Still healing from my injury 2 months ago but here is your weekly Lunar heads up for the week my lovelies........
THIS WEEK UNDER THE MOON
For the week of Sept. 6 to Sept. 12
Sunday: the Moon is in Gemini
Visiting, either in person or via social media (including the telephone), is front & center. Moon in Gemini along with Mercury (communication) in Libra (another very social sign) and two other planets (Venus & Mars) in Leo will make this a weekend wonderfully devoted to interaction of some kind.
Monday, Tuesday: the Moon is in Cancer
This is the Moon's home base sign and consequently you might feel like being around your home more these two days as well. This sign also rules (is associated with) comfort foods, especially those that are creamy in nature, and you may feel like eating more of those foods right now. Examples include: ice cream, yogurt, pudding, mashed potatoes, macaroni & cheese, etc.
Wednesday, Thursday, Friday am: the Moon is in Leo
Because the sign Leo rules royalty, treat yourself as such when the Moon is in this location. Wear clothing in colors that are in your best-looks category, if you wear jewelry - gold is the metal connected to Leo, eat food that is fit for a monarch, etc.
Friday pm, Saturday: the Moon is in Virgo
Mercury, the planet that is linked with the sign Virgo, will be going retrograde (slowing down its revolutionary speed - see below**) later next week. Gathering, sorting, and organizing information comes under the heading of Virgo so it would be good to get a lot of that done before this retrograde period starts. Things can often become muddled or confused during this time.
Check your astrology chart to find which house (section of your chart) has the current Moon sign on the cusp (the beginning edge) & apply forecast information to that area of your life as well.
For example, the Moon is in Leo and one of the suggestions is to entertain - however Leo is located in the 12th house of your chart, which is an inward energy place...then have a small, quiet gathering. By contrast, if Leo is located in the 1st house of your chart, an outward energy place...have a party!
It is interesting to note when the current Moon is in the same sign as your birth Moon and to see how the flavor of that day carries through the following 30 days.
Current Planet Positions:
Sun - Virgo until Sept. 23
Mercury - Libra until Nov. 2
(**retrograde Sept. 17 - Oct. 9)
Venus - Leo until Oct. 9
Mars - Leo until Sept. 25
Jupiter - Virgo until Sept. 9, 2016
Saturn - Scorpio until Sept. 18

Ceres - Capricorn until Oct. 28
Pallas - Sagittarius until Nov. 1
Juno - Virgo until Sept. 18
Vesta - Aries until Mar. 9, 2016
Chiron - Pisces until Apr. 22, 2018
(Chiron usually stays in one sign for about a little over two years, very similar to Saturn's travels. However this time it is making an extended visit to a sign.)
Current Asteroid Transits:
Ceres - Achievement and responsibility are prevalent.
Pallas - Expand your knowledge & skills with resources not considered before.
Juno - Examine what is on your to-do list that pertains to your personal care.
Vesta - Seek out activities that relate to your basic belief system.
Chiron - Transcend wounds and negativity through compassion.
Note: Timeframes for Moon signs, void-of-course periods, and current planet & asteroid positions are noted for Eastern time zone (USA). Please adjust according to your own location. Times are not given if the void-of-course Moon occurs for a very short period or if it occurs during the night (based on same Eastern time zone).
* v/c = Void-of-Course - When the Moon is void-of-course, spend time working on projects already in progress, creative endeavors, or self-improvement. Void-of-course simply means that no planets are aspecting the Moon as it gets ready to change signs; there won't be a configuration of astro energy available to utilize. It's best not to start new projects, sign important agreements, or go shopping when the Moon is void-of-course because the result will probably be unsatisfactory in some way.
A NEW MOON SOLAR ECLIPSE will occur on Sunday, September 13, 2015, at 2:41 AM EDT.
A New Moon Solar Eclipse will occur in the sign of Virgo early into the day on Sunday, September 13th. Its effects can be felt up to six months after the actual date of the eclipse. In the sign of Virgo, work and health matters will be a major focus on a personal level. This eclipse is about new beginnings regarding work, attention to details, fitness, health regimes, and daily routines. This is a time when we should build our powers of healthy, constructive discrimination; learn to be more pro-active; start a new health and fitness routine; set up specific routines that will help us manage our lives in positive, mindful ways; and learn the "power of now" and of mindfulness. This is a time when we can learn to master the "little" details of our day-to-day lives in a more organized manner so that we can free our minds of clutter. For some of us, circumstances are such that we need to pay more attention to our work and health routines.
Flaws in an important system in our lives are revealed around the time of the eclipse, prompting us to redo or to start fresh. We may find ourselves completely re-working this area of life. Virgo rules awareness of the body, making full use of resources, attention to details, organization, self-preservation skills, order, and critical analysis. Virgo sees flaws in systems, whether those systems are our daily routines, the methods we work with on the job, or our bodies. Striving for perfection can be a wonderful challenge, as long as we don't allow ourselves to become overly focused on flaws and feel guilty or stressed about them. This is where Pisces, Virgo's opposing sign, comes in to help. Compassion, and finding beauty in imperfection, is our path to balancing this energy...Read more about this Solar Eclipse.
This phase of the Moon occurs at 20 degrees and 10 minutes of Virgo, affecting people born with personal planets and points at 15 to 25 degrees of the mutable signs (Gemini, Virgo, Sagittarius, and Pisces) most significantly.
