Robin's Zodiac Zone September 1st to 7th: Ride the New Moon Wave

Sunday: Libra Moon square to Saturn retrograde, and Venus aligns with Saturn in a favorable trine. Resolving past disputes and relationship matters is possible if both parties are willing to talk. Mercury trine to Uranus so the discussions may be surprisingly productive or reveal new information and motives. Today's color is Pink.

Monday: Libra Moon void from 4:34 am to 7:35 pm EDT. The Sun meets Mars in Virgo. The Sun and Mars favor friends helping friends, for example with moving or heavy work. The need to step up and help out may be strong. Today is best for very uncomplicated tasks that may require muscle more than negotiating skills, for example. It could be a hard day for getting along well with others. Scorpio Moon stirs deep emotions tonight. Today's color is Indigo.

Tuesday: Scorpio Moon opposite Uranus. Disagreements will be stubborn and hard to manage if they occur. There's plenty of harmony between Scorpio Moon and Virgo planets though. This will help with decision making. The Sun meets Mercury in Virgo for self expression and confidence building. Today's color is Black.

Wednesday: Scorpio Moon until 11:08 pm EDT, void of course from 6:58 am until then. This may be problematic for schedules and everyone being focused or present. Venus opposes Neptune and many will prefer to linger in dreams rather than show up or deal with responsibilities. Today's color is Purple.

Thursday: Sagittarius Moon gets the week in gear, better late than never. The vibe is more actively engaged and outgoing. Mercury and Saturn favor agreements and news that is important and seems overdue. Moon squares Mars and the Sun for a push to get things done. Today's color is Red.

Friday: Sagittarius Moon full on in the morning and void of course from 12:03 pm EDT until Saturday morning. Jupiter and the Moon meet for open minds and expansive ideas or actions. Squares fill the heavens though, so much effort is involved. Two trines in the earth signs say 'be practical today' whether you're working through business or relationship situations. Wear Green.

Saturday: Capricorn Moon 6:37 am EDT and into Monday. Mercury is opposite Neptune and the Moon aligns with Pluto. We may feel more introverted and introspective as well as focused on accomplishing things and starting or continuing projects. Today's color is Blue.

Robin's Zodiac Zone August 25th-September 1, 2019: Virgo New Moon

Simplify and organize as Mercury moves to Virgo just 27 hours before Virgo New Moon. Venus, Mars and the Sun are already in this practical, flexible earth sign. Let the adjustments begin!

Sunday: Gemini Moon gives way to Cancer Moon at 5:05 pm EDT and leading up to that, the Moon is void of course in Gemini (begins 2:58 am EDT). Moon aligns with Mercury overnight leading to a sociable morning. It's a good day for brunch and hanging out with friends or family. It's not the best time for organization or planning as things are very mutable until Cancer Moon time. Tonight the Moon and Sun align for sensitivity and emotional awareness. Head and heart can align too as we come to deep understandings with each other or within. Today's color is Light Blue.

Monday: Cancer Moon aligns with planets in Virgo, Pisces, and Taurus and also opposes Saturn in Capricorn. Venus aligns with Uranus in Taurus and relationship surprises are likely-that could range from announcing engagement to finding out about infidelity. Mixed emotions are likely today. Wear Blue.

Tuesday: Cancer to Leo Moon at 7:53 pm EDT. Up until then the Moon is void in Cancer, similar to Sunday's long transition time, this begins at 4:55 am EDT. Fears and other suppressed feelings such as anxiety or uncertainty may come up as the Moon opposes Pluto to set up our day. Leo Moon has the power to buoy strength and energy tonight. Wear Yellow.

Wednesday: Leo Moon square to Uranus as Mars forms a helpful trine to the same planet. Uranus is a wild card, like Wheel of Fortune or the Tower in the tarot deck. This means an unpredictable day. With Mars involved, stay away from volatile people or potentially explosive situations.  Moon and Jupiter align in fire signs for excitement, inspiration and opportunity this evening. Today's color is Red.

Thursday: Mercury moves to Virgo at 3:48 am EDT completing the transitions to Virgo. Tomorrow morning is Virgo New Moon and today is a planning and envisioning time. The Virgo Sun aligns with Uranus for surprising news and discussions. Moon and Mercury meet for organizational work, setting schedules and getting serious about results and productivity. Today's color is Brown.

