Welcome to Moonscopes, featuring weekly horoscopes from the lunar point of view. The Moon travels through each astrological sign in about two and one-half days. Therefore, no matter what your sun sign is, we all experience the rhythms of the Moon on a regular basis. The Moon's travel timespan makes it the most logical planet on which to base a daily horoscope.This Week's Moonscopes
For the week
of May 13 to May 19
(Missed last
week's forecast? Here it
is.)
Sunday, Monday, Tuesday:
the Moon is in Pisces
This is the sign that dissolves
boundaries, anything that separates or divides us from all of the
"other" outside of ourselves. The down side of Piscean energy is the
possibility of becoming absorbed in or by just about everything. This then can
trigger a need to escape (a Pisces word). While escape is ok from one
perspective and we all sure need to do it from time to time, letting an escape
become an addiction can also happen. The house in your chart that has Pisces on
the cusp shows what could easily become your escape mechanism. The up side of
this energy rules meditation, prayer, deep introspection, etc. - valuable at any
time but especially during Moon in Pisces. Another up side is imagination, the
creative part of us that we may have put away as a child. Moon in Pisces is a
good time to bring it back into your life.
Wednesday, Thursday: the Moon is in Aries
Impulsive, rash, volatile - three descriptive
words for Aries. While these energies can certainly appear when this sign is
accented, let's look at three more words that are attached to Aries - action,
courage, catalyst. When you want to get something started, call on this sign's
energy. If you want someone to boldly step up to the plate and face a challenge,
find a person with Aries dominant in their chart and approach them when the Moon
is in this sign. However, keep in mind that Aries rules ideas and beginnings. It
won't be around for the follow-through.
Friday, Saturday: the Moon is in Taurus
Ok, so here's where follow-through comes into
play. This sign is tailor-made for that concept. Whereas Aries is spontaneous
and initiating, Taurus is cautious and determined. It wants things to be
completed and completed in the most practical way. Reality is what matters to
Taurus. Ideas are fine but give me something to work with, something to develop
fully, something that I can actually use one of my senses on - that would be a
typical Taurus energy response.
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! Don't have an

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.

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. 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.
** Mercury Retrograde - the speed of the
planet slows down considerably. Communications, paperwork, electronics, traffic and
mail can become very mixed-up, delayed, or go
on the 'fritz' during this time. A
situation will be in the process of changing, so wait until Mercury is direct to
finalize anything. In general, maintain a slower, more cautious pace in
daily affairs. Always allow at least two days before (to slow down) and after (to resume regular
activities) a Mercury retrograde period.
