Weekly July 18th

Monday

The Moon moves to Pisces at 1:13 am EST. Pisces Moon is vulnerable and intuitive and brings out our chameleon like traits. It may be easy to adjust to change and circumstances today as the Moon harmonizes with Pluto and Jupiter and meets Neptune. This effect can be good after last week's Full Moon shifts and news, but be careful not to get lost in someone else's agenda or problems. Trying to keep a strong sense of self can be challenging with a Pisces Moon. It's a very creative, imaginative, and day dreamy day. Pisces, use that to work on  your art, music, or dream up a new way of doing things. Libra, use that to refresh your routine or work habits. Try something different.  Virgo and Taurus you'll like the effect this has on your relationships, friendships and romance.  Leo and Aquarius, be realistic about money today because you may feel like you have more than is really available.  Seek opportunities to make more money or invest well.  In business and work today, our personal connections will mean a lot. Appeal to the emotions and show that you are about people for best results or to close a deal.  Tonight is easygoing and almost anything goes.  Wear blue.

Tuesday

The Pisces Moon is in harmony with Venus in Cancer and square to Mars in Gemini. This is a challenge mainly for making relationships work.  Water signs, Scorpio, Cancer, and Pisces have the easiest, most favorable aspects while Gemini and Sagittarius for example may feel confusion or struggle to make things work.  Words may get in the way today. Avoid arguments and steer clear of discussions that will create controversy, Aries and Gemini especially.  A go with the flow attitude, without pushing or provoking, is a good idea.  We're sensitive under a Pisces Moon and can be easily influenced, hurt, or even flattered!  Hold your ground in situations where you could be taken advantage of and otherwise enjoy the fact that hardly anyone wants to work too hard or make a decision today and tonight.  Wear green.

Wednesday

The Moon and Sun align in Pisces and Cancer this morning favoring many things from romance and deep connections to decisions that allow some flexibility.  Trying things out, keeping a water sign type flow and give and take is in the forecast.  We'll be less likely to resist change and more open to emotional situations and connections.  It's a romantic influence for Pisces and long term relationships are favored for Virgo.  Taurus and Capricorn really enjoy this influence in friendships and other relationships.  It's a  nice day to be on vacation or have a light schedule with the Moon void of course from 7:15 am through the morning. We shouldn't push too hard for anything. The best things will happen on their own. Sometimes it can be easy to be taken advantage of under Pisces Moon, so think before saying yes.  The Moon moves to Aries at 12:25 pm, and the atmosphere changes! We may be forced to react as the Moon and Uranus meet, firing us up, bringing on new news, giving us a sense of rebellion and maybe anger in some circumstances.  Power plays and who's in charge may create some challenge or disagreeable feelings tonight.  It's a good plan not to overreact or be too impulsive, especially for Aries and Scorpio whose fuses may be short.  Sagittarius, your love life could get interesting. Don't take crazy chances tonight.  Wear orange.

Thursday

The Moon is in Aries, opposing Saturn in Libra. The theme and question is "me or we"? Whether to move forward in partnership and agreement or go our own way is a recurring theme with Saturn in Libra particularly.  How much we can compromise and how serious we take our relationships and partnerships is up for discussion.  Aries is the "me" sign and the beginnings of things and Libra is the couples' and partners' sign with Saturn as the voice of experience and realities.  The need to take your significant others' wishes and statements seriously today is very strong! If you brush things aside like they don't matter that could be a final straw.  Legal matters are in the forefront too. Deal with important business today and make sure you understand what you're agreeing to.  Pisces and Virgo, for you this may be more about business.  Taurus and Scorpio may need some down time or a chance to catch up. Respect their do not disturb signals. Wear red.

Friday

The Moon is in harmony with Mercury in Leo and Mars in Gemini for a social Friday.  All 3 signs involved are more extroverted adding an outgoing aspect for fun and flirtations.  If you're doing business, social networking and mixing business with pleasure is a good idea.  Today is about games, entertainment, and making connections.  The Moon is square to Venus in Cancer, and if there's a struggle it's most likely to involve family or marriage type relationships.  One person may want to avoid problems the other wants to confront.  Another issue may involve conservative versus adventurous outlooks or plans.  Venus in Cancer sticks close to home while Moon in Aries thirsts for new experiences. The Moon is void of course in the evening for fun, but keep your head up! Wear yellow.

