New Moon on Monday Astrology

19 September 2011

The Moon changes signs every two and a half days.  It always goes through the signs in the order of the zodiac:  Aries, Taurus, Gemini, Cancer, Leo, Virgo, Libra, Scorpio, Sagittarius, Capricorn, Aquarius, Pisces, and back to Aries again. 

The Moon rules the public, and the sign the Moon is in from day to day colors our general mood.  

All of the entries on this blog that don’t have a title up top are about the Moon changing signs.  Every month when the Moon moves into Aries, I use a new theme to show the Moon’s move into a new sign.  Last time it was planets and glyphs, this time around it’s the mythological god that rules the sign (we’re at Gemini right now, the third sign in).  

Since the Moon moves so fast, it’s a good place to start watching the stars.  

Moonsign posts always describe a few traits of any given sign, and therefore some of the feelings that might be coloring our mood at the moment.  Remember, the qualities and keywords of any sign describe the sign itself, not every single person born while their Sun (or their Moon, or anything else) was in that sign.  

Signs are like genres.  Not every movie of the same genre is exactly the same, but they all have a similar feeling.  The Moon is a good place to see how that sign/genre can color the mood from day to day.  Then you can start applying that mood/genre to other planets as they travel through the signs, then you can start picking it up in people. 

You know, when you grope for Luna ~
