  • THIS SCORPIO FULL MOON REACTIVATES THE MARS RETROGRADE PERIOD FROM THE FALL OF 2005.
    Today's 22° Scorpio Full Moon is very intense for several reasons. The Sun is at the opposite point of 22° Taurus which is a degree from the point where Mars turned retrograde last October 1, 2005, giving this Full Moon the power to metaphorically awaken the dead and reactivate the suppressed Mars energy directly related to last Fall. The matters that were prominent in your life and in the public view around October 1, through December 10, 2005 are calling on your attention in a big way for a final wrap-up besides the Lunar Gestation First Quarter Moon Cycle from August 2005. The Mars connection heats up with Mars out-of-bounds in declination, now at nearly 24° north but returning home to (the boundary limits set by the Sun at) 23° 26' on May 18, 2006.

  • Moon Signs & Daily Summaries
    A Day Rating may not describe the feeling or your experience of that day but give details about the end result of your actions taken under that Moon sign period. A Moon sign period begins when the Moon enters a new sign and remains in effect until it leaves that sign. A Difficult Day can bring unwanted complications for the end result of your objectives. By choosing a Good Day and before the void of course Moon period, you increase you chances for a smoother and more favorable outcome. The day is rated by the last aspect from the Moon to a planet before it leaves the sign. That last aspect begins the void of course Moon period. Your activities are considered to be under the umbrella of the Moon sign that changes every couple of days. Days with the same Moon sign often carry the same day rating for the couple days the Moon occupies that sign.

    There some very important exceptions:
  • When a planet changes signs, the day rating can change.
  • When a planet changes direction, the day rating can change.

  •  
    These instances are referred to as a refranation, indicating that you are to expect someone to leave before you complete your objectives or the situation totally changes due to new and unseen developments or reversals.

    General Notes On Sagittarius MoonsSagittarius
    A Good Day until 1:38 p.m. when the moon is void of course until 4:56 p.m. and it then enters Sagittarius. Expect from this point on a couple of intense days. The Full Moon occurs today at 2:50 a.m. The Moon's last aspect is a positive contra parallel to Mars at 1:38 p.m. This aspect allows for some assistance from a man or an energetic source to push matters to a close or force an issue. A lack of cooperation from others can be just what you need to muster up the resources and energy to get what is necessary done. Cut loose dead weight and move forward. The Scorpio Full Moon dominates the day with a tough square aspect between the Sun and Ceres. Courage is available to count your losses and make serious changes for your survival today. The Sagittarius Moon remains intense because its last aspect is conjunct the toll keeper, Pluto. Tonight is a night to stay out of power struggles and just relax.

    General Notes On Sagittarius MoonsSagittarius
    Intense Day. The heavy Sagittarius Moon is host to a couple of aspects today. A sextile between Mercury and Mars at 12:04 a.m. brings lively conversation to the late night. If you are left alone and restless with a head full of racing thoughts, you may benefit by writing a letter. Too much and navigate your Mercury sextile Mars just after midnight, 12:04 a.m. Venus quincunx Jupiter seeks understanding at 10:39 a.m.

    General Notes On Capricorn MoonsCapricorn
    Another Intense Day. Sagittarius Moon is void of course at 4:15 p.m. Long before the void of course Moon, Mercury, the decision making planet, sits in a confused square to foggy Neptune at 12:11 a.m. Beware of blind spots when making choices or when driving. This aspect brings wet weather or white outs on both internal and external fronts. Sleep patterns are unpredictable. Chiron, the wounded healer turns retrograde at 4:38 a.m. until October 12, 2006. Chiron in Aquarius sends a message through the power of friendship and a need for companionship. After the Moon is void of course and at 6:29 p.m., Venus the planet of fond affections and Uranus the planet of friendship come to a startling awareness of what is most precious here. The day ends with the Moon's entrance into Capricorn at 10:58 p.m.

    General Notes On Capricorn MoonsCapricorn
    A Good Day. The Capricorn Moon brings a couple of good days as the last aspect is a fine trine to the Taurus Sun at 10:09 p.m. on Wednesday night - but not without jumping through a few hoops . Many opportunities for business occur over the next day or so. Mars in opposition to Pallas indicates a failure to see eye-to-eye on important matters at 6:20 p.m. Mercury delivers messages of hurt and loss with a square to Ceres at 6:44 p.m. Focus on the needs of children and pets today. Later at 10:15 p.m. the Sun and Vesta decide what is important with a list of priorities and a need to take an inventory. Financial matters are a concern. Tomorrow morning's quincunx between the Sun and Pluto etches a deep burn into the night. Try and let go of those things you cannot control and become aware of the difference. If you can't fix it, let it go.

