Moon in Taurus

The Moon is in Taurus, an Earth sign, ruled by Venus. Mercury is close by, also in Taurus. Feelings and thoughts may be drawn to things of beauty that you appreciate. How wonderful would it be to take a walk through a beautiful garden, to smell the flowers and delight in their wonderful colors and shapes. This is the sensual energy of Taurus.

Drink in this energy on this gorgeous Friday morning. Let it sweep you away in daydreams.

Signs

This morning as I woke and glanced at the current horoscope at 4:46 am CT (just hours before Mercury retrogrades), I noted Jupiter at the Midheaven. Jupiter, the bringer of expansion and rewards, and I thought that perhaps I should focus on her instead of Mercury.

I also noticed Venus and Saturn together in Sagittarius, the sign of Jupiter. I was fascinated by this because Love (Venus) of Father (Saturn) was the first message I saw this morning on my computer.

As my teacher, Sonia Choquette, advised my intuition class last November, "notice the signs, they're everywhere."

Mercury Goes Direct Today

Mercury goes Direct today at 8:57 am CT. This trickster has been up no good even yet this morning for me, messing with my computer!  

The Moon is in the watery depths of Scorpio with no VOC (void of course) until 11:32 pm CT tonight through 10:46 am Thursday. Shopping under a VOC Moon can lead you to purchase items that you thought would be useful, but later turn out to be left in the drawer, or not what you expected.

Get your Valentine's shopping done. Under the influence of Scorpio, you may choose a gift for your sweetheart that is rather "Shades of Grey" in nature! If you wait until Thursday or Friday, under the influence of fiery Sagittarius, the gift you choose may be playful and adventurous - a vacation for two?

Aquarian Full Moon, Sunday August 10, 2014

We will have an Aquarian Full Moon on Sunday, August 10^th at 1:10 pm CT or 7:10 pm BST.  This Full Moon is being called a Super Moon.  The reason it is called a Super Moon is because the Moon is at its perigee, or closest point to the Earth. 

At this time, Mercury is involved tightly with the Sun, and opposite the Moon.  Saturn in Scorpio is in stressful contact with the Sun, Mercury and the Moon.  This could manifest in restriction of emotional expression in some way – censorship?  There is a lot of Fixed energy with this Full Moon, so you are well advised to be aware and be prepared to go with the flow.

Leo New Moon on July 26, 2014

On Saturday July 26th at 5:42 pm CT, we have a New Moon with the Moon and Sun in the early degrees of Leo. Jupiter is also in early Leo, bringing an expansion of this warm, generous and dramatic Leo energy. Remember that this is a great time to set an intention, but be sure to do it within 48 hours!

Get outdoors this weekend and surround yourself with people you love. Go on a picnic, explore the zoo with children or go boating.

Jupiter is in tense aspect to Mars at this Full Moon, bringing to mind the possibility of aggression/fights/disagreements among those in close relationship.

Again, as we have seen most of the Summer, there is an abundance of Cardinal energy: Pluto and Uranus continue their journey through Capricorn and Aries (yep, Cardinal). To add to this, Venus and Mercury are now well into Cancer (Cardinal) - a security-driven, emotionally tender sign.
