Moonsigns
Today: July 19, 2008
Waning moon in Aquarius. Excellent day to change directions on a project or the way in which you are putting something together. Air signs (Gemini, Libra, Aquarius) are the most creative. Leo needs to lie low — you’re not communicating clearly, even if you’re being very loud. Romance for Aquarius, Taurus, and Scorpio comes with a few hiccups.
This week: July 18, 2008
This full moon is the Buck Moon, the Trees Broken Moon (Zuni), the Red Salmon Time Moon (Nez Perce), the Moon When the Cherries are Ripe (Lakota Sioux) and, my favorite, the Buffalo Rutting Moon (Oto). And since the sun is in Cancer, this moon is in Capricorn, Cancer’s opposite sign. That’s how it works, y’know: the new moon and sun sign are the same. This weekend brings a waning moon in Aquarius — a great weekend for indulging in sci-fi or fantasy. On another note: RIP, Spencer Gates. We always enjoyed The Mystery Girls on WMBR — back when commercial success for a band was viewed as treason.

About MoonSigns
This horoscope traces the passage of the moon, not the sun. Simply read from day to day to watch the moon’s influence as it moves through the signs of the zodiac.
When the moon is in your sun sign (e.g., you’re a Taurus and the moon is in Taurus), you are beginning a new 28-day emotional cycle. Expect increased insight and emotional responses during this two day period. The moon changes sign approximately every 2.5 days, so it’s influence is intense, but ultimately brief. Now, when the moon is in the sign opposite your sun sign, expect some ups and downs. Here are the oppositions: Aries, Libra. Taurus, Scorpio. Gemini, Sagittarius. Cancer, Capricorn. Leo, Aquarius and Virgo, Pisces.
As the moon between signs, it will sometimes become "void of course," and make no major angles to planets. Consider this a null time and try to avoid decision-making or implementing decisions if you can. It is an excellent period for creativity, unexpected encounters, and quirky outcomes.
