Moonscopes - Weekly Horoscopes from the Lunar Point of View

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 Jan. 22 to Jan. 28
(Missed last week's forecast? Here it is.)

Sunday: the Moon is in Capricorn
The Moon likes this sign because it feels safe and protected, as though there is a secure battlement wall between it and anything contentious. The Moon feels free to make statements and express emotions when in this venue.

Monday(New Moon), Tuesday: the Moon is in Aquarius
Kick things off to a great start this week with a recognition of the rights of others, no matter how off-beat they are, and an acknowledgement of your own eccentricities. Keyword phrases for this New Moon include: freedom with responsibility, changes that respect guidelines, and honoring the variety of ideals that can be explored. Someone or something could take you out of your comfort zone temporarily.

Wednesday, Thursday, Friday: the Moon is in Pisces
Sometimes this sign asks us to serve others selflessly, without asking anything in return; to relate unconditional empathy or compassion while at the same time being so nicely centered inside that reciprocation is not necessary nor solicited (verbally or nonverbally).

Saturday: the Moon is in Aries
Personality and identity are thrust forward and projected outward into the world in some way when the Moon is in this sign. Aries is too action-oriented for the Moon to be comfortable with its main forte, which is feelings, so activities now become the focal point.

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 astrology chart? Click here .

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. Read More about Mercury Retrograde here
