More about this Full Moon at robinivy.blogspot.com

Sunday: Pisces Moon in harmony with Mercury, Pluto, and Jupiter. Enjoy the people you love and creative inspiration. It's an outdoor vibe too with earth and water playing prominent roles. Today's color is Green.

Monday: Full Moon is midday Wednesday in Taurus. Aries Moon gets the weekdays started at 2:58 am EDT through part of Wednesday morning. Full Moon bearing over us may feel like even more today due to a Saturn square. Pressure is a common effect. Mercury and Pluto align in two signs that harbor feelings and secrets or sometime avoid fessing up. Yet, the alignment may bring secrets or info out into the open. Today's color is Black.

Tuesday: Warmup to Full Moon. Completion and closure time is here. The Moon remains in Aries today, but events of the Full Moon have the longevity that Taurus bestows. The Sun opposes Uranus in Taurus. You'll notice some radical changes and announcements during this Full Moon. Mars and Pluto are active today so there's unrest.  The Sun moves to Scorpio at 7:22 am EDT, joining 3 planets in the sign of sexuality. Taurus is opposite Scorpio and is the sign of sensuality. Sexual, reproductive, and fidelity issues will be common during this Moon. Void Moon 2:18 pm to 10:33 am EDT on  Wednesday. Undeniable is a good word for this Full Moon. Notice how it's shaping events of today. Wear Orange.

Wednesday: Until 10:33 am EDT the Moon is void of course. With Full Moon and the deadlines and decisions this often brings, the early hours are a time to not be pressured. Wait until you feel clear or at least buy a bit of time until Taurus Moon 10:33 am EDT. The Full Moon is 12:45 pm EDT, opposite Venus as well as the Sun in Scorpio, and notably meeting Uranus for wild, less than predictable outcomes. Saturn and Venus are also major planetary players today and relate to relationship based and serious life decisions and events. Financial and organizational changes are also implied as these planets line up in Scorpio and Capricorn. This Full Moon is powerful, weighty, and meaningful in terms of long term impacts. Wear Gold.

Thursday: Taurus Moon, still offering Full Moon effects and news. Closure is common when the Moon is Full. One thing gives way for another or creates some space for what's to come. Neptune and Pluto in harmony with the Moon while Mars offers a stubborn square. Letting go or leaving a group may not be easy. Today's color is Light Blue.

Friday: The Sun meets Venus retrograde. Friends and lovers reconnect or approach each other, getting back in contact. We may dig into old clothing and give it new life. Repurpose something beautiful or interesting. Taurus Moon is opposite Jupiter and Mercury for powerful compromises and long lasting decisions. Void Moon in Taurus 10:49 am to 3:41 pm  EDT. Gemini Moon starts the weekend with a social, outgoing night. Today's color is Blue.

Saturday: Gemini Moon squares Neptune. Reliability is questionable with these mutable signs. It won't be easy to secure a promise or make a fixed plan. Sun sextile Saturn is harmonious for business agreements and transactions. Today's color is Black.

Full Moon in Taurus November 3/4, 2017

Taurus Full Moon arrives at 1:23 am on November 4th, one day before we turn the clocks back here in the northeast. The animals prepare for the cold season, and we experience even less daylight beginning this weekend. As the animals gather and prepare their homes, we too prepare our homes for both the celebrations and stormy weather winter may bring.

Taurus is the sign of prosperity and abundance, finances, comfort and stability. The most sensual of the earth signs, this Taurus Moon is  influenced by Neptune while Venus, planet of love is a potent force across from Uranus at the time of Full Moon. Experiences of romance, imagination, creativity and beauty are accentuated. Neptune also relates to spirituality and ability to believe what you cannot see. Metaphysical experiences could increase this week and through the weekend. It's a powerful time for meditation or renewing any practice that takes your focus from the external world, chaos and pressure.

Taurus Moon and Scorpio Sun oppose in the most stubborn, persevering, and relentless of signs. What goes on will be huge, passionate, and extensive. Changes made will take strong hold and show long term promise and results.  Knowing this, take your own word and actions very seriously. It'll be difficult to reverse your position or alter the course later on.

Venus opposite Uranus means surprise developments in relationships and perhaps in matters of justice, law, and judgement.  Venus is harmonious, reflecting and highlighting Libra qualities and values. Uranus is volatile, out of bounds and original.  You may find it hard to believe or process the changes or decisions some people make a bout their relationships and partnership life.  Saturn and Venus also align and point to freedom and responsibilities of being in partnerships. Some of this will need to be renegotiated during Full Moon time.

Aries: Abundance and partnership
Taurus: Individuality and routines
Gemini: Inner focus and Health. Changes among friends.
Cancer: Allies and Romance. Career/Home activity.
Leo: Career, Recognition, and Learning/Communicating
Virgo: Travel and Education, Philosophies of Life & Spirituality
Libra: Marriage and Commitments, Health and Routines
Scorpio: Marriage and Commitments, Broadening Perspective
Sagittarius: Routines and Health, Love and Friendship, also attention to pets
Capricorn: Love and Creativity, Home and Career
Aquarius: Family, Recognition and Honors, Friends and Love life
Pisces: Money, Windfalls or Expenses, and Communication including sibling relationships

Essential Oils I suggest for this Full Moon include Frankincense which is so aligned to the sign Taurus. Sensual and a luxury, Frankincense has many benefits and qualities you can benefit from and it's wondrous to take in aromatically or on your skin. I also like Rosemary or any of the woodsy oils like Fir or Spruce for this earth sign Moon.

