Sunday, Dec 31st 2023 ~The Moon moves to Virgo at 6:53 am ET, squares Venus in Sagittarius, opposes Saturn in Pisces and aligns with Jupiter in Taurus. Business type activity & practical matters are favored while personal and emotional life may be more complex or strained.  Balance personal interactions by listening, asking for what you need, and avoid passive aggression. NYE festivities of a more moderate, cozy version are favored. Wear Brown and copper shades for festivity!

Monday ~ Virgo Moon. Mercury stations direct in Sagittarius at 10:08 pm ET. Let today be somewhat quiet and unpressured. Tend to your body with gentle care, careful diet, and shift in habits. Virgo is the sign of routines, and today you may want to start different ones. With waning Moon, let something go. The Moon and Sun are in harmony in earth signs, physical and grounding. Welcome back healthy habits and rituals. Venus squares Saturn and interpersonal matters may be complicated for some. Effort could lead to agreement and compromises and concessions are required to make it happen. Uranus aligns with the Moon tonight, and it's best not to overreact if something unusual takes place. Give yourself a moment or a night to sleep on it. Today's color is Green.

Tuesday ~ Virgo to Libra Moon and the Virgo Moon has a variety of aspects. Problem solving appears to be a key element and that may include personal matters, changes of schedule and plans, handling anger if it's present, and redoing what needs revision after Mercury retrograde. Void Moon 6:36 to 7:47 pm ET. Libra Moon aims for peace and balance this week. Wear Light Blue.

Wednesday ~ Tune in for Robin's Zodiac Zone on WMPG FM, 2:30-4 pm. This is my permanent time for 2024. Email me a question or a topic and I'll answer some on the air. I may not get to reply to everyone, so please tune in online or on the radio at 90.9. The Moon and Venus are in harmony today, for travels especially with a friend or loved one, and for good feelings emong us and sharing of ideas and excitement around plans. The Sun and Moon square so there may be indeciveness, and that's ok since Mercury isn't moving yet anyway :) . Today's color is Pink.

Thursday ~ Mars shifts to Capricorn, a physical sign and a sign of organization, structure and accomplishment. This can light a fire for productivity and moving steadily forward. Reorganize. Libra Moon in harmony with Mercury in Sag, newly direct. Consider future plans, travel itineraries, and anyting involving legal matters, judgment calls, and justice. Make a fair, balanced agreement. Today's color is Red.

Friday ~ Libra Moon squares Pluto as the day begins, 6:41 am ET. Something may feel pressing and require a decision. Tune into your inner knowing and wise judgment. It might not be the easiest decision or may require a challenging step. Void Moon just from then until 7:39 am ET. Scorpio Moon and energy takes over. Things remain intense and require action as the Moon aligns with Mars in Capricorn and Saturn in Pisces. We may need to answer, fess up, or do a reality check. Mysteries may be solved. Jupiter is across from the Moon tonight saying do not overdo it or an emotional hangover could take over. Be emotionally aware. Today's color is Indigo.

Saturday ~ Scorpio Moon aligns with the Capricorn Sun, for getting things done, organizing and sorting both physical things and feelings. Be careful, again, to avoid the emotional hangover or overreaction as Uranus opposes the Moon. It can be either wildly passionate and beautiful or crazy angry and vengeful. Whatever's felt will be felt strongly. Take care of your emotional well being. Draw boundaries if needed, to self protect. Today's color is Black.

Wishing you a low stress Christmas season. Watch out for Mercury, playing retrograde games in Sagittarius until January 1st

And Peaceful Full Moon December 26th in Cancer

Robin

Sun, Dec 24th, 2023 ~ Taurus to Gemini Moon at 3:15 am ET. Saturn is the major influencer today, aligning with the Sun and squaring the Moon. Emotional challenges may pair with finding the energy and staminato get things done. This day appears edgy at first and more steady and/or ahppier as it goes on. With Gemini Moon through Christmas Day, alot of ideas and words flow and sometimes carelessly or too quickly. Think out what you really want to communicate before blurting it out. The Full Moon approaches for Tuesday and all is heightened and felt strongly. Blue is today's color.