    Cyan, the color of Wednesday  Wednesday, May 17, 2006
    General Notes On Capricorn MoonsCapricorn
    A Good Day. The Capricorn Moon is all business starting with the Sun quincunx Pluto at 1:14 a.m. The control monger, Pluto, tangles with Vesta (investments) in the same way at 5:46 a.m. If you can manage to make a deal with the bankers and not feel like you are selling your soul you may pride yourself on a successful transaction. The problem is that the gatekeeper always holds the reins. This can be a good day to reorganize a debt. Another blind spot and ill-intended action is pending with Mars quincunx Neptune at 2:46 p.m. Beware of the banana peel. The flood gates are opened and the best release is a good cry. Don't allow yourself to be fooled today. Take care of your belongings and keep interactions short and sweet. Your time is best served with meditation, yoga and musical healing. Talk to God today. All finally ends well with the Moon trine Sun at the void of course Moon at 10:09 p.m., but there is more to this night. Mercury and Pluto have unfinished business. The process is psychological and is best released before taking the worries into the night.

    General Notes On Aquarius MoonsAquarius
    A Good Day. The Capricorn Moon is void of course until 3:18 a.m. when the Moon enters Aquarius. During the Aquarius Moon Mercury will change signs on Friday leaving many matters up in the air and be subject to the whims of changing agendas. As the day begins, a list of parallels invites the support from those more experienced, older and wiser. The list is as follows: Sun parallel Saturn at 12:12 a.m.; Mercury parallel Saturn at 1:31 a.m.; Sun and Mercury parallel at 2:13 a.m. The Sun conjunct Mercury at 4:02 p.m. today announces its plans and makes the appropriate assignments. By depending on a friend or associate you are motivated to act on information that may take you to a roadblock. New facts do come to light but they may also open old wounds.

    eneral Notes On Aquarius MoonsAquarius
    This is a tricky day until Mercury enters Gemini at 4:51 p.m. The Aquarius Moon brings the last quarter Moon tomorrow morning that will influence this events on this day. Expect help from a teller or the receptionist that helps you to get an appointment with the boss, only to find you step into the office of the CEO. Be prepared to ask for exactly what you want - you just may get it. As Mercury changes everything later in the afternoon you may experience the cold hard facts of reality. If you want or expect to drop all or part of your project you can be ahead of the game.


     Aspects for the Week


    MOON ENTERS SAGITTARIUS - May 13 2006 4:57pm

    MOON ENTERS CAPRICORN - May 15 2006 10:59 pm
    Hard-working Capricorn Moons are dead serious about their work. The "rules" command the day. Progress and status are important. Important people that "count" are around, as well as people you can count on. You are your own presentation, and caring about what other people think is often more important. The tone might be something like, "It is not as important to be happy as it is to be correct and successful." Make sure all your ducks are in a row. As a result, the pressure is great to be successful. Criticism runs high during Capricorn Moons and if you have not invited criticism as a constructive asset you could receive a blow to your confidence. This can be a time when people are more sensitive or very thin skinned. Capricorn can often expose matters of low self-esteem and gloomy feelings. There tends to be an emotional coldness during this time. Fathers, bosses, and authority figures are the main characters at the time of the Capricorn Moon. Architecture, big business and corporate structures are the focus. Plant bushes and trees. Root crops.

    SUN QUINCUNX PLUTO - Exact May 17 2006 1:14 am
    Brief description: This is a health aspect in both mental and physical realms. The nature of the quincunx is that of adjustments that need to be made as a result of an upset. This is a "life's-messy clean-it-up" aspect that can be mentally tormenting. Pluto rules deep psychological change that is usually precipitated by some cathartic event. Now the Sun and Pluto connect at this angle to expose subjects that have been missing, closed or buried. Matters involving healthcare workers, police, mortgages, taxes, money-lenders and major leaders could come into the light in an uncomfortable setting. This particular aspect may lead to connections in high places.
    For personal use: A disruptive event involving family, close friends and outsiders could be the source of problems. Lay low, operate with integrity and compassion when dealing with intense drama. Be part of the solution. Resist saying, "I told you so" and allow time to pick up the pieces. Try window-shopping for a house or get away for a while. Engage in mindless tasks to release stress.
    For business use: Function within legal lines. If your project comes to a dead stop, consider new possibilities. Nothing is worth risking your mental or physical health. Use this time to clean up.

