Good Day

The moon has moved into Libra, sign of compromise and fair play. A climate of change dominates and it is now possible to implement sweeping reforms if everyone works together. This is a good time to improve upon an existing project, but keep in mind that an atmosphere of breakdown and renewal is in play over the long term. As Mercury continues in retrograde motion, you can go back to something tried before, give it new life and try again. Mercury turns direct on November 10, at 4:12 PM eastern time. www.astroinsights.com

Variable Day

The moon is in the practical sign of Virgo today, so this is a good time to take care of routine matters. Virgo, like Gemini, is ruled by Mercury, and is supportive of tasks that require discrimination and critical analysis. While Mercury is retrograde, consider revisions and improvements to projects already under way. If you're struggling with a decision, make sure you have all the facts and if possible, delay the signing of legal documents until Mercury turns direct on November 10th. www.astroingishts.com

Neutral Day

Neutral refers to a day that lacks sufficient momentum to get something started. The moon is void-of-course for the entire day making it an unfavorable time to launch a new project. Moreover, information received during this time is often incomplete or inaccurate, so keep that in mind when making an important decision. This is a favorable time to turn inward, meditate or partake in other forms of spiritual practices. www.astroinsights.com

Variable Day

The moon has moved into Leo, sign of creativity and prominence. If you want to attract attention, this is a good time to hold a public function. During the early part of the day, you can expects some delays in getting things going but later on, as the moon aligns favorably with Venus, it's party time. Mercury is now retrograde in the sign of Scorpio, indicative of the need to overhaul or rework a project already underway. Delay new initiatives until Mercury turns direct. www.astroinsights.com

Mixed Day

The moon remains in Cancer extending yesterday's influence until she turns void-of-course at 3:32 PM eastern time. The sun in a favorable alignment with Neptune, encourages all creative projects. Have confidence in your ideas because they can and will attract favorable support. Influential people and those in a position to open doors, will help. Take action before the moon turns void. She will remain void until late tomorrow morning. www.astroinsights.com

Thursday, October 24, 2013

Good Day

The moon has moved into its natural sign of Cancer, its most sensitive position. Intuition is strong and feelings will guide you today. Both the moon and sun are in a positive alignment with Neptune, which holds sway over intangible forces. This is a favorable time for spiritual practices and inner development. It is also a time when thoughts turn to the arts and all kinds of creative projects. Since we are in a Mercury retrograde cycle, this is an opportune time to go back to something tried before, make changes and/or improvements and give it new life. Mercury retrograde offers us the opportunity to "think about it again." Once Mercury turns direct (November 11) you can go forward. Meanwhile, spend the next three weeks doing the research.

Neutral Day

Neutral refers to a day in which the moon is void-of-course all day. This means the moon is making no applying aspects to other planets, and is therefore wandering. On such days, it is advisable to delay the launch of new projects because there is little momentum and as a consequence your project may not succeed or ever develop. Moreover, decisions made while the moon is void may never be acted upon. This time is best used for personal or creative interests. www.astroinsights.com

Challenging Day

The moon remains in Gemini, sign of communication and the exchange of ideas. But while Mercury is retrograde, the free flow of information becomes bogged down, and often communications equipment fails. This is a time when revisions are needed, contracts and agreements are reviewed and changes made. If possible, delay the signing of important documents, contracts and agreements until Mercury turns direct on November 11th. Early tomorrow morning the Sun moves into Scorpio. This is a time when research and investigation can lead to new discoveries. Focus on making needed changes in the coming weeks then launch your project once Mercury turns direct.

Mercury Retrograde

Mercury is retrograde until November 11. Please see my post of May 4th for details on this cycle.

