Robin's Zodiac Zone June 1st to 8th, 2017

Thursday: Virgo Moon, 2nd quarter, a time for productivity and progress. Try to leave pressure out of the mix. Today can be easy going as Moon and Pluto form a trine and Neptune is across from the Moon. Neptune's opposition can add to lack of timeliness and reliability. Notice if you're lost in a dream or detached from others. Ground where your energy is needed. Venus and Saturn form a trine for resolving partnership matters and taking the lead where forgiveness or other agreements are needed and perhaps feel overdue.  Today's color is Green.

Friday: Virgo Moon will be void of course 5:48 to 8:04 pm. Moon in harmony with Pluto, and Mercury, all in earth signs, favors the practical matters of life. We can communicate more reasonably and understand our own hopes, motives or fears better with these aspects.  Virgo Moon square to Mars and Saturn intensifies the call to act and to take things seriously.  Get into the details and stay out of disagreements. Know what you're willing to stand steadfast for as others may test your vulnerability or limits.  Libra Moon moves in at 8:04 pm EDT for a social Friday night and weekend. Today's color is Pink.

Saturday: Libra Moon meets Jupiter and the Sun aligns from Gemini, gracing social events and parties. Partnerships, marriages, close friendships, and first meetings are all favored today. You may feel the inspiration for something new or celebrate the results of what's been in the works for a long while. Venus and Uranus are together in Aries for spontaneous dates, strong attraction, and maybe love at first sight.  Today's color is Blue (wear your favorite shade!).

Sunday: Libra Moon square to Pluto retro in Capricorn. The Sun squares Neptune in Pisces.  Ask yourself if those feelings you have, that resentment or perception, is really truth. Could you let go of an outdated idea about someone or about a relationship or friendship from the past? How would it feel to be free of one piece of baggage? Live in the now and notice any detachment or fear of what's real. Tune in to what's right here in front of you and live your life more joyfully. Illusions are not your friend. Mars moves to Cancer at 12:16 pm EDT. Mars is uncomfortable in Cancer's emotional realm. Let go of defensiveness before it takes root.  Today's color is White.

Monday: Libra Moon void from 4:57 to 6:46 am EDT and opposes both Uranus and Venus before daybreak. Moon shifts to Scorpio for the rest of the day. Relationship matters are quite stirred up. Status changes may come by surprise. Feelings will come across very strongly for the next few days. The Moon aligns with Mars and you'll see protectiveness in play. Protecting one's own interests or feelings or privacy are examples.  Also we may fiercely protect other people. Wear Indigo Blue today.

Tuesday: Scorpio Moon aligns with Neptune and Pluto. The Scorpio energy is strong and intense. Yet, the trine angles may help ease tension or assist in processing emotional situations.  Venus shifts to Taurus after some fiery aspects in the past week. That can be a welcome relief if love and anxiety seem to be companions lately.  Venus is more earthy, loyal, and sensual in Taurus. Mercury moves to home sign Gemini at 6:15 pm EDT which inspires writing and imagination as well as networking with others for the next few weeks. Void Moon begins 8:35 pm EDT. Yellow is today's color.

Wednesday: Long void of course Moon ends at 6:59 pm EDT when the Moon moves to Sagittarius.  Keep life simple today. Take care of routines and what needs to be accomplished as the Moon waxes toward Full on Friday. Moon opposes Mercury at 11:39 pm EDT. Notice communication that comes through tonight and pause before responding, making sure you understand clearly and avoiding a quick reaction you might change your mind about later.  Today's color is Purple.

On Thursday, June 22nd join me outdoors on the 'dance floor' for RoZoYo® Solstice and New Moon Yoga with music by Happy Folk on Congress Square Park Portland, Maine 5:30-6:45 pm. This sequence will celebrate the start of summer and Cancer New Moon.  Come for the yoga, the music or to breathe with us! All are welcome and it's free, courtesy of Congress Square Arts. 

