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.

Robin's Zodiac Zone Weekly Astrology October 19th to 25th, 2015

Monday: Capricorn Moon

The Moon's monthly meeting with Pluto is supported by Mars, Venus and Jupiter in Virgo and Neptune in Pisces.  Constructive for action and productive for meetings, this earth sign energy helps us get things done.  Mercury in Libra squares the Moon, and if you can sort out differing points of view calmly and rationally, this leads to progress with legal agreements and system changes, for example. Take initiative today. Many things are timed well from job interviews to breaking ground for a home or business.  Today's color is gray.

Tuesday: Capricorn to Aquarius Moon

It's 2nd quarter Moon time, a time for progress.  Keep things moving on projects, negotiations and other priorities.  Capricorn Moon is industrious. Today the Moon squares Uranus in Aries and the Sun in Libra. It's important to take your time with personal or business differences rather than judge rashly or act impulsively.  Power struggles can come with squares in these signs. Passion versus intellect versus tradition is an example of what presents during this part of the lunar cycle.  Finding common ground is the key.  At 4:31 pm the Moon moves void of course until 9:38 pm.  These hours are for unwinding and not very suitable for detailed work. Routine studies and tasks can be accomplished then. Aquarius Moon moves in at 9:38 EDT and is community oriented. Look up from your work and see who surrounds you or is trying to connect.  Wear blue today.

Wednesday: Aquarius Moon

The Moon aligns with Mercury and the Sun in Libra today.  Social, collaborative, and extroverted energy infuses the day. Make a good impression, show your willingness to contribute, or step into a new social situation.  Scientific, inventive thinking is also favored.  Today's color is turquoise.

Thursday: Aquarius Moon, Mercury square Pluto

Aquarius Moon in harmony with Uranus highlights creative, inventive thinking and opens unexpected doors.  Follow up on hypotheses or opportunities. We'll tend to be socially spontaneous.  Like minds attract each other.  Mercury square Pluto relates to solving mysteries, seeking information, and discovering underlying circumstances or feelings as you move through a process.  This could be in business, education or a matter like divorce or in forming or dissolving another type of partnership.  Today's color is silver. 

Friday: Pisces Moon, Sun in Scorpio, Venus trine Pluto

The Sun changes signs at 1:47 pm EDT, and Scorpio time begins. Venus trine Pluto is an interesting follow up to Mercury/Pluto square. Today agreements should come together more easily.  Venus in Virgo is particular and Pluto in Capricorn is not very forthcoming, but the subtleties of relationships and information appear to have a more positive influence with this trine, a favorable angle.  Pisces Moon begins at 1:18 am after less than an hour void of course.  The Moon squares Saturn, meets Neptune, and aligns with Pluto. Show your versatility, keep good boundaries where they're needed and learn from the past. These hours can be creative and romantic.  Connect beyond the surface.  Today's color is navy blue.

Saturday: Moon opposite Venus, Jupiter, Mars

This weekend the Pisces Moon is opposing planets in Virgo, and on Sunday Venus meets Jupiter directly. Love is the hot topic of the weekend, and friendship and other close relationships are also highlighted.  Venus and Jupiter strongly favor Virgo and accent Virgo qualities.  Look for interesting relationship developments including practical agreements for couples.  These Virgo planets are down to earth and lead to problem solving and better management of day to day life together. There is also a romantic aspect, and the Pisces Moon helps that along.  Under these oppositions, aim to peacefully end disagreements.  Opposites attract.  Debates could happen and are likely to center around one person being the pragmatic while one is the escapist or the romantic.  Blend points of view and have it all. Today's color is green.

