The phases of the Moon change over a 29.5-day period. Women also have periods every month – about 29 days. The Greek word menses means ‘moon.’
Your Moon Sign shows your maternal instinct. It reveals how you feed, nurture and care for people, either alone or in groups. It describes how you look after babies, children and animals. It’s your clucky bit.
You learn how to express your Moon Sign from your mother, stepmother or grandmother, for better or worse. When instinct calls and you need to be needed by people, you ‘do’ your Moon Sign. If your Moon has hard-work aspects in your birth chart, then mothering others may also be hard work for you.
Those moments when you look at the mirror or hear yourself talking to children and think ‘I’m turning into my mother’ are correct. You are. Your Moon Sign may be the same as one of her dominant signs, too. Check.
You are Boadicea, fighting for your family or your people, using yourself as the attack or defense. You are frequently found in black nylon tights, fighting for your rights. You are Sir Lancelot, too, whose reputation precedes him, leading the battle cry as you gallantly look after your version of Queen Guinevere.
You were born to be upfront, putting yourself well ahead of the pack, pushing and thrusting your way forward, on behalf of who or what you care about. This is a brilliant Moon sign for anyone in uniform. Moon in Aries people fight for you by fighting against someone or something else, which is why you are so gifted at politics, the emergency services, the armed forces, sport or cutthroat business.
If you have this Moon sign, life is a challenge. Sometimes the issue is personal. A lifelong feud with your ex, or his. You find it hard to back down or just walk away. You have no time for wimps. Moon in Aries people overhear an argument, or see a fight, and wade in using themselves as the weapon. It’s always personal, with you.
You may rush in where angels fear to tread if you have this Moon sign. You are fast and furious by nature and that tendency increases when you have children, or become a babysitter, aunt, uncle, stepparent or godparent. Bullies tremble when they see you. You fight like a tiger if your young are threatened.
The way you dress, walk, shape your body, have your hair and put your best face forward is unusually important to you. Your name and title also matter a lot. They work hard for you.
You can be too pushy, too noisy, too inflammatory (fanning the flames when there is heat on the internet) for some. Adrenaline pumps into your bloodstream when you are scared or angry – on behalf of others more than yourself – and before you know it, you are branded a human battering ram. Are you a pushy parent? Do you go nuts when your children are playing sport?
Be careful. Don’t end up being accidentally filmed on YouTube at a football game, jumping up and down near the goal like a gorilla on acid when the referee gives your boy a red card!
If you care deeply about someone, you will find a way to give them money, make them money or save it for them. Sometimes the issue is not money, it is precious possessions; a house; an apartment. It is your way of showing that people matter to you. Even your animal companions are given gifts and treats, more frequently than others – or on a bigger scale. Fido can be a fatso, as a result.
If money is too tight to mention, you will grow flowers, bake bread or knit jumpers. You will make dolls’ houses with your bare hands, or hand over a bag of home-grown asparagus.
You come into your own when you learn that it’s okay to give things away and that you can change lives – perhaps even save them – by generously donating your time, energy, resources, possessions, money or property. You need to feel needed by those who are genuinely needy, most of all. Never doubt how important this is to people who depend on you.
Moon in Taurus people have a reputation for being tight with money or obsessed with it. This only happens when you are so generous with others that you end up miscalculating and panic. Find your math’s comfort zone.
You do that ‘we shall not be moved’ thing when there is any question of money, ownership, insurance or price. You don’t do it so much for yourself, you do it for other people. You have a strong set of values and you do not budge once you have decided what those values are. You can’t be bought and sold, particularly if a family member, friend or lover is involved.
You stubbornly resist change if it threatens you and yours. You plant your feet on the ground and simply refuse to move. You can be the snorting bull who digs her hooves in the mud – forever. Sometimes, change is good, though. Don’t become a Bore-Us Taurus.
Fear of losing what you have, or what you hold on behalf of others, can make you a hoarder. You may even become grasping. This is usually a temporary over-reaction to being broke, or perhaps being robbed or ripped off. It should not rule your life, nor your happiness.
You are a natural environmentalist or conservationist and believe in preserving wilderness and the oceans, because they are priceless.
You are the human internet, who connects people to each other using Twitter, your e-mail account or your smart phone. You always know the real story and you know how to tell it, as well. People listen and read attentively, because Moon in Gemini is the mother of all writers, conversationalists, public speakers or…gossips.
You talk to animals, who are not supposed to understand (except they do) and to very small children who have not said their first word. Children, godchildren, nieces, nephews, stepchildren all benefit from your vocabulary, because you do not believe in dumbing down just because someone is…aged two.
You choose your words very carefully because you know they can heal or hurt. You use the English language like a bandage, or a nip of brandy in an emergency. You soothe, comfort, reassure and ‘hold’ people with everything you say. You are the person who delivers the eulogy at the funeral or says exactly the right thing, at the wake. You always know what to put in the card, or within the Twitter word limit.