Saturday

The Sun moves to Leo at 12:12 am EST.  and the Moon moves to Taurus at 12:58 am. This is a day for strong will, resilience and long term plans and promises.  With the Sun and Moon and even Mercury in fixed signs, expect to feel decisive and focused.  The Moon is working with Pluto and meets Jupiter so we'll want to do things up big but without becoming unrealistic.  It's a good day or night for parties, a nice day for a wedding or celebration, and also a fine time to be at home enjoying food, life and the outdoors.  Wear green.

Sunday

Taurus Moon for outdoor living, gardening, cooking and enjoying the pleasures of life.  It's a good time, before Mercury retrogrades in August, to make long term plans, promises and commitments.  Taurus is a sign that perseveres.  Today is meant to be simple, though with a Taurus Moon we generally want to indulge in food, drink and anything that fills the senses.  If you're working, focus is strong.   Decide on something you want to really commit to. Wear pink.

Weekly July 11

Monday

The Moon moves to Sagittarius at 5:47 am. One of the fire signs in the zodiac, Sagittarius Moon makes us want to move on things! Uranus adds to that effect from the sign Aries, and we're in for a spontaneous and possibly impulsive day full of news, changes, and if you choose, adventure.  Travel is favored and so is learning and experiencing. Trying something out or on for size is in the forecast. We won't want to settle for the status quo, and boredom is the enemy.  Mercury and Mars align in in Gemini and Leo for a social outgoing attitude, and this is a good night out whether for business or pleasure.  Today's color is red.

Tuesday

The Moon is void of course in Sagittarius from 8:21 am today until 10:14 am tomorrow. It's a good day to be on vacation or doing recreational things versus any kind of serious business.  Keeping a light, flexible schedule is best.  Today we'll lean toward competition, action, movement, and also philosophical talks or even learning. Exploring ideas is as much in favor as exploring new places with the Moon and Mercury in Leo aligned.  Tonight we're impacted as Venus in Cancer squares Saturn in Libra for serious relationship and partnership discussions and decisions. Resolving family matters will take some work but may be worth the struggle tonight and tomorrow.  Look for the most fair, balanced outcomes.  Today's color is purple.

Wednesday

The Moon moves to Capricorn at 10:14 am and is in harmony with Neptune in Pisces for a blend of creative and constructive approaches. Take visions to the next level and make ideas reality by tapping into the imaginative nature of Neptune and the organized hands on method of Capricorn Moon.  Team up with someone who has a complementary skill or way of doing things for best results.  Capricorn and Pisces might make a good team, for example.  The Moon squares Uranus and meets Pluto later on, and how we react to confrontations and surprises is key.  Turns of events that force us to face realities and the shadow sides of situations or people become likely.  With Capricorn Moon we tend to detach from anything too emotional or dramatic and that may frustrate a fire or water sign like Aries or Cancer since reacting and emotionally engaging is natural for them.  Things may seem to happen or develop very quickly today as we get into the Full Moon warmup. Tonight the Moon and Jupiter favor a very grounded approach and positive attitude. Wear green.

Thursday

The Moon will be Full overnight tonight and there's plenty of reason to anticipate stress and opposition today.  The Capricorn Moon is square to Saturn and opposite Venus. You're not imagining if it seems like almost everyone is going through big relationship struggle and upheaval. The reverb from last month's eclipses is in the air triggering those unresolved problems and relationship as well as legal and authority issues will come up this week.  Muddling through, trying to find compromises and workable plans is in the forecast. With the Capricorn Moon, it's best not to allow things to get too dramatic. A methodical, solution oriented approach is best.  Tonight is more of a work than play night and Full Moons tend to bring crunch time.  Be productive today and tonight.  Wear black.

Friday

The Moon is Full in Capricorn at 2:40 am EST after a square to Saturn and opposing Venus. Cancer and Capricorn have experienced a series of eclipses and both signs can expect to be profoundly affected, possibly finally resolving something that may be as much as two years in the making. Sagittarius and Gemini were also eclipse babies this spring and the repercussions of the June and July 1st eclipses vibrate with this Full Moon.  Aiming for productive solutions with a practical aspect is the idea with this Full Moon. The teeth and bones are Capricorn's domain so take care of any related problems or pains.  Legal and authority issues and our elders and older relatives are in focus at this Full Moon so news and developments in those areas shouldn't surprise us.  Capricorn, ruled by Saturn, has to do with responsibility, career, and even mental health, for example depression. Some peaks in these areas are likely. Be willing to deal with problems, step up to challenges, and take wise advice.  This would be the Full Moon of sages and those who enforce values. It favors tradition and a constructive approach. It's fair to say this is a no nonsense Full Moon. Meet deadlines, make serious decisions. The Moon moves to Aquarius at 4:30 pm and tonight may be more social if work or personal pressures were bogging you down during business type hours. Wear gold.

