Moonsigns
This week: July 4, 2008
This week, the moon is waxing, and the first quarter comes on July 9. The dark blotches you’re seeing are the Maria — Serenitatis above, Tranquillitatis below. I find it amusing that the ancient observers who mapped the gigantic lunar locations anthropomorphized such pleasant notions for the waxing moon (the Mare Imbrium, visible during last quarter, is the “sea of rains”).

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.