Monday ~ Gemini Moon, and a quick reminder to speak thoughtfully and intentionally in all transactions and situations on Christmas Day. Venus trine to Neptune offers romance for the water and earth signs, especially Scorpio, Pisces, Taurus and Virgo. Mars opposite the Moon can be aggressive or argumentative or just too much going on. Find peaceful outlets and moments. Avoid anything controversial in conversation and avoid extra travels you don't really need to add on. Travel may be challenging and Mars' action could mean aggression on the road. The Moon is nearly Full. Wear/incorporate Gold.

Tuesday ~ Full Moon in Cancer at 7:33 pm ET. Gemini Moon begins the day and the Moon as well as this day generally, appears active and pranic, full of energy and uprising. Mercury retro opposes the Moon and travels may create stress and concerns as well as potential difficulty. If possible, stay in home zones and other familiar routes. Void Moon 8:45 am to 10:15 am. Cancer Moon trine Saturn and family things may happen or resolve more quickly and easily, even things of a serious nature. Commitment is a key word as is loyalty. Jupiter is the planet most influencing Full Moon, with Saturn a close second. Jupiter is about how to grow and heal in family, love and emotional senses, and that is this Full Moon's message and aim. Work with it to create a better and more loving or committed life with those you love and live with. I do like this Christmas and Full Moon for engagements and other important emotional decisions. Mercury retrograde feels more travel and communication oriented this week, and as long as words and feelings are communicated clearly, personal lives can thrive now! Today's color is White.

If  you need a very relaxing break from eveything, come to Yin Yoga with Reiki on this Full Moon night at Leaping Waters, with Kristine Keegan Reiki Master www.leapingwatersyoga.com

Wednesday ~ Mercury square to Neptune overnight, and be aware and careful of anything misleading, or scams, and deception of any kind. Live in your truth. Some will be called out on untruths or escapist tendencies. Be present for your life. Be open, but not overly accomodating and avoid enabling unacceptable behavior. The Sun and Jupiter form a beautiful trine that's helpful and encouraging for growth and productivity as well as prosperity. This could be a great business day where things come easily. Express your hopes and plans and let them develop from there. Clear debris and old thought patterns and begin to prepare for new things ahead. at 7:31 pm ET, Mercury meets Mars. This activates travel and education plans, yet also can lead to arguments or misunderstanding. Cancer Moon aligns with Uranus for night time surprises and reasons to change your outlook. Tonight is quite activated and could feel even more like Full Moon. Wear Light Blue.

Thursday ~ Cancer Moon aligns with Neptune for romance and dreams, and with Venus for love and family connections. The planets and Moon are heart and emotion centered. Today is about connections of deep and meaningful nature. Avoid taking anyone's feelings too lightly, including your own. Immerse in romance and magic. Mars squares Neptune challenging our illusions yet instigating adventure and imagination. Don't disregard your dreams. Instead, revist one! The Moon opposite Pluto is contemplative and seeks the true answers. The meaning of life may come up in your thoughts or decisions. Void Moon 5:57 pm ET, on. Leo Moon ahead at 7:23 pm, with more movement from the Full Moon zone.  Today's color is Purple.

Friday ~ Commitement is an idea tha arises again this week as Venus in Scorpio aligns with Pluto in practical Capricorn. It's both loving and deep,highlighting commitments, loyalty and love that align with your truth. Some may decide to take their partnerships to the next level, whatever that may be. Conscious decisions are favored. Leo Moon squares Jupiter in Taurus, and the question is how big and lavish to go for, in either tonight's plans or in the long term. Today's color is Green, and I like the light green of peridot or other green crystals as a shade for today. 

Saturday ~ Leo Moon squares Uranus, following yesterday's square to Jupiter. Both are in Taurus. Notice the more surprising ways things develop. We may need to do something differently than expected and some will have to respond to on the spot situations or events. Being open minded and versatile will help. Being too fixed on one thing could create strain. The Moon aligns with Mercury retrograde, both in fire signs, encouraging people to 'get back together' and reconnect. Chance encounters like this are likely as well as planned meetings and occasions. Overnight, the Moon forms a trine to Mars for action and also ease. It's a social and dynamic vibe tonight. Also Jupiter stations direct at 9:40 pm which could be helpful if you're experiencing frustrations or delays that are related to growing your business, building or renovating, or anything banking related. Jupiter will take time to move forward but this is a first step. Mercury will be direct the night of the 1st! We are going toward less retrograde energy soon...if it's been a trying time, let this give hope! Almost nothing earthly lasts forever. Red is today's color.