If you have a stellium in Gemini, then your way with words, ideas or images may be a job. You are a natural translator and may be very good with foreign languages or gifted at translating difficult concepts into plain English.
The Moon in Gemini has been compared to a monkey, chattering and jumping around. You are more like a bumblebee, collecting ideas, news, gossip and information – then buzzing across to the next location to drop it. You can seem mentally busy – as busy as a bee in fact.
It is very important that you are convinced of what you know and believe in – at a deep, core level – before you start selling the message or talking it up. You can get away with selling shoes to people who work in the Saks Fifth Avenue shoe department, so you’d better believe in the shoes.
You are a gifted storyteller who can sometimes create a story, or whip up a drama, to entertain yourself and others. It’s mere words to you, but it can affect people’s lives.
Turning everything into an episode of EastEnders, Girls or Neighbours stops you being bored, but think before you blather.
You accommodate people if you care about them. You are the hostess who always has the spare bedding ready and can find something in the pantry, no matter what time a guest arrives.
You make a house or apartment into a home and may be a very good amateur decorator, builder, gardener or architect. Your place is always welcoming, and you worry if it’s not.
Cancer is the sign of the mother, so you ‘mother’ your own or other people’s children. I knew someone with the Moon in Cancer who was a lollipop man at a local school, for years. Your maternal instinct may or may not result in sons and daughters, but you will find a way to look after other people’s children if there is no other way to express your Cancer Moon.
You understand that in order to feel safe, everybody needs a home or family. A hometown, homeland or clan. You know that can be interpreted in many different ways and will do your best to deliver it, to those who need it. You know how refugees feel – or the homeless.
The Cancer glyph looks like a pair of breasts, or a pair of encircling arms. People feel nourished by you when you hold them. They feel protected.
You may also be drawn to your history and culture, through antiques or retro objects. The past is always better than the present, to you. Your nostalgia shows up in your CD collection.
You look after the people you care about, by cooking them the recipes that have lasted, stuck into exercise books by relatives – or by making sure they eat ‘your’ food. In Scotland this is porridge. In Sydney it is barbecued seafood. In New York you might have bagels.
You like a solid home, built from brick and made to last. No other Moon Sign is as concerned with the emotional value of a home as you are. Or a hometown, or homeland.
Put ‘s’ in front of motherhood and you get smotherhood. Why be the parent, godparent, aunt, uncle or grandparent who goes over the top? One day, little Jimmy has to leave home (or you) and it’s better you realise that when he’s three years old, than when he’s 35. You may have mother hang-ups, too. What kind of mother did you have, or do you have?
There is huge maternal instinct here, for children, godchildren, stepchildren, nieces, nephews or adopted children. It’s the maternal instinct of a Queen who welcomes a new prince or princess into the palace. You are here to lead your heirs by example. You may be less interested in making them chicken soup (so grubby! So much toil!) than taking them to a good restaurant.
You believe the younger generation are special because you are their monarch. If children or teenagers do not star in your personal life, you will find a career where you teach, mentor or guide other people’s offspring. They become The Chosen Ones, even if there are 40 of them in a crowded classroom.
You put on a good show. You would not want to let your young entourage down by appearing vulgar, or rude, or badly behaved. Time and again you stop your basic instincts because there is a little voice telling you that you must set an example. And not just any old example. A royal one. A special one. A noble, stately and dignified one! You don’t do ordinary.
You are the lion-hearted ruler, strong and fearless, in any family or household. You rule from your special armchair, and when you take the lead, others follow. Why? Because they respect you – and you are right.
Leo is a fixed sign and if you have the Moon here, unless your birth chart is very different, you will have fixed opinions. It takes a great deal for you to change your mind or alter your course in life.
You don’t have dinner parties, you hold court. You don’t have one-night stands, you are courted, properly and correctly. This is the Moon in Leo way. People who don’t understand how to behave are not allowed past the drawbridge.
You prefer the good stuff in your home. The expensive stuff – let’s face it. There’s always a bit of Buckingham Palace somewhere and many Leo Moon people have a gilt complex.
You secretly think some people are just peasants. Nothing causes the Moon in Leo person more anxiety than marrying and dividing the church up into her family, his family – and the embarrassing, great unwashed. Do we have to invite Cousin Ted if he just got out of jail?
If you care about someone, you will serve them. If you feel protective towards them, you will work for them, as if they were actually paying you a salary. You do your duty by animals too, almost as if they were your furry employers.
Housework and work are instinctive, and you can be maid or butler to anyone who triggers your maternal instinct. You need to be needed and it’s the routine tasks of running a Dyson over the floor, or emptying the dishwasher, that make you feel complete.