Sunday: Venus conjunct Jupiter, Mercury opposite Uranus

Today has entirely different aspects, and one is loving and giving while the other could cause harm or hurt feelings.  Be mindful with words as Mercury opposes Uranus. If we speak too quickly, the sharpness of the opposition may come through stronger than necessary.  On the other hand, that opposition as an inventive quality that grand ideas can grow out of.  Plans can suddenly change on days like this.  The Moon is in fast moving Aries from 2:22 am on.  Make sure you're paying attention to the right things as attention shifts quickly today.  The Venus/Jupiter influence is much more reliable, forgiving and yielding.  Emotional connections grow and resolving issues is favored. To go with Venus's vibe, wear pink.

Robin's Zodiac Zone Weekly Astrology October 12th to 18th, 2015

Happy Halloween. Song a day in R-October. Radio DJ relapse time. Feel free to steal this playlist.

Monday: Libra New Moon

The New Moon is at 8:06 pm EDT. Now that Mercury is out of retrograde and the lunar cycle restarts, refresh your routine or make bigger changes with brighter aspects. There could be some bumps along the way earlier this week, related to untraditional courses of action, startling news received or delivered, and legalities and partnership negotiations that must be taken care of. With Mercury and Saturn meeting tomorrow, believe it can be done and develop a solid stance or plan to initiate sometime this week, perhaps tomorrow. Keep things fair and balanced in one on one relationships under this Libra Moon. Go beyond rethinking to actually devising a course of action to follow. Get off the fence, so to speak. Void Moon begins at New Moon time, 8:06 pm.Today's color is white.

Tuesday: Void of Course Moon to Scorpio

In the USA, business hours are void Moon hours for the most part. Keep to routine tasks. Have a conversation you're hoping will go simply and well. Things may be brushed off more easily so ask forgiveness or admit an error and hope for the best.  Detail oriented work is not favored. Go back and edit later when the Moon changes signs.  This appears to be a transitional sort of day following the New Moon. Move slowly into changes. Mercury and Saturn align for major decisions and commitments. Later is preferable for announcing such things or signing off, once the Moon hits Scorpio at 5:36 pm EDT.  Concentration strengthens then. It's a good night for a date or important meeting as the Moon moves toward sextile with Venus in Virgo (3:13 am Wednesday). Today's color is indigo.

Wednesday: Scorpio Moon

The Moon harmonizes with several planets in Virgo, Capricorn and Pisces. Go for long term commitments. Give the final word. Sign agreements. Feel your will and passion activate.  All sorts of things come together more easily on days like this.   Know your own mind. Have good reason if you yield to someone else's agenda. Void Moon starts at 8:58 pm EDT. Today's color is dark red/maroon, a Scorpio color. 

Thursday: Mars trine Pluto

Under the influence of Mars in Virgo trine Pluto in Capricorn, get things done. This trine impacts the whole week, really, but is exact at 11:36 pm EDT.  Put fears and lack of confidence aside.  Act on well thought out plans, sort out information to find solutions, improve physical health and habits, and change a system that's not working well. The Moon is void of course in Scorpio. Many things can be taken care of though. Just be thoughtful and ignore urgent feelings in favor of practical, productive moods and deeds.  This can be a very enjoyable day for getting into a project that's been just sitting there waiting for your attention.  Today's color is black.

Friday: Sagittarius Moon

Sagittarius Moon moves in at 5:18 am, meets Saturn and aligns with Mercury in Libra. Expect activity regarding legal agreements, mission statements and other things to be put in writing and or published.  Philosophy, education and merging of priorities or businesses become important on days like this.  Address questions of personal freedom and other responsibilities and what all of that entails, in order to find some balance and consensus.  Neptune is in play, squaring the Moon and opposing Venus in Virgo. Relationships may feel the impact most. Honesty or trust can become an issue, and we can easily lose sight of what's practical during this opposition.  On the other hand, opposites attract is in effect and it can be a romantic date night. Just keep things honest. Today's color is light blue.

