The Moon through the Signs


The Moon’s cycle (the time it takes to orbit the Earth once) is 29 and a half days and she spends approximately two and a half days in each Zodiac sign.

Below is a brief description of the energies you may feel as the Moon moves through each sign. The energies are most potent when it is a Full Moon or a New Moon.

The widget on the right shows which phase the Moon is in right now.

To find out what sign the Moon is in now, see the Void of Course Moon table.

When the Moon is in Aries things move fast and people are impatient. These are good days for forceful, fiery, fearless types who want to take charge. These are not good days for making compromises.

When the Moon is in Taurus things just keep ticking over slowly. These are good days for types who enjoy slowing down and enjoying the finer things in life. These are not good days for making big changes.

When the Moon is in Gemini things become restless and ideas are shared. These are good days for communicative, active types who like to connect with others. These are not good days for standing still and contemplating the bigger picture.

When the Moon is in Cancer things become more nurturing. These are good days for types who like security and prefer being with close loved ones. These are not good days for moving out of your comfort zone.

When the Moon is in Leo things are playful and dramatic. These are good days for prima-donna types who like to perform and gain recognition. These are not good days for being shy and retiring.

When the Moon is in Virgo things become more introverted and analytical. These are good days for helpful, discerning, down to earth types. These are not good days for showing off or going on flights of fancy.

When the Moon is in Libra things become more balanced, harmonious and beautiful. These are good days for sociable, idealistic, fair minded types. These are not good days for selfish, uncooperative behaviour.

When the Moon is in Scorpio things become intense and mysterious. These are good days for deep, forceful, resourceful types. These are not good days for losing control of emotions.

When the Moon is in Sagittarius things are fun and spontaneous. These are good days for adventurous, active, optimistic types. These are not good days for moping, nit-picking or for being pessimistic.

When the Moon is in Capricorn things get serious and disciplined. These are good days for practical, ambitious, organised types. These are not good days for being lazy and shirking duties.

When the Moon is in Aquarius things can be unpredictable. These are good days for eccentric, intellectual, inventive, humanitarian types. These are not good days for following convention and tradition.

When the Moon is in Pisces things are ethereal and dreamy. These are good days for sensitive, intuitive, creative, compassionate types. These are not good days for setting boundaries, rules and limits.

What is a Twinflame?

Twin Flame reunions are the most fulfilling relationships we can enter into as humans, on all levels. However, twin flame couples have been extremely rare on the planet, and for good reasons, which will be described later. Despite this, we are finding that more and more twins are finding each other now, because of the acceleration of spiritual transformation and opportunities for soul evolution we are all experiencing. People are evolving and learning and healing at such a fast rate that they are getting ready for their twins faster. What used to take lifetimes to learn and heal, people are now going through in years or even months. This is the astounding level of acceleration we and the planet are going through.

When twins get together, it is for some kind of spiritual service work. This is their primary reason for finding each other, because through their union a huge birthing of creative energy is released, to be used for their mission together. More and more twins are attempting to get together now to help the planet and humanity make a big shift forward in consciousness.

However, many of these attempts at reunion are unsuccessful because the individual people are not quite ready for the intensity of a twin flame union. It is more intense than any other union, and this intensity is at a soul level, not as much in the physical or even emotional bodies. This doesn't mean that there isn't a good attraction at those levels as well, but the strongest attraction is of spirit. This is one of the distinguishing characteristics of a twin soul. Many people think they have met their twin because the attraction is so intense, but it is a karmic attraction, one of need or bodily desire rather than the Divine Love of twins.

Your chance of meeting and staying with your twin depends on how evolved your soul is, and how much of your baggage from this and past lives you have cleared. The biggest reason twins have to separate after coming together is their individual emotional baggage. Because in the presence of your twin, there can be nothing between you, nothing blocking your closeness. This means that everything comes up for healing that you haven't previously healed. Everything!

When twins reunite, both of them experience an acceleration of their spiritual growth and awakening. They get on the fast track of learning about esoteric wisdom and experiencing other states of consciousness. They usually haven't been together all that often during their series of lives on the planet, and so their backgrounds may be different. Yet, there is a closeness and similarities of spirit that are almost uncanny, noticed in many ways, such as looking back at yourself when you look at your mate, and a remembering of the distant past when you first split up. Guidance is strong with these relationships, and usually one or both have a good channel for communication with Spirit. Their connection is telepathic, and hugging each other is like coming home for nourishment.