You are superb in any organisation, department or institution which needs people to make the wheels go around. You believe in a good job, done well, and need to be useful. You often become indispensable.
You care a great deal about food, drink, drugs, doctors, healers, surgeons, fitness, gyms, yoga and the rest. When the people around you are ill (especially children) you hit the internet and become Doctor DIY for the night. You’re the person who sits by the hospital bedside, until the nurse has to drag you out. You take the cat to the vet and become James Herriot (British veterinary surgeon and writer).
Your children, godchildren, nieces, nephews, stepchildren or similar, need to understand that you were not put on earth to run errands for them and attend to endless lists and chores. You can fall into this trap very easily, especially if you are new to parenting (or substitute parenting).
Good luck, trying to have a dinner party with Moon in Virgo people (or Sun in Virgo people, come to that). There will inevitably be guests who also have Uranus or Pluto in Virgo, too, if they were born in the Sixties. If you’re the cook you may as well have a spreadsheet. Gluten tolerant? Gluten intolerant? Vegetarian? Vegan? Low Carbohydrate?
No matter when you were born, it may be necessary to stop your life every so often and get off to review it. You look after the people you care about, by attending to the tiny details of daily life, but it is all too easy to become bogged down in them and forget there are other things you could be doing with your time.
Like Jeeves the butler in the P.G. Wodehouse Jeeves and Wooster series, you attend to the fine details of daily existence with the aim of perfect service. You put the trivia into Trivial Pursuit, though. You may need to get over it.
You show you care, by going out of your way to make sure the deal with your partner is fair and square. That involves quite a lot of time, energy and effort – but you don’t mind. Your marriages, relationships or work partnerships are based on sensitive negotiation of mutual space, shared interests and common ground.
You are drawn towards duets and double acts of all kinds, even from childhood. Your first two-way street may be with a brother, sister or friend. Later on, you start dating young, so you can explore the see-saw with people who are different to you – yet your equal.
If you care about people you will treat them as your equals. You feel deeply for people who suffer from sexism or racism, for this reason. The Moon in Libra and the Seventh House is also about fighting for fairness. You are extremely sensitive to feuds, contests, disputes and competitions with others and will go out of your way, if you are ‘fighting the good fight’ for those you care about. It is quite wrong to say that Libra is associated with peace. You will go to war, to have justice.
The Moon in Libra person always has a house or apartment which is a compromise. That’s why you will never find a streamlined ‘look’ or theme. Your living space is an example of what happens when two people must please each other, as well as themselves. With this Moon sign, you may give the spare room to your husband, while you have the She Shed in the garden. Or – your wife may be mistress of the bedroom (quite literally) while you are the lord of the kitchen.
You see both sides when you care about someone. This is particularly true with children, godchildren, stepchildren or young relatives. Wavering over who is wrong/ right or what to do, can make you famously wobbly or turn you into an infamous Weak Parent.
Being ‘nice’ and trying to stay popular with everybody – especially your own offspring will not make you popular on a Sydney-London overnight flight when your little darling is kicking the seat in front of them, demanding food or fiddling with the volume on the iPad (no headphones) while you say ‘Sorry’ a lot.
The arrival of godchildren, nieces, nephews, children, stepchildren or children makes you rush out to buy a Will Kit. You translate caring into cash, precious possessions and even cars, houses and apartments. It is hard to separate your maternal instinct from money. Let’s also be honest – it also makes you feel powerful.
You need the intensity and intimacy of marriage, because of the life insurance and the mortgage, the joint bank account and the legacies. You secretly appreciate the security that comes from knowing adultery means you can take your ex to the cleaner’s.
You care deeply, passionately, emotionally and financially – most of all. You are not particularly suited to those casual arrangements with lovers, where they cruise past with a toothbrush. It doesn’t feel real enough. You don’t feel needed enough.
When you go to weddings and hear the words ‘til death do us part,’ it gives you chills. You would make a superb accountant or bank manager because you understand that paperwork is about human passion. You appreciate the risks as well as the gains.
Scorpions have a very particular way of mating. They can eat each other or sting each other to death. Sex is never just sex to scorpions. It is dangerous. It is about power. It is also about trust. You understand this in your relationships, your friendships, your partnerships, your family life and perhaps in your line of work – depending on your career choices.
You have a feeling for the undercurrents which run underneath the bed sheets. The right lover for you will respect this. The wrong one will never really get to your hidden depths, and that sells you short, emotionally, sexually or psychologically. You don’t really do chirpy and you don’t do ‘nice.’ You do depth.
You will happily power trip the whole planet when your children, godchildren or young relatives are at stake. Animals, too.
You can be venomous, like a real scorpion. Positively poisonous, in fact. You scare people because they see the sting in your tail. This gives you the advantage, but it can also intimidate potential lovers. Expect trembling.
