Moon Transits

The Sun beams during the day, however the night is ruled by the Moon. The Sun is masculine and associated with Yang. The Moon is feminine and associated with Yin. This planet in particular is such a personal planet in astrology. & the planet closest to the Sun. The moon rules our deepest emotions, feelings, intuition, nurturing style, and comfort. The entire emotional spectrum including jealousy, sadness, depression, insecurity, regret, guilt, shame, fear, etc. She rules the day of the week Monday (Moon days) and the sign of Cancer. She is exalted (heightened awareness) in the sign of Taurus. The Roman goddess Luna is associated with femininity & fertility. Your moon sign can tell you a lot about your emotional world and how you navigate it. Your moon sign is essentially how you retreat to self-soothe. Your moon is your soul, who you are at your core. Example: Libra/Taurus moons will seek harmony & to beautify their immediate surroundings. Your moon’s house placement can tell you what area of your life you gravitate towards for comfort. Example: Moon in 4H/Cancer seeks comfort at home or near family. Your moon’s degree can tell you how you tend to express your emotions. Example: Moon at 3°/15°/27° (Gemini) will prefer to speak about how they’re feeling out loud or write about it in their journal. In astrology, moon=mother. The moon is the fastest moving planet and transits through the signs every 2-3 days. Moon energy is essential for shadow work and inner child work in relation to the mother-child dynamic. There are a total of 8 moon cycles: New Moon, Waxing Crescent, First Quarter, Waxing Gibbous, Full Moon, Waning Gibbous, Last Quarter, & Waning Crescent. Each cycle holds potency to work with. You can use moon transits to implement new habits, manifest, or simply regulate your emotional world. Super moon is when the Sun & the Moon are in front of one another. When the moon is in each sign, her energy influences us differently.

What to do for a new moon..

The lunar cycle restarts here. When its a new moon, the Sun and the Moon are conjunct (close together, within the same spot). This is the reason why it appears darker because it marks the start of a new lunar cycle. If you’re looking to grow, manifest, or accomplish a goal, this is where you begin. Example: My natal 9H=college/university is in Pisces, so on a Pisces new moon, I manifested an acceptance letter to the master’s program I am currently in. I got accepted into the program about a month later.

Note: Manifestations come into fruition at different times. We cannot control the timeline. Make room for what you’re asking for in your life, be grateful, & maintain your faith in the Universe.

New moon ritual: Set intentions, envision what you want for yourself. This is the transit to manifest. Cultivate your power. Remember your strength. I recommend keeping a journal specifically for your manifestations. I find it helpful to include what sign the moon is in at the start of each entry, so you can keep track of the energy and cycles.

What to do for a full moon..

When the moon is full, it is directly opposite to the Sun. We have clarity and are able to see everything from above. Full moons bring those epiphany moments where it suddenly clicks & makes sense. There’s always huge potential for something unexpected to happen in the craziest way on a full moon. Example: On a full moon in Sagittarius (9H=college/university), while celebrating my recent graduation, I randomly ran into an old friend I hadn’t seen in years.

Note: It’s not recommended to manifest during a full moon because the focus is releasing, so you don’t want to begin anything new while the moon is going through endings.

Full moon ritual: Reflect, relax, release, meditate, cleanse yourself. Wash away what no longer suits you, doesn’t allow you to grow & make room for fresh energy that aligns. It might be hard to let go of whats familiar, but change is essential for growth. Book a full moon reading with me!

When the moon is void of course..

Void of course Moon is a period of time that occurs after the Moon has aspected another planet or when she’s moving in between signs.  This period usually lasts less than a day. It has a similar effect to Mercury Retrograde. This is basically the moon’s version of a Retrograde. She is not fully moved into the next sign, but is in the process of leaving the previous sign. This period represents the space in between signs. The moon’s energy for the most part is not stable and as a result many changes occur. Therefore it is advised to take it slow and plan ahead. Don’t pressure anyone for a direct answer because things most likely won’t conclude until the moon moves into the next sign.

When the moon is in..

Air sign:

We must pay attention closely to our ideas & thoughts. Particularly what we can’t stop thinking about and how we’re processing it. Air sign transits give the best ideas & these can then be acted upon and manifested into our reality. This energy is favorable for collaboration, spending time with others, and formulating/exchanging ideas. We put more effort into our friendships and partnerships. Doing tasks that require critical thinking seem to go easier during air transits. Air signs are spontaneous because they go with the flow.

