New Moon on Monday Astrology

The Moon travels through all 12 signs each month.  As it does so, it makes a series of contacts to each of the planets in your chart.  These contacts, or “transits” in Astrology, affect your personal weather and your mood. Since the Moon moves so fast, they are not long lasting transits, each only affecting you for about a day at a time.

Since the Moon repeats these cycles every single month, it’s a great place to start watching the patterns in Astrology, and seeing how these transits might manifest for you, personally.  The following report gives some possible indications of how each transit might affect your chart, but remember, each of us experiences the energy from the sky in our own personal way.  A Moon transit to Mars might make one person very energetic, and another very angry.  Or it might affect the same person in each of these ways on two different occasions.  Watch the Moon as it moves through the signs, and pay attention to how these transits manifest for you.  Once you start to see the patterns, you’ll start to understand how to use them in the most productive ways. 

Remember:  there are always other planets transiting your chart as well, and these can further color your day to day weather.  But learning how the Moon affects you is the perfect place to start understanding Astrology.

You can always look to see where the Moon is on Astro.com.  The lower left hand corner of the home page lists the current position of all of the planets.  The Moon is the second planet listed, and the degree that it is at is the number to the left of the symbol for that sign.  (My blog will always list the sign the Moon is in, but for the specific degree, go to Astro.com!)

Everybody’s Moon cycle is unique and specific to your individual chart. You can use this report each month as the Moon goes through each of the signs. These reports will be $25 through the end of the month.  Contact me here.  

MOON CYCLE REPORT

TAURUS / CANCER RISING / LEO MOON

14 May 1978 in Chicago, Illinois 8:14 am

MOON CYCLE REPORT

MOON IN LEO/ LUNAR RETURN

Early Leo (0-10 degrees): No aspects

Long, slow days.  Not a lot of activity.  Conclusion of the previous month’s cycle.

Mid Leo (11-20 degrees):

Moon square Uranus / Moon conjunct Moon+Mars / Moon trine Neptune/Moon in the 3^rd House

Each month, when the Moon returns to the degree it was at when you were born, you have what’s called a “Lunar Return”.  This is a day when you are closely connected to what you really need, what really makes you feel safe.  All of the aspects that the Moon makes in your natal chart repeat on this day.  It’s a great time to step back and really think about your needs and what you’re doing to satisfy them. 

You have a natal conjunction between your Moon and your Mars, and this means you need to take action.  This day is well suited to taking action, and with your natal square between the Moon and the planet Uranus and trine between the Moon and Neptune, that action should be something that asserts your individuality (Uranus) and is creative, and imaginative (Neptune). This is also a great time to make intentions about how you’d like the next month to be. 

Late Leo (21-30 degrees):

Moon conjunct Saturn and square Sun / Moon trine Mercury

Watch out for feeling isolated or even lonely.  The antidote to this is as easy as getting some hard work done.  You’re able to focus and communicate at your best right now.  Get a project started and you’ll find yourself surrounded with people to talk to in now time. 

MOON IN VIRGO

Early Virgo (0-10 degrees):

Moon sextile Jupiter + Ascendant

This is happy, lucky, go out and have a good time weather.  Great for being around people. Enjoy yourself.

Mid Virgo (11-20 degrees)~ Moon in the 4^th House

Moon conjunct IC / Moon sextile Uranus / Moon square Neptune

When the Moon is in the 4^th House, you feel more like being at home.  This doesn’t mean you don’t want to be around people, but it’s better to bring them into your environment – it’s perfect weather for hostessing.  The sextile to Uranus brings the chance to switch up your routine a bit and the square to Neptune means you’ll be productive if you challenge your imagination.

Late Virgo (21-30 degrees):

Moon square Venus / Moon trine Sun

Good vibes.  You’ll easily be yourself, with anybody you encounter today.  You’ll likely have your mind on the love stuff, but not in a bad way. 