You believe in comforting people by passing on what you know – which is actually what you believe. It may be religion. It may be astrology. It may be a firm belief that there is no God and that only science can make it all better. You hand out advice like hot chocolate.
You lend your books or recommend websites. That’s your way of nurturing people who need help. You may suggest they take the same workshop or course that you did. After all, it worked for you!
You have such tremendous faith in your philosophy of life that you trust it will help friends, relatives or lovers as much as it helped you. Conversions satisfy you greatly.
You are extremely good at making people feel comfortable about cultural, racial or national differences. You put people at ease, so there are none of the usual worries about language barriers, or the big multicultural divide.
You are a great travel companion. You come into your own on the road. You are also an excellent host when foreigners come to town. You show them round and ask about their city.
You cover a lot of ground with your children, godchildren or young relatives. You take them on holiday with you or set aside your air miles so they can see Paris. You believe it is better to travel than arrive, and you believe every journey is also an opportunity to travel in the mind.
If there is no money or time to achieve this for your family, your lovers or your friends, you will find other ways to cover a lot of ground. You’ll subscribe to cable television for the travel or wildlife documentaries. This is the National Geographic Moon sign.
Sagittarius rules the thighs in old astrology. It seems appropriate for someone like you, who walks, hikes, cycles and rides with such enthusiasm.
Heaven help us when you want to give one of your lectures – or sermons. Of course, plenty of Moon in Sagittarius people know they have a reputation for this holier-than-thou approach. Good old astrology has taught you to shut up, when you secretly long to dole out your views.
You can be cult prone. Watch out for that. When they ask for your bank account details, it’s probably not just a meditation group.
You need to be needed by your boss, your lecturer, your most important colleagues or your best clients. You feel most comfortable looking after people in highly structured organisations, like corporations, universities or government departments. You are first on the scene, ready to offer a comforting hand on a shoulder, when there is a redundancy, a resignation or a promotion. Reshuffle!
You are a great comfort to people who are trying to get the top or stay there. This also applies to the fine art of social climbing. You are the networker who understands how useful you can be to people on the way up, or those who’ve made it.
It’s easier for you to care about people who are successful, or The Girl Most Likely To. You never feel comfortable about applying your tender touch to those who are either at the bottom of the scrapheap or doomed to fail. Why bother with the wannabes or losers?
You understand how a hierarchy works and move slowly and carefully from one level to another, always helping, always climbing. When the boss wants tea and sympathy, you run to the kettle. You need to be needed by the right people. And that means the top people.
Be careful. As some astrologers have pointed out over the years, this can make you look like a crawler, chasing people for your own purposes – rather than a genuine friend.
You sincerely care about making everything a success. The trick is choosing something that other people like, respect and actually need. The work has to be worth it. The career has to be genuinely helpful to humanity. Maybe it’s not the one the family actually wanted for you.
Maybe, when we have that whopping stellium in Capricorn in 2020, you’ll even give up the career path you’re on now. You can read more about these transits to your Capricorn Moon, elsewhere in this book. If you already had your life- changing Pluto transit to your Capricorn Moon, then you will have seen a total and sweeping transformation of your mission, ambition and position since 2008. This has also altered your definition of success and what it means to ‘make it.’
Your friends are like family. You have platonic friends (opposite gender) who are like siblings or cousins. Your same-sex friendships can feel like parent-child relationships sometimes. You need your friends, to need you. It fulfils you.
Friends with dodgy mothers, or those who sadly lost their mothers when young, gravitate towards you. People who need nurturing are all over your dinner parties. You adopt them. You’ve been doing this since Brownies or Cubs. You read Enid Blyton’s Famous Five or Secret Seven and it was like you’d come home.
You circulate among friends and acquaintances and this pumps oxygen into the club, the team, the band, the class, the social media, the society, the association, the tribe.
Aquarius is an air sign and, back in 1951, the astrologer Margaret Hone was telling us it ruled the circulatory system. You are a human air conditioner. Light, breezy, never sleazy – you don’t use friendship for ulterior motives like sex, money or social climbing. You are a friend only for the sake of friendship.
Moon in Aquarius people typically belong to more than one small community of people and have detached acquaintances which go on for years. They want to reform their local area, country, or the world. The petition or the street march is where they feel truly at home.
You can put group goals – like the ambitions of a political party – before lovers, children or family sometimes. You have to ask yourself if you really are the humanitarian the astrology books talk about, when this happens.
John Lennon is our go-to example for the Moon in Aquarius. He was great with The Beatles, the fans and saving the world with Apple. He was not so great with his first wife, Cynthia. Be careful.
An Aquarius in the Roman Empire was the hydraulic engineer in charge of aqueducts, which fed the public baths. Nude, mixed bathing meant the community had to make sure friends and acquaintances were kept at arms’ length. Don’t you know it.
