Aries: Masculine, Cardinal, Fire
Aries is ruled by Mars and is cardinal fire – red hot, impulsive
and ready to go. Aries planets are not known for their patience,
and they ignore obstacles, choosing instead to focus on the
shortest distance between where they are and where they want to be.
Planets in Aries are brave, impetuous, and direct. Aries planets
are often very good at initiating projects. They are not, however,
as eager to finish, so they will leave projects undone.
Aries planets need physical outlets for their considerable Mars-
powered – otherwise their need for action can turn to stress.
Exercise, hard work, and competition are food for Aries energy.
The Moon’s Influence:
The Moon in Aries is bold, impulsive and energetic. It’s a period
when we feel feisty and maybe a little argumentative. This is when
even the meekest aren’t afraid to take a stand to protect personal
feelings.
Since Aries is the first sign, it’s a natural starting point for
all kinds of projects, and it’s also a wonderful time to channel
all that “me first” energy to initiate change and new beginnings.
Just watch out for a tendency to be too impulsive and stress
oriented.
Taurus: Feminine, Fixed, Earth
Taurus, the fixed earth sign, has endless patience that turns your
Taurus planet into a solid force to be reckoned with. Taurus folks
never, ever quit. Their reputation for stubbornness is earned.
They’re responsible, reliable, honest as they come, practical and
endowed with a stick-to-it attitude other planets envy. They’re
not afraid to work hard.
Since Taurus is ruled by Venus, it’s not surprising to find that
these people are sensual and luxury-loving, too. They love to be
spoiled with the best – good food, fine wine, or even a Renior
painting. They need peace and quiet like no other, and don’t like
their schedules to be disrupted. However, they may need a reminder
that comfortable habits can become ruts.
The Moon’s Influence:
The Moon in Taurus is the Lady at her most solid and sensual,
feeling secure and well rooted. There’s no need to stress of hurry
– and definitely no need to change anything.
We tend to resist change when the moon is in this sign, especially
change that’s not of our own making. We’d rather sit still, have a
wonderful dinner, and listen to good music. Appreciating the
beauty of the Earth, watching a sunset, viewing some good art or
taking care of money and other resources are Taurus Moon
activities.
Gemini: Masculine, Mutable, Air
This sign is famous for its duality and love of new experiences,
as well as for its role as communicator. Gemini is mutable air,
which translates into changing your mind, so expect your Gemini
planet to be entertaining and versatile.
This sign knows a little bit about everything. Gemini planets
usually display at least two distinct sides to their
personalities, are changeable, even fickle at times, and
wonderfully curious.
This sign is ruled by Mercury, so if what you’re doing involves
talking, writing, gesturing, or working with eye-hand
coordination, your Gemini planet will love it. Mercury also rules
short trips, so any planet in Gemini is an expert at how to make
its way around the neighborhood in record time.
The Moon’s Influence:
This mutable air sign moves around so quickly that when the Moon
is here we’re a bit more restless than usual. We suddenly feel in
the mood for conversation, puzzles, riddles and word games.
We want two – at least two – of everything. Now is a great time
for letter writing, phone calls or short trips. It’s when you’ll
find the best shortcuts and when you’ll need to take them, too.
Watch for a tendency to become a bit scattered under this fun,
fickle Moon.
Cancer: Feminine, Cardinal and Water
Cancer is cardinal water, so it’s good at beginning things, like
emotions and families. It’s also the most privacy-oriented sign.
Cancer types are emotionally vulnerable, sensitive and easily
hurt. They need safe “nests” to return to when the world gets to
be too much.
Cancer types say “I love you” by tending to your need for food,
warmth, or a place to sleep. The problem is that they can become
needy, dependent, or unable to function unless they feel someone
or something needs them. Cancer rules the home and family. It’s
also in charge of emotions, so expect Cancers to operate “from the
gut” most of the time.
The Moon’s Influence:
The Moon in this cardinal water sign is at her most nurturing, and
her concerns turn to home, family, children and mothers,
expressing our emotions, and being sympathetic and understanding
to others. We often find ourselves in the mood to take care of
someone, to cook for or cuddle our dear ones. During this time,
feelings run high, so it’s important to watch out for becoming
oversensitive, dependant or needy. In all, now is a great time to
putter around the house, have family over and tend to domestic
concerns.
Leo: Masculine, Fixed, Fire
Leo is fixed fire, and above all else he represents pride and ego.
Sun-ruled Leo wants to shine and be noticed. Natural performers,
people in this sign are into drama, and attract attention even
when they don’t necessarily want it.