Fire sign:

We become active through our thoughts & motions. Our thoughts move faster in pace and our next steps come to us easier. We move fueled with passion. This is the best transit for any physical activity. Try to work out on Tuesdays if you can! I’ve noticed that being around children during these transits amplifies this energy so being around them could make you lively.

Earth sign:

Its best to pay attention to your body & its responses. Focus on what your physical needs & your material reality aka your finances and wealth. These transits are best for adulting. Tackling responsibilities and getting important work done. Grounding exercises work well during this time. Any lack of stability in your life will be highlighted during this time.

Water sign:

Pay attention to how you feel. Taking it slow & sleeping in are favored during this transit. Give your body that much needed rest. Do spiritual activities or anything creative. Everyone is more prone to emotional outbursts/breakdowns. A lot of releasing. Any spiritual ritual done this time, is more likely to go well.

Note: The ruling planet of each sign’s energy is in conjunction with the moon’s energy when it’s in that sign. The Moon works together with that planet for the time being. Example: When the moon is in Libra, we are under the influence of Venus AND the Moon.

Aries♈︎:

The lunar cycle restarts here. This sign is ruled by Mars, the planet of action, aggression, and ambition, its time to get out your feelings & get UP. You have the urge and stamina to get moving. Working out, dancing, having sex, etc. are all favorable activities, anything using your physical body. Despite the impulsivity, Aries transits are also good for starting something new since this is the first sign (unless theres a Retrograde or its a full moon). Mars energy will keep you on GO. The quicker you move, the sooner you’ll see results. Speed is rewarding so be sure to get stuff done.

Taurus♉︎:

Slow down & re-center. Find your peace & comfort. Relax, indulge, & be sensual in nature. Eat your favorite snacks and binge your favorite movie/series. Taurus has fixed energy so you’re not inclined to make any drastic changes. Focus on your sacral chakra & being free in your sexuality. Stimulate your senses. Take the time to look at your body in the mirror naked & say affirmations to show yourself appreciation. Focus on making yourself comfortable in your immediate surroundings. Re-decorate your space, make it cozy. Venus ruled moon transits is THEE time to spend some money. Treat yourself to your favorite food or luxury item/experience & not feel bad for doing so. Go out & view amazing scenery or look at whats pretty.

Gemini♊︎:

Communication of our thoughts is much easier. Very fast paced, chaotic energy. You may find yourself running around as your life suddenly picks up speed. Your thoughts & feelings seem to come & go. Gemini is represented by the twins which carries a theme of duality. This can definitely create inner conflict and indecision. Spend time talking and documenting them! Share your ideas, get what you need to off of your chest. Being ruled by Mercury, this time is great for learning a new language, hobby, or skill. Stimulate your mind & foster new connections. People are more likely to change their minds a lot during Gemini transits.  You may distract yourself more by picking up your phone. There’s increased online activity as we communicate with others through technology instead of face to face. Beware of overstimulation of the mind & restless energy. Be open to change as your mind becomes awakened. Something new is emerging believe in it. Touch the sky.

Cancer♋︎:

The moon is domicile (home) in this sign. She is most comfortable here. Healing power is even greater when the moon is home. Cancer is a very private, spiritual sign. Some peace & quiet will help you find your center. Your energy may feel off or scattered. You may be more sensitive. Allow yourself to be vulnerable & sensitive as you nurture your emotions. Figure out what you need thats not money. Self love? Stability? Security? Whatever it is, make sure you’re at peace so you can get it. Connection to nature specifically water is heightened. Once you get in touch with what motivates you, use that to push forward.  Mindfully meditate, work with your crystals. Speak to the moon, she will only hear those who speak from the heart.

Leo♌︎:

Own your confidence & celebrate yourself. The stage is yours to shine for your special gifts & talents! Entertainment, romance, and creativity are favored. Go on a date, get into a new activity, whatever it is have fun! Emotions can be cheerful, & bold. Theres more possibility for outbursts from others. Wholeheartedly warm & generous time to channel your inner child. Let them guide your fun & creativity. You may encounter or have kids in your life that inspire you. Children are so carefree and this is the time to emulate that energy. Remember your creations are unique because they represent you. Always ensure your decisions contribute to your highest self in the best way possible. Everyone is a bit dramatic & has a flair to them during this transit. People get spicy & like to make scenes during Leo transits. Read the room. Don’t feed into petty drama or engage in conflict. Find that balance between work and play! Bask in the good things people do/have to say about you also.

