Robin's Zodiac Zone May 27th-June 2nd, 2018

Summer schedule and events like monthly Full Moon Yoga outside at Brick Hill posted here!

Sunday: Scorpio Moon and Jupiter meet and other planets have friendly aspects with the Moon as well. Abundance and long term commitments favored. The Moon is nearly Full for a sense of completions. Red is today's color.

Monday: Scorpio Moon opposite Mercury in Taurus. There's great power and meaning as well as longevity in what is agreed to or spoken today. Make sure you really mean what you say or write. Loyalty and follow through are to be expected.

Tuesday: Full Moon in Sagittarius and Mercury moves to Gemini at 7:45 pm EDT. Mercury changing signs creates change and uncertainty, and today it may be best to wait something out. Most of all, try not to be reactive, allowing things to sit with you for a while before expressing displeasure or a promise, for examples. The Moon is Full at 10:20 am EDT, in harmony with Mars, while Neptune is square to the Full Moon overnight. Activation, adventurous spirit and attitude, and desire for change come naturally. Yet a need to be skeptical and not dive right in without some questions and information gathering is necessary. Someone may misrepresent or something shiny may have less than a silver lining when  you take a closer look. So take that close inspection and wear your safety gear or have a friend watching your back just in case. If you need some movement in your life, this is the Full Moon for you. Today's color is White.

Wednesday: At 2:26 am EDT, the Moon squares Neptune is and then void of course all day long. This is a day to be free of commitments, able to take a spontaneous adventure or invitation. It may not be the best day for business, meetings, or making agreements that you hope to be binding. Avoid major purchases. Today's color is Light Blue.

Thursday: Capricorn Moon time starts at 5:27 am EDT. Opposite to Thursday, this is a day to do business or feel productive at home, work on a business plan or finances and organize. Moon trine Uranus and meets Saturn. It's all earth sign energy and the earth may call for our attention in any way. Notice any goings on around the land where you live, even your foundation, and see if something needs attention. Today's color is Brown.

Friday: Mercury trine to Mars and Venus trine to Jupiter indicate ease as we enter agreements, move from here to there, and come up with collaborative ideas. It's a beautiful day for some healing, self care, and follow through on what inspires you. Capricorn Moon with a variety of aspects, void of course at 11:37 pm EDT and for many hours on Saturday. Green is today's color.

Saturday: Aquarius Moon begins at 6:06 pm EDT and before that the Moon is void of course.  Consider relaxing or doing simple tasks rather than over-doing anything.

Happy New Moon this week! Robin

Monday: Taurus Moon opposite Jupiter retro in Scorpio. Effects of last week's Sun/Jupiter opposition may take hold or arise as feelings/emotions. There's a sense of permanence that may play into whatever is happening now. Moon aligns with Neptune and Saturn, very different influences yet the theme of buying in and planetary support for long term decisions is strong. New Moon is tomorrow. Clear the way. Today's color is Green.

Tuesday: New Moon in Taurus 7:48 am EDT. Pluto and Mars support the Moon. This is powerful energy, strong medicine, and a time for persistence and recognizing what's thriving whether it's been tended or not. Some things make their presence known with a message like "I am not going away." It's time to recognize what has grown strong. Uranus makes a bold entry to Taurus for a new era. If it wasn't obvious before, it will be now, that we must tend to our earth and find firm ground in a rapidly shifting landscape. Uranus will be in Taurus until November 7th and then step back to Aries until March, spending most of seven years in Taurus until 2025. Many things are likely to  change radically including the way we buy/sell/invest and exchange money and goods. Mars and Uranus square overnight into the morning and it's a highly volatile and charged up aspect. Step lightly and remain aware and clear in the mind. Uranus changing signs is associated with sudden and major events such as natural phenomena like earthquakes for example.  Gemini Moon starts at 4:43 pm EDT after a very short void time. Today's color is White.

Wednesday: Mars moves to Aquarius at 12:55 am and squares Uranus at 3:04 am EDT. Struggles and conflicts will be unyielding and fierce. Gemini Moon square Neptune is highly unpredictable and can be duplicitous. Today's color is Black.

Thursday: Gemini Moon void of course 2:18 to 5:47 pm EDT. The Moon and Venus create a social vibe. You may meet someone interesting to network with, share ideas, begin a friendship or date. Cancer Moon moves in for the evening and aligns with Uranus for some uncommon events, perhaps including family communication or news and changes around home life.  Today's color is Pink.

Friday: Cancer Moon with multiple planets in contact, and Mercury aligns with Saturn in earth signs. Expect agreements to be made including job offers and home or business leases or purchases. Today's color is Blue.

Saturday: Cancer Moon until 7:11 pm EDT, and Venus moves to Cancer at 9:11 am EDT. Cancer is the sign of home and family. Take care of home and all who live there. Settle a family issue with sensitivity. Venus and Uranus align for strong attraction like love at first sight or at least a feeling of that possibility. Leo Moon this evening is social and events may glitter and the party goes on into the night. Moon and Mars are opposite and some couples, friends or competitors may feel the tension. Today's color is Gold.