Occasionally, your Leo friend may be touchy and “high
maintenance.” Still, they are generous to a fault. Leo appreciates
attention and praise with lavish compliments, lovely gifts, and
creative outings designed to amaze and delight. Leo’s specialties
are having fun, entertaining, and making big entrances and exits.
The Moon’s Influence:
When the Moon is in Leo, it’s time for Drama, with a capital D.
This theatrical sign has long been known for its big entrances,
love of display, and need for attention. When the Moon is in this
sign, we’re all feeling a need to be recognized, applauded, and
appreciated.
Now, all that excitement, pride and emotion can turn into
melodrama in the blink of an eye, so it’s best to be careful of
overreacting or being excessively vain during this period. It’s a
great time to take in a show (or star in one), be romantic, or
express your feelings for someone in regal style.
Virgo: Feminine, Mutable, Earth
Virgo is called “picky” and “critical,” but there is another side
to Virgo. More than anything, your Virgo planet delights in
helping, and since it’s a mutable earth sign, it’s willing to
adapt to any task.
Although it’s true that Virgo is born with an automatic fault-
finder, it’s Mercury-ruled like Gemini, and it’s the sign with the
keenest eye of all the details. Your Virgo planet is good at
details and fixing things – a troubleshooter extraordinaire.
This sign needs to exercise discrimination because that’s its job
– to analyze, critique, and suggest remedies to potential
problems. This sign is also wonderful at lists, agendas, and
schedules. Keep your Virgo planet happy by keeping it busy.
The Moon’s Influence:
Here is the Moon at her most discriminating. This is the most
detail-oriented sign out there, the sign most concerned with
fixing, fussing, and tending to. This Moon sign puts us in the
mood to clean, scour, sort, troubleshoot, and help.
Virgo is the most helpful of all the signs, ready to take up a
broom, mop, or gardening tool and offer her assistance. Now is
when we’re more health conscious, work oriented and duty bound,
too, so this is a great period during which to pay attention to
our diet, hygiene and daily schedules.

| Choosing what is Right over what is Easy |
Libra: Masculine, Cardinal, Air
Libra is the sign that’s affiliated with balance and harmony. Both
balance and harmony require all parts of an entity to give and
take equality. No easy task. But no sign is more charming and
social, or more able to coax the same qualities out of another.
Libra is cardinal air, so it wants to start something that’s
intellectual in nature, like a conversation. Venus-ruled Libra
planets are experts at behavior that is pleasing to others, so
they specialize in manners, courtesy, and small talk.
They don’t want to be alone, and because they’re gifted with the
ability to pacify, they may sell out their own needs or the truth
to buy peace and companionship. Their real work is to see both
sides of a situation, weigh the options, and keep their inner
balance by remaining honest.
The Moon’s Influence:
The Moon is most oriented toward relationships and partnerships
when she is in Libra. Since Libra’s job is to restore balance,
however, you may find yourself in situations of emotional
imbalance that require a delicate tap of the scales to set them
right.
In general, this is a social, polite, and friendly time, when
others will be cooperative and agree more easily to compromise. A
Libra Moon prompts us to make our surroundings beautiful, or to
put ourselves in situations where beauty is all around us. This is
a great time to decorate, shop for the home, or visit places of
elegant beauty.
Scorpio: Feminine, Fixed, Water
Planets in this sign are detectives, excelling at the art of
strategy. Your Scorpio planets sift through every situation for
subtle clues, then they analyze clues to determine what’s really
going on.
They’re also gifted at sending subtle signals back to the
environment, and at imperceptibly altering a situation by
manipulating it with the right word or movement.
Scorpio planets are constantly searching for intimacy. They seek
intensity and may be crisis-oriented. They can be relentless,
obsessive, and jealous. Remember, this is fixed water. Scorpio
feels things deeply and forever. Give your Scorpio planets the
opportunity to fire-walk, to experience life-and-death situations.
The Moon’s Influence:
Scorpio is the most intense sign, and when the Moon is here she
feels everything to the “nth” degree – and needless to say, we do,
too.
Passion, joy, jealously, betrayal, love and desire can take center
stage in our lives now, as our emotions deepen to the point of
possible obsession. Be careful of a tendency to become secretive,
suspicious, or to brood over an offense that was not intended.
Now is a great time to investigate a mystery, do research, “dig” –
both figuratively and literally – and allow ourselves to become
close to someone else.
Sagittarius: Masculine, Mutable, Fire
The enthusiasm of this mutable fire sign, ruled by Jupiter,
spreads like a brush fire. These planets tend to never feel
satisfied or content, and to always wonder if there’s something
even more wonderful over the next mountain.