Monday, October 21, 2013

Mixed Day

The day begins with a void-of-course moon until 11:15 AM eastern time when she moves into Gemini. While the moon is in Gemini she will form challenging alignments to both Neptune and Mars, making this a time of confusion and overall disagreements. Moreover, Mercury turns retrograde this morning and will remain so for approximately three weeks. During this cycle, delay the signing of legal documents and agreements. This is a time when it becomes necessary to make sure all information is clear and accurate because misunderstandings are common. www.astroinsights.com

Sunday, October 20, 2013

Good Day

While the moon is in Taurus, people may be thinking about financial security, investments and other assets. This is a good time to add to your collectibles, attend an auction or go shopping. Mercury turns retrograde tomorrow morning, so take time during the next three weeks, to review and revise projects already under way. This is the time to make changes and improvements where needed, but not to initiate something new. Moreover, delay the signing of legal documents until Mercury turns direct. For more on this cycle, see my blog www.goodaysastrologyguide.blogspot.com, May 4, 2013 posting.

Variable Day

Variable refers to a changing environment in which the outcome is uncertain, however you have a certain amount of leeway to bring about a favorable outcome. The moon has moved into Taurus, sign of determination and persistence. This is a strong position for the moon because it lends emotional stability. This is a good time to lay the groundwork for future projects. As Mars completes a challenging alignment with Neptune this evening (eastern time), confusion dissipates and you should be able to move forward with your plans. However, Mercury is slowing down and will turn retrograde on Monday, so get it done now if you can. www.astroinsights.com

Friday, October 18, 2013

Challenging Day

Today's lunar eclipse in Aries ushers in a strong desire for change and the need to find new ways to resolve differences. A full moon eclipse brings emotions to the surface, and this is a time when everyone has strong opinions. At the moment Mars is in a challenging alignment with Neptune so make certain your information is accurate before committing to anything. That said, this is a good time to work the problem, but wait for a better day to initiate something new. www.astroinsights.com

Thursday, October 17, 2013

Challenging Day

The moon has moved into Aries, sign of new beginnings. Though many want to rush forward and resolve problems, it is prudent to form alliances and bring people together before going ahead with your plans. Tomorrow's full moon eclipse in Aries sets the tone for the next few months and emphasizes the need to work with others for the benefit of all. At the moment, the climate is one of uncertainty and confusion so it is prudent to clarify objectives before taking action. www.astroinsights.com

Neutral Day

Today is classified as neutral because the moon is void-of-course all day. This means that the moon is wandering, in other words making no aspects or alignments to another celestial body. This is an ideal time for activities that rely more on the intuitive and creative channels, such as spiritual practices or artistic endeavors. In my own experience, new insights flow forth easily while the moon is void, so turn off all sources of news, breathe deeply and connect with your source. www.astroinsights.com

Best Day

Today is a "Best Day" which occurs rarely and is given this evaluation only when both planetary and moon alignments are all positive, supportive of whatever you are planning to do. Mars has moved into Virgo, sign of service, and the moon is in Pisces, sign of compassion. Together these influences certainly suggest that it is now possible for people to come together and resolve their differences. Both on the world stage and in your personal lives, sincere negotiations result in a positive outcome. Make the best of this day. www.astroinsights.com

Friday, October 11, 2013

Variable Day

On a variable day, circumstances are changing so it's always a good idea to have a backup plan. The moon remains in Capricorn lending a serious tone to all negotiations and progress is slow. If you're planning a new initiative at this time, it will require patience, hard work and a long-term commitment. Moreover, exaggerated expectations cannot be met and you may feel dissatisfied with the outcome. The moon turns void-of-course this evening at 7:05 PM eastern time and remains so until tomorrow afternoon. www.astroinsights.com

Thursday, October 10, 2013

Mixed Day

The day begins with a void-of-course moon until 10:18 AM eastern time then she moves into Capricorn setting a serious tone for the next two days. This is the time to get down to business, and good organization, determination and planning are important elements for success. Fair play is the name of the game right now, so it's necessary to follow the rules. As long as you take the time to do it right, you can make significant progress, but no short cuts. www.astroinsights.com

Good Day

While the moon is in Sagittarius the mood is optimistic though we may feel restless and eager for new adventures. In fact, this is a good time to travel, expand horizons or explore new opportunities. Sagittarius is ruled by Jupiter, planet of abundance, growth and the higher mind, making this an ideal time to begin new studies. While Venus is in a challenging alignment with Neptune, loved ones may seem somewhat elusive and misunderstandings are likely. This will pass soon enough; meanwhile make every effort to say what you mean. www.astroinsights.com

