ALL ABOUT THE MOON, pt. 2

Whenever you hear, “the Moon is in Gemini, the Moon is in Leo” it’s easy to confuse that with someone’s Moon sign on their birth chart. However, the Moon actually has cycles with Astrological signs themselves, separate from the monthly Moon Cycle, and separate from birth charts. 

This is known as the Moon's Ingress by Sign. This cycle has a life of about 2-3 days, so every 2 days the Moon changes what sign she’s under. For example, on June 11th at approximately 9:31 AM, the Moon enters Pisces. Two days later at 9:03 PM, the Moon enters Aries. Right now, we are still in the Moon in Aries cycle until June 16th, where the Moon will enter Taurus. 

Why does this matter? 

Well, when the Moon is in your sun sign (so when the Moon is in Capricorn, since I am a Capricorn Sun) they say it is important because one should feel more at ease with yourself and more connected to yourself. Examples of this show in the way you express yourself, whether it is your emotions or whatever you want people to hear. Confidence and intuition levels may increase around this time, as well. Astrologers often say that this is a good time for new ideas and to resolve issues, as you will be more inclined to express yourself. 

The Moon being in Aries right now is very interesting. Experts are saying that this Moon cycle specifically aims to guide you to find a healthy and productive way to channel your emotions. Communication will be more direct. This is the perfect time for someone to tell you to get your shit together, so if that ends up happening to you or you suddenly feel more inclined to say something that has been on your mind/chest, this is why. Be impulsive, but think before you speak/do, as again we want to be more productive with our energy. Think about what is best for YOU right now, and go from there. 

CafeAstrology has a great webpage for Moon Ingress Interpretations and MoonTracks is a good way to keep track of the Ingress dates, so you know when the Moon changes again.

The Moon is set to change into Taurus on Tuesday, June 16th. Expect peace and relaxation. Being comfortable and at ease should be your main goal. Get creative with art and music. You have been working hard, so now it's time to get out of the radar.