This remote, detached quality is common with Moon in Aquarius people. You don’t do close or complicated. You don’t do cuddles. You also think about the good of the group, or the cause, all the time. Stop saving the planet with Fred and Jo if you’re forgetting to feed the kitties.
The Mother Hen of the Drinking Den! You were made for a cocktail bar – ‘Can I get you another? How about an umbrella?’ You make people feel at home anywhere there is a drink (or maybe other substances) because Pisces rules anything that gets you high. You all get happily smashed together in a cloud of incense and talk about T.S. Eliot.
If you avoid drugs, cigarettes and alcohol for health reasons, then you may be more at home with meditation, psychic readings or spiritual healing. They also allow you and everybody else to escape from the real world.
You can also take people scuba-diving or surfing or invite them into your fantasy sci- fi world, via Star Trek and Dr. Who. As long as it’s unreal reality, the people you care about are welcome there. You love headphones.
You tell people what their dreams mean and give them intuitive messages. It shows you care. You have a feeling for their soul or spirit. You understand the subconscious mind, but also the chakras, the aura and the astral body. If you are a Christian, you care for their spiritual welfare. If you are psychic, then you use that to follow the hunches that keep your lovers, relatives, friends or colleagues safe. Your nose twitches at the first hint of a threat, like the star of Bewitched.
You keep secrets. Everything you are told, goes into the vault. This is another way of showing that you care. You’re a confidante. People can share their thoughts, feelings and memories with you. You are the invisible and reassuring voice in the confessional box.
Your children, godchildren or young relatives enter a different space when you’re around. You respect their invisible friends.
Your greatest gift is operating behind the scenes, as Miss or Mr. Invisible, without credit or recognition – for others.
It can come as a shock to realise there are sceptics out there who don’t believe in crystal healing, space clearing or the survival of consciousness after death. Be careful. Not everybody at work wants to have your rainbow crystal hitting them in the head when they walk past the office windows.

If you have a stellium in Aquarius (more than three factors in that zodiac sign) then your Eleventh House of friendships and groups is unusually packed. What happens to those friendships when Saturn, Jupiter and then Pluto all pass through Aquarius? Have friends been lost, or has the friendship changed? That’s typical of this long cycle.
The NHS was founded on 5th July 1948 in London with an astrological chart that shows a complete replacement in 2022 and 2023. The horoscope for the National Health Service reveals a perfect storm that will affect nurses, doctors and patients.
Astrology forecasts made before an historic chain of eclipses chimed with predictions of drama for the Royal Family, Bill Clinton, Donald Trump – and a strange twist of fate involving Lolita. Published so long ago that Ghislaine Maxwell and Jeffrey Epstein were still unknown to the public, they now suggest July-August 2021 is a time of reckoning. Meghan, Harry, Kate and William have also been drawn into the astrological timeline. How do the Leo eclipses pan out in 2021 and 2022?

Hi Jessica,
How will I be affected please 8 degrees Taurus Phyche, 8 Libra Aseculapia, & 9 Gemini in Jupiter – does this meant some sort of balancing or growth in my financial life at all and, it is the status quo going to last forever or, is it some sort of revolution, hard for me to interrupt with so much going on, as I also have, close hovering planets, at 10 degrees Uranus in Virgo, 10 MC Gemini & 10 IC Sagittarius – could there be chaos or finally some sort of financial growth coming my way please? Thank you, Jessica.
All the best Sheri
Sheri, you are in a cycle until 2023 when a series of tremendous changes will teach you about power and control with money, business, houses, charity, apartments and just about every aspect of your financial life. This is true for both your Gemini chart and your natal chart. You have transits going across the Second House of values, valuables and life budgeting in both. In fact, every four weeks you have to adjust your values, and the price you put on the things money cannot buy. Skip Halloween for major decisions as it is volatile and unhelpful. Allow a day either side. Long-term, in 2021, 2022 in particular, you will cut your losses where you need to, in order to do as best you can, and write off what is just ‘life’ and therefore unavoidable! You should do very nicely if you make a budget with the things that money cannot buy (integrity, self-respect, freedom, peace of mind) and pay for them. That’s radically new and different, but with Uranus in Taurus, the old catalogues and stickers do not apply.
Hi Jessica, happy Friday 🙂 Can you please tell me what the meaning of aesculapius conjunct my moon at 24/25 taurus is? Also I read that my moon is conjunct caput Algol – is it true that this is unfortunate? I work in a healing profession, I’m not sure if it has anything to do with my career. Best wishes, Aquarius Dreamer.