Saturday: Mars conjunct Jupiter

Mars meets Jupiter in Virgo and both square the Sagittarius Moon. Strengthening health is favored.  Organize and clean.  Sagittarius Moon trine to Uranus indicates quickness and spontaneity.  A pull to go out, have fun, and forget responsibility is balanced with urge to be productive.  Ideally, you can do both.  Pitch it and do big projects as a group.  Mars and Jupiter activate us for physical work or activities.  Today's color is red. 

Sunday: Sagittarius to Capricorn Moon

The Moon is void of course from 4:48 am to 2:52 pm EDT.  It's best not to have a strict schedule. This time is lax and good for relaxing or being active, so long as you're not restricted. Rules may be broken as will timetables.  The Moon is in harmony with the Sun early on, creating confidence and ease in relating with other people. It's also a great day to get lost in an engaging book. Capricorn Moon from 2:52 pm on is a good time for study, repairing, building and organizing.  Today's color is green.

Robin's Zodiac Zone Weekly Astrology October 5th to 11th, 2015

Happy Halloween. Song a day in R-October. Feel free to steal this playlist.

Monday: Cancer Moon

Moods take over and even the most centered are tested as Cancer Moon and Uranus square. Adding to the frustration of retrograde Mercury delays and confusion, Uranus often throws in a new glitch. Necessity is the mother of invention though, and brilliance can be the result of revisions.  The Void of course Moon from 7:04 am to 4:31 am EDT tomorrow is good reason to consult an editor and triple check anything requiring facts, figures or the final word. Autumn cleaning is a great plan for today, just don't throw away something you'll later need. Cooking is favored, but set a timer.  It's an unpredictable time, and schedules and changes of plan will be rampant.  Watch your step.  Cozy time at home may be just the thing tonight. Today's color is white.

Tuesday: Leo Moon, Sun square Pluto, Mars opposite Neptune

The Moon moves to Leo at 4:31 am EDT. Usually Leo Moon provides an optimistic boost and a boatload of fun, however on this Tuesday, planetary energies are all over the place and could be quite challenging.  The Moon and Mercury retro align for chance or planned encounters and contact with old friends. Mercury also contacts Saturn, requesting decisions and information of a serious nature.  Big life stuff will stare us in the face looking for answers. Meanwhile, the Sun and Pluto stir up fairness issues and mess with agreements that seemed solid.  Pluto brings up fears that may get in the way of progress. The Sun is all about justice and beauty in Libra, while Pluto in Capricorn comes from a darker place that could feel like cynicism or fatalism today. Let's just say pessimism and lack of belief in one self or the system may create problems in partnership, legal matters, and even in the arts.  Mars in Virgo opposes Neptune in Pisces instigating issues with traitors, con artists and deception generally.  Looking for an upside to the opposition, it could be highly creative and bring a dream to reality. Tell yourself the truth and be discriminating with who or what you believe this week.  It's kind of a complex day. Wear gold.

Wednesday: Leo Moon

Now this is more of a typical Leo Moon day. The Moon is happily powered by the Sun in Libra, providing brighter outlooks, more energy and promise.  Uranus forms a trine to the Moon for enlightened ideas and spontaneous gatherings. Brainstorming is favored and inventive, original plans can result.  Venus has one final night of a long stay in Leo, which could be likened to a last night of vacation or a long running performance. Celebrate something. It's an exciting night out, though with Uranus at play, be grounded and aware of your surroundings.  Void of course Moon is from 5:10 pm to 3:50 pm Thursday. Today's color is orange.

Thursday: Leo to Virgo Moon

Void of course Moon in Leo is meant for fun.  Combine work with socializing or games.  The Moon meets Venus just as she moves into Virgo, a place that's a little bit less fun for the planet of love.  Still, it's a great time for a lunch date and flirting. Emotional connections and feelings of connectedness abound. Even business hinges on the one to one relationship today. Venus changes signs at 1:29 pm EDT. The Moon moves to Virgo at 3:50 pm, and these two meet just after 4 pm EDT. Moon and Saturn square puts emphasis on meeting obligations and hammering out potential plans and agreements. Keep travel plans to a minimum now, or keep dates and times flexible, with Mercury retrograde. If you find something is in the way of booking a flight for example, be aware that Mercury retro will be over tomorrow and by Monday, conditions may seem more favorable to you. Venus rules the day, and so today's color is pink.

