation that can be considered. However, since the moon moves so quickly through the zodiac any aspects it makes to Natal Planets will be short lived. For example, let us suppose that you have Venus at 2° Scorpio, then that would mean that the transit Moon at 0° Leo is making a square to your Natal Venus. A square is a type of hard, or difficult, aspect in which the energy or urge of one planet is at odds with the energy or urge of another planet. 

When the Moon forms a square to Venus you feel more vulnerable in social situations and require more reassurance. You can become more easily upset now which makes you irritable. You might experience problems with your lover or emotional upsets at home. This is not a good time for having fun.

Natural Chart / Whole Houses 

A New Moon occurs when the Sun and Moon both occupy the same degree of the same sign of the zodiac at the same time. As you can see from the above image the Sun and Moon are in 2° Gemini making this a New Moon. When the moon is in Gemini people feel more like talking about their emotions. They may feel restless, indecisive, and flighty. People are more reflective, though they may have trouble sticking to one subject for any length of time. They are more open to change and they are open-minded about the form such change may take place, but again they will find it difficult to pin things down in a decisive manner. 

The Astrological House in which the New Moon occurs in your Natal Chart gives an indication of the area of life activated by the New Moon and where you can expect to see the energy of the New Moon in Gemini to play out. Since the May New Moon occurs in 2° Gemini, you would look at your Natal, or Birth Chart to ascertain in what House 2° Gemini occurs.  

The Twelve Houses of Life 

1. The self, ego, appearance, initiative, leadership, fresh starts and new beginnings. 
2. Money and material matters.  Your physical environment, income, money, and your sense of self-esteem. 
3. Communication in all its forms (thinking, writing, speaking, etc... ) as well as siblings, local travel, teachers and community events. 
4. Home, privacy, your basic sense of security, your mother, children, and your own ability to nurture others.
5. Creative expression, drama, attention, love, and romance. 
6. Health and service to others. Your routine, diet, exercise and helpfulness to others. 
7. Marriage, partnerships, and relationships of all kinds.  Contracts, business deals, etc... 
8. Birth, death, sex, other people's money and property. 
9. Expansion, the higher mind, foreign matters (languages, cultures, travel) luck, adventure, risk, philosophy, ethics and morals. 
10. The public, fame, honors, reputation, awards, boundaries, rules, discipline, authority, the father

Chart Emphasis 

If you look at the chart above you'll notice that all of the planets occupy the left or Eastern side of the chart (in astrology the compass points are reversed). When a majority of planets are in the Eastern side of the chart when can expect people to be more proactive. They are ambitious go getters and self-starters who are self-motivated and prepared to take any risks necessary in order to obtain their goals. People will not wait around for opportunities to come to them but rather they will make their own opportunities and run with them. 

A Practical Example 

New Moon + Gemini + 8th House 

Using our keyword system the new moon in Gemini and the 8th house can translate to I feel the urge to communicate about / I am curious about deep transformation in the area of sex, and shared resources.  With the New Moon in the 8th house you may feel the need to change something about your sex life such as attracting a new lover. You may feel restless and sexually frustrated and go back and fourth about doing anything to find satisfaction. You may waffle on what it is that you want in a lover or if you really want one anyway. 

In addition let us suppose that you have Pluto at 3° Libra in your birth chart, this would mean that the New Moon in 2° Gemini is making a Trine to your Natal Pluto. A trine is a type of aspect in which the energy or urge of one planet is supportive of the energy or urge of another planet. When the Moon makes a trine to Pluto you feel more powerful, confident, and mysterious. People are attracted to your mystique and you have more sway over them.

Full Moon in Scorpio 2020

Full Moon in Scorpio 

5/7/2020  3:45 AM 

Natural Chart / Whole Houses 

A Full Moon occurs when the Sun and Moon occupy the same degree of opposite signs of the zodiac.  As you can see from the chart above, the Moon is at 17° Scorpio and the Sun is at 17° Taurus forming an opposition creating a dynamic of challenging one another; something is being split or divided.  