Signs that you have found your Twinflame

An overwhelming sense of love and attraction.

A sense of completion that goes beyond words.

A magnetism to the other stronger than anything you have ever experienced.

You will complement one another.

The ability to literally feel one another whether you are with or without your partner.

A feeling that you are so close you just might be related - like a brother or a sister.

A complete and total breakdown of your lives as you knew them upon finding one another.

The power to touch the other without physical means from great distances.

Over the course of your life you may have dreams of a "mystery man/woman."

Synchronicities will be abundant. You may find yourselves calling, emailing and texting one another at the exact same time. You may also find yourselves buying each other the same gifts.

You may feel your heart wanting to jump out of your chest at the sound of his/hers voice.

The ability to feel each others emotions, whether they be happy or sad ones, from great distances.

The desire to be with one another no matter what the obstacle blocking your way.

The ability to dream of your partner in their current state and verify the accuracy of that dream, later.

You may notice the ability to collapse time as you knew it. Upon your coming together, time itself will cease to exist.

When you and your partner are out and about, you may notice the eyes of everyone are upon you. Your love for one another will be so great that it is not uncommon for the eyes of everyone to be upon the two of you.

You may find yourselves completing each others sentences, sometimes even before you have the chance to begin them.

Upon connecting with your twin flame/soulmate, you may find that you are practically mirror images of one another and that you may want to even run from your partner because of the things you see in yourself from the reflection of his/her eyes.

If you currently live apart, (even at great distances) you may notice the power to be sexually intimate without ever even physically touching the other.

You may notice that any of your bad habits, ie. smoking, drinking, or whatever they be, will adversely effect you. Even in your diet, food that you used to be able to eat, will have to be set aside.

You may find that certain dates in your lives, ie. birthdays or the even the day you met, will fit perfectly into the Fibonacci Sequence or the number 11 11.

A realization that this isn't the first time the two of you have met. Past life experiences.

Netpune in Pisces and You


Neptune in Pisces: Where is going to affect you?

In 2011, Neptune will be barely beginning its journey in Pisces, but it will give you a glimpse of what area of your life is going to start longing, yearning, envisioning or imagining what could be possible.

Remember that Neptune will be in Pisces until 2025, so whatever changes this planet will bring are bound to happen gradually over time.

Look at the house where Neptune will be transiting in you chart and check out the definitions below.

1st House Neptune: The house of self and potential

Neptune will attune your body and mind to the existence of a higher energy. With Neptune transiting your 1st house, you will discover a more idealistic, dreamy and sensitive side of yourself. You might want to develop a spiritual practice based on physical exercise such as yoga.

2nd House Neptune: The House of money and values

Your value system will undergo a complete change, putting some more spirituality on how you make money and dissolving any previous bias. You need to be more careful with investments as Neptune is notorious for not letting you see clearly.

3rd House Neptune: The House of communications

With Neptune transiting your 3rd house, intuition takes over and you learn how to use it in daily communications. A deeper appreciation for other forms of non-verbal expression can surface

You are likely to discover imaginative means of expressing yourself. Neptune stimulates your imagination and intuition. Your words are more poetic and perhaps even inspirational.

4th House Neptune: The House of home, parents, and family of origin

Family roots, family past become the focus of Neptune. This cycle can bring a yearning for a close-knit relationship with family members and/or at the same time some disappointment and disillusions with family interaction.

You might also face situations requiring sacrifices and devoting much free time to care for family members.

5th House Neptune: The House of creativity, fun, children, romance, and pleasure

Neptune brings a more romantic attitude towards love, children, and creativity. As the master of illusion and deception, Neptune can give you some rose-colored lenses in your intimate relationships during this time.

The intuitive and imaginative qualities of creativity are enhanced during this period.

6th House Neptune: The House of work, health, habits, and service

Neptune will unveil a whole new, more authentic lifestyle better suited to your own personality. Changes in everyday routine will be implemented in order to improve your health. Mysterious allergies and elusive diagnostics can be a common problem during this transit, forcing you to take better care of your health by avoiding stress.

Discovering how you can be of service to others can be part of the picture with Neptune this house.

Dissolution of unhealthy habits, routines and schedules can also be another manifestation of this transit, although sticking to a healthy lifestyle can also prove challenging.

7th House: House of Relationships

The Neptune in Pisces energy in your house of relationships brings confusion, uncertainty, ambiguities to your one-on-one relationships. Issues related to dependency take the forefront known as you learn about your own ideals of unconditional love.