Friday: Mercury Direct in Libra

The Virgo Moon meets both Jupiter and Mars today. Count your blessings and feel more energized. A physical workout or a walk in nature is called for.  Avoid overindulging. Feel lighter. Business transactions are still under the influence of Mercury retro and also an opposition to foggy Neptune, so tread lightly, but routine things may go really well today.  Mercury stations at 0 degrees of Libra at 10:57 am EDT. Give a little time for adjustments before you go on a spending rampage or book a flight, but know that within a few days more balance will be present. Bring things closer to balance and establish a foundation to build on. Be more organized and have vision today. It's a simple, but sociable, evening with void of course Moon starting at 6:12 pm EDT. Wear brown.

Saturday: Mercury square Saturn

It seems a bit soon, post Mercury retrograde, to push for a decision or certain terms of agreement. Add to that, a long void of course Moon time in Virgo. However Saturn pushes that button today, and even grudgingly in some circumstances, final decisions will be made soon. If you can hold off a couple of more days there are better conditions. But if you've been delaying and putting someone off and know you'll never really get exactly what you want, maybe it's time to act. Saturn is shifting ways of thinking over a long period in Sagittarius, encouraging serious restructuring in life and in thought process and belief systems.  Mercury in Libra is all about creating more fairness and balance.  Try to get through until tomorrow or Monday before committing to a long range course of action. Today's color is navy blue.

Sunday: Libra Moon

At 4:45 am EDT, the Moon breaks out of the twilight zone known as void of course time, and shifts to Libra.  Weighing things out is Libra's work, continuing previously mentioned processes as Mercury and Saturn line up with the Moon.  Announcements and final decisions become even more likely. It's a Sunday, but this sets things up for resolving legal matters or receiving news with anything pending.  Jupiter trine Pluto helps us get beyond cycles of fear. Action comes easier now. Order and organization are priorities. The Sun in Libra is opposite Uranus, accenting self expression and individuality. Also though, unexpected actions can create chaos or be very unsettling.  The zodiac is quite interesting and mixed right now.  Tact is called for and may help you avoid strong opposition, resentment or confrontation.  New Moon is on Monday, and favorable if you're planning fresh starts. Today's color is black.

Aries Lunar Eclipse & September 28th to October 4th Weekly Astrology

Yoga Nidra with Readings at Freeport Yoga Co. on Saturday, October 3rd. I'm excited to be back at FYC 1-3:15 pm. Yoga Nidra is yogic sleep, a deep restorative meditation experience. Readings will be insights for every sign, gallery style, with some personal attention to your questions. Sign up in advance only at FYC on Bow Street Freeport or at www.freeportyogaco.com under classes to workshops link.

Aries Lunar Eclipse Sunday 10:51 pm energizes two weeks and means continuous readjustment with Mercury retrograde across the zodiac in Libra.   This repost gives a general idea of how the eclipse impacts your sign, but remember your rising sign and planets in your chart stimulated by the eclipse also count. Anything goes this week. Live in the moment as much as possible.

Sunday: Lunar Eclipse in Aries

The Full Moon in Aries is an eclipse happening tonight at 10:51 pm EDT (in some time zones it's on Monday technically). The eclipse affects much more than a day. Mercury retrograde is almost directly opposite, in Libra. Saturn in Sagittarius in harmony with the Full Moon lends some stability while also advising wise action only.  The eclipse signals completions, endings, relocations, and progressive change. All of this is slowed and perhaps complicated by Mercury retrograde. Discovering permanent solutions will be easier mid October and beyond.  The eclipse will prompt experimentation and possibly rash moves. Choice of words is extremely important if the situation calls for clarity and no question. We'll be going back in time to resolve things that need to be set right. But expect this to be a process, not a quick fix.  Uranus is close to the Full Moon, in the same sign, and gives a spontaneous or impulsive nature to eclipse activity.  Eclipse effects are not always predictable. That's part of the package.  Today's color is white. 