Ignore Caput Algol. The Moon-Aesculapius conjunction at 24-25 Taurus is about your ‘need to be needed’ by paying for people, fundraising for charity, providing goods or products, business, property, antiques and the rest. You mother people through money and all it can do for them. Some people drop out of society and become abundant gardeners, mothering the locals with free vegetables! Aesculapius is what always comes back from the brink. You work miracles by reviving, resurrecting, restoring, renewing, relaunching what/who was supposed to be virtually over. So a wrecked property or a failed company. A dying business or a dying leather jacket you can dye into new life.
Good Morning Jessica, Miss Sag moon.
You couldn’t have described me better – this is bang on. Why is it I identify so strongly with my moon (2nd house) ? Have always wondered as Cancer Sun, Scorpio rising, sure can relate to some Cancer traits but have always felt the moon has dominance in chart 18/07/67 12.40pm Springvale Vic.
Appreciate your thoughts as always…and your presence in Tasmania
Christine
Thank you. If you are in Tasmania, Christine, I hope to announce a workshop soon, in Hobart. Your Sagittarius Moon is currently under transit from the South Node in Sagittarius so you will feel it more strongly in 2020, 2021 until January 2022.
Hi Jessica,
Thanks for the article. There is varying degrees of emphasize given to Moon/Ascending signs by different astrologers. I always wanted to hear your take about the signs. I hope the Ascending sign is forthcoming in the series.
Thanks
I have written about the Ascendant on this website, not particularly in the free lesson series, so if you hit Search and Ascendant and Rising Sign, you should find the article. I have always found it completely over-emphasised by some astrologers. It’s basically shoes and blusher.
Hi Jessica,
Thank you as always. I have the Moon in Aquarius and so does my husband. I also have Jupiter at 8 in Pisces. How does this translate in my chart for the coming weeks as well as the next period in the age of Aquarius. I would appreciate your insights looking at my chart. Thank you!
If you and your husband both have the Moon in Aquarius in the Eleventh House, you will be compromising fiercely with friends/about friendship and also where groups are concerned (clubs, teams, communities) until Ceres departs Aquarius on November 9th. There is then a pause, before a tremendous new cycle begins for you both on December 20th, dominating 2021, 2022, 2023 and still with you in 2043. You are going to see big questions about power and control with friends and groups in the very short-term, and a new social landscape will emerge by November 9th, 2020. Just before Christmas Eve, you will have the opportunity to expand your social life and a perfectly timed offer involving a society, association, union, band or similar. It will be rather heavy in nature and quite hard work in 2021, but you would be mad not to get involved. A friendship at this time will become more like a family tie, or a marriage. Try to think very long-term about friends now. There is more to this than just another subscription, another membership, or another social connection. We are really talking the next 20 years, and from 2023 in particular you will realise that a particular collective or network of people can be so empowering it transforms your whole existence. Start small. Be so mindful now of the friendships which are at the heart of quite an emotional period when there will be entitlement, loss, takeover, and a transfer of power. Try to leave things in a good place for Christmas, or if you must get rid of particular friends, or let go of them for other reasons, really take your time planning it and be highly strategic about future outcomes. It is the same with group efforts. There is way, way more to this than just October and November 2020.
Hi Jessica,
As the Age of Aquarius is approaching, I was wondering how my 17 degrees Moon, 19 degrees Vulcano, 23 degrees Saturn (r), 28 degrees Vesta and 28 degrees Salacia all in Aquarius describe my role in this new age? I’m a Scorpio Sun and Pisces Rising.
Thank you for all the articles you write, even though I’m familiar with astrology your way of teaching it makes way more sense than it ever did. You truly have a wonderful gift!
Thank you. You have posted twice, but the reply is here.
Hi Jessica,

Thank you for all the articles you write, even though I’m familiar with astrology your way of teaching it makes way more sense than it ever did. You truly have a wonderful gift!
Thank you. Reading your natal and solar chart together, the biggest opportunity and test in years is coming just before Christmas and for about two decades to come, as Jupiter, then Saturn and finally Pluto transit Aquarius and your Fourth House of family, household, property, local area, town and country. You have an Aquarius stellium in the Eleventh House also, in your natal chart, so there are two plots in the new film of your life. One is about relatives and your home – another is about friends and groups. They may cross over. A classic example would be a friend who is your landlady, or friends you share an apartment with. You will enjoy 2021 as Jupiter (solutions, expansion, hope, growth, opportunity, luck) passes over everything you have in your Eleventh House. It’s a year for circles of true friends. Even with Saturn in Aquarius in 2021 and 2022, remember Jupiter always beats him. He did in myth; he does in life.
Jessica,
Thank you so much for your reply, you just made my day well.. my night as it’s 1 am in NYC, nonetheless I’m very grateful. Hope you’re having a great day!
Thank you. It is 8.22am on Monday morning in Tasmania, and I am having a cup of tea – sleep well.
