Astrology of the Moon Signs Forecast for December 18 Through 25, 2011

Our closest celestial neighbor is approaching her new moon phase and gracing our Christmas festivities with its sparkle. More than this, the first part of the week features a Libran astrological influence. Ruled by Venus, Libra brings a focus on relationships and affection.

The weekend astrology of the moon signs describes three days of a great traveling sign, Sagittarius, the archer. The other aspects of this fire sign ruled by Mercury are communication, joviality and frankness.

Planet Mercury is transiting Sagittarius and changing from retrogade to forward motion. Mercury is at home with Sagittarius. But a retrograde period (which muddled the jovial Sag energy to an almost frustrating degree) has been in the forefront as of late. Writer's block is a classic example of this kind of retrograde influence. Now, back to forward motion, the timing couldn't be better!

By the arrival of Christmas Day on Sunday, the diplomat Capricorn steps in. Spiritual astrology describes Capricorn's function as the translation of material to spiritual. Watching kid's faces while they open their presents provides a good example of this mode.

A Christmas gift from the cosmos brings a rare combination of five planets visible in the night sky. Other planets that are affecting people and events will be easily visible in the night skies through the end of December. These are Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, and Saturn. Locate the moon, and the five planets show up in the same field of vision. It's a gift because there's no equipment needed. With a clear night, simply walk outside and view the awesome beauty of the night skies.

How Moon Sign Astrology Works

The Moonsigns of the day describe a general mood for everyone. These days need not match anyone's astrological chart to take effect. Because it is so close, the moon casts an emotional climate that affects everyone.

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. If the Moon sign and your birth sign match, it's usually a perk.

The moon sign astrology colors listed with the various signs are good colors to wear or use in a meditation.