Here are some areas to watch for, sign by sign.

Aries: change in role & point of view, philosophical shift
Taurus: health & care of self or others
Gemini: friendship, mentorship, roles in groups
Cancer: career, talents, opportunities, public life
Leo: travel, education, contracts & legal documents
Virgo: shared finances/resources, legal partnerships & psychic experiences
Libra: relationship, roles, partnerships forming or dissolving
Scorpio: routines, health, situations at work & with colleagues
Sagittarius: friendships & fate
Capricorn: home, family/parents, changing living circumstances
Aquarius: communication, technology, travel 
Pisces:  personal developments from the solar eclipse on September 13th with added financial & employment aspect

Monday: Aries Moon opposite Mercury retrograde

With the Moon, freshly eclipsed, opposite Mercury retrograde in Libra and square to Pluto, ready to meet Uranus (the destroyer and re-creator), let struggles go, avoid forcing or trying too hard, and find a peaceful but productive way to spend the day. It's one of those days when you might be better off unplugged. Things are changing so rapidly, and with Mercury retro it's likely there's not enough correct information to act effectively with.  Don't be taken off guard or lose your cool. The upside to this day is the spontaneity, inventiveness, and freedom that the waning Aries Moon brings.  Not everyone will be ready for that kind of energy though. Realize others are struggling to catch their breath during this fiery eclipse time. Be compassionate.  Live without judgment. Find middle ground or allow a brief stalemate, a neutral time, in one on one relationships experiencing conflict. Orange is today's color.

Tuesday: Aries to Taurus Moon

Void of course Moon in Aries from 3:45 am to 2:57 pm EDT is not the time to hammer out an agreement or tackle a long term problem or a sensitive conversation. The exception is a peaceful talk where you have to make an excuse or apology without making too big a deal of it. Avoid any drama. Confusion is characteristic for the void Moon hours, and even more-so than usual today.  Moon in Taurus from 2:57 pm changes the game, meets Mars, and results in burst of productive energy. Create, cook, work outdoors, and enjoy the company of another, even if you're just listening to music or reading side by side. A quiet night might be called for since there's an abundance of wild energy, excitement, and eclipse related news. Today's color is brown.

Wednesday: Sun conjunct Mercury retro, Moon trine Jupiter/Pluto

A trine in the earth signs is constructive. Projects, building, growing, and taking small steps to resolve things are all favored. Break problems down into small pieces. Find satisfaction in getting one thing done well.  Don't expect or ask for a long term decision. It's not time yet. The Sun meets Mercury for socializing, and more deeply for forgiveness and reunions. This can happen randomly, the result of a chance meeting, or intentionally as you reach out to someone.  It's a nice day to travel to a place you always enjoy and take in the sights, smells, and feelings of being there.  Live life fully under this Taurus Moon. See the potential for growth. Today's color is lavender. 

Thursday: Gemini Moon opposes Saturn, squares Mars

The Moon is void of course from 6:44 am to 4:03 pm EDT. Void Moon impacts judgment, the conditions for getting things done, and sense of time. Today may feel like a waiting game. The key is to not expect answers during these hours, and instead do simple tasks that require only your innate skill.  It's a good vacation day.  The Moon moves to Gemini and goes on to square Mars and oppose Saturn in Sagittarius. These are tough conditions for settling arguments or anything oppositional. If you do make an agreement, Saturn's involvement makes the terms very serious. Saturn is kneading the way we look at the whole world, the bigger picture and our individual life philosophies and plans. Freedom and communication rights come into questions during this part of the week. Wear yellow

Friday: Gemini Moon

People will tend to be talkative and sociable. Gemini Moon squares Neptune so avoid gossip and engaging in tales that may or may not be true since this Moon/planet combination involves duplicity.  The Moon harmonizes with mercury retro and the Sun for more good reason to reconnect with friends or former colleagues. Versatile thinking is recommended when problem solving as the Moon squares Jupiter in Virgo. Think beyond the usual, ordinary possibilities and strive to expand your alternatives.  The Moon sextile Uranus is a reason to stay aware and careful tonight. Today's color is blue.