Tuesday, October 8, 2013

Good Day

The moon has moved into Sagittarius reflecting a shift in climate to a more optimistic and expansive attitude. People are open to new ideas, exploration, travel and self-improvement. This is a favorable time to undertake new studies or to host a seminar. The moon is with Venus for much of the day so this is a very nice time to launch a creative endeavor such as writing, decorating, or any artistic interest. While Mercury and Saturn align in Scorpio today, expect to hear the voices of doom and gloom, but this should subside in the next day or two. Meanwhile, keep a positive mind. www.astroinsights.com

Monday, October 7, 2013

Challenging Day

The moon has moved into Scorpio, the sign of secret negotiations and behind the scenes activities. That could very well describe the climate in our nation's capital but it applies equally in your personal lives at this time. This is a day when private negotiations are the best way to proceed. As the Moon, Mercury and Saturn all align in Scorpio, talks take on a serious tone. Moreover, this combination of planets in Scorpio reflects the sense of urgency and intensity felt by all. Progress will most likely be delayed until the middle of the week when Mercury and the moon have moved past Saturn, planet of delay. www.astroinsights.com

Procrastination and TIming

When we procrastinate, it is always our inner, intuitive guidance telling us - no not yet, this is not the right time to do this, say that, or go there. We are the creators of our experience and when we are feeling happy, it is easy to hear this inner guidance and to manifest whatever it is that we want. But most of us are not always in a receptive mode, and that is where astrology can help because we can see what the climate is like on any given day and plan accordingly. Whoever coined the phrase “timing is everything” was in tune with their inner guidance and with the cosmos. wwwastroinsights.com

Saturday, October 5, 2013

Mixed Day

The day begins with the Moon in Libra, sign of harmony and compromise, encouraging everyone to work together. This is a good time to gather with others, share mutual interests and exchange ideas. Both social and public functions benefit from the moon in Libra. This is also the favored moon sign for marriage. The moon turns void-of-course by 5:28 PM eastern time and remains so until very early tomorrow morning. While the moon is void, postpone new initiatives for the time being. www.astroinsights.com

Friday, October 4, 2013

Challenging Day

The new moon in Libra occurs later today at 7:35 PM eastern time. Right before the new moon energy and resources are diminished. Though the new moon is associated with new beginnings, it is best to wait a day until the moon has moved further from the sun and begins to gain momentum. The tone set for the coming weeks is one of harmony, balance and compromise, but right now, cooperation is difficult to come by as the moon forms challenging alignments with both Pluto and Uranus. By tomorrow, squabbling dies down and everyone seems more willing to work together. www.astroinsights.com

Thursday, October 3, 2013

Mixed Day

The moon remains in Virgo for most of the day and then turns void-of-course at 2:57 PM eastern time. While the moon is void, postpone new initiatives for awhile because there is not enough momentum to support expansion. Meanwhile Sun oppose Uranus, which reflects disharmony and lack of unity, culminates today so hopefully we will see some progress in the direction of compromise. Tomorrow's new moon in Libra, sign of compromise, lends support to the process and sets the tone for the coming two weeks. During this time teamwork is essential. www.astroinsights.com

Wednesday, October 2, 2013

Good Day

The moon has moved into Virgo, sign of work, service and health-related matters. While the moon is in this sign, people tend to be discriminating and overly critical but intellectual endeavors are favored. Projects that help others or provide a service can do very well in this climate. The Sun remains in a challenging alignment with Uranus but this will culminate early tomorrow morning offering the possibility of a breakthrough in negotiations. Both on a personal level and on the world stage, we can find unique ways to resolve differences. www.astroinsights.com

Tuesday, October 1, 2013

Mixed Day

The day begins with a void-of-course moon until 1:53 PM eastern time when she moves into Virgo. While the moon is void, delay new initiatives for awhile. Two planetary cycles now in effect contribute to a climate of instability - Sun in a challenging alignment with Pluto and Uranus. For the moment, it is difficult to find common ground but this climate will shift by mid-week and a breakthrough is likely. Meanwhile Mercury remains in a favorable alignment with Neptune, bringing creative ideas within reach. Keep your notebook handy and write down your thoughts. www.astroinsights.com
