Today's influence variable

Wed 19 Aug 2009
Variable Day
Moon in Leo conjunct Sun
When the Moon is in Leo it is easier to gain attention so this is usually a good time for public exposure. Tomorrow's new Moon is also in Leo focusing attention on those in power. Much of what is being stated as fact is altered or misleading so use discretion in making decisions.

Today's influence good

Thu 26 Mar 2009
Good Day
Moon in Aries sextile Neptune
Today's Moon in Aries welcomes new initiatives as does the New Moon early this afternoon. Each month as the Moon begins its new cycle - it is said to be waxing or increasing in light. This is traditionally a time for new beginnings and is especially good for projects that require a growth period. You can make progress now as long as you consider differing views. There are bound to be strong opinions all around so keep a level head.

Timing and the Moon

Electional astrology is the astrology of timing and the Moon plays the most significant role because she is responsible for setting events in motion. As the closest orbiting body to the earth, her influence is so important that two branches of astrology, Horary and Electional, use the Moon as the most significant planet. In Electional astrology we use the Moon to help determine the best time to do something.

To begin with, we have to find out the times during which the Moon is void of course. Many popular astrology magazines have a listing of void-of-course Moon periods showing the days and length of time the void is in effect. The Moon changes signs approximately every two days. The Moon is void-of-course when it ceases to form any major applying aspect to another planet before it moves into the next sign. During this time, things usually don't turn out as planned. A rule of thumb is "nothing of consequence" will evolve so it's best to avoid Moon void periods when planning something of importance. However, routine activities are usually not affected and Moon void does favor artistic or creative activities, leisurely pursuits, relaxation, meditation and the like. For the purpose of this article, we are focusing on the best time to accomplish something of importance. As a general rule, it is most desirable to begin a new project or one that requires growth after a New Moon. The two-and-a-half week period after the New Moon each month is the Moon's waxing phase. She is increasing in light, going from new to full, and anything done during this time has the best chance for growth, expansion and gain. The two-and-a-half week period after the Full Moon is the Moon's waning phase. She is decreasing in light - going from full to new - and this is the best time to consolidate, organize and complete that which you began earlier.

Because the Moon moves so quickly, she may make several aspects during the course of the day. The Moon's first applying aspect at the time you begin something describes how your action gets off the ground or the circumstances you may encounter. The Moon's last aspect before she changes signs describes the end result or eventual outcome of your action. The Moon's final aspect is by far the most important and a favorable aspect is essential if you want a positive result. There is much more to Electional astrology, however, making use of the Moon's phase, void-of-course periods and her aspects is a good place to start.