Holiday Show Wed, Dec 20th with cool holiday tunes you won't hear in the grocery aisles :)

Sunday, Dec 17th ~ Aquarius to Pisces Moon. If it's been a social weekend, tonight draws us into quiet contemplation or self care. The Moon and Sun engage in two very social signs, Aquarius and Sagittarius at 7:04 am, setting the tone for an active day. Void Moon starts then and shifts into Pisces at 2:58 pm ET. Listen to your inner voice and longings. The Moon and Saturn meet and serious or somber emotions might be a result. Another may be the urge to pull yourself together and get emotionally as well as situationally organized and more in control. Today's color is Green.

Monday ~ Pisces Moon in harmoyn with Jupiter, Mercury and Venus. Mercury and Jupiter form their own trine. This bodes well for many things including feeling generally better and more connected. Reuniting with friends, family or former colleagues would be natural. Also, connect with people you've collaborated will with in the past, with the future in mind. A new project could be in the works for after January 1st. Mars squares the Moon tonight. Notice if frustrations or anger come up. Breathe in some compassion and understanding for yourself or someone else. That doesn't mean just allow bad behavior, instead use perspective and tact with your approach to negativity or aggression. Keep healthy boundaries as needed. Today's color is Pink.

Tuesday ~ Pisces to Aries Moon always seems like a big shift (to me, anyway). Thes two signs are so incredibly different. The last and first signs, the old soul and the new one, emotion and action. Pisces Moon aligns with Uranus which could rattle us this morning or last night. Neptune and the Moon lead to emotional vulnerability, yet also powerful intuitions. Then, the Sun square to the Moon points out where things are not easy and there are edges to be smoothed or obstacles to overcome. Void Moon 4:03 pmto 5:47 pm ET, is a transition time and influenced by reflective and deep feeling Pluto. Aries Moon blows in like a strong wind at 5:47 pm ET, with the intention of shifting everything into drive. This could be motivating, but if instead it feels overpowering, treat yourself as you would a little child who needs a nice meal and a long nap. Self care is today's priority all the way around. Wear Red.

Wednesday ~ Aries Moon squares Mercury retro in Capricorn. The to do list may be challenging and other pressures arise, potentially related to something you thought was finished or over. Venus approaches opposition to Uranus, which peaks overnight into Thursday. Relationship matters heighten, whether positive or otherwise. Our nervous systems are activated by surprise, changes, and what hadn't been planned for. Keep communication clear and avoid misleading yourself or anyone else. Today's color is Yellow.

Thursday ~ Winter Solstice 10:27 pm ET as the Sun moves to Capricorn. Babies born before then are Sagittarius (this year only, it changes year to year). This looks like an eventful day. Mercury retro aligns with Saturn in Pisces, bringing up old business and perhaps long held emotions that need an outlet and expression. Aries Moon aligns with both Mars and the Sun, increasing the element of fire. This means action, drive, push, and also brightness and enthusiasm. Like most things, this can go either way in terms of how it feels. Do calming things to counter the uprising energy. We are also getting closer to Full Moon on Tuesday the 26th. Energy is high.Taurus Moon arrives 9:47 pm ET after about 90 minutes void of course. Taurus Moon favors routine and the comfortable and familiar. Today's color is Green.

Friday ~ Taurus Moon in harmony with Mercury retrograde & the Sun in conjunction with Mercury make this a peak day for reconnecting in person, by mail or virtually. Reach out to someone you've been thinking of. Share appreciation for one another and share your gifts and talents as the Moon meets Jupiter for generosity of time, energy and spirit as well as gift giving. Mercury is about to shift back into Sagittarius and there's a pivotal moment or event in the works before 1:18 am ET. Notice if this happens for you. Today's color is Gold.

Saturday ~ Mercury moves back into Sagittarius. Business or communication from about 2 weeks ago comes around again. Taurus Moon with a variety of aspects. Our focus is creating comfort and security. Financial and emotional security/insecurity drive us. Travels may be delayed or changed. Personal relationships come to the forefront with shifts, compromises, and invitations to collaborate or get together. Today's color is Orange.