Saturday: Gemini Moon

Overnight hours look precarious with the Moon/Uranus sextile. Things can happen fast, without warning.  It could also lead to social excitement and fun, but keep it within limits.  The Moon and Venus align as Venus spends her last days in festive, glamorous Leo.  Creative thinking is favored as well as dressing up for occasions and doing things up in style. The Moon switches void of course at 1:18 pm, and Cancer Moon arrives at 8:22 pm. Get business and shopping done in the earliest hours of the day. Today's color is pink.

Sunday: Cancer Moon

Of the many Moon aspects today, the opposition to Pluto appears most dominant and is also the last one, at 8:14 pm EDT. On Monday, Cancer Moon will have one more engagement before void of course time and that is with Uranus in Aries. These are strong, challenging angles reflective of last weekend's Aries lunar eclipse. Continuing developments, news and reasons to deal with or problem solve come up. Pluto is about deeper feelings, mysteries, and what's been lying dormant. Old feelings, wounds, or sentiments come up readily today regardless of how other aspects from Mars in Virgo, the Libra Sun and Jupiter in Virgo (to name a few) play out.  Recognize how others are acting and reacting and also allow yourself to feel, without blame or anger if possible. Today's color is black.

Monday: Sagittarius to Capricorn Moon

The void of course Moon is 4:59 am to 8:33 am EDT.  Capricorn Moon in harmony with Jupiter and Neptune boosts creative thinking and actual results.  Change is everywhere, and Capricorn Moon favors productivity. However, Mercury is retrograde and we're approaching the second eclipse of the month. As you settle one thing or finish another, reasons to go back, change the plan or edit due to new information appear again and again.  Still, this can be an industrious day. Allow room and time for future edits and revisions whether it's documents, building plans, or your personal calendar.  Jupiter and Neptune continue to inspire.  Light blue is today's color.

Tuesday: Capricorn Moon, Venus trine Uranus

Two strong forces move through the day. Uranus, planet of destruction, re-creation, and awakenings dominates the day, squaring the Moon and harmonizing with Venus.  Love, passion and attraction are exhilarating.  Spontaneous, charming, and fun, Venus in Leo and Uranus in Aries add spark to an otherwise intense day of business.  Mercury retrograde in Libra requests mediation and aims for consensus with a square to the Moon. Capricorn Moon leans toward detachment and Mercury in Libra wants things to "look good". Things presented with shiny, appealing surfaces should be further investigated.  Do the guts of an agreement match your intentions? Is there enough to back up a decision today or this week? Uranus also squares the Moon for an ever changing outlook, more progressive take, and sudden developments.  Some will scrap all business for a vacation type day. A conference or networking opportunity could be fun and still count as work.  Focusing on people versus systems and details is likely to be a happier, less frustrating path today. Wear green.

Wednesday: Autumnal Equinox

A quiet, contemplative mood seems right during void of course Capricorn Moon 12:00 am to 1:51 pm EDT. If the week has been full of burden and responsibility, take time to exercise, do simple errands, meditate or sort what's piling up.  In the midst of so much change, life can get stressful.  Step back and accomplish one thing you can feel good about, and that includes taking care of yourself.  At 4:21 am EDT, the Sun enters Libra and autumn begins. The Sun's first aspect in Libra is a sextile (favorable) to Saturn in Sagittarius.  Thoughts and conversations take on a philosophical tone. Taking responsibility for your self and your own actions is important and the reasons become obvious.  The Aquarius Moon arrives at 1:51 pm and is agreeable with all of the above.  Long term decisions will be made though they may be altered after Mercury retrograde. Leave room for improvement and revision, but know that this is one of the better and more likely days to take action during the retrograde.  Today's color is turquoise. 

