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 Forecast
For the week
of August 29 to September 4
(Missed last
week's forecast? Here it
is.)
Sunday, Monday, Tuesday: the Moon is in
Taurus
Although the early part of Sunday morning has the Moon in a *v/c
(void-of-course) position, it quickly moves into the sign Taurus and is no
longer in this category. The majority of the day, as well as the first two days
of this week, are under the influence of the slower-paced energy of Taurus and
as such suggest a calm, moderate approach to activities.
Wednesday, Thursday: the Moon is in Gemini
While
some communication scenarios will get mixed up or become confusing because of
the current Mercury retrograde, Moon in Gemini is still a good time to
contact people and enjoy some interpersonal relating. Reading and studying are
two more activities that fall under the rulership of this astrological sign (rulership
means that the sign is in charge of or connected with those things).
Friday, Saturday: the Moon
is in Cancer
Home, family, good food and good cheer are on the
agenda for this weekend. There are a number of planets and asteroids in aspects
(connections or relationships) to the Moon, which means that there is a lot of astrological
energy in the atmosphere and that there is a lot going on. The only fly in the
ointment, as they say, is Mercury retrograde which could pose little annoying
situations to deal with. This applies more to Friday than it does to Saturday.
Just keep some extra patience tucked away in your pocket and things will work
out fine.
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 next 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, and
traffic can become very mixed-up or delayed 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.