Sunday, Dec 10th ~ Scorpio Moon opposes Uranus and aligns with Neptune. Though this could be a challenging day, especially in terms of things that weren't planned or expected, it's also a peak day for intuition and creativity. Avoid aggression and arguements. Know that people will not easily yield and may not compromise readily. Immerse in your process and in artistic pursuits and creative environments. Look for the magic and soul in everything. Wear Blue.

Monday ~ We are very close to Mercury Retrograde in Capricorn & also to New Moon. All can be felt right now. You may feel on the brink of something new, yet there's need for patience simutaneously. The more lead time you can give or get, the better. Try to avoid short notice which may have been one of yesterday's challenges also. Make some flexible plans and decisions and bewilling to alter those same plans as things develop over the next 4-6 weeks. I would avoid making travel plans that can't be cancelled, if they can wait until mid January. The Moon moves from Scorpio to Sagittarius today at 6:11 am ET after less than 3 hours void of course. The Moon squares Saturn and people may not take responsibility the way you wish, or you may wish you didn't have to answer or show up to something mandatory. Carve out some freedom in your day, so you can breathe and feel like 'yourself'. Mercury aligns with Venus for a good friend date or romantic adventure. Create situations where everyone is there for the same purpose and also willingly. Social occasions are well timed. Today's color is Purple.

Tuesday ~ New Moon in Sagittarius. Set your intention for the next two weeks and write it down so you can remind yourself during the holidays. New Moon is at 6:32 pm ET and on the way, the Moon and Mars have a bold and fiery meet n greet. Mars says 'go for it'. Do so knowing Mercury is retrograde. Take a low level of risk. Do something simple that makes you feel alive and energized. Move your body and burn some energy, exercise stress away. Sagittarius is the sign of hips and upper legs. Connect to your root chakra, sense of place and where you are in space. Avoid being too bluntly honest or opinionated. Take care with feelings and don't override true emotions. Wear White for this New Moon.

Wednesday ~ Sagittarius Moon, and Mercury Retrograde begins at 2:09 am ET. Plan as little as possible or plan things that are routine and simplify everything. Take your time. A great intention for this New Moon could be 'take it slow'. Void Moon overnight replaced by Capricorn Moon vibes at 10:31 am ET. Capricorn is the sign of this Mercury Retrograde, at first anyway. Organization becomes challenging. Winging it just might work better! Saturn in Pisces and Jupiter in Taurus are in harmony with the Moon, for emotional awareness and understanding as well as focus on the 'how', the step by step. Act methodically and be ready to problem solve without losing your cool. Overnight the Moon and Mercury retrograde will meet. Be cautious and thoughtful with words and anything in writing including emails and texts. Things could easily be misinterpreted or miscommunicated. Today's color is Green.

Mercury Retrograde dates: December 13th-23rd Capricorn, 23rd-January 1st Sagittarius

Thursday ~ The Moon meets Mercury, aligns with Venus in Scorpio and with Uranus in Taurus. This could mean an easier day, with a focus on communication and plans and postive vibes between people or organizations. Is today the company gathering? It's somewhat business-like,  yet socially friendly. Someone may surprise you today, and it might be a Taurus, Scorpio or Capricorn. Be open to surprise, including changes in your own feelings or plans. Today's color is Indigo.

Friday ~ Capricorn Moon in harmony with Neptune first, then meeting Pluto at 11:04 am ET. There's a sense of reflection on the season or the situation. Create some meditative and/or personal time. Clear your mind. Aquarius Moon time lends well to Friday afternoon/ evening events beginning at 12:56 pm ET. The Moon squares Taurus tonight and stubborn personalities may clash. One question regards roles and place in group dynamics. How can you grow together, or is it time to move to a friendlier situation? Wear Turquoise.

Saturday ~ Squares dominate the day. This often means putting in effort to get past blocks and conflicts of opinion or interest.  Aquarius Moon brings out our people skills, and all in all it may be a good day to reach out for friendship, support, collaboration, and to build rapport and connections. Also, it's a day to be willing to work and yield, consider and compromise. Sun square Neptune is the final of 3 squares and may bring out insecurities or lack of confidence. Listening to a trusted friend or ally  may give another perspective, helping to overcome self doubt and/or removing a creative block. Check in with yourself, and make that a reality check. Today's color is Light Blue.

