Watching the Moon
Photo by Canary Zindell This page and calendar tracks the lunar phases, signs, and void of course times. The Moon looks exactly the same size as the Sun as viewed from Earth, and its orbit is synchronized to the Earth’s, which is why we only see one side. It is bigger than Pluto! Some scientists think it is more like a planet, referring to the Earth-Moon system as a "double planet" similar to Pluto and its moon Charon. The orbit is associated with power, protection and ethereal energies. The Moon changes signs about every 2.5 days, so tracking these changes is one of the best ways I know to understand the energies of the signs and how they work for you personally. It also makes every possible aspect to every other planet during the course of one month. The Moon is the archetypal symbol of our emotional body, our self-image, what we need and where we feel security. In one month we go through every possible emotion, sometimes withdrawing to reflect upon what our emotions are telling us, and sometimes emoting outwards. Understanding and learning from our emotions is some of the highest internal work there is! Do you know your Moon sign?

CURRENT MOON Void of Course Moons: This is the period of time right before the Moon changes signs when it does not make "contact" with any other planet. There can be a feeling of disconnection as we are readjusting our focus from the energies of one sign to another. It's not a bad thing, but better handled if one can also float, without specific plans or agendas. The Lunar Month Calendar