MOON IN LIBRA

Early Libra (0-10 degrees):

Moon square Jupiter + Ascendant

More good vibes.  But now’s when you might start to question yourself and/or start trying to prove something you don’t necessarily need to prove.  Try to stay within your boundaries.

Mid Libra (11-20 degrees) ~ Moon in the 5^th House

Moon conjunct Pluto / Moon sextile Moon + Mars / Moon sextile Neptune / Moon trine Venus

You might be feeling interior.  You’re thinking very deeply about who you really are and what you really need – but you have every resource at your disposal to express whatever you’re going through in creative ways.  Alternately, you might have some kind of deep experience today that makes you start to question things.  Be careful of resisting too hard in any situation.

Late Libra (21-30 degrees):

Moon sextile Saturn / Moon opposed Mercury

Get back to work.  Whatever you’ve been going through will work itself out, but this is a time to remember your mundane duties in the every day world. 

MOON IN SCORPIO

Early Scorpio (1-10 degrees)

Moon trine Jupiter + Ascendant

Back to the good times.  You’re completely enabled to be yourself and you want to be out and about and enjoying your friends and the things you love to do. 

Mid Scorpio (11-20 degrees)

Moon trine Midheaven/Moon conjunct Uranus

You assert your individuality more than usual and seek out experiences and activities that are unusual from your day-to-day experience.  Good weather for making connections that can help you get ahead in the world.

Late Scorpio (21-30 degrees)

Moon opposite Sun and square Mars / Moon in the 6^th House

Clean house.  Anything you’ve been neglecting may make itself known and demand some closure.  The Moon in the 6^th House is good for paying attention to the details and anything involving your health or perfecting your daily routine. 

MOON IN SAGITTARIUS

Early Sagittarius (1-10 degrees)

No Aspects

Great weather for just plain catching up with yourself. 

Mid Sagittarius (11-20 degrees)

Moon square Midheaven / Moon trine Moon + Mars and sextile Pluto / Moon conjunct Neptune / Moon opposite Venus

Lots of active emotions.  Make plenty of room for yourself – this is a time you can come to some epic realizations.  Alternatively, watch out for getting lost in daydreams or obsessing about the love stuff. 

Late Sagittarius (21-30 degrees)

Moon trine Mercury

Here comes the clarity.  You’re able to focus again. 

MOON IN CAPRICORN

Early Capricorn (1-10 degrees)

Moon conjunct Descendant / Moon in the 7^th House

You are very concerned with relationships and want to be around other people.  But you’re much more emotionally invested than usual right now, especially in your closest relationships – watch out for acting from pure impulse, remember to think first. Situations you come across know will be mirroring something back for you to learn about yourself.

Mid Capricorn (11-20 degrees)

Moon sextile Midheaven/Moon sextile Uranus/Moon trine Pluto

Again – watch out for acting impulsively, or even compulsively.  If you can keep your wits about you this is powerful weather for moving forward instead of becoming mired in your past.

Late Capricorn (21-30 degrees)

Moon trine Sun / Moon square Jupiter / Moon in the 8^th House.

Great energy.  Again, you’re completely enabled to be yourself and your mood is quite generous and optimistic.  You feel empowered.  Be out in the world and have a beautiful day.

MOON IN AQUARIUS

Early Aquarius (1-10 degrees)

No aspects, but the Moon is still in the 8^th House meaning possible intense and deep emotions.  Watch out for trying to dig too deep for information you don’t necessarily really want.

Mid Aquarius (11-20 degrees)

Moon square Uranus / Moon opposite Moon+Mars and trine Pluto / Moon sextile Neptune / Moon trine Venus / Moon in the 9^th House

You might be feeling extra contrary, at the very least you want to go against the grain from what everybody else is doing.  You’re in the mood for an adventure.  This isn’t necessarily a bad thing but watch out for overindulgence.  Not the best weather for getting your work done.