Sunday, Dec 3rd ~ Shallow or superficial just will not do. Venus squares Pluto and some will ask for or require deeper relationship connections. Is this something you want to work through, or is someone asking forwhat you just cannot give? Relationship realizations are likely and in some cases are uncomfortable or sort of sad. Equal give and take needed to move through relationship doubts or questions. Leo Moon will align with  Venus at 9:11 pm ET, and Venus is about to change signs. This feels like a party and it's a good night out. Void Moon from then until 10:50 pm when Virgo Moon encourages preparation for the 5 day week, school and work. Late night studies and catching up on tasks may be required with Saturn's emphasis on what needs to be done. Today's color is Pink.

Monday ~ Virgo Moon. Tackle the to do list with optimism or at least with care as Mercury in Capricorn and Jupiter in Taurus support business, learning, and all kinds of growth. Communication about plans and schedules is favored too. Venus moves to Scorpio at 1:51 pm ET, and it's a passionate place for the planet of beauty and love. Find outlets for strong feelings as the ones building up may burst forth with this shift.  Venus can be possessive and envious in this sign too. Notice any tendencies in yourself or others. If you're going too far, seek some balance and creative self expression. Virgo Moon squares Mars one minute after Venus's move. It may point out conflicts of interest or places you're directing energy yet yielding nothing. If that's the case, move on to more fertile ground and clearer paths. Today's color is a rich, deep shade of Brown. 

Tuesday ~ Virgo Moon and a mixed bag. It feels like a day to pursue what's needed, adapt to different circumstances and expect some changes of plan or place. Venus aligns with Saturn, drawing out feelings and emotions around all sorts of things. Heart to heart talks encouraged. Compassion and helpfulness, volunteering and other ways of connecting are favored. The Moon and Sun square at 12:49 am for the 4th quarter phase and the promise of New Moon in one week. Clear any kind ofclutter or debris. Detoxify the body, the space, and the conversations. Wear Green.

Wednesday ~ Neptune direct 8:20 am ET, perhaps affecting you more if Neptune has a prominent place in your chart. Neptune is in Pisces. Look for emotional productivity such as resolving something or moving from denial to dealing. Virgo Moon opposes Neptune and aligns with Pluto and fulfilling responsbilities and caring for emotional health are both favored. Void Moon 8:50 am to 11:35 am, then Libra Moon time. Mercury will square the Libra Moon tonight, bringing up relationship matters and pushing for the conversation you need to have with one another. Find consensus or compromises where different agendas exist. Wear Lavender.

Thursday ~ Today looks energized and also potentially peaceful. Yes,you can experience both at once. Libra Moon aligns with Mars & the Sun in Sagittarius. Mercury aligns with Jupiter, both in earth signs. This looks like a good day for most plans, adventures, and possibilities taking shape. Manifest it. Today's color is Red.

Friday ~ Libra Moon square to Pluto is a continutation of relationship matters and situations that may have been brewing early this week. Lean into fairness and equal give and take. Do your share and ask for someone else to do the same. Aim  to increase balance in  one on one relationships. This includes friendships. Void Moon begins at 8:05 pm, and Scorpio Moon arrives 10:35 pm ET. Avoid anything that might make you brood over something you can't control. That could mean a social media break for the night or the weekend. Try not to put yourself in situations you know could be triggers and let the past be past, not overcoming your energy and mind. Wear Indigo.

Saturday ~ Today looks interesting, especially in terms of relationships. The whole week has been relationship focused with a current running through whatever else is happening. Venus and the Moon meet for a strong date night, powerful feelings and passionate pursuit of love and dreams. Jupiter is across the zodiac in Taurus from both, magnifying and adding power to Venus/Moon action & making everything feel or seem bigger and more important. Mercury favors communication about important matters. Connect honestly and deeply. Today's color is Maroon.

I'm on air Tuesday, Dec 12th and 26th, then shifting to Wed afternoons!

Talk to you soon!