The Big Picture

Taurus is all about me. My money, my possessions, my values. Scorpio is about us. Our money, our possessions, our values.  So there is a dynamic here of being torn between what is mine and what is ours. We can see this energy play out on a grand scale by watching the news, looking at our newsfeeds on social media, and listening to the people around us. As I write this blog entry the big news story is about the conflict between radical people who want to open up the government and businesses now (Me) and those who wish to exercise caution and a safer approach to "getting back to normal" (Our)

The Personal Touch

To understand how the Full Moon in Scorpio affects us on a personal level we would look to see where Scorpio and Taurus falls in our natal charts. For example 17° Scorpio in my Natal Chart falls in my first house and 17° Taurus falls in my 7th house. These houses rule over the self and one's relationships respectively.  Therefore, for me, I may feel torn between my own needs as a person and the needs of my partners in business, friendships, or relationships. 

Whereas the New Moon brings new beginnings and new opportunities the Full Moon brings completion and endings. The Full Moon in Scorpio (my natal 1st house) can mean a time of introspection and self-evaluation. This can be a time wherein I am more emotional and I have to recognize and confront what I need to release in order to grow and evolve.  In addition, the Full Moon at 17° Scorpio is making a sextile (soft aspect) to my Natal Sun at 22° Virgo. What this mean for me is that the intense, passionate nature of my emotions will be in harmony with the urge to express the practical, critical, and meticulous aspects of my personality.

How to Use Full Moon in Scorpio Energy 

• Identify & explore your passions. 
• Research a topic that interests you 
• Investigate a Mystery / Solve a Puzzle (word search, crosswords, jigsaw, etc..) 
• Participate in a Treasure Hunt  
• Be more flirtatious, have a fling
• Practice self-transformation (what house in Scorpio in your natal chart?) 
• Embrace / Explore / Express your sexuality 
• Dare yourself to push past your own limitations. 

What will the Full Moon in Scorpio mean for you?

Moon in Cancer (General) 

The Moon makes a full circuit through the zodiac once every 28 1/2 days spending about 2.5 days in each sign. It's mantra is I FEEL and some keywords associated with it include, but are not limited to, childhood, cycles, emotions, feelings, habits, home, change, instincts, mother, passive, subconscious. nurturing, and imagination. The Moon rules Cancer, is Exalted in Taurus, in fall in Scorpio, and Detriment in Capricorn (see essential dignity).

The Moon is at home in Cancer because it rules Cancer. Both their mantras are I FEEL.  When the moon is in Cancer people are more emotional, sensitive, and sentimental. They are more likely to stay at home now, nurturing theirselves and their loved ones, cooking, cleaning, eating. They may be more introspective and spend more time in self-evaulation.  They are quiter than usual and more private about their thoughts and feelings. Such isolation isn't always healthy, especially if you are not built for it. Luckily this transit only last about two days. During this time, people can exhibit more emotionally needy behavior. 

The house where Cancer Falls in your natal Chart is the area of life that you will feel more emotional about. For example. 

• If your rising sign is Aries, Cancer is your 4th House. 
• If your rising sign is Taurus, Cancer is your 3rd House. 
• If your rising sign is Gemini, Cancer is your 2nd House. 
• If your rising sign is Cancer, Cancer is your 1st House. 
• If your rising sign is Leo, Cancer is your 12th House. 
• If your rising sign is Virgo, Cancer is your 11th House. 
• If your rising sign is Libra, Cancer is your 10th House. 
• If your rising sign is Scorpio, Cancer is your 9th House. 
• If your rising sign is Sagittarius, Cancer is your 8th House. 
• If your rising sign is Capricorn, Cancer is your 7th House. 
• If your rising sign is Aquarius, Cancer is your 6th House. 
• If your rising sign is Pisces, Cancer is your 5th House. 

Example 

Moon in Cancer and the 9th House 

I feel emotional about my sense of freedom and adventure. 

When the moon is in Cancer and the 9th house, you feel adventurouse. With social distancing in place, you may feel a strong urge to get out of the house, to explore, to get away, to have an adventure. You simply want freedom. If you can't physically get away, you may explore the world by looking at pictures online, or reading books about foreign places or travel. You can let go of the burden of responsibilities and expectations now, you're less serious and more optimistic. You can be more defensive about your beliefs and opinions. You may become more interested in your own evolving spiritual growth and development.

Aspects

Aspects are another dimension of astrological interpretation. Let us suppose then that you have Saturn in 3° Cancer, then the Transit Moon would be applying a conjunction to your Natal Saturn. A conjunction is a type of neutral aspect in which the energy or urge of one planet blends with the energy or urge of another planet and you can no longer tell them apart. 

When the Transit Moon makes a conjunction to Natal Saturn you have more control over your emotions and will not allow yourself to be controlled by them. Your ability to make decisions is better now because you make them based on facts not feelings. You have a more realistic perspective now.