    MARS QUINCUNX NEPTUNE Exact May 17 2006 2:46pm
    Brief description: Imaginative actions. If you are artistic you may find this time filled with musical and poetic composition. This aspect can also related to self doubt and a lack of firm commitment. Adjustments needed due to a loss of energy. This may apply to major sources of energy such as electrical plants and energy source refineries. The loss of energy may apply to workers as if they walked off the job, or soldiers walk off the battle field. Physical energy loss as well may increase fatigue yet interrupt sleep patterns. This can be a very creative aspect that is often associated with romantic notions and plans centered on ideal settings. This may work terrific for film productions or stage. Efforts may be perceived to be out of touch with reality or impractical. There is a weakening of the larger objective. Perceptions can be "out there" and often a misguided direction sends one off on a wild goose chase. For those that operate under the influence of substances or while in a state of extreme confusion, beware of accidents and unpleasant obstacles. On the other hand a lack of confidence may cause one to retreat. There is a likelihood of foggy or wet weather conditions.
    For personal use: Keep fresh batteries in your flashlight and back up your files. Feed motional reactions into your creative projects. Expect a spiritual response. Look for inspiration.
    For business use: Avoid becoming swept off your feet with a business proposal likely to wash out.

    MOON GOES VOID OF COURSE AFTER TRINE SUN - May 17 2006 10:11 pm

    MERCURY QUINCUNX PLUTO - Exact May 17 2006 10:42 pm
    Brief description: Becoming aware of mismatched agreements and bad contracts. Disagreements that lead to investigations will uncover deeper issues. This could be a time of psychological torment. Household pests are out of control.
    For personal use: Find the instructions. Read the instructions. Follow the instructions. Then use prayer as the quickest route to emotional and mental relief. Consider disagreements as an opening for a much needed opportunity to talk things through.
    For business use: Use reserves sparingly. You may need to engineer your way out of a jam. Read agreements very carefully so as the power is balanced for your needs.

    MOON ENTERS AQUARIUS - May 18 2006 3:20am. The last aspect will parallel Jupiter 5/20/06 at 6:05 am.
    Aquarius is an outgoing air sign ruling friendship and groups that join to exchange ideas and share like-minded ideas. With an Aquarius Moon the unusual, brand-new, and bizarre are the order of the day. This is usually a more social time with the unexpected as the norm. Aquarius rules anything very strange or alien in nature. Emotions can be erratic and unpredictable. The quirky side of people may become obvious and at times they posses alienating behaviors. There is a sense or expectation for change, and for some it may feel like impending doom. However, Aquarius is a fixed sign, indicating that things may not really change but evolve to the level of social consciousness. This may be a good time for revelations and awakenings. Aquarius rules mirrors or tape recorders, where reflection and repetitiveness are modes of behavior. Incessant talkers are reported, debating any passing point. This is the sign of invention and modernization. Doctor appointments on days with Aquarius Moons can lead to treatments with the most modern techniques and equipment (a note from Carole Smith's medical appointment research). Kill the bugs and weeds.

    SUN CONJUNCTS MERCURY - Exact May 18 2006 4:01 pm
    Brief description: This conjunction between Mercury and the Sun occurs when Mercury is direct in its motion. But Mercury can still play the trickster creating misinformation and snags in your travel plans. Take a solid inventory of what and how you need to go about your business. Double-check itinerary and call ahead before you set out on your journey. Make sure all your paperwork is in order and you may want to pack a separate overnight bag incase you are separated from your luggage. Otherwise, expect mental agility. Sharp mindedness for snap decisions. Awareness is heightened. Responses are quickened. Lots of errands. Short distant travel. Knowing ones mind. Important decisions. Assessing priorities. Analytical thinking may accelerate to worry. This aspect is positive for writing, collecting information. Sorting through gossip and news stories. Ease with multi tasking with adjustments. Outlining contracts for agreements to be signed when Mercury is direct March 25. Seeking introductions and appointments. Otherwise expect mental agility. Sharp mindedness for snap decisions. Awareness is heightened. Responses are quickened. Lots of errands. Short distant travel. Knowing ones mind. Important decisions. Assessing priorities. Analytical thinking may accelerate to worry. This aspect is positive for writing, collecting information.
    For personal use: Look and be at your best. Expect recognition. Go with the flow.
    For business use: Read the fine print. Go after what you want with enthusiasm. Submit your work for editing. Advertise and network

    MERCURY ENTERS GEMINI - May 19 2006 4:51 pm
    Brief Description: Mercury will make a very brief transit through Gemini in the sign it functions best. While in this sign Mercury enhances conversation and increases the speed of the exchange of information; not all of which is reliable. There will be plenty of data, calls, visits and short trips. Gossip could flourish into major stories. Introductions to new people are one of Mercury's finest jobs making him an excellent net worker while in the sign of Gemini. Not all connections are a match. Mercury lacks scrutiny or discretion. Prepare to sort through what seems like junk mail, some of which is useful.
    For personal use: Mercury in Gemini is great for the right introductions. Socialize.
    For business use: Gather all the data you can. Sort through it later.