Saturday

The Moon is in Aquarius until the wee hours of Monday. The Aquarius Moon lends itself to looking forward with clear eyes and a willingness to think out of the box.  The Moon is square to Jupiter so we may tend to be stubborn particularly about not scaling things down.  Being fixed with our vision and unyielding is likely. However the Moon and Saturn make some partnership issues easier to see or clear up. Finding like minded people to work on projects and plans is favored today. Divide work up fairly and create team and community efforts.  It's a social night. Aquarius Moon time is when groups gather for parties or planning effectively.  Again, a no drama attitude is much more productive. We're still in the full Moon zone and this Moon sign does not appreciate emotional scenes.  Wear turquoise.

Sunday

The Moon remains in Aquarius, void of course from 8:23 m on. The Moon and Mercury are opposite for discussions that can result in compromise! Meet someone halfway today.  Opposites may also attract. Explore ideas you might have rejected previously.  Social events, relaxation, and group energy and work is well timed.  Wear silver.

Weekly July 4th

Monday

It's a time of movement and change may seem like a constant! Venus is in Cancer from today until July 28th,  favoring Cancer as well as relationships for Capricorn and money matters for Gemini and Sagittarius. Since these 4 signs have been most directly impacted during the last month of eclipses, this should be helpful and welcome! Mercury is newly in Leo and will retrograde back to Leo in August making this the time for long term decision making, versus most of next month.  Take care of business now! Writers, those in any kind of media or entertainment profession benefit from Mercury in Leo, where the messenger and problem solving planet shines and thrives!  As far as today goes, Mercury and Uranus combine in fire signs for quick and spontaneous action, adventures and parties, but be careful not to let thing get out of hand! We'll tend to speak our minds without reserve!  News and announcement continue, and may have been spurred on by eclipses! There may be "Aha" moments, flashes of inspiration and shocking declarations. Venus in harmony with Neptune in the water signs adds an emotional, sensitive and creative element, making us day dreaming and making escape from reality very appealing.  It's a good day to do something fanciful, fun, and maybe a bit dramatic. We have a void Moon all day long until 9:15 pm making it a better recreational than business day. Being by the water works well too with pleasurable planets in water signs Cancer and Pisces.  Tonight the Moon moves on to Virgo at 9:15 pm. Wear navy blue.

Tuesday

The Moon is in thrifty, practical thinking Virgo. It's a mix of influences though as Virgo Moon works with Jupiter and Pluto for real work and sensible thinking with an eye toward progress and prosperity.  On the other hand Mercury is square to Jupiter meaning we may need to work extra hard to make things happen. We may want to do things on a grand scale when paring down a bit is necessary.  The Moon squares Mars too, and confrontations and debates are one effect.  Mars in Gemini is a multi-tasker yet can be very unfocused.  We might not quite know what to tackle first or how to best use our energy today.  The impact of all of this is a feeling of being all over the place but nowhere at the same time! If you can focus, work hard to get something significant accomplished since that is what will bring most satisfaction.  This earth sign Moon wants tangible results and flexibility in decision making. The Moon is void from 8:19 pm though almost all of tomorrow! Tonight is for relaxing or doing routine work. Today's color is brown.

Wednesday

There's a long void of course Moon in progress. Today flexibility goes a long way.  Try not to overbook and put pressure on  yourself or others.  Mars is trine to Saturn meaning they work together in Gemini and Libra for constructive solutions, but perhaps not without struggle or debate.  Look for solutions to partnership disagreements of any kind, from parenting to sharing of resources to business partnership agreements. Fairness is a theme today. We also need to be able to take our time and move at our own pace with all the information we can gather.  The Moon moves to Libra at 11:54 pm EST. Tonight is meant to be laid back and unscheduled.  Wear lavender.