Some will develop the spiritual aspect of relationships and how it can help you connect with others.

8th House: The House of Endings and other people’s resources

Discovering the spiritual side of sex. Discovering how to deal with death in a more spiritual manner.

Neptune in the 8th house can blur the boundaries between what’s yours and what belongs to your partner, be it money, resources or anything that is shared.

Clarity of vision can be muddled with finances and investments that seemed promising can prove to be no more than sand castles. Extra precaution should be taken during this time, as you can easily be deceived.

9th House: The House of the Higher Mind

With Neptune in your 9th house of the Higher Mind, there will be a strong need to expand with mind and your consciousness in the form of unusual, mystical, or spiritual teachings.

A desire to travel to exotic places, places of knowledge and wisdom in order to learn the about human nature is not unheard of.

10th House: The House of Social Standing

Confusion, uncertainty about your career path might be a characteristic of Neptune in this sector of your chart. The career steps that you had devised to establish your professional reputation might become less clear-cut and obvious. A clear vision seems to elude you.

11th House: The House of Group Relationships

In this house, Neptune will have you confront issues not only related to your standing among groups and associations, but also finding the right balance between individuality and belonging to a community. Nonetheless, Neptune’s movement through your social house will adds imagination and a mysterious je-ne-sais-quoi to your social life.

During this transit, the struggle will be between the yearning to belong to a likeminded group who share the same ideals and merge with them and the realities of the demand these same groups put on your time.

During this transit, Neptune might bring along a different set of friends form what you are used too. They might be more artistic, creative, spiritual or simply quirky, but always with a certain mystery and elusiveness to them.

12th House: The House of the Unconscious

While in the house of its rulership, Neptune in Pisces can bring unconscious stuff up to the surface that has been buried deep down or never acknowledged.

Dreams, intuition, imagination, spirituality are highlighted during this time. Suddenly, you “see” symbols, signs, and omens that carry meaning, as if you were building your trust and faith in the mysteries of life. You are building your faith in all that is “unseen”.

Retrograde


http://www.drstandley.com/astrologycharts_retrogrademotion.shtml




  • Saturn Retrograde




  • Uranus Retrograde




  • Neptune Retrograde




  • Pluto Retrograde




  • Retrograde Motion


    WHAT DOES 'OUT OF ITS SHADOW MEAN'?

    Retrograde motion pulls back and gives you an opportunity to take care of your past (old business). The past that needs to be resolved is directly related to the planet involved. Mercury retrograde has to do with communciation, YOUR COMMUNICATION. Pluto retrograde has to do with transformation, YOUR TRANSFORMATION. Jupiter retrograde has to do with abundance, YOUR ABUNDANCE. 'Out of its Shadow' means after the planet leaves its retrograde (backward) motion and goes direct (forward) again making its way back to the degree that it was before it went retrograde. In other words, it's when the planet is back to its old self. Now you can start again (a do-over so to speak) and prayerfully you learned something during the retrograde experience or took care of the past while the planet was retrograde and now you get to move forward under better circumstances than you would have had the planet not gone retrograde. Retrograde motion isn't a bad thing folks, it's actually meant to serve your higher purpose. Everything is always for your higher purpose.

    Retrograde Motion is misleading!
    Retrograde motion is when it APPEARS as though a planet is actually moving in a backward motion due to the relation of the planet to the earth in its particular position at a certain point in time.


  • Saturn Retrograde




  • Uranus Retrograde




  • Neptune Retrograde




  • Pluto Retrograde




  • Let's face it, planets are NEVER actually retrograde (moving backward) or stationary (stopped). This is a phenomenon due to the Sun casting a shadow on the planet making it appear as though it is stationary or that it is in retrograde motion.

    Even when a planet "APPEARS" to be in retrograde motion its influence does not change, BUT your individual response to that particular influence of that planet may be different. Unless of course, you remember that this is merely an illusion. IT ISN'T REAL!!!

    So how can you use retrograde motion to your advantage?

    When a planet is said to be in retrograde motion, you can focus on the energy of the planet (like Mercury) and become more efficient in adopting its positive attributes. So when Mercury is said to be in retrograde motion and it appears communications are going to heck in a hand-basket, this is merely our response and not what actually is. Again, look up Mercury or the retrograde planet in question on the planetary symbols page and adopt the positive attributes of that planet.

    The Sun and Moon are never retrograde or stationary. The North and South Node are ALWAYS retrograde.