Stay grounded and enjoy the senses during Taurus Moon. Notice in which ways you are resourceful, abundant and loved.

Peace & Prosperity!
Robin

Donate Now - Secure Online Fundraising Monday: Void of Course Moon in Aries

The Moon enters void of course time at 8:25 am EDT until 2:07 am Tuesday.  Moon and Uranus meet and Mercury is directly across in Libra.  Unanticipated events, changes and communication challenges are likely.  Temporary fixes, substitutes, and alternative plans dot the day.  Tuesday is a better day for most activities. The Full Moon is in Taurus at 8:05 am Tuesday and it's a fruitful, solid time for all sorts of things from pleasures to accomplishments. Today could be a scramble to meet a due date, completion, or just keep matters calm and under control.  Wear yellow.

Tuesday: Taurus Full Moon

The Moon is Full in Taurus, in harmony with Neptune and Pluto. Opportunities and settlements come.  Resolve something, finish a project successfully, and celebrate abundance.  Quite a friendly Full Moon, this one's also influenced by Jupiter and Venus in Virgo. The earth sign trines lend stability to decisions and foster growth.  Actions taken now have lasting results and impact.  Commit.  Today's color is white.

Wednesday: Taurus Moon

The Moon aligns with Venus, Jupiter and Mars, all in Virgo. Today can be productive or relaxing. Love and relationship, especially the practical aspects of living together and being agreeable, are favored today.  Full Moon finish ups continue including trying loose ends, acting with long term intention and bringing the body into balance and good health.  Void of course Moon from 11:20 am until Thursday 2:24 am EDT. Today's color is green.

Thursday: Gemini Moon

Gemini Moon arrives at 2:24 am, opposes Saturn in Sagittarius and squares Neptune in Pisces.  The dualities of responsibilities versus freedoms, honesty and half truths, and fanciful versus pragmatic thinking contrast and show themselves.  It would be natural to have an inner struggle with decision making or choice of words or topics.  Creative use of wording can be humorous or misleading.  The mind is likely to be busy today.  Keep some flexibility in thinking and the way you respond to others.  Shift your perspective if seeing the other side could be beneficial.  Today's color is blue.

Friday: Gemini Moon

The Moon squares Jupiter, Venus and Mars, and we'll exchange and explore ideas, searching for agreement and plans while sorting through points of disagreement as well. The Sun and Neptune form an idealistic trine, and with the Sun in Scorpio it may be hard to let go of a fixed idea. This water sign trine is imaginative and magical at best. It can be romantic and passionate, especially for the water and earth signs.  Tonight the Moon and Mercury align at 10:52 pm EDT and then the Moon is void of course. It's a social night out followed by a family or home oriented Halloween tomorrow. Today's color is light blue.

Saturday: Cancer Moon

The Cancer Moon moves in at 5:09 am for Halloween and Day of the Dead on Sunday.  These ancient feast days have both pagan and religious roots, but most notably, they connect to our ancestry and those who have passed as does the sign Cancer.  Being home or with family is favored. Honor the elders or relatives who have passed.  Feel the psychic aspect of the season and the magic of the natural world.  Moon align with Scorpio Sun and Neptune in Pisces continuing yesterday's vibe of Sun and Neptune.  Today's color is indigo.

Sunday: Daylight Savings Ends 2 am EDT

Cancer Moon continues until 10:48 am Monday morning.  Today the Moon aligns with Virgo planets that are highlighted in the entire week forecast, Mars, Venus & Jupiter.  This is down to earth energy lending well to cleaning, sprucing up home and improving relationships.  The Moon also opposes Pluto and squares Uranus. This may cause tension or anxiety.  Grounding in tasks helps with scattered energy of Uranus in Aries or the fear that Pluto can bring up.  Pick a project you love and dive into it fully.  Today's color is black. 

Weekly Astrology October 29th to November 4th, 2012

Monday: Taurus Moon

Full Moon in Taurus is at 2:15 am EST. Mercury changes signs, moving to Sagittarius, just a few minutes later. The Full Moon is supported by Neptune in Pisces for spirituality, compassion, and creativity. Saturn in Scorpio, across the zodiac, adds importance to the events, actions, and decision we take during this Full Moon. The time may be due for a decision that required lots of deliberation.  Get good advice and look to the voices of experience.  This Moon is goal oriented and is about figuring out how to accomplish things in the best possible way.  Taking dreams and ideas to reality is the work of the Moon, Mercury and Neptune today. Mercury and Neptune square and our minds are very changeable and malleable today. It could be the right time to convince someone that your method or idea can work!  Scorpio, Taurus and Capricorn, this Full Moon highlights relationship events. Sagittarius, it's problem solving time and you should not ignore a puzzling situation at home. Look for solutions.  Mercury will retrograde in Sagittarius so if you're on the brink of a major move or decision, this is the last really good day, or postpone until after November 26th.  This Full Moon demands that we do what we can especially to create security, positive working environment, and if you're a Scorpio or Taurus, a stronger relationship or other collaboration.  Tonight the Moon is void of course from 5:01 pm until Wednesday.  Mercury in Sagittarius prompts us to apply to college, training programs, or for travel opportunities. Do that tonight if the due date is soon.  Taurus Full Moon is great for baking cakes! Today's color is gold.