Thursday

This Libra Moon is extremely busy, and other planets are interacting together too! An all over the place feeling may take over as the Libra Moon approaches Saturn which is always no nonsense and has to with justice. Restoring balance to unbalanced situations and emotions is a good idea today, but will require some doing! Venus is squaring Uranus which can be exciting but also chaotic in relationship matters. Venus in Cancer and Uranus in Aries may also affect Capricorn and Libra quite a bit where relationships are concerned.  Pisces and Sagittarius may have the adrenaline going about new love interests or other social situations.  Jupiter and Pluto in earth signs Taurus and Capricorn put us in the mood to philosophize and maybe shift our perspective and ideals. In Taurus and Capricorn traditional views may win out.  Expansion plans are favored in business and construction too.  Tonight be open to discussion and take communication seriously. It's not a time to brush things off. Compromise is favored.  The Moon in harmony with Mars in Gemini fires the brain rapidly and mental overload can be the result. Strive for balance in everything today. Wear blue.

Friday

The Libra Moon is void of course from 2:29 am until Saturday at 2:31 am. It's the 2nd quarter Moon, and Moon and Sun square in Cancer and Libra. This part of the lunar cycle is about striving for progress and with the cardinal signs so active, the effect is enhanced.  Relationships are often in the forefront during Libra Moon and negotiating for fair decisions and outcomes is the idea. Venus is opposite Pluto exaggerating one on one relationships and our need to find balance and honesty in them even further.  Cancer and Capricorn host that opposition and Sagittarius and Gemini, this hits your financial sectors and separating, joining, or figuring out joint resources is the main idea.  Pay attention to legal and partnership matters of any kind today. Wear white.

Saturday

Venus in harmony with Jupiter sets us up for a pleasurable day. The Moon is in Scorpio for creativity, romance and a tendency toward the extreme. Scorpio Moon is passionate and intense, and with planets in Cancer and Taurus, and Leo and Libra working together much is in favor and we'll tend to agree more easily, align ourselves with people like us, form agreements as Mercury and Saturn align, and enjoy good times under the influence of Jupiter and Venus.  The Moon opposite Jupiter can be stubborn, but today as other planets weigh in, opposites should attract instead.  There's an air of commitment and confidence around decisions made today. Wear maroon.

Sunday

The Moon is void of course in Scorpio after forming a trine to the Cancer Sun at 9:05 am EST. It's a very agreeable day with vacationlike and creative activities most favored. We'll act on things we feel strongly about, and though it's an emotional day with water sign influences at work, it's a less moody and more expressive time.  Planting and fishing and other outdoor experiences will be appealing and perhaps prosperous.  Wear indigo blue today.

Solar Eclipse July 1st

The culmination of a trio of eclipses that have been rocking our worlds, this Solar Eclipse in Cancer, sign of family and home, happens overnight tonight. This is the forecast I wrote last week at Robins Zodiac Zone dot com with an addendum sign by sign added tonight. If you know your Rising Sign, that and your Sun sign are the two to read.

Friday's Forecast:

The Solar eclipse happens before sunrise, in Cancer, at 4:54 am. Be ready for most anything in the form of breaking news, unexpected announcements, and major shifts in direction. The New Moon in Cancer is about home, family, our emotions, our comfort level, and our ability to face things directly.  With a Solar eclipse there will be immediacy in dealing with these things whether we feel ready or not.  Since Saturn is approximately square to this Solar Eclipse, with Moon and Sun in conjunction, there's a very serious element involved and how we deal with changes is very important! We may tend to be reactive and dramatic, though that's not the best idea.  Saturn in Libra is urging justice and balance. Look at pros and cons and try not to make overly emotional decisions.  Saturn is about maturity and reaching new levels of responsibility and wisdom. The Sun is also representative of authority figures, the father to be most specific.  Try to take the wise, advised route over an impulsive move.  Eclipse effects ripple again-if not roar-one month down the road, and so this one is like a double whammy as impacts of June 1st reverberate again too! Things begun near then may now have quick endings or unexpected results. For example, pregnancy from a new relationship or loss from a big gamble. Those are possible examples and the results can be a plus or unwanted. Either way our challenge is in how we respond.  This is Mercury's last night in Cancer, and once again we are primed for changing our minds and hearts in a big way in the days ahead if not right now! Wear white.

