Astrology of the Moon Signs Forecast for October 23 Through 29, 2011

The moon is still close to the equator and is in perigee, as we head into the astrology of the new moon phase. Why is this important? There are many reasons including accurate celestial measuring devices that show up in the ruins of ancient cultures.

Contemporary weather predictions draw from observation of the activities of the moon. Here in the North we are watching warnings at the top of the TV screen advising flood danger contingent on excessive rainfall and how long it's going to rain. Currently, the position of the moon near the equator typically brings storms.

Ancients depended on the moon for survival. Historically, observation of the moon's cycles has been so integral to human existence that parts of our vocabulary developed such as how the " . . . word measurement comes from me, which is the Indo-European root meaning moon. Other derivative words are monsoon, menstruation, season and metre." Perigee is a cyclic event of the moon's path of travel observed for purposes of forecasting the weather as well as predictive astrology.

Moon Sign Preview:

This week we are headed into a more energetic moon phase. With the first of the Julian calendar week coinciding, it's "all systems go" for preparing a month-in-advance plan. The moon sign is in Virgo on Sunday, which in part represents cleansing. Such an atmosphere favors clearing the pathway for new projects or moon phases. Further, the next two days augment the creation of an organized plan, thanks to Libra. This should cover activities that would come into fruition over the next three weeks.

Planetary Overview

The air will be heavy laden with sultry Scorpio energy having both Venus and Mercury conjoining. The other major planetary movement is that of the scorpion crawling along to join up with the sun on the 24th.

Adding the sun's revolution into the orb of the dark and mysterious sign of Scorpio brings about an intense transit. Count on this transit's effect for the rest of October as a backdrop to the moon sign astrology. The daily moon astrology forecast follows at the end of this general preview.

Scorpio provides a wonderful setting for Halloween events. Mars visiting Leo augments action with a dramatic flair ie.) costumes and pageantry. In general the planetary overview is favoring an authentically scary and festive Halloween.

The astrology of the moon signs is an overall description of an emotional climate. This forecast is variable like the weather. With the moon being the closest celestial body to earth, the effect is somewhat general because the moon passes so quickly. The days and nights dissolve into each other at either end of a two or three day transit. The times are modified depending on the hemisphere.

Note that the colors listed with the sign are good colors to wear on the synchronizing days that are compatible with the moon sign mood. These are also good colors to add to a meditation.