Your Sagittarius planets are bored by routine; they’re freedom-
oriented, generous, and optimistic to a fault. They can be
excessive and overindulgent. They adore foreign places and foreign
people, and outdoor activities, and learn by first having the big
picture explained.
They’re only too happy to preach, advertise, and philosophize.
Sagittarius planets can be quite prophetic, and they absolutely
believe in the power of laughter – embarrassing themselves at
times to make someone laugh.
The Moon’s Influence:
Here is the Moon at her most optimistic. Now is a time when we’ll
be more likely to shrug things off, let them go, and laugh about
them.
Of course, Jupiter is also the planet of long-distance travel and
education of the higher mind, making this a great time to take off
for a two-day adventure or take a seminar on a topic you’ve always
been interested in – say, philosophy or religion. This is the sign
with the gift of prophesy, and a love for collecting knowledge,
experiences, and wisdom.
When the Moon is in this sign, spend time outdoors, be spontaneous
and laugh much too loudly; just watch for a tendency toward
excess, waste, and overdoing.
Capricorn: Feminine, Cardinal, Earth
Capricorn planets, ruled by Saturn, have a tendency to build
things, erecting structures and creating a career for you. They
will start up an organization and turn it into the family
business.
These planets automatically know how to run “It,” no matter what
“It” is. They’re authority figures. They exercise caution and
discipline, set down rules and live by them.
Capricorn is the sign with the driest wit. Here’s where your sense
of propriety and tradition will be strong, where doing things the
old-fashioned way and paying respect to the elders will be the
only way to go. They want a return for the time they invest and
don’t mind proving how valuable they are.
The Moon’s Influence:
The Moon is at her most organized, practical, and businesslike in
Capricorn. Here, she brings out the dutiful, cautious, and
pessimistic side in all of us. We prefer to work rather than play.
Our goals for the future become all-important.
Now is the time to tend to the family business, act responsibly,
take charge of something, or organize any part of our lives that’s
become scattered or disrupted. Now, too, is the time to set down
rules and guidelines, to sit patiently, listen, and learn. Watch
for the possibility of acting too businesslike at the expense of
others’ emotions.
Aquarius: Masculine, Fixed, Air
This sign, ruled by the planet Uranus, brings us the
unpredictable. It’s always ready to shock and amaze the masses and
rebel against what others are doing.
Planets in this sign are into personal freedom like no other. They
create their own rules, fight city hall whenever possible, and
deliberately break tradition. They adore change. Abrupt reversals
are their specialty, so others often perceive them as erratic,
unstable or unreliable energies.
As changeable as it seems to be, Aquarius is a fixed air sign, so
when it commits to a cause or to an intellectual ideal, it’s
really committed. Aquarian planets are often much better at
friendship than love – they value being with like-minded folks.
The Moon’s Influence:
An Aquarius Moon brings out the rebel in all of us. It’s a time
when we’re prone to extremes and abrupt actions – ready to break
out of our ruts, to try something different, and to make sure
everyone sees us for the unique individuals we are.
This sign is ruled by Uranus, so personal freedom and
individuality are more important than anything now. Our schedules
become topsy-turvy, and our causes become urgent. Watch for a
tendency to become fanatical, act deliberately rebellious without
a reason, or break tradition just for the sake of breaking it.
Pisces: Feminine, Mutable, Water
Mutable Pisces can’t separate itself emotionally from whatever
it’s exposed to. While this is the source of Pisces’ well-deserved
reputation for compassion, it’s also the source of your desire to
escape reality.
Planets in this sign feel everything – for better or for worse, so
they need time alone to unload and reassemble themselves. Exposure
to others, especially in crowds, is exhausting to your Pisces
planets. Here is where you may have a tendency to take in stray
people and animals and where you’ll need to watch for the
possibility of being victimized or taken advantage of in some way.
Pisces planets see the best in a person or situation, and when
reality steps in, they sometimes can be disappointed. These
planets are the romantics of the zodiac. Let them dream in healthy
ways.
The Moon’s Influence:
This sign belongs to the planet Neptune, the ruler of altered
states of reality. When the Moon slips into this sign, sleep,
meditation, prayer, or other forms of escape are what we crave –
whatever induces a trancelike state that will allow us to escape
from the harshness of reality. She sets out to woo us, to cast a
spell upon us, and convince us that everything’s all right.
Now is when we’re most susceptible to emotional assaults of any
kind, when we’re feeling “fuzzy”, dreamy, nostalgic, wistful, or
impressionable. Now, too, is when we’re at our most spiritual,
when our boundaries are at their lowest, when we’re more
compassionate, intuitive, and sensitive to those less fortunate.
This is the time to attend a spiritual group or religious
gathering.