Late Aquarius (21-30 degrees)

Moon Sextile Mercury

Now’s the time to get back to business.  Good energy for finding your focus and/or being out in the community.

MOON IN PISCES

Early Pisces (1-10 degrees)

Moon trine Jupiter+Ascendant

Good mood, feeling like yourself again.  Ability to stay on the right road.

Mid Pisces (11-20 degrees)

Moon conjunct Midheaven/Moon trine Uranus/Moon Square Neptune/Moon square Venus/Moon in the 10^th House

You’re thinking more about where you’re headed.  You’re more concerned than usual about your role amongst your friends or your coworkers or even your family.  This is a good time to get creative about it – you almost have a sixth sense about what you need to do to improve your situation. 

Late Pisces (21-30 degrees)

MOON VOID OF COURSE

Things don’t always go as planned and/or seem stalled beyond belief.  This is great weather for just chilling out with friends – not so good for anything that holds a lot of importance or weight.  Try to push those kinds of things back until the Moon moves into Aries.

MOON IN ARIES

Early Aries (1-10 degrees)

Moon square Jupiter+Ascendant

You’re extra sensitive to emotions right now – those of others as well as your own.  This can be a good or a bad thing, depending on how you handle it, but chances are you’re feeling extra generous and good-hearted.  Good weather for being with closer friends.

Mid Aries (11-20 degrees)

Moon trine Moon+Mars and opposite Pluto/Moon trine Neptune/Moon sextile Venus/ Moon in the 11^th House

Here’s where you get even more sensitive, possibly to the point of touchy.  Watch out for feeling confused and remember there is plenty of opportunity to find a kind ear to hear you if you look for it.  

Late Aries (21-30 degrees)

Moon trine Saturn / Moon conjunct Mercury

You come back up for air and start dealing with the practicalities again.  This is a great time for getting work done, especially anything you’ve been procrastinating.

MOON IN TAURUS

Early Taurus (1-10 degrees)

Moon sextile Jupiter+Ascendant

Good weather to keep on moving.  You might be having second thoughts or wanting to just stay in and away from people but you’ll be a thousand times more successful if you just keep moving now.

Mid Taurus (11-20 degrees)

Moon sextile Midheaven/Moon sextile Uranus/Moon square Moon+Mars

Watch out for being too hard on yourself.  Also do your best not to overextend your energy in places you aren’t actually that invested in. 

Late Taurus (21-30 degrees)

Moon conjunct Sun and Square Saturn / Moon in the 12^th House

Great time for new intentions but again, watch out for being too hard on yourself.  Pay attention to your dreams.

MOON IN GEMINI

Early Gemini (1-10 degrees)

No Activity

Hurry up and wait.  But keep paying attention to those dreams until the Moon is out of Gemini– they might be trying to tell you something. 

Mid Gemini (11-20 degrees)

Moon square Midheaven/Moon sextile Moon+Mars and trine Pluto/Moon opposite Neptune/Moon conjunct Venus

Deep emotions trying to get to the surface. Better weather for staying in but also super conducive to any sort of creative expression. 

Late Gemini (21-30 degrees)

Moon sextile Saturn

Hard work and concentration helps you get past whatever’s been haunting you.

MOON IN CANCER

Early Cancer (1-10 degrees)

Moon conjunct Jupiter+Ascendant/Moon in the 1^st House

You’re able to start connecting with people again.  People are drawn to you and you feel very strongly like helping them out.

Mid Cancer (11-20 degrees)

Moon trine Midheaven/Moon trine Uranus/Moon square Pluto

This weather could go either way: you’re feeling extra confident and powerful and using this to get ahead – or you’re obsessing over something in a very compulsive way and it’s totally holding you back.  Your choice.

Late Cancer (21-30 degrees)

Moon sextile Sun/Moon square Mercury/Moon in the 2^nd House

Here’s where your mood stabilizes in the best of ways.  Good for being around people. 

Happy Stars!
