Episode 156 – Moon Transits Through the Signs

In this next series of episodes, we will explore transits, beginning with transits through the signs. Today we will cover Moon transits through the signs with brief descriptions of how each transit might impact the general public.

The Moon spends about two and a half days in a sign. The Moon can indicate emotions, daily routines, and the mood of the public.

Let’s go through each sign:

Aries – When the Moon is in Aries, the energy is high and folks are feeling optimistic. This is your best day to start new things. Take a risk, be decisive, and get ready to move at the speed of light. Also: speak up and lead. Watch out for impulse and aggression.

Taurus – When the Moon is in Taurus, the pace slows down. Security and luxury may both play a role in this day. Find the balance between saving for the future and treating yourself. Cook nourishing meals, organize your home, take care of practical matters, and put pampering on the schedule. Watch out for stubbornness and grudge matches.

Gemini – When the Moon is in Gemini, mental energy is elevated. This day is excellent for running errands, studying, writing, catching up with friends, and reading all the books. You may be more social than usual too. Watch out for restlessness and a tendency to scatter yourself in too many directions.

Cancer – When the Moon is in Cancer, it’s truly at home because the Moon rules Cancer. Security is the driving force and you may be more focused on home and family. Get your nest in order, spend time with loved ones, take care of your elders or children. Emotions are strong – and so is intuition. Follow your gut and be sensitive to other people’s feelings as well as your own. Watch out for moodiness and a tendency to cling.

Leo – When the Moon is in Leo, life feels fun! This is an excellent day for play, showing off, and adorning yourself in all the glittery things. Leo rules the heart so be sure to follow yours as much as possible. Express your feelings with big, bold gestures and above all, don’t play small. Watch out for drama or a tendency to hog the spotlight.

Virgo – When the Moon is in Virgo, it’s time to take care of all the little things. Handle the details, declutter your home, organize plans, and clean up your act. A practical, service-oriented approach is best in all matters. This is also a fabulous day for upgrading your health regimens. Mental activity is strong and a desire for routines may lead to lots of fretting over the small stuff. Watch for a tendency to get hung up on perfectionism.

Libra – When the Moon is in Libra, the energy becomes harmonious and balanced. You can create beauty in any area of your life. Tend to your most important relationships – you can strengthen them now. Also: Libra is associated with justice, making this the perfect day to speak up if you see injustice anywhere. Diplomacy and tact are needed if you’re trying to negotiate deals. This is not a great day for decision-making as this lunation tends to create analysis paralysis and people-pleasing vibes. You’ll also want to watch out for passive-aggressiveness in yourself and others.

Scorpio – When the Moon is in Scorpio, you can get to the bottom of things. Intuition allows you to see through every situation. In other words, your bullshit detector operates on full volume today. Feelings tend to be intense and may lean toward the dramatic. While this can add excitement to the day, anger can boil over, and brooding needs to be avoided. This is an excellent Moon for handling finances, getting laid, and enjoying some alone time. You’ll want to watch out for jealousy and vindictiveness.

Sagittarius – When the Moon is in Sagittarius, we’re all feeling jovial and restless. This is your day to roam, travel, and broaden your horizons. Why sit still when there is so much to see and do? Truth and freedom vibrate strongly this day – be ready to take a stand if you witness something unethical going down. Seek adventures and be sure to have fun! Above all, remain spontaneous as you never know when some interesting new opportunity may arise. Watch out for hypocrisy or a tendency to push your beliefs on others.

Capricorn – When the Moon is in Capricorn, you can get so much done. Create a plan of action, organize your tools, and keep going! Be ambitious! Big goals can be accomplished today if you stay on it. This is also your best day to revamp the structures in your life, especially around your career and finances. Look at the long term and plan accordingly. Watch out for materialism and a tendency to put ambitions above people. Also: don’t be too serious. Lighten up.

Aquarius – When the Moon is in Aquarius, it’s a wonderful time to connect with friends. Attend gatherings, throw a party, or meet up for lunch. Also, other types of group activities may be attractive now, especially those with humanitarian goals. Get involved in a worthy cause and start creating an inclusive future. Logic rules now, making it easier to solve problems while remaining objective. You may be drawn to unusual experiences as well. This is a favorable day for updating your technology. Watch out for aloofness or a desire for freedom at all costs.

Pisces – When the Moon is in Pisces, emotions run deep and intuition is heightened. We’re all in our feelings and it’s easy to get lost there. Ground and center as much as possible. This is a sensitive lunation, which makes it easier to understand how the other person feels. Compassion is strong and a desire to help your fellow humans leads the way. The Pisces Moon can lead to escapism too. Watch out for overindulging in substances – or unproductive daydreaming.
