Mixed Day

A mixed day is one in which two or more influences effect the quality of the day making some times better than others. Today begins with a void-of-course moon until 1:02 PM eastern time when she moves into Capricorn. During the early hours while the moon is void, delay new initiatives and important decisions. This time is best used for routine activities and inner work. Once the moon moves into Capricorn, projects proceed slowly and some delay is likely. As Mercury finally completes two challenging alignments with Pluto and Mars, disagreements are resolved and it is possible to find common ground. You can make progress by agreeing to disagree. www.astroinsights.com

Neutral Day

Neutral refers to a day in which there is little energy available to gain momentum for new initiatives to take hold, so it's best to delay taking action for a while. Today the moon is void-of-course for the entire day, so important decisions and new endeavors should be put on hold. This is a better time to work on creative projects, pursue inner development and inspirational interests. A number of challenging alignments will finally culminate today and tomorrow. Mercury, in a challenging alignment with Mars, increases the likelihood of hasty decisions, and Mars square to Pluto brings anger to the surface. By mid-week, all is well, meanwhile breathe deeply, avoid confrontation and bide your time.

MIxed Day

The day begins with a void-of-course moon until 12:38 PM eastern time when she moves into Sagittarius. While the moon is void, there is not enough momentum to enable projects to take hold so it is best to delay new initiatives for the time being. Once the moon moves into Sagittarius, grand and creative ideas abound but may not be practical when put to the test. However, don't give up and keep experimenting until you succeed because this is a time when well-thought-out innovative concepts can materialize. www.astroinsights.com

Good Day

The moon remains in Scorpio, sign if renewal, so this is a good time to clean house so to speak. Get rid of things no longer needed and refresh or refurbish your surroundings. This is a time when problems may surface but if you are willing to confront them head on, the outcome can be quite positive. Mercury and the Sun are conjunct and both are in a challenging alignment with Uranus, planet of unexpected happenings. At the same time, Mars is in a challenging alignment with Pluto. These rather difficult combinations are in effect for the next few days so if you find yourself in a tense situation, avoid confrontation. www.astroinsights.com

Mixed Day

The moon is void-of-course until 9:00 AM eastern time then moves into Scorpio. While the moon is in Scorpio, projects that involve investigative research are favored. This is a time when you can work behind the scenes and avoid attracting attention. With a little effort you can spend less and get more for your money. Mercury and the Sun are close together so expect to hear some important news that concerns everyone. Perhaps legislators will surprise us with announcements of a positive nature. www.astroinsights.com

Challenging Day

The moon is in Libra, sign of relationships so this is a time when people like to be with one another. While the moon is Libra we are encouraged to find harmony and balance in all things. However, as the Sun forms a challenging alignment with Uranus, those in leadership roles appear to disagree on just about everything creating an atmosphere of controversy. This alignment does favor new, innovative and unusual approaches to solving old problems so those who are willing to step outside their comfort zone have an opportunity to make their case. www.astroinsights.com

Mixed Day

A mixed day is one in which more than one influence is in effect making certain times of the day better than others. Today begins with a void-of-course moon until she moves into Virgo later this afternoon. While the moon is void, practical matters should be put on hold for a while. This is a time when you may be inspired to new heights artistically and creatively. Once the moon moves into Virgo, pay attention to details. As the moon aligns with Neptune later on, it is easy to overlook an important statistic. Before moving forward, make sure everyone understands your intentions. excerpt from: 2014 Astrology Planning Guide now in the iTunes and Google Play app stores

The moon remains in Leo and the Sun moves into Capricorn marking the winter solstice. As the sun travels through the earthy sign of Capricorn, the focus is on career, professional goals and status. This is a time when achievement is rewarded. Venus turns retrograde today and remains so for the next six weeks. Relationships and finances, both ruled by Venus, come under review. If you find yourself wondering whether the people you're involved with are worth the effort, some pruning may be necessary. www.astroinsights.com

Friday, December 20, 2013

Variable Day

Variable refers to a changing environment which often involves the substitution of someone or something in order to proceed with your plans. For instance, it may be necessary to shift gears if funding falls through. But this is a time when success follows those who are willing to step outside their comfort zone. New and innovative ideas can take hold so try something never done before. www.astroinsights.com

Thursday, December 19, 2013

Challenging Day

The moon remains in Cancer extending yesterday's influence. Relationships are tested in this climate of emotional highs and lows. If you're planning a new initiative, it's best to wait until things settle down, but if you have to proceed now, expect to give more than you get. As with all compromise, no one is completely satisfied. Venus will turn retrograde on Saturday and remain so for several weeks, during which time both financial and relationship matters come under review. More on Venus retrograde later. www.astroinsights.com

Wednesday, December 18, 2013

Challenging Day

A challenging day is one in which you run into obstacles that inhibit your ability to succeed with new initiatives. The moon has moved into Cancer where family matters and financial security take center stage. Disagreements are likely, so a strong hand is needed to reach a compromise that everyone can live with. While the moon is in Cancer, expect emotional highs and lows but this is a good time to review personal and business finances, cut wasteful spending, and implement new guidelines. www.astroinsights.com

Tuesday, December 17, 2013

Mixed Day

The day begins with a void-of-course moon until 1:17 PM eastern time when she moves into Cancer. While the moon is void, delay new initiatives and final decisions for the time being. The predawn full moon in a challenging alignment with Venus is indicative of unexpected shifts in relationships and finances. People are uncertain, and tend to react with emotions rather than logic. Moreover, Mars continues to be in a challenging alignment with Uranus, planet of reversals and sudden change. So for the better part of the day, proceed with caution and be prepared to shift gears when necessary. www.astroinsights.com

Chalenging Day

Electional astrology, the astrology of timing, is all about giving you an edge when it comes to initiating or launching a new project. Some days are simply better than others and a challenging day is one in which it is difficult to have a positive outcome. At the moment, the moon in Gemini is in a stressful alignment with Mercury and is approaching an opposition to the Sun - full moon. During this time, we are prone to mistakes because information is misunderstood, misleading or incomplete. This is a better time to resolve conflicts and review details rather than to make a final decision. www.astroinsights.com
