Astrology of the Moon Signs Forecast – November 6 Through 12, 2011

Aries, the astrology sign of action, intensifies the upcoming full moon. Be ready for two days of this cardinal fire sign dominating the moon's influence. Two other planets conjoined with Aries the Ram align perfectly with Veterans Day and themes of bravery. I'd watch for this to be exemplified by American protestors returning to the places they had occupied before police orders and tear gas forced them to leave.

In the heavens, powerful planets arranged in a cross formation are tied in to what is being called an epoch, history making Grand Cross (for more on the cross arrangement, see features at the top of this page.) This planetary formation suggests opposition if one imagines the end of each cross member juxtaposed to one another. The signs involved, Libra, Cancer, Aries, and Capricorn all have administrative qualities and want to prove it. This week holds two days of Aries which is conjoined with this divergent celestial combination.

The last such configuration saw the birth of a new religion, the inquisition, and more. Rebellion was a key element, not so different than what we are seeing every night on televised news.

Thankfully, by the time the full moon is situated this week, it will have moved into the arc of Taurus which is slow moving, peace loving, and focused on beauty. For the rest of the week, read the daily predictive section to follow on the last page.

Moon Sign Astrology Preview

A good weekend get away is favored through the moon entering the arc of Gemini. Other similar mercurial activities are recommended for those who are stationary. The biggest hurdle for this week is to get over a quickness of the tongue, and the urge to quarrel. Hopefully, once we move on past mid week the tendency toward acrimonious or destructive interactions will dissipate. Apply the intelligence characteristic of Aries' energy, and direct this toward good works.

Planetary Overview

Mercury and Venus move into Sagittarius this week. Sultry Scorpio is left behind for a more communicative, open, and candid form of communication in the realms of interfacing between people and love relationships.

Another aspect affecting Aries is the planet Uranus going direct in the fire sign of Aries. With Sagittarius also being a fire sign, and the planet of sudden, explosive changes (Uranus) going forward, anticipate more earthquakes and incendiary warfare tactics. The high intelligence of Aries may pave the way for medical breakthroughs during the Age of Aquarius. See resources for more on this oncoming major transit.

How to use this forecast: The astrology of the moon signs is an overall description of an emotional climate. It describes a type of energy emanated through its occupation of the various signs. Unlike the sun's monthly transits, the moon changes signs every two to three days.

This forecast is variable like the weather. With the moon being the closest celestial body to earth, the effect is general because the moon passes so quickly. In short, the sun sign you were born under is only in the background.

The days and nights dissolve into each other at either end of a two or three day transit. Using the energy to your best advantage contributes to reaching goals, and anticipating the general mood of people encountered in everyday life.

The times are modified depending on the hemisphere. If the Moon sign and your birth sign match, it's usually a perk.

Note that the colors listed with the sign are good colors to wear on the synchronizing days compatible with whatever sign's arc the moon occupies. These are also good colors to add to a meditation.