Virgo♏︎:

In this sign also ruled by Mercury, life takes a practical, analytical approach. It’s easier to plan & think ahead. You might find it easier to disappear to get organized. Satisfaction comes from answered questions, solving problems, & being of service to others. Virgo/6H is also associated with our health & wellness so matters related to your vitality may be a focus of yours. Now is a great time for a doctors visit, getting tested, or even a yoga class. Do what you need to sustain your vessel. Take care of yourself. Drink your water & take your vitamins. Make changes to your daily routine. Be real enough to be vulnerable with yourself. Face your shadow self. Life is full of moments. Always remember there will always be light brought to your darkness.

Libra♎︎:

Focus on the balance in your life. The desire to look good and mingle with others is at an all time high. Everyone speaks with charm & interactions usually are very pleasant because everyone is on their best behavior. Let your personality shine! There’s a strong need for collaboration or to feel close to your significant other and friends. Invite the spirit of team work in. Two minds are always better than one. Be open to getting a second opinion or advice from others. Issues are best solved through diplomacy. Compromise is best for all parties involved. Show your appreciation for others. Love on somebody. Honor your reality and how you feel. Attend small, intimate social gatherings. Libra transits remind us that we are loved & we don’t have to go through it alone because support is always near by. This is the best transit to get any beauty service done (hair, nails, lashes, wax, etc.) or go shopping to update your wardrobe. Admire whats aesthetically pleasing to you.

Scorpio♏︎:

This is where emotions come to die. Whatever you’re going through, this is the time to bury it for good & move on. Pluto energy is very purging and so negativity is being pulled out and away from you. Carry a positive attitude. Take it easy with yourself. Be proud of yourself. You have better things to do than be worried or stressed. Turn your attention towards your happiness & what you love above all. Protection rituals are favored during this time. Share yourself only with those you’re comfortable with & trust. Every word that has been said about you, every tongue that rises against you shall fall.

Sagittarius♐︎:

This transit has big spontaneous, playful energy that has everyone wanting to see and experience as much as we can. You tend to be more optimistic and straight forward when dealing with people. Affirm your beliefs. Try something new. Go somewhere you’ve never gone before. Take a different route on your usual commute. This is a good transit for studying. Deepen your knowledge on a subject relevant to the world around you. You have a need to understand things on a deeper level.

Capricorn♑︎:

Mind on your money, money on your mind! You could contemplate changing careers. Slow down. Look at the bigger picture. Take the time to strategize new streams of income or manifest financial blessings. Legacy motivates us as we make plans ahead that will push us in the right direction to success. Emotions tend to not be the focus here, however revelations clear the space so you can see the right path for you. Allow yourself to feel & then find ways to pour back into you. Time is highlighted here as we realize time is not infinite. Use your desire to be on top to motivate you to manifest & achieve the life you want for yourself. Buy yourself something expensive. Focus on career/work related matters, but don’t neglect you. Opportunities come in, get ready.

Aquarius♒︎:

A catalyst for change. Innovations are announced/released around this period. Trends are born under this moon. A lot more Internet usage. A lot of random events/experiences occurring. Don’t react or take anything personally. This is a great time to hang out with friends and gather in large groups. Use your time wisely & link up with like minded people. Share your opinions & what you learn from others will sharpen your mind. Random things happen throughout your day. This tends to be the shortest transit at times. Remember it’s not the material items that make you worthy, you make you worthy. Everything you need is already within you.

Pisces♓︎:

Neptune energy can leave you feeling super exposed. Once the moon has transited through the other signs, this transit in particular can feel heavy. You may be more fatigued than usual. Sleep as much as you need to. You could feel super in tune with the Universe & everyone around you. Theres this feeling of being able to feel everything, even what you would rather not. You may feel more sensitive. Your intuition is heightened here. You could receive more intuitive downloads than usual. Your visuals and dreams are highly active during this time. These visuals are meant to show you something meaningful. Use this energy to create. Pour your feelings into art. Sit with your emotions.
