Astrology of the Moon Signs for October 2 Through 8, 2011

Good moon-sign astrology traveling signs reach from the end of last week through Monday. Sagittarius is the kick off sign for the beginning of the week, but the bulk of the week turns into a more serious mind set. Matters of the earth will take front and center, and practicality blends with incentive.

This week is good for sowing seeds that will begin to grow as the lunar cycle turns toward culmination around mid-month. With sure footed Capricorn dominating the week, the first steps of any project born under this moon phase are usually realistic.

Planning is best during this moon phase. There is a sort of digging out from the disintegration of the last quarter moon phase as energy gradually picks up and incentivizes forward motion. I always like to use the imagery of a seed that begins to unfurl in the ground. By the next phase its nubile growth comes out in the sunlight.

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. 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.
