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 20 to May 26
(Missed last
week's forecast? Here it
is.)
Sunday:
the Moon is in Taurus
(Sunday night - New Moon/Solar Eclipse in Gemini)
Taurus is cautious, determined, and
practical, with a penchant for completing things. Therefore this sign is great for
completing a monthly moon cycle. Taurus also rules (is
in charge of or is associated with) our five senses. Take it easy today and tonight, enjoy something
sensual in anticipation of the New Moon and Solar Eclipse that will usher in
another monthly lunar cycle.
Monday, Tuesday: the Moon is in Gemini
This is a good time to sharpen your mind, not
only by taking in information and adding to your knowledge bank, but by
exercising your brain with games and puzzles, etc. The New Moon & Solar
Eclipse highlight communication and connections, both internal & external.
This includes contacting other people, reading for improvement, and increasing
your reasoning ability.
Wednesday, Thursday, Friday: the Moon is in
Cancer
When the Moon is in this sign, it likes to see
people stay home and derive pleasure from their immediate surroundings. However
if you do intend to travel when the Moon is in Cancer, then consider setting
your home of origin or area of origin as a destination. This, along with your
current residence, is ruled by the sign Cancer; and by the way, by the Moon as
well since it's the planet associated with Cancer.
Saturday: the Moon is in Leo
There are no two ways about it, as the saying
goes, Leo just likes to have fun. If you've been 'working hard for the money' (a nod to Donna Summer), now is the time to shed that
work persona for one that will
benefit from a leisure weekend of nothing but fun, delight, and pleasure.
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

flavor of that day carries through the following 30 days.

which to do that.
Juno - There
is the potential for intense emotional bonding with someone.
Vesta - Become
firmly grounded and anchored in a stable space.

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. 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.