The Moon in Gemini

Moon in Gemini

Natural Chart / Whole Houses 

Note: Last year, I didn't really cover the transits of the moon other than it's relationship to other planets and positions in the form of aspects. This year, I will be covering the Moon's journey through the zodiac at the rate of one sign per month in the natural order. 

Moon in Gemini (General) 

The Moon makes a full circuit through the zodiac once every 28 1/2 days spending about 2.5 days in each sign. It's mantra is I FEEL and some keywords associated with it include, but are not limited to, childhood, cycles, emotions, feelings, habits, home, change, instincts, mother, passive, subconscious. nurturing, and imagination. The Moon rules Cancer, is Exalted in Taurus, in fall in Scorpio, and Detriment in Capricorn (see essential dignity).

Gemini's mantra is I COMMUNICATE (it's ruler is Mercury) so when the Moon is in Gemini you feel more comfortable expressing your emotions and feelings. It's easier for you to open up to other people and get things off your chest of an emotional nature. The downside is you can be more vulnerable to criticism or hurtful words. During the short time that the Moon is transiting Gemini you may also find that you are busier than you normally are or that you get bored more easily if you have nothing to do. This is a good time to harness that energy to finish old projects or get involved in your community in some way. 

The house where Gemini falls in your chart is the area of life that you will feel more comfortable talking about. 

• If your rising sign is Aries, Gemini is your 3rd House. 
• If your rising sign is Taurus, Gemini is your 2nd House. 
• If your rising sign is Gemini, Gemini is your 1st House. 
• If your rising sign is Cancer, Gemini is your 12th House. 
• If your rising sign is Leo, Gemini is your 11th House. 
• If your rising sign is Virgo, Gemini is your 10th House. 
• If your rising sign is Libra, Gemini is your 9th House. 
• If your rising sign is Scorpio, Gemini is your 8th House. 
• If your rising sign is Sagittarius, Gemini is your 7th House. 
• If your rising sign is Capricorn, Gemini is your 6th House. 
• If your rising sign is Aquarius, Gemini is your 5th House. 
• If your rising sign is Pisces, Gemini is your 4th House. 

Example

Moon + Gemini + 8th House 

I feel + I communicate + sex, death, birth, transformation, shared resources, and spirituality. 

When the Moon is in Gemini and the 8th House you're emotional about shared resources like debt and other bills. You waver between keeping your fears to yourself and wanting to talk to someone about them.  You can be more possessive of the things that you have fearing that you might lose them or you can become jealous of the things that other people have. 

Aspects 

Aspects or relationship between planets is another dimension of astrological interpretation that should be considered. In this instance we look at any aspects forming between the Transit Moon and planets in the Natal Chart. Let us say that you have Jupiter in 2° Aquarius in your natal Chart, that would mean that the Transit Moon is making a applying a Trine to Natal Jupiter. A trine is a type of aspect in which the energy of one planet is supportive of the energy or urge of another planet. 

Moon + Trine + Jupiter 

I feel supports I expand 

When the Moon forms a trine to Jupiter your mood is more pleasant, optimistic and cheerful. Domestic matters and relationships (especially with women) go smoother. You feel luckier which leads to you being more generous. 

Ruler of the House 

The Ruler of the House is another aspect that should be examined. The Moon rules Cancer so the house which Cancer occupies in your Natal Chart is the area of life that will be impacted by the ingress of the Moon in Gemini. To interpret the Moon as a house ruler you have to ask yourself two questions. They are:

1. What House does Cancer (Ruled by the Moon) occupy in my Natal Chart?
2. What House does Gemini (Moon transiting Gemini) occupy in my Natal Chart? 

Let us suppose that Cancer is your 9th House which would make Gemini your 8th House. Then you would say that the Ruler of the 9th House (Cancer) is in the 8th House (Gemini). What this means is that the ruler of the 9th House This can be expressed as the activities of the 9th house service the urge and activities of the 8th house. This can be expressed as higher education, travel and meeting different people serve passion, intensity, sex and shared resources. 

When can then extrapolate on this statement and say something like "You use higher education to help you find your passion. Travel to foreign places allow you to explore the forbidden or unspoken. You use sex to search for meaningful life experiences. This may lead you to explore the sexual practices of other cultures of belief systems (tantric sex for example). You explore the link between sexuality and spirituality. "

How will the ingress of the Moon into Gemini manifest for you?