In the “How October 202 Brings Donald Down” article from 26 January, 2020, there are dates mentioned for the U.S. for all but Mercury at 0 Capricorn and Chiron at 6 Aries with the Moon at 6 Gemini with Chiron at 6 Aries alongside in October 2020. We have hit the 16th and so far no news has come out yet about Mars in Aries/ The New Moon at 23 Libra on Friday 16th October 2020 are all indicators, being just one degree away from the hotspot of 24 Virgo in the American horoscope –a possible key date in the ‘End of the World as We Know It’ for Trump and his family and colleagues.
I’m afraid you are mistaken. Biden leads Trump by 17 points as the election race enters the final stage, as reported in The Guardian on Wednesday 14th October, so two days before. Trump confirmed he will leave the country when he loses.
I definitely had a giggle at your description of the Aries Moon. If you take out the asteroids, my Aries Moon is a little lonely on the other side of the chart to the rest of the main planets. While I’m not naturally competitive, at least professionally I love it when things go wrong and then I can “fix things”. I get such an adrenaline rush when there is a crisis or we need to pivot swiftly. Not always popular with my team mates but always respected by business leaders. I’m definitely too pushy for some people. Ah well. 🙂
Love these little lessons. Thank you for sharing!
Thank you!
Hi Jessica,
I have the Moon in Leo, so it’s no surprise this is about children- I have spent most of my life with my family’s needs as my priority. But I also have the Sun, Venus, Saturn ,Mercury, Jupiter and South Node in Aquarius — does the stellium have more impact soon with the Aquarius conjunction in December? Also, regarding the retrograde and a full moon at Halloween, and with Apollo at 08° Virgo, can you tell me what obstacles or opportunities might be in store for me?
Thanks,
Chrissiem
Chrissie, the year 2021 will change your life as Jupiter and Saturn slowly begin to pass through your Eleventh House of friends and groups. Along the way they will form conjunctions with your Aquarius stellium. It’s rather like a wake-up call. Whenever planets go into a house (an ingress) and new zodiac sign – it’s like the doorbell ringing on a house on a private estate. The estate is yours and has 12 homes on it. Just a few days before Christmas, you will hear the bell and answer the door, and in will come two new tenants. One is seriously concerned with making everything safe, secure, protected – and as this is the Eleventh House it is about old friendships and new friendships, but also circles, communities, societies, clubs, teams, bands, associations and so on. The other tenant is Jupiter who is a powerful problem-solver; a force for good; a life-changing source of optimism, hope, growth and expansion. Put those two into your Eleventh House for most of the new year 2021 and you can see why this will alter your life. Actually, this transit is then followed by Pluto in Aquarius from 2023, for about 20 years, so what begins next year, carries you forward for another two decades. Going back to your Apollo at 8 Virgo in the Sixth House, you are a leader when it comes to work, housework, unpaid work or study. You are widely admired and imitated. This is brought to life on 31st October under difficult economic circumstances for your country and for the world.
Jessica, my moon is Virgo but not sure I quite fit its description. Something else there preventing it from being in full function? Also, today is my birthday? Any words of wisdom or caution for the year ahead? Thanks so so much for all you do.
Happy birthday. Issues for or with the family; household; local area; house; apartment – are already being resolved in slow stages – and the big answer comes in November. From Christmas you can put the past behind you.
Hi Jessica, I am so glad that I can ask something. I am 47. I have been having issues with my health and overall well being for a while (since 2017). I will have a minor surgery soon (umbilicus hernia and abdominal adhesion) and I can select the date from now on till December (sooner is better as I hope to feel better after it). I would like my astrology to be in line with the date l choose. What do you see on my chart to make a good decision? Thank you so much, this is very important for me
Sun 18° Aquarius 59′ 57″
Moon 14° Aries 21′ 57″
Mercury 26° Aquarius 33′ 15″
Venus 03° Aquarius 54′ 42″
Mars 26° Sagittarius 58′ 52″
Jupiter 26° Capricorn 35′ 56″
Saturn 13° Gemini 39′ 48″ R
Uranus 22° Libra 59′ 57″ R
Neptune 07° Sagittarius 11′ 26″
Pluto 04° Libra 08′ 01″ R
Chiron 13° Aries 46′ 50″
Juno 13° Sagittarius 37′
I am really sorry about your surgery and ill health. Virgo rules the body but you have nothing in Virgo in the Sixth House of your chart. It’s odd that you have been living with bad health in 2017, 2018, 2019, 2020. It is possible that your birth time is slightly wrong and your MC is Virgo not Leo. You’ve given a birth time of 11.45pm and it would not take much more, for the MC or Midheaven to move into Virgo, which would make far more sense. If you are looking for dates for surgery, then you may just want to go with basic astrology and sort it out after Mercury Retrograde is out of shadow from November 20th. The best of luck with it – but do check your birth time as a Virgo MC would be much more logical and then it will be possible to look at the degree.
