The Moon in the Signs
As the moon moves through each of the signs every two and a bit days it shifts and shapes the energy of how we express ourselves at a soul level. The moon’s nurturing, feeling and emotional energy is influenced by the energy of the sign it is in, and this sign’s ruling planet. The moon naturally governs our home life, family, childhood and nurturing side. Most of the time we’ll find that we base our decisions within the home and for our family on our feelings, this can come from maternal and protective instincts and also from accumulated emotional experiences. Our emotional self and feminine side changes and shifts in attitude every couple of days, this is why we might feel down and out for a while and then find renewed ambition seemingly from nowhere. If we are aware of the general mood of the population for the day, we shouldn’t be surprised by the success of activities that are agreeable to the moon’s energy. There are also opposite results for activities in opposition to the moon’s current energy. For example it wouldn’t be beneficial to arrange a board meeting to settle a dispute, or address relationship issues if the moon is in Aries and everyone has an energy boost in the direction of what they want ! So in effect, by being aware of which sign the moon is present in and what this generally means, we have the opportunity to bring harmony into all affairs within our life – remember each of the twelve areas of our life becomes apparent and demands attention for a couple of days each month.
Listed below is a glimpse of the turns your life will take as the moon moves through the twelve signs of the zodiac each month.
Moon in Aries
This is the time to start any new venture in life. This is an active period with impulsive energy. If you have a creative idea on the back-burner now is the time to get the ball rolling. You’ll find increased physical energy and bold determination to face up to any challenges, old or new. People could be impressed by your ability to act on things, but there could be emotional outbursts and a lack of patience.
Moon in Taurus
This is the time to work towards securing financial assets. Long hours on the job, going over the particulars of details and plans. Take your feelings of calmness and patience home to your family so they realize your extra efforts are for their benefit too. People’s needs are different to the seriousness of your job. Find comfort in stable routines and take time out for sensual pleasures and comforts.
Moon in Gemini
Time for a little excitement now, perhaps enjoying the freedom of a detour along the way, even mentally, a chance meeting could bring something new. You may feel the urge to express yourself in some way. Write your story, paint a picture - all sorts are acceptable, or finish an old project. There’s a need to do something different to bring new information. You’ll be thinking faster, feeling playful and alert with increased dexterity for manual skills. Don’t be too quick to commit yourself emotionally to new situations.
Moon in Cancer
This is when you need the comfort of familiar surroundings and peaceful nurturing company. A time for family based activities. You could find yourself reminiscing over old photos, memories and friends. If you are alone or didn’t have a nuturing environment as a child you may fall into a bout of self-pity, we’re all feeling extra sensitive and you may think you’re better off alone. You aren’t ! Ring an old friend or family member you really click with.
Moon in Leo
Feeling more outgoing and ready to party. Bringing extravagance and leisure , paving the way to successful social situations.

Moon in Virgo
The perfectionist emerges, personal and business efficiency will allow more time for what – more work ? How about health matters ? You need to be healthy to wotk properly ? If you need to catch up with study, household chores, assess your physical fitness and health routines now is the time. Some may tend to critical judgement of other’s skills and abilities – lucky we’re not all good at the same thing. Don’t stress about other people’s opinions or expectations, work toward your own higher standard.
Moon in Libra
Feeling more socially refined now. Diplomatic and gracious within our relationships, it’s a good time to smooth relations with associates and negotiate agreements. Beware of acting to please and neglecting yourself. Your ideas and decisions don’t always need someone else’s approval. Agreement and cooperation brings smooth relationships. Love and consideration prevails. Don’t be too independent, others may want to help you ! Take time to beautify your surroundings and enjoy the arts.
Moon in Scorpio
People could be a little secretive now, protecting themselves and their own sense of self-control. There could be extreme emotional expression. You could feel disturbed by soul-searching thoughts. You could impulsively sell sentimental items to finance a new investment. You could wonder why you need all this material ‘stuff’ – you’re on your spiritual path. There could be subtle domination, perhaps through sexual attraction. Mysterious and invisible energy could increase excitement. Express your spiritual and physical passion with love and kindness.
Moon in Sagittarius
Time to think big and expand your horizons. Feeling the need for adventure you might travel, meet people from other cultures, take up a course on philosophy or explore different religious beliefs. You could feel impatient with old ideals and unimaginative people, though there is a sense of general optimism, freedom and joy. A ball of restless energy full of questions and feeding on new knowledge. Release some of your energy on outdoor activities.
Moon in Capricorn
This is the time to consider the results of our actions in both career and personally. You could feel it’s important to gain honour through career achievements. What’s at the top of the ladder ? And what comes after it ? There’s an emotional feel to material matters. Sometimes there’s too many rules and limitations, and life seems to only give you what you have earned. There could be a tendancy to over achieve in order to gain material wealth to compensate for self-worth issues. Remember your lessons and use compassionate authority for the benefit of others.
Moon in Aquarius
This is a time for social gatherings and tossing around brilliant ideas for humanity and a better world. As curiosity peaks you could find unusual interests appealing. You may expect freedom for emotional expression, and within your domestic life. You could meet new people who inspire new ideas or compound the importance of your own, but think things over a couple of times before you act or speak because there is a tendancy to overlook the facts and lean towards unrealistic ideals.
Moon in Pisces
This is a peaceful but sensitive time when we could find ourselves in a dreamy mood and sensitive to other people’s thoughts and emotions. Inner secrets and things that are usually hidden could be revealed. Insights and intuition could come out of the blue. Take time to smell the roses and delve into your spiritual side. Care for others in need and use your imagination to create the physical form of your spiritual insight through dance, art or song.