Friday: New Moon in Virgo at 6:37 am EDT. This Moon is fully supported with conjunctions/meetings with the Sun, Mars and Venus. One thing to avoid is unrealistic expectations and another is a tendency to run from real life responsibilities. This New Moon is about getting the job done. Relationships go through practical adjustments. Try not to nag or cling. Virgo is a sign of change and movement. Today's color is White.

Saturday: Virgo Moon void of course 4:46 am EDT, and it's another long void Moon until 7:08 pm EDT. The Moon aligns with Pluto to start the day. Structure and sensible decisions are called for. Go easy on yourself and take things step by step. Resist the urge to give up or bail. Instill confidence in others or offer to help where you can. Libra Moon tonight for dates and collaborative work, preferably with one partner. Today's color is Lavender.

Shamanic Yoga with Spirit Guide Journey is October 19th at TULA in South Portland, and is likely to sell out. Reserve your spot at TULA's website.

Yoga Nidra Teacher Training held in two parts on Saturdays, September 28th and October 5th.

Robin's Zodiac Zone August18th-24th, 2019: Venus, Mars, Sun to Virgo

Virgo hat trick as Mars, Venus and the Sun move in one by one. Virgo is earth, harvest, digesting, purifying, organizing and problem solving.  Mars leads the pack.

Sunday: At 1:18 am EDT, Mars moves from fire sign Leo to earth sign Virgo. If your summer has included too much heat in the form of anger, frustration or people who come on too strong, Mars in Virgo could offer relief. Our attention turns to problem solving and putting energy into getting things accomplished. Some tendencies for this period include focusing on details, criticizing and tearing apart what's not working, feeling more disciplined and possibly putting effort into many things at once. Take inspiration and creative ideas, common for Mars in Leo, to the next level by making something tangible, such as a product or result. Aries Moon time starts at 12:33 pm EDT. Mars is Aries' planet so Mars dominates this day's activity which is likely to be active, physical and initiating.
Red is today's color.

Monday: Aries Moon in harmony with Jupiter in Sagittarius and Mercury in Leo. Explore possibilities, places, and ideas. You may bring something to fruition, receive yes answers, become actively involved or engaged in something of high interest or perhaps work through an existing situation or problem as the Moon squares Saturn in Capricorn. Use your power wisely and reasonably. Watch out for those who abuse power or control. Today's color is Orange.

Tuesday: Aries Moon continues with a square to Pluto and trine to the Sun. Inner processes could include turmoil or second guessing or review. Externally, friendliness and excitement fill the air. Mixed feelings could result, for example feeling uncertain inside but going for it anyway because you 'have to' or want to. Themes include moving on, moving forward, and persevering through change. Today's color is Yellow.

Wednesday: Aries to Taurus Moon at 12:37 am after just a half hour void of course. Venus joins Mars in the sign Virgo at 5:06 am EDT. Venus in Virgo is particular and choosy in relationship and partnership and likes cleanliness and purity all the way around. Taurus Moon aligns with Mars in Virgo and meets Uranus also in Taurus, with dynamic and changeable effects. You may notice this in the form of strong reason to act and do, like there is no other choice. If someone has been complacent or even waiting for the right timing or having trouble with a decision, these aspects push things into gear. Mercury aligns with Jupiter in fire signs Leo and Sagittarius for inspiration around big plans. With today's aspects, the force will be strong. Expect movement on matters of all kinds. Taurus Moon means longevity, so think long term and commitment as you decide and act. Today's color is Green.

Thursday: Taurus Moon. Venus newly in Virgo. Earth element permeates this last day of summer , the final hours of Sun in Leo. Babies born today are Leos, though they will also have strong earth qualities with Mars and Venus both in Virgo now. (The Sun moves to Virgo at 6:02 am EDT Friday and begins Virgo time. ) Today's Moon/planet connections are quite varied with Pluto, Saturn, Neptune and Mercury involved. Taurus Moon perseveres and persists. The square to Mercury may bring up conflicting points of view and infiltrate collaborations. Some will be in problem solving and organizing mode and won't stop until the jobs are done. Some may work with visions and daydreams, making art or immersed in food preparation or building structures or landscapes. Effort, producing and doing are favored today. Wear Pink.