Cancer: Very personal changes in your way of thinking and/or presenting yourself are the result of this eclipse. The closer your birthday is to July 1st, the more dramatically you're impacted.  Eclipses accelerate events that were expected maybe further down the time line, so you may suddenly be faced with something you were putting off and hoped would go away.  You're going to make a noticeable shift, ready or not, and how you react to the eclipse events will shape your newer self.  News you receive may stun you at first. News you break to others, such as romantic partner or family members will take them off guard. It's all in the name of figuring out who you really want to be and then pursuing that path.  You've been working on this for the last two years or so. There's no time like the present.

Leo: Unless you have Cancer rising, the changes this eclipse brings happen below the surface. You can probably take your time to adjust to news and changes around you. You're likely to be deciding what you think, immersing yourself in thoughts, possibilities, and possibly imagination and envisioning. Leos can channel uncertainty into creativity. Your brain will work overtime in sleep and dreams, and that is where your answers may be found! Give yourself plenty of down time, recharge your self, and take good care of your health. Leo is ruled by the Sun, so solar eclipses always implicate you, but this one is more of a sleeper with a time release. No need to rush things.

Virgo: Cancer is the sign that rules your 11th house, a place of hopes and dreams, friendship and groups you belong to.  During this challenging eclipse, you may suddenly see what or who is in the way of your ultimate goals.  Defining the blocks can help remove them.  Clearing out friendships that no longer serve you or are unhealthy may be one of the actions you take now.  Even if not, changes in your social circle are to be expected.  You could join or leave a group that has been important in your life in pursuit of something new.  Friends may throw curve balls, changing the whole game.  It is true that who we associate with says a lot about who we are. Keep that in mind.

Libra: This Solar eclipse impacts how others see you and how you present your self professionally and publicly.  Your image could change rapidly. You may be put in the spotlight or on the other hand, you could lose a role that is very important to you. Either way you are forced to reinvent, make a new impression, and draw upon your strengths and talents. There could be a big tug between career or other opportunity and family. Assume you're being watched & evaluated. Put forth your best and stay on the up and up as you respond to unexpected events. Have dignity and grace.

Scorpio: My first instinct is that you'll have sudden reason to travel or move! Now this won't happen with every Scorpio or Scorpio rising individual, but the theme is the same even if the circumstances are different. Giving up old philosophies you were rooted in could be the other side of pulling up your roots and going! Some of you will be presented with grand, but challenging, opportunities that require you to risk it all, move away from secure situations, and open your mind to new experiences.  How you react is your decision, but the eclipse brings the impetus to change your life by accepting, learning, and having a spirit of adventure.

Sagittarius: You were more directly affected by the June 1st and 15th eclipses, however the ripple effects may feel like more of a tidal wave for the next few weeks at least.  Things you started may have sudden endings or unexpected turnouts.. There are more surprises in store.  Financial situations, affairs of the heart, and spiritual beliefs may all be involved and challenged.  You've had a lot to deal with already this spring, and this might be icing on the cake or a final straw depending how you view news and events experienced now. One thing is certain, you can't avoid your emotions this time.

Capricorn: Your forecast is much like Cancers with more of an emphasis on relationships. Circumstances now push you to decide who you want to be: wife, mother, husband, father, single, attached, independent or even co-dependent. It's up to you! But the events that cause you to evaluate and decide are not in your control.  You're more likely to be reacting to someone else's declaration, situation or news. The results are highly personal however. And again, this has been two years in the making for you and for Cancer. The time really is now.

Aquarius: If you love routine and thrive on the day to day, reliable, familiar things, this eclipse may rock your world and drive you nuts. If you're not so set in your ways, the changes may feel exciting. There's a good change how you operate, either at work or in personal schedule and routine, is about to go through a significant shift. It's a real opportunity to learn to do things in new ways.  Adjusting is your challenge. Like Leo, get lots of rest and recharge time and take good care of your health/self.

Pisces: Romance and luck are what Cancer rules in your chart! Eclipses bring change and news so you may feel a big victory, enjoy a whirlwind romance, or even fall out of love. Either direction is possible, but the element of surprise is consistent.  Like Virgo, your social circle may be due for a change. New friends and shedding old ones could be the result of what you find out or experience now.