Weekly Astrology July 4th to 10th, 2016

Monday: New Moon in Cancer

New Moon happens at 7:01 am EDT, & the Moon meets Sun, Mercury and Venus today. There's more ease and happiness in the zodiac these days. Make peace with your own emotions and take care of the inner child. Comfort food, the comfort zone, soothing surroundings and sentiment help create the feel good vibes.  Jupiter and Neptune add healing, romantic and relaxed aspects. If something hasn't been quite right, it's a good time to start again.  Today's color is white.

Tuesday: Cancer to Leo Moon

Mercury and Neptune align in Cancer and Pisces. Communicate creatively. Enjoy the water. It really is a nice day to be on vacation as the Moon travels Cancer, sign of home and Leo, sign of fun. Moon is void of course 2:29 am to 12:28 pm EDT and then in Leo. Recreational plans, children, entertainment and playfulness are favored activities.  Today's color is gold.

Wednesday: Leo Moon,  Venus trine Mars, Sun conjunct Mercury

This week is pure astrological gold with vibrant Leo Moon, Sun and Mercury in Cancer, and harmony between the relationship planets, Venus and Mars. News, especially joyful news, breaks. New Moon prompts fresh starts all week. Venus and Mars in water signs help dispel tension and mellow things for smoother interactions and more passion and love.  It's also a highly creative time. Today's color is yellow.

Thursday: Leo to Virgo Moon, Sun and Mercury oppose Pluto

Robin's Zodiac Yoga on Congress Square Park, free & outdoors 7-8 am (Portland, Maine)

From 8:07 am to 6:41 pm EDT, Moon is void of course and then in Virgo after 6:41. Void of course Moon is fine on a day where you have little planned and might even help with relaxation. However, forgetfulness and laziness could make the day challenging. Reach out for assistance as Virgo Moon favors service and helpfulness. It could take a few hours to get what you need in place.  Analytical thinking and problem solving activate once Virgo Moon moves in. Act thoughtfully and carefully with those Pluto oppositions. Notice what's subtle, the undercurrents, and trust your intuitive voice. Mercury and Jupiter align in the early hours of Friday, so tonight is good for socializing, reaching solutions, and figuring things out.  Today's color is brown.

Friday: Mercury sextile Jupiter, Virgo Moon square Saturn retrograde

It's a day of expansion and refinement.  Mercury and Jupiter highlight agreements of growth. Growing a business or adding to a home or developing a health focused plan are some examples.  Virgo Moon puts emphasis on the smaller details and refining skills or systems in place. Saturn throws in wise and cautious messages, from Sagittarius (not a sign of caution, but Saturn is retrograde). I see this as a reminder of when going too far or too fast didn't bring the desired result. Consider what you learned in the past, or observed in someone else's life,  as you move a project or plan ahead.  Emotional patterns also come into play if you're facing what you fear. Fear usually comes from uncertainty. Is it better now to hold on for a while longer or to let go and see what happens? You cannot grow without eventually letting go. You decide when it's time. Today's color is navy blue.

Saturday: Virgo Moon conjunct Jupiter

The Moon harmoniously aspects 5 planets today! The Jupiter conjunction is a monthly occurrence that's nearing an end as Jupiter moves on to Libra on September 9th.  There are many beneficial, pleasurable, practical aspects to the Moon contacting Mars, Venus, Pluto and Mercury as well as the Sun. Move with momentum, intention, flexibility and care for others. Enjoy friendships, the land you live and breathe on, and perhaps a problem set aside or resolved. New Moon energy is still with us, so it's a good time for a new beginning or another attempt.  Void Moon begins at 11:28 pm EDT until 4:32 am EDT. Today's color is green.

Sunday: Libra Moon

Good vibes continue as they have since late June. The Sun aligns with Jupiter and Mercury trine Mars today. Again, agreements and plans for growth, prosperity, and forward movement combine with nurturing relationships and having heart, empathy and awareness of others as you do any of the aforementioned.  Libra Moon is about partnership, one on one interaction, complementing and balancing each other, and mediating where harmony is needed.  Virgo, Scorpio and Cancer host the Sun and planets most involved and may experience the benefits very directly. Today's color is blue.