Robin's Zodiac Zone May 7th-13th, 2018

Monday: Aquarius Moon square to the Sun, the mark of 4th quarter Moon at 10:09 pm EDT. The Moon is in harmony with Venus in Gemini for friendly meetings, dates and collaborations. Mercury and Pluto square and there may be disagreements about how to accomplish things. Willingness to let go of an outdated method or belief may help. Today's color is Yellow.

Tuesday: Aquarius Moon in harmony with Mercury and Uranus for progressive ideas and team efforts around an initiative. Moon square Jupiter while the Sun opposes the same planet and there may be discussion or conflicting opinions about how to grow or move forward.  The Moon is void of course at 10:29 pm to 11:11 pm EDT. Pisces Moon begins at 11:11 pm. Perhaps you'll make a friend today. Wear Light Green.

Wednesday: Compassion, sensitivity and adapting to change characterize the Pisces Moon today. Enjoy making or appreciating music, film and art. Wear Light Blue.

Thursday: Pisces Moon meets Neptune, aligns with Jupiter, the Sun and Pluto and squares Venus. Attending to personal relationships and priorities is favored. Bring gentleness and kindness to any situation to transform it. Today's color is Blue.

Friday: Void Moon is 5:02 am to 8:40 am EDT, then the Moon is in Aries for a change of pace. The shift may feel abrupt or intense. Early morning emotions may need tending and acknowledgement.  The Sun and Pluto align at 7:10 pm for grounding through changes and for depth of feelings and in personal interactions. Remind yourself not to overdo, push or be overbearing. Today's color is Red.

Saturday: Aries Moon. Mercury squares Mars. Disagreements could turn nasty and arguments or conflicts heat up quickly, especially battles of words or wills. Maintain composure and use self control. Today's color is White.

Sunday: Mothers Day in the USA features Aries Moon until 2:15 pm EDT and the Moon changes signs with barely a skipped beat and only 10 minutes void before then. Mercury, the Moon and Uranus meet in Aries for quickness and spontaneity. The downside is that we could come on too strong or seem insensitive. Grand ideas and plans may be born of this trio. Taurus Moon moving in draws us to comforts and domesticity. Mercury also moves to Taurus today for long term decisions. Today's color is Pink.

Robin's Zodiac Zone April 29th to May 5th, 2018

Sunday: Full Moon in Scorpio is Sunday at 8:58 pm EDT. The Sun is trine to Saturn in earth signs Taurus and Capricorn the same day, and Saturn supports this Full Moon. It appears that business will be taken care of and sensible attitudes will prevail over even emotional circumstances. Allowing fears to come out in the open, they may be addressed. With strong energies in Scorpio and Capricorn, the processing we do may be more internal than externalized. People may seem more private, quiet and introverted, immersed in personal priorities.  Expressiveness and even affection may not be easily received by some people who feel the need for boundaries now. Check in on those who withdraw, feeling overwhelmed.  On the 30th, Monday, the opportunities and circumstances or people who can assist healing, growth, abundance and finalizing matters are set by Jupiter in conjunction with the Moon while Pluto and Neptune also harmonize from Capricorn and Pisces.  Notice your dreams and intuitions during this very insightful Full Moon. Sunday's color is White.

Monday: See Sunday forecast. Avoid arguments as Mars aligns with the Full Moon. Void Moon 10:56 pm EDT to 11:20 am Tuesday. Today's color is Indigo.

Tuesday:  Before 11:20 am, take it easy and slow. This day needs to settle in at it's own pace, or yours. Sagittarius Moon may brighten moods and activate us all the way around. Today's color is Orange.

Wednesday: Sagittarius Moon opposes Venus, aligns with Mercury and squares Neptune for a social day and potentially for fast talkers who may be very convincing. Trust your gut with these charmers. Not all that is said will be proven true. It's a good time for an adventurous date or collaboration. Today's color is Purple.

Thursday: Sagittarius Moon void from 8:50 to 10:06 pm EDT. Moon aligns with Uranus at the tail end of Aries for acting on inspiration and following the path of new ideas and plans or ridding yourself of what's no longer relevant.  Capricorn Moon is industrious 10:06 pm into Sunday. Today's color is Red.

Friday: Moon meets Saturn for a businesslike day. Get serious about those things you complain of yet never change.  Make a lasting agreement or promise. Today's color is Blue.

Saturday: Read Friday's 4cast. All of the days of this week become relevant again as the Moon makes a variety of connections with the Sun and planets. Notice what it's 'time' for.  Let a fear or mental block go if the time is right. Today's color is Black.

Sunday: Aquarius Moon starts 10:48 am after a one hour void of course time. It's a sociable Sunday. The Sun aligns with Neptune for being outdoors enjoying the earth and water features or for daydreams and creative projects.  Today's color is Light Blue.