Friday: Sun to Virgo at 6:02 am EDT. The Moon moves to Gemini at 10:34 am EDT. This is 4th quarter Moon, a time of release and review.The Moon forms 3 squares today which signifies much effort is required to move through what needs to be done or experienced. The Sun, Venus and Mars in Virgo for sharp angles, like edges or corners, and as we come to these points, ideas or plans may come into conflict and agreements may be found if we are willing to compromise, sort out and persist. With Gemini Moon you may instead scrap a whole plans and seek fresh ideas. Today could include arguments, protests, or insensitivity. Wear Blue for positive communication and clarity.

Saturday: Venus and Mars meet in Virgo. Gemini Moon opposes Jupiter and squares Neptune. We may feel scattered or unfocused. Relationships may benefit from Venus meeting Mars. Being overly critical or negative own't make the day go any smoother. Try to take it easy on others, especially if great stress is involved. Today's color is White.

Robin's Zodiac Zone August 11th-17th, 2019: Jupiter Direct, Mercury in Leo

Shamanic Yoga with Invitation to Spirit Guides offered this autumn at TULA in South Portland on Saturday, October 19th 4-5:30 pm. We are likely to sell out quickly. Sign up while you can! I'm keeping this affordable at $25.

Thank you for all the birthday love for both Zodiac Zone and me! Robin's Zodiac Zone was created on the Cancer/Leo cusp July 22, 1999! And I was born 8-8 so this is a big celebration season!
I hope you are enjoying summer and/or finding that Leo strength and resilience we all need.

Mercury moves back to Leo and Jupiter retrograde ends, both on Sunday. Hopeful, progressive.

Robin

Sunday: Capricorn Moon time begins at 12:50 am EDT and forms a trine with unpredictable Uranus hours later. This is an interesting day as Jupiter stations direct in Sagittarius after months of retrograde movement, and Mercury dances back into Leo retracing steps from mid July. Uranus begins a retrograde at 10:27 pm EDT in Taurus that ends on January 11, 2020. The effect of a distant planet's retrograde doesn't seem as relevant as a closer planet's retro. However, depending where Uranus is in your own chart and solar return chart, it could influence how much restraint one has, how much or in what ways one follows tradition or radically alters one's life or appearance, usually going toward the extremes of individuality. On this day, Capricorn Moon trine to Uranus may bring up inner or external questions of how much to follow accepted norms and how much you want to shake things up and step off the well worn path to forge your own. Moon in Capricorn wants to know 'how', so the steps and how all the parts fit together become a priority. Today's color is Brown.

Monday: With all of Sunday's changes, this is like a brand new cycle and meanwhile we are approaching Full Moon, a time of closure and completions. Notice what's due and use Capricorn Moon time for productivity. Moon meets Saturn for a business-like approach, and then meets Pluto for some internal process and reflection. Void Moon begins 6:11 pm EDT and ends at 11:35 am EDT on Tuesday. Try not to let fears shake your confidence. Tune in to knowing what you have to do and avoid excuses and procrastination. Tonight is meant for easy tasks, if any. Wear Black today.

Tuesday: Void Moon until 11:35 am EDT. Keep those hour simple and recheck facts and details. Aquarius Moon 11:35 am through Thursday evening. The Full Moon is on Thursday morning. It is full of oppositions, however with the Sun and Venus meeting on Wednesday, I see this as an energizing and effective Full Moon. Situations and relationship matters can likely be handled less reactively and with less drama. This Full Moon is in the sign of friendship and collaboration. Today the Moon opposes Mercury back in Leo and we're into resolving things left undone or temporarily taken care of in mid July. See how matters from about a month ago come back up for discussion or better solutions now. Today's color is Turquoise.

Wednesday: Aquarius Moon nearly Full and in harmony with Jupiter for expansive and hopeful approaches and perspective. The Moon also squares Uranus in Taurus which forces us out of comfort zones. Allow for alternatives and widen your lens. Yearning for no change will only bring pain. Notice what must change and look for the silver lining or ways to make it work FOR you. The Sun and Venus meet in Leo for love, generosity, kindness, and fun (to name a few!). This is a fortunate day. If you're working against something, can you let up a little and allow life to flow rather than try to hold the reigns tightly? Today's color is Blue.