Thursday: Aquarius Moon

The Moon aligns with Uranus and Mercury. New ideas are shared, and in some cases acted on quickly.  The retrograde is a fine time to revise as long as you can revisit again after October 9th, if necessary.  Experimentation is favored today. Hypothesize, change the variables and explore freely.  Try to keep decisions and projects flexible with room for improvements, additions or editing.  Get excited about something promising.  Socialize at festive or community oriented events. Mars moves to Virgo, and we'll create products during this next Mars' phase. It's also a time of addressing health concerns. Today's color is silver. 

Friday: Aquarius to Pisces Moon

Today offers challenges as planets square and the Moon is nearly Full. Sunday's lunar eclipse occurs in Aries.  Mars newly in Virgo squares Saturn in Sagittarius. Much ado about who's responsible and who is not fulfilling obligations as well as delays and unwelcome changes impact our experiences.  The urge to do something now contrasts Mercury retrograde's influence.  Frustration and urgency may be problematic. Attempt patience and bits of progress.  Full Moon brings deadlines, yet the eclipse prepares to shift things, in some cases dramatically.  Do the best you can, and try not to pressure others.  Pisces Moon arrives at 3:44 pm EDT after a void Moon since just after midnight.  Avoid oppositional people and situations. Find your calm place tonight. Today's color is blue. 

Saturday: Pisces Moon

It's natural to feel shaky, uncertain, or thrown off course this weekend. If you don't experience any of that, be the support person for someone else. Pisces Moon is highly sensitive and emotional. Lunar eclipse in Aries is tomorrow, yet events can be occurring already. They are generally life changing, or at least they change life for a period of time and require significant adjustments to mindset and/or routines.  Eclipse events are the things you cannot control or change.  What you choose is how to respond and what path to take. It may not be time to decide right away either.  Maintain calm and surround yourself with supportive people and clam environments.  Music, art, nature and other pleasant things can soothe the soul. Void Moon begins at 12:32 pm EDT. Today's color is light green. 

Sunday: Lunar Eclipse in Aries

The Full Moon in Aries is an eclipse happening tonight at 10:51 pm EDT (in some time zones it's on Monday technically). The eclipse affects much more than a day. Mercury retrograde is almost directly opposite, in Libra. Saturn in Sagittarius in harmony with the Full Moon lends some stability while also advising wise action only.  The eclipse signals completions, endings, relocations, and progressive change. All of this is slowed and perhaps complicated by Mercury retrograde. Discovering permanent solutions will be easier mid October and beyond.  The eclipse will prompt experimentation and possibly rash moves. Choice of words is extremely important if the situation calls for clarity and no question. We'll be going back in time to resolve things that need to be set right. But expect this to be a process, not a quick fix.  Uranus is close to the Full Moon, in the same sign, and gives a spontaneous or impulsive nature to eclipse activity.  Eclipse effects are not always predictable. That's part of the package.  Today's color is white. 

Here are some areas to watch for, sign by sign.

Aries: change in role and point of view, philosophical shift
Taurus: health and care of self or others
Gemini: friendship, mentorship, roles in groups

Robin's Zodiac Zone Astrology September 14th to September 20th, 2015

Monday: Libra Moon

Libra Moon indicates partnership themes. Meanwhile Mercury is slowing down to begin a retrograde in Libra on Thursday.  It's best not to rush into things you can't easily change your mind about. This includes legal decisions, contracts, and commitments of a more personal nature.  Sunday's eclipse effects develop over the next several days, influencing some serious changes and awakenings.  If you're familiar with tarot cards, compare the Tower card to the effects of the eclipses.  There's a lunar to follow in two weeks so this month and October are significant transitional months.  Today's color is pink.