Aries: Home and career pull you in different directions now. Family things need balancing and working out. It looks like a lot of problem solving to be done, Aries. This may the time you change your residence or make big changes in your living situation including who you live with as well as where.  Parents, parenting, and other family situations force themselves into priority status. How to live together or how to live apart and how to keep your sense of self and goals are all issues you'll be considering.  If home is stable and unchanging, career decisions are put on the to do now list by this eclipse. React wisely.

Taurus: How you communicate is of supreme importance during this eclipse. Choose words carefully and mean what you say.  Cancer house in your chart is about brothers, sisters and others we grew up with, therefore family news is likely and a trip back home may be in order too.  Others will be affected by what you say and do so be clear and straightforward.  A change of scene does you a world of good in some cases.  Stay on top of your game. Watch the mail, email and pay attention to paperwork, for example agreements or legal documents, that can't wait.

Gemini: The last two eclipses were very much about personal and relationship changes and adjustments, some of them dramatic, unexpected or even short lived.  This eclipse will reverberate with that energy too, but now there is an added element related to money. Finances may change quickly now in either direction. It's important to stay on top of that and not let a money matter get out of hand. Employment situations can change now too, so make good decisions where work is concerned in case there's potential for a promotion and in defense of the job you hold now as well.  Cancer is the home/family sign, the Sun is the father or authority figure, so this eclipse rolls all that up into one big drive for security, responsibility and financial stability.  The more conservative Cancer approach may be whats called for. Think nest egg.

Weekly June 27th

Monday

The Taurus Moon moves void of course at 12:24 pm so business and decisions are best taken care of in the morning.  The Moon is in harmony with  Mercury in Cancer making it easy to work things out agreeably. Practical and home/family related talks and problem solving are favored today.  Taurus is an earth sign and hands on work and physical workouts, gardening and landscaping, and other activities where we get tangible results will be very satisfying today.  In fact the afternoon is best suited to things that require elbow grease rather than lots of thought.  Work out emotions with physical work and exercise too!  Mars and Uranus are the other part of the story today, harmonizing -even conspiring-in Gemini and Aries, getting us all fired up to act on wild ideas and change, overthrow, and get ready for big restarts. If the "tower falls" now, think of how you can rebuild it bigger and better! Tonight is meant for family dinners, outdoor fun, and our comfort zones over anything more adventurous.  The Sun is opposite Pluto so use your best judgment and don't go overboard, Cancer and Capricorn especially. Wear green.

Tuesday

The Moon moves to Gemini at 3:56 am, setting us up for a busy and social day.  The Sun opposite Pluto overnight can sometimes prompt us to act out, so there may be some emotional drama as a result. With the Sun in Cancer, family situations and very sensitive circumstances are triggered.  Be ready to face things calmly so they don't get out of hand early.  Proactive, with out too much aggression, is just right.  The Moon meets Mars in Gemini today, which can both stimulate and aggravate things, especially worries and anxieties and any kind of injury to the hands or wrists, Gemini's hot spots.  The downsides are obvious, but the other extreme of this conjunction can be great brainstorming, exciting meetings and connections, and excellent chemistry between people. Gemini, Leo and Aquarius are most likely to make those great connections today! Protect your hands, wrists, and fingers if you do physical work or play. And be very careful with communications today since Gemini rules the spoken and written word and Mars can exacerbate misunderstandings and contribute to the power of words! It's a good social day or night as long as you don't offend other people!!! Things can escalate quickly on days like this.  Wear yellow.

Wednesday

The Gemini Moon aligns with Saturn in Libra, very much instigating productive solutions and thoughtful, balanced decisions.  It's a day to take serious steps in areas that have been problematic.  Getting wise advice is a good idea.  Look for impartial sources that are not emotionally involved and do not have a stake in outcomes.  In some cases older relatives might be helpful.  If there's anxiety around  situation, this may be the day to take a new attitude and put worries that hold you back aside.  Take a real, well advised approach today.  It's a good day to network with people who can lead you to opportunities or who have experience in the area you're pursuing.  Tonight the Moon approaches Venus for a very nice night out. Flirtations are likely! Gemini is the social butterfly, and again Leo and Aquarius are not far behind.  Sagittarius, you can turn a long term relationship back in a romantic direction now or you might consider getting back together with an ex.  Wear lavender.

