A full moon occurs when the transit (moving) Sun and Moon are exactly opposing one another in the zodiac. It tends to signal a time of endings, culminations, and things coming to fruition. A new moon occurs when when the transit Sun and Moon are in the exact same spot in the zodiac. It tends to signal a time of new opportunities, growth, and optimism.
December 10th 2011 Lunar Eclipse in Gemini The lunar eclipse on the 10th is at 9:37AM ET and occurs at 18 degrees 8 minutes of Gemini. A lunar eclipse is basically a full moon that has the Sun and Moon in the same signs as the lunar nodes. It also has about the same impact as a full moon, but on a larger scale, and for a longer period of time. In Gemini, we're looking at significant endings and culminations related to mental activity, communications, and our day-to-day business. If there's something you need to say to someone, or about something important, say it now. Just make sure you choose your words carefully, because they'll be more likely to be laden with emotion. Watch for breakdowns/problems with technology or electronics. This is a good Moon to write down everything you need to finish (not start, FINISH) of the little things in your life and get them done. If you're a Gemini Sun or Moon between 16 and 20 degrees, or have a Gemini rising in the second half of the sign, you'll feel the effects of this Moon most. December 24th New Moon in Capricorn The new moon on the 24th is at 1:07PM ET and occurs at 2 degrees 34 minutes of Capricorn. Just in time for Christmas! Well, Capricorn is a little more detached and isolated than the other signs, so this'll be a less emotional holiday, and a lot of people may be working through the holiday or spending it alone. Capricorn's more frugal too, so spending less also. Makes sense with this bad economy, eh? It's not all depressing with Capricorn though, rather, it's more like we're being realistic about the situation and our lives and acting accordingly. What's this Moon good for? Work, and lots of it, as long as it's geared towards our career goals and/or will improve our standing in our job or society. Capricorn's an earth sign, so it's also good for environmental matters. If you're a Capricorn Sun or Moon between 0 and 4 degrees, or a Capricorn rising, you'll feel the effects of this Moon most. General horoscopes are always meant for entertainment purposes only. For a more accurate view, read your Sun sign, Rising sign, and Moon sign.
ARIES Midmonth your focus may shift towards your work environment, like looking for/getting a new job; improving your health or dealing with a health issue; and daily habits, perhaps kicking a bad habit or starting a positive new one. The 7th may be a good day for seeing a movie, reading a book, or listening to music. The 16th seems like it may be a day of optimism. You may feel powerful on the 23rd. Mercury retrograde is nearly here! What is Mercury retrograde? A planet is called retrograde when it's moving backwards; it's not ACTUALLY moving backwards, it just appears that way from our vantage point here on Earth. When a planet retrogrades, it makes the stuff the planet rules all wonky. Mercury retrograde is important because it happens 3-4 times every year, and because Mercury rules communications and technology, two hugely important parts of our lives today. So almost anything can get messed up!
We enter the first Mercury storm period November 19th and exit November 28th. We enter the second Mercury storm period December 10th and exit December 19th. The storm of Mercury is when Mercury is moving at it's slowest, less than 40 minutes per day. Mercury is normally a fast mover, so he HATES the slow movement. We usually have two storm periods, one around the date Mercury turns retrograde, and one around the date Mercury turns direct (begins forward movement). Mercury turns retrograde November 24th at 2:19AM ET, and direct on December 13th at 8:43PM ET. This retrograde occurs in the sign of Sagittarius, turning retrograde at 20 degrees and direct at 3 degrees. Sagittarius ruled stuff will be hit most: long-distance travel, the law, higher learning, philosophical beliefs. December 4th could prove to be a difficult day with the Sun conjunct and Mars square Mercury. For how the retrograde will impact you, see which house Mercury will be touring through. If Mercury will cross over a house cusp or turn retrograde or direct near a house cusp or closely aspecting a natal planet, you'll usually feel it most. Those with a Sagittarius Sun, Moon, Mercury, Venus, Mars, or Ascendant will feel it most. The exceptions? If you have Mercury retrograde natally or progressed. Then you're in the clear! Well, sort of. Most of the people you deal with won't have Mercury retrograde natally or progressed, so they could mess you up. Mercury is good for re-'s (redo, renovate, rethink, revise, etc.). So just hang on and remember, we're all in this together! And if anything goes wrong, just blame Mercury. A full moon occurs when the transit (moving) Sun and Moon are exactly opposing one another in the zodiac. It tends to signal a time of endings, culminations, and things coming to fruition.

November 10th 2011 Full Moon in Taurus The full moon on the 10th is at 3:16PM ET and occurs at 18 degrees 4 minutes of Taurus. Taurus is the sign of the senses, and our senses become more tied to our emotional states with a full moon. Indulge a little - but not too much. Taurus rules your income, the money you have to spend, so this is a good moon to end any financial disputes or troubles. Of course, if you've been financially irresponsible, you might have to pay for it under this Moon too. We may feel more lazy, which is fine if you don't have anything to do, but it can get you in trouble if you do. Full moon generally aren't good times to start new things, so you can put that off a few weeks, but if you need to bring closure to something, don't stall. If you're a Taurus Sun or Moon between 16 and 20 degrees, or have a Sagittarius rising in the second half of the sign, you'll feel the effects of this Moon most. November 25th 2011 Solar Eclipse in Sagittarius The solar eclipse on the 25th is at 2:10AM ET and occurs at 2 degrees 38 minutes of Sagittarius. A solar eclipse is basically a new moon that occurs in the same sign as one of the lunar nodes. Because of this, the effects of a solar eclipse are similar to a new moon, but heightened and longer-lasting. Instead of weeks, we're talking months. This is excellent for Saggy things, and we feel much more optimistic and have a positive outlook on the world and the future. We want to connect with other cultures and experience other ways of living. Breaking barriers and roaming free is so Sag. This is a great Moon to travel under if you can and want to. If you can't go far, something near works too, as long as it's something that opens you up to something new. Spending time outdoors is good as well. No matter what, take the time to get in a good laugh - Sagittarius loves the lighter side of life. If you're a Sagittarius Sun or Moon between 0 and 4 degrees, or a Sagittarius rising, you'll feel the effects of this Moon most. |