Tuesday: Libra Moon conjunct Mercury

Libra Moon contacts several planets including Mercury, nearly retrograde. Situations develop rapidly post eclipse, and you may find yourself dealing with something you thought was far in the future or said and done a while back.  Partnership themes continue as spouses, associates, and duos of other sorts reach crossroads and must take one path or another. Some agreements will be finalized quickly on a day like this, but may be up for reconsideration and more discussion in a month or more.  Try not to rush things, though Uranus indicates quick responses and the solar eclipse can force decisions too. Venus is in harmony with Libra Moon for dates and social fun.  Today's color is yellow.

Wednesday: Scorpio Moon

From 12:22 am to 11:43 am EDT, the Moon is void of course. Delays will be common and may be justified since we tend to be less sharp during these hours.  Turn it on at 11:43 with Scorpio Moon oriented to details and precision.  Focusing on the positive is important though since Scorpio Moon can also bring out obsessive tendencies.  If that's the case, try to lighten up and be less perfectionistic. Jupiter is opposite Neptune this week, exact tomorrow, with healing and heart opening effects. It's important not to believe everything you see and hear though. Listen to your gut.
Today's color is maroon.

Thursday: Mercury retrograde, Saturn in Sagittarius, Jupiter opposite Neptune

It's a very significant day of 2015 as Mercury begins a retrograde in Libra while Saturn shifts back into Sagittarius.  Jupiter opposes Neptune heightening creativity, healing, and compassion.  Jupiter was close to the Moon and Sun at eclipse time, so the effects grow and become more clear with this opposition.  Saturn will spend many months in Sagittarius, challenging rules and beliefs especially for those right around the 30 year old marker who experience Saturn's return. Mercury retro in Libra is a time to reflect, ponder questions without deciding for sure, and revisit old business especially things relating to partnership, justice and the law.  On the day Mercury stations retrograde it's best not to make major purchases or decisions.  Today's color is blue.

Friday: Moon conjunct Saturn & square Mars

Scorpio Moon is square to Saturn in fixed sign Leo. It's tough to find the weak spots or flexibility. The advantage is that we won't back down or yield too readily.  Compromise is possible only if it makes a great deal of sense so be prepared to state a strong case. Moon in harmony with Virgo Sun is sensible and meticulous, both. Do detail oriented work.  The void of course Moon is 3:49 to ll:32 pm EDT. Wrap important things up before then.  Move into the weekend with relaxation, simple errands, and exercise.  at 11:32 the Moon moves into active Sagittarius and then meets Saturn.  If you've let go of an important obligation it may stare you in the face, prompt a phone call or email, even if it's late evening.  Saturday is also a time to make good on what you promised, even to yourself.  Today's color is black.  

Saturday: Sagittarius Moon

This Moon sign is often ideal for adventures and getaways. However, this weekend with Mercury retrograde, Saturn in conjunction and Neptune and Jupiter square to the Moon, it's best to make sure you're not slacking too much.  Escapism could lead to other problems exacerbating.  During Mercury retro, past issues come up for reconsideration. What's fair is what's called for with Mercury in Libra.  Jupiter urges healthy decisions and actions without too much "fluff". Sagittarius Moon is toned down by all of the above. If you're off on a great adventure, make sure things are well taken care of at work or home.  Today's color is navy blue.

Sunday: Sagittarius Moon

The Moon aligns with Mercury retrograde, Venus in Leo and Uranus in Aries. There are spontaneous and friendly aspects here and most things fall together more easily.  Traveling back to places you've loved, seeing old friends, and taking a spur of the moment adventure is more in favor than on Saturday.  If you've dealt successfully with an obligation or two, celebrate.  Today's color is purple.