Thursday

The Moon is void of course from 3:33 am EST until 12:13 pm when she moves on to Cancer. Those hours are full of jittery Gemini energy ranging from butterflies in the stomach over happy Venus type things like romance to stage fright over what's pending this morning or afternoon.  Take it easy and check your schedule. We may forget where to be or where we put things we need first thing! The morning is best for catch up and routine though inability to focus may get the best of us.  This afternoon's Cancer Moon is in agreement with Neptune in Pisces for great creativity and improvisation. Actors and artists, find your muse! The evening is very mixed as the Moon works with Jupiter in Taurus for doing things up big! Celebrations, for example, are nicely timed. However the Moon square to Uranus provides the shock or surprise factor and potential clashes over emotional differences.  The Moon opposite Pluto is nearly always a challenge, and Capricorn and Cancer feel this personally and relationship wise, while Libra and Aries may relate to that as well as to struggles with family or other living arrangements.  It's an especially mixed night for Cancer. On this night before the New Moon, consider your ideal or best course of action and get ready for restarts and new approaches, relationships, and endeavors.  Wear silver.

Friday

The Solar eclipse happens before sunrise, in Cancer, at 4:54 am. Be ready for most anything in the form of breaking news, unexpected announcements, and major shifts in direction. The New Moon in Cancer is about home, family, our emotions, our comfort level, and our ability to face things directly.  With a Solar eclipse there will be immediacy in dealing with these things whether we feel ready or not.  Since Saturn is approximately square to this Solar Eclipse, with Moon and Sun in conjunction, there's a very serious element involved and how we deal with changes is very important! We may tend to be reactive and dramatic, though that's not the best idea.  Saturn in Libra is urging justice and balance. Look at pros and cons and try not to make overly emotional decisions.  Saturn is about maturity and reaching new levels of responsibility and wisdom. The Sun is also representative of authority figures, the father to be most specific.  Try to take the wise, advised route over an impulsive move.  Eclipse effects ripple again-if not roar-one month down the road, and so this one is like a double whammy as impacts of June 1st reverberate again too! Things begun near then may now have quick endings or unexpected results. For example, pregnancy from a new relationship or loss from a big gamble. Those are possible examples and the results can be a plus or unwanted. Either way our challenge is in how we respond.  This is Mercury's last night in Cancer, and once again we are primed for changing our minds and hearts in a big way in the days ahead if not right now! Wear white.

Saturday

The Moon moves to Leo at 5:43 pm EST and Mercury moves into Leo too.  This helps us with resilience as we feel the effects and hear eclipse related news.  Expect others to be very expressive today and tomorrow. Leo is also generous, magnanimous, and optimistic.  This weekend is for showoffs and entertainers. Tomorrow may be more the party day since today the Sun and Saturn square continuing the serious dealings of the Cancer eclipse on Friday.  Saturn reminds us of wisdom and discretion.  Take care of business as well as pleasure.  Mercury in Leo favors those who perform in the weeks ahead, and helps with writing, learning and self expression generally. Today's color is purple

Sunday

Leo Moon, and much like yesterday with an added dose of optimism. Read the eclipse forecast as well since it impacts this entire period. The Moon works with Mars in Gemini for social plans. Wear gold

Weekly June 20th

Monday

This is Mars last day in Taurus, and the Moon will shift from Aquarius to Pisces today at 4:45 pm EST. While the Moon is in Aquarius and Mars is in Taurus we'll tend to be stubborn, if not bull headed! It will be hard to sway people's opinions and it's a tough day to negotiate or debate.  It is a good day to work persistently at something you've been at for a while. The Moon and Sun are in harmony making us more decisive and confident, especially the fixed signs Taurus, Aquarius, Leo, and Scorpio as well as Gemini, where the Sun lives until tomorrow night.  It's the last evening of spring, and the Moon in Pisces and Mars moving into Gemini bring a feeling of possibility and flexibility to the night.  The trend of changing minds, hearts and direction continues through the month, and Mars in Gemini as of 10:50 pm makes us very fickle and changeable, Gemini and Sagittarius in particular,  with regrade to relationships as well as other things. Today's color is yellow.