Thursday: Full Moon in Aquarius at 8:29 am EDT. This is the first Aquarius Full Moon since we completed the Aquarius/Leo eclipse cycle on January 20th ( that one was in Leo as the Full Moon is always in the opposite sign to the Sun). This Full Moon opposes Venus and Mars in Leo, highlighting one on one relationships and also group dynamics. How we get along, compromise and come to agreement are important and thematic this week. Can you be open to alternatives and different points of view? Some approaches or decisions may be radical with Aquarius Full Moon. And that will require adjustment, open mind, and willingness to trust someone else's path and see how it goes over time. Minding one's own business and refraining from trying to control or make someone else fit your vision will be necessary in some cases. Void Moon starts at 9:02 pm and Moon in Pisces begins at 11:49 EDT. Today's color is White.

Friday: Pisces Moon aligns with Uranus retrograde and Mercury in Leo squares that same planet. On such a Uranus influenced day, original thinking peaks and may be valuable. We'll see and experience things in unusual or extraordinary ways. Today is 'out of the box'. Wear Silver.

Saturday: Pisces Moon with aspects to four planets with varied influences and potential effects. Mostly we're likely to seek ease, feel creative, and want to sail or float along. Some will do anything to avoid confrontation or any harsh reality as the Moon and Neptune meet.  Void Moon 6:35 pm on. Don't try to overdo or avoid overthinking. The emotions of Full Moon matters may arise like a Full Moon hangover. But not for everyone. Some will simply enjoy a summer evening. Today's color is Green.

Robin's Zodiac Zone August 4th-10th, 2019: Mercury Direct

Sunday: Virgo Moon void of course from 12:27 am to 9:30 am EDT. As usual, take your time in every way while the Moon is void of course. Mercury gets communication going in a problem solving or more practical direction overnight (so maybe you have a meaningful message waiting by morning?). Libra Moon has no aspects of significance today. As the Moon is in harmony with Venus between Sunday and Monday morning, this is a fine night for a date or get together. Today's color is Pink.

Monday: Libra Moon aligns with the Sun to put our hearts and minds, our confidence and our intentions, in harmony. This is a decision making day with a mix of both ease and challenge. Capricorn planets square the Moon and we'll be figuring out the best options, muddling through any compromises needed. Jupiter and Mars are in harmony with the Moon saying take action, express, and say yes to opportunity. Today's color is Red.

Tuesday: Libra Moon void 3:36 am to 11:31 am EDT. Quiet contemplation is favored as are social meetings, like a work breakfast with no agenda or a friendly brainstorm session. Scorpio Moon follows and later opposes Uranus directly in this monthly standoff. Original, weird, or unlikely happenings are likely and may take us off guard. Today's color is Indigo.

Wednesday: Scorpio Moon squares the Sun and Venus in Leo. Put your creative mind to work and maybe collaborate with someone else who's as talented and/or stubborn as you are. If you can get past your differences, the result may be genius! The Leo Sun aligns with Jupiter in a burst of openness and opportunity, and travels could be part of the plan. Moon aligns with Saturn and Pluto emphasizing our internal process and more introverted sides. Whatever your style, sign or priorities, this looks like a satisfying day. The downside could result from unwillingness to try or to listen. Today's color is Purple.

Thursday: Scorpio Moon void 10:58 am to 4:35 pm EDT. This void Moon may be best spent vacationing or taking personal time. With a square to Mars, business is not generally favored and that includes shopping even for clothing. The upside of today is friendliness, social occasions, performances, dates and romance as Venus in Leo aligns with Jupiter in Sagittarius at 4:28 pm EDT. This is a truly blessed and beautiful occasion! Sagittarius Moon from 4:35 pm on. Today's color is
Gold. (I'm excited for the optimistic forecast as this is my own birthday! 8-8!)

Friday: Sagittarius Moon meets Jupiter and is trine to Venus continuing yesterday's favorable aspects. Take advantage of all that is! Open to something new. Cultivate a sense of trust in yourself that keeps you safe because you are always in touch with your intuition. Notice what creates enthusiasm and has you feeling inspired and follow that feeling. Today's color is Red.

Saturday: Sagittarius Moon aligns with Mars and the Sun for excitement and action. There may be competition, so try to keep it healthy and fun, and keep ego in check. The Moon squares Neptune and we may yearn for escape from the ordinary. This can be enjoyed as a quick vacation or break from the usual. It's a fire sign day overall, favored for campfires and candlelit events. Void Moon 3:50 pm on. Mercury is retracing steps and back on the threshold of Cancer/Leo, and we may experience this through revisiting conversations, places or people that were relevant around July 19th. Today's color is Orange. Thank you for your kind donations during Robin's Zodiac Zone birthday time! The site turned 20 on the 22nd of July!