Tuesday: Taurus Moon, Sun sextile Pluto

The Moon is void of course so we're best off doing routine things. With the Moon just past full, it's likely we may be dealing with due dates, news and events that need to be handled asap though. The Sun and Pluto work in Scorpio and Capricorn, and business and personal things that have been secret may have to be revealed. Deal with an emotional situation in a logical way and avoid some anxiety or drama.  It's a good day to find that elusive piece of information you needed, so ask questions tactfully. An air of reserve and authority will help when interacting with people. Both Scorpio and Capricorn like to keep private matters private.  It's not a good day to be involved in gossip or hearsay.  Take decisions seriously if you have to commit to anything, though with the Moon void you might just want to put promises off until tomorrow later in the day. It's a good day to bake, clean, prepare for parties or cook a big dinner.  Today's color is brown.

Wednesday: Gemini Moon, Happy Halloween!

The Moon moves to Gemini at 2:40 pm. After such a long void of course Moon, we may feel we have to reconnect with people or business we pushed aside a day or two ago.  The early hours of today are just like yesterday, good for routine or holiday and party prep. This afternoon the Moon squares Neptune and a revisit of a Monday Full Moon theme, probably about trust, might be necessary.  Creative juices could be flowing for last minute Halloween things too. The Moon opposite Mercury indicates reasons to negotiate and discuss, and tonight's plans may change or be up for debate late this afternoon.  Travel plans may need revisiting or revision too.  The Moon aligns with Venus for a Happy Halloween night, full of friendship and festivity, in Gemini and Libra.  Leo, Aquarius, and Aries love this Moon/Venus action too! Team up as a duo, partners or couples with the Moon in Gemini, sign of the twins. Wear yellow. Your Halloween forecasts are here.

Thursday: Venus opposite Uranus

Two aspects dominate the day and night. Venus in Libra opposes Uranus in Aries and you may feel like you're revisiting relationship situations from late September's Full Moon time. Sudden changes of status happen with an opposition like this.  We might enter or end love relationships quickly.  Other partnerships are implicated too, and some will find out things that change their feelings.  Unexpected announcements, departures and actions will change the course of relationships today and this week.  Gemini hosts the conjunction of the Moon and Jupiter which is open minded, communicative, and generally optimistic and beneficial. If there's a down side it's exaggeration. Try to to make something bigger, better or worse than it really is, in your mind.  The brain is a powerful tool, and we sometimes believe our own stories so make yours good and not too unrealistic! Wear red.


Friday: Void of Course Moon

The Gemini Moon is void of course and it's the second long void Moon this week. Sometimes it feels like we get nothing done or spin our wheels without focus on days like this one.  The Moon opposite Mars may have us edgy or inexplicably nervous or rushed.  Travel plans suffer delays or we make changes to original plans.  Today is best suited to the flexible and easygoing among us.  Type A personalities feel crazy with the disorder!  If you can change your mind at the flip of a coin and go with the flow it can be a good day for road trips and simple adventures.  It's a good day to get lost in a book or in writing you do yourself.  We are very close to Mercury retrograde and today will contain the reversals, transportation issues and technical or communication glitches of a retrograde day, I would expect.  Tonight is social though changeable and unreliable. The Moon is void of course until 3:43 am EST. Today's color is light blue.

Saturday: Cancer Moon, End of Daylight Savings Time

Today is busy with plenty of conflicting influences. The Cancer Moon squares Uranus and Venus in Aries and Libra. Relationships undergo change or strain.  Cancer Moon likes comfort and reliability and today could very well be lacking in those qualities.  Aries, Libra, Cancer and Capricorn particularly face relationship and love life challenges.  Venus squares Pluto and we need to face facts where love and trust are concerned.  We aren't likely to be very forgiving and grudges sometimes come up or begin under these circumstances.  Today is well spent with family, taking care of people we love, and dealing compassionately with emotional situations.  Cancer is the sign of home and it's a good day to take care of things there.  Today's color is white.

Sunday: Cancer Moon

Daylight Savings Time ends at 2 am.  The Moon is in Cancer in harmony with the Sun in Scorpio. This encourages us to express ourselves, create and enjoy music and art.  The Moon is once again void of course all day long, from 3:37 am to 2:30 pm tomorrow.  If this week has been strange or confusing and includes change and indecision, the void of course Moon times extended along with the close proximity to Mercury retrograde after a Full Moon are more than enough explanation! Take it as easy as you can.  Attend to home and family matters. Work at your art. Wear blue.