Tuesday

The Solstice brings on summer at 1:16 pm as the Sun moves to Cancer today! Just minutes before that the Moon and Mercury are in harmony in Pisces/Cancer, the water signs, and we'll tend to be expressive with our feelings and possibly a bit dramatic and emotional today.  Instinct and intuition are strong with the Pisces Moon and Cancer action. We'll be up and down and changeable in general.  Two squares dominate the 2nd half of the day as Mercury squares Saturn and a real need for fair negotiations becomes evident.  We're challenged to settle things with everyone's best interests met as much as possible.  The Moon squares Venus in Gemini making us very fickle in love. Someone else may seem more interesting than the one you're with if you're a Gemini, Pisces, Virgo, or Sagittarius especially.  Flirtations could also be misinterpreted.  Relationship matters in general may feel problematic.  Tonight, keep things simple and comfortable under the Pisces Moon. It's a good night for movies, music or events outdoors.  Wear light blue.

Wednesday

The Moon is in Pisces, and Pisces' ruling planet Neptune is a strong influence today! Neptune rules dreams and illusion. There's more than meets the eye when Neptune is involved. Plus, the Moon has been void of course since 10:51 pm Tuesday, so our judgment can be really off and we could be misled easily. Be aware of possible deception or the view through "rose colored glasses". The upside may be that we can overlook flaws and see the bright side.  Mars in Gemini square to Neptune is a bit dangerous as far as con-men, untruths and business deals go. Err on the side of caution and trust gut feelings!  The Gemini Sun trine to Neptune makes us sociable, happy to meet new people, and generally optimistic. Ideally we just enjoy, but avoid being overly trusting.  Tonight is meant to be laid back and enjoyed with close friends. Again, like last night, movies, music and being near the water or outdoors is favored.  Don't make promises or rely too much on people's word and expect changes of plans. Pay attention to pets today.  Wear green.

Thursday

The Moon moves to Aries at 4:24 am EST after a long void of course Moon. If the last few days were relaxed or sluggish, you'll notice things shift into full gear now! The Moon squares the Sun, 4th quarter Moon time, at 7:48 am. We'll want to make decisions and act on things, even if there are hurdles to be jumped! Overcome a road block today. The Moon interacts with Mars and meets Uranus for wild shifts, potential confrontations, and overall call to action ready or not! Uranus and Mars are rebels, so drastically altering course may be appealing or even necessary due to this week's events.  Tonight is influenced by a Moon/Pluto square which often indicates a power play and can involved secrets, gossip, or old business.  Saturn across the zodiac in Libra insists we use good discretion tonight. Try not to let Aries Moon impulsivity get you into something you hadn't bargained for! Wear red.

Friday

The Moon opposite Saturn overnight and square to Mercury this afternoon makes it clear we have to deal with things seriously today.  Fulfill obligations, deal with legal, insurance and partnership/relationships matters responsibly.  Saturn says we'll pay the price for indiscretions and injustices now. Mercury in Cancer instigates negotiations between family members, other people who share living space, and also in emotional situations of other  types.  Mercury can be dramatic, moody, and a bit evasive in Cancer, but the Aries Moon pushes for discussions and fresh starts.  Expect to be faced with something that's been pending today. It's 4th quarter Moon time, so we tend to reconsider situations and decisions and look for new courses of action that can begin around July 1st. That's the New Moon and date of the next solar eclipse, this time in Cancer, so family decisions, changes of residence and changes of heart are what we're preparing for. (If you can say prepare in the same sentence as eclipse!) Tonight the Moon and Venus in Gemini set us up for a good social evening, a time of meeting and connecting with new people and in some cases an adventurous date night! Aries, a road trip will feel good, so get out of your usual routine. Gemini and Leo will really enjoy time with friends, and along with Aquarius too, are favored for a date night! Wear pink.

Saturday

It's an agreeable day as the Sun harmonizes with Jupiter and the Moon with Neptune. The Moon is in Aries then Taurus at 4:53 pm. The void of course Moon before that means no major purchases -but if you do buy, save receipts and make sure you know the return policy.  The earlier hours of the day are good for routine, cleaning up and repairing.  A game is also well timed, but anything more serious should wait.  The Taurus Moon from 4:53 pm through the rest of the weekend mean long term decisions and promises are more likely to turn out well and last.  Tonight can be pleasurable and indulgence is likely with a Taurus Moon that rules the 5 senses.  Socially the Sun and Neptune help us get along and make us more open. Wear blue.

Sunday

The Moon is in Taurus meeting Jupiter and in general harmony with the rest of the universe today.  Good fortune is Jupiter's work but it may not come the way we expect as the Sun and Uranus align.  Good surprises are likely even if they take a bit of time to process and adjust to.  Well tend to do things big today and exaggeration is likely too! Wear green.