Dear Jessica,
Oops, sorry to post again, but I forgot to add Mars at 12 degrees Libra, as well! Does that make a quincunx to my moon? (Moon 12 degrees Taurus; Uranus 12 Scorpio; Vesta 12 Sagittarius.)
Thank you in advance for any light you can shed on all this.
Lots of love, light and blessings to you,
Angelina
Lots of 12 degree patterns here. Yes, Mars at 12 Libra is quincunx your Moon at 12 Taurus. All transits from the outer planets (for example, Jupiter at 12 Aquarius next year) will trigger the pattern, which is really about your former, current and potential partners (Libra) but also your money (Taurus) your property or business (Scorpio) and perhaps a foreign concern.
It’s a really tough time career wise for me with moon in Cap. I think I also have a stellium. Really hope things improve
Moon in Capricorn people need to be needed – by the boss – by their superiors or leading lights in the profession. They often take on a mothering role to key people in any organisation or business where they all respect the system together. What you have been going through will never happen again. You will see solutions next week, perhaps even from tomorrow, depending on your time zone. There are some big changes ahead in your game! Then from just before Christmas Eve, the elephant is off your back, psychologically, emotionally, or perhaps literally. 2021 is so much easier.
Dear Jessica! Do you think that the Moon (by sign and aspects) and the MC shows our mother and the Sun and the IC our father? I find this concept a bit confusing since the IC / 4th house is also said to be ruled by the Moon and the MC / 10th by Saturn while the Sun is supposed to rule Leo and the 5th. I would be really interested hearing what is your experiece with this! Thank you and all the best.
The Moon shows how you ‘need to be needed’ and it reveals your maternal instinct, if you have it. As you learn this from your mother, or primary mother figure (a stepmother, sometimes) it goes without saying, that your Moon sign and aspects, and house, can say a lot about your mum/mom and how you experienced her. Yet the Moon shows you, not her. The Moon is ruled by Cancer and belongs to the Fourth House of the chart. In the system I use, the IC can fall anywhere, so I don’t link the IC to the Fourth House at all. The Sun shows how you shine, get attention, are admired (or need to work very hard on shining, if you are not at your brilliant best). You learn how to shine from your father, who either supports you or does not, so it goes without saying, that your Sun says a bit about your experience of him. Yet your Sun sign is you, not him. The Sun rules Leo and the Fifth House.
Hello Jessica,
I have been reading a lot of your articles and comparing them with the news and the current situation. Your writings are so apt. I use to read a lot of Linda Goodman during my college days and you are my second love in astrologers after her.
My sun and moon both are Virgo. I read about Virgo moon and its very much about me. Thanks for such a beautiful article.
I am struggling past few years and waiting patiently for an end to my career crisis and financial struggle. Its not an easy life with me health too. Most of the times I am sick and surviving with my will power alone. I moved to London from India in 2018 December and its all hectic from then financially. could you please have a look at my birth chart and share what future has in store for me. I am tired physically and emotionally and just want to know how long do I have to struggle.
Thank you so much for the time you are taking for all of us.
Regards,
Mrudula
Thank you Mrudula. I take that as a great compliment; Linda Goodman is a legend in astrology. I am sorry you are tired, struggling and have health issues. You are strongly Virgo and ‘live’ in your Sixth House. The Sixth House rules the mind, body and spirit which work in unison. It also rules paid work, unpaid work, housework and study. If you are unwell then the problem is that part of you does not want the job you have, or the tasks you have, or perhaps even the people you have to work alongside, or serve. Unemployment can be like this too. You do not want to accept the dole so your body goes on strike. You are a Premium Member so use your cards and guidebook and ask about the present first, to be sure that you are on the right track. Then ask ‘What is the core reason I am unwell?’ I am speculating that the hidden issue is that you feel you ‘should’ work with a particular place, or you ‘must’ volunteer somewhere or you ‘should’ study. Yet a big part of you wants to avoid it, so your health falls down, so you cancel or resign. But your cards will tell you what the deep underlying reason for all this is. On a more practical note if you are strongly Virgo you should be meditating, accepting healing, doing yoga every day. Maybe for 2-3 hours. If you are not already using the free resources on YouTube to do that, it is time to start. I recommend Paul McKenna and Reiki Grand Master Sandip Jain. You can and will find answers, if you spend some time and effort on sorting things out – in fact, there is a turning point from 21st December which will only take place once in your life. Just before Christmas – you’ll be helped onto a different path where so much more becomes possible for you. But you will have to do the work on yourself to get there. You’ll enjoy it. Really do use YouTube; it is a fantastic free resource with some of the biggest and best experts in the world on there.
