TRANSITS: Weekly Astrology Report by Dietrech Pessin with Green Light Days.
Major Event Sunday August 25, 2013
Grand sextile Moon in Taurus after 9:13 AM 60º to Jupiter & Mars in Cancer and 60º to Sun and Mercury both in Virgo and 60º to Saturn in Scorpio 60º to Pluto in Capricorn to close the six pointed configuration with Neptune and Chiron in Pisces.
Green Light Days this week are:
Saturday August 24, 2013. Moon in Aries has a Green Light through Sunday August 25 at 7:13 AM as the final aspect is parallel Mercury. You get the information you need to make informed decision that move you into the right direction quickly. Throughout there are multiple stories and activities to consider which are necessary for your advancement.
Sunday the Moon is void of course from 7:17 AM until 9:13 AM.
Sunday once again a Green Light period begins at 9:13 AM when the Moon enters Taurus for another positive period to successfully forward your goals right through Monday then on to Tuesday until 6:58 PM. The Moon’s final aspect in Taurus is 60º to Mars at 6:58 PM. The Moon is free floating in Taurus for 10 minutes before entering Gemini at 7:08 PM.

Tuesday at 7:08 PM the Moon enters Gemini. – Information travels quickly and leaks of information continue to be the theme. Siblings connect for important events. Deals made for auto financing and travel funds. Letters and notices are greatly important today. With so much information about to change, wait for this day to show a clear path action plan. Mars is leaving its soggy position in Cancer and traveling into the fiery sign of Leo at 10:05 PM Tuesday, where it then can function with a flare and a creative direction through October 15.
Early on in the Gemini Moon sign it is risky to make long term agreements because all or part of your project may be lost or dropped. By taking direct action before Mars leaves Cancer you are apt to inadvertently act in haste to grab a great deal that was never yours to begin with. It may end in a loss of money or deposit and rope you into a commitment you cannot afford to keep. By waiting until after Mars moves to Leo you then have the power to create your vision in style.

The Gemini Moon is best after 10:05 PM Tuesday when Mars changes signs. Mars will enter Leo until October 15.
Tuesday Green Light Period after 10:05PM August 28 begins for all day Wednesday as you may move forward with your goals with the blessings of Venus in Libra at the end of the Gemini Moon’s route on Thursday at 12:45 AM. This is the final Green Light Period for the week ending August 30 until the next Green Light Period beginning on Monday September 2, 2013 through Wednesday September 4, at 6:38 AM.
Wednesday August 28, 2013. There is a Green Light on Wednesday and a super powerful Last Quarter Moon at 5º Gemini 35’. The Gemini Moon reaches its last quarter phase at 5:35 AM. This is a high action lunar phase which has a time line linked directly to a recent Lunar Eclipse from last November 28, 2012 and a Solar Eclipse June 2011. This adds to the high action quality of the day. You may find the check is in the mail or a letter about its status. If you must pay a debt this is a good day to write for an adjustment in your bill. Beyond the connection to events that were clearly out in the open last fall, you can make further connections to other related dates.
The complete Moon Family is as follows:
Solar Eclipse New Moon June 1, 2011 at 11º Gemini 1’.
First Quarter Moon March 1, 2012 at 10º Gemini 51’.
Lunar Eclipse at the Full Moon of November 28, 2012 at 6º Gemini 46’
Last Quarter Moon August 28, 2013 at 5º Gemini 35’.
You may discover you have a very important story line that follows the path of the dates in this Moon Family. Look back in your journals or other patterns of communication for clues about what this Moon Family means to you.
Moon Families are a primary topic in my book Lunar Shadows III. You can order a copy from me directly for a signed book or from Amazon.com.

Thursday August 29 the Gemini Moon is void of course Thursday from 12:45 AM ALL DAY through to Friday at 7:33 AM.

Friday August 30 at 7:33 AM the Moon enters Cancer until Sunday September 1, at 8:01 PM. The final aspect of the Moon to a planet will be a square to Venus on Saturday August 31 at 8:06 PM. The void Moon period continues through Sunday All Day until 8:01 PM. However the Moon is not void of course in Cancer according to Ancient astrologer William Lilly 1602-1681.

TRANSITING MOON ENTERING TAURUS 9:13 AM
Aug 25 2013
The Moon in Taurus is in its exaltation which normally indicates that there is a graciousness and honor of some sort. When the Moon is in Taurus, there tends to be a focus on finances, and often money comes through on these days. This is the Moon of tradition, concerned with matters of the family and gatherings. It is usually “food first” for Taurus Moons. Bonding is more apparent with loved ones. There is a need to get more grounded and find some peace and quiet. You may be carting about people or supplies. (Before automated vehicles, the bull pulled carts of supplies and people.) Taurus Moons can be lazier and more indulgent than usual. This can be a slow-moving couple of days with no rushing and lower blood pressure. The bull is more sensitive than they appear being also stubborn and not easily pulled off track. If there is a sense of being pressured this could incite rage especially if plans change without consulting the bull and then securing his/her approval. Don’t push, suggest. Find a way to make your pitch, sale or emotional plea politically palatable, practical and profitable to please and capture your benefactors’ attention. Remain sensitive and patient while watching the object of your attention become interested in your product. Making a pitch or sale with the Moon in Taurus can be tedious but you are often speaking to someone who has the means to fund your project or buy your products. If you can remember they don’t want to be pushed, they want to be seduced you will have much better luck. If you seem to be interested only in money you will lose their respect. When the Moon is in Taurus people like to buy things that are sensual to the touch. Fabrics need to be comfortable and relaxed but of high quality. Flannels, cottons and very soft wools are sought. Lots of food items, cooking and indoor/outdoor gardening are high on the activity list. This is a time to be nurtured and be nurturing. If the Taurus Moon occurs on an otherwise good day your powers of manipulation work strongly in your favor. Your ability to move to the head of the line or the top of the list if you step up and ask. Apply for a loan or mortgage. Excellent for planting flowers and beautiful bushes. If you are a Taurus, matters tend to go your way.

TRANSITING MOON ENTERING CANCER 7:38 AM.
Aug 30 2013
The Moon brings the "order of the day" and there is no better sign for the Moon then its own sign of Cancer. The Cancer Moon is a nesting time but not reclining. There is a desire to retreat and protect one's vulnerable underbelly. The baby side of people surfaces and emotions are highly visible if you are at all able to get close enough as very often people are "crabby". This is a time to nurture and find a way to nurture your inner self. People stick to their clans and cliques being less likely to socialize with outsiders and seem to be comfortable with close family members. If you are fortunately positioned you may become privy to insider information. Address matters of saving and providing for necessities as these issues move to the forefront. Food preparation and shared meals are more important. Matters of cash as related to security, real estate and patriotism are Cancer matters. Issues involving dependency or defensiveness are likely to arise with the Moon here. What people need to survive also takes precedence. Headlines are more dramatic than usual. This is a great Moon for planting vegetables and the most fertile sign of the zodiac. This is the best time to plant fruits and vegetables and general planting. If you are a Cancer, matters tend to go your way. Enjoy family dinners and nestle in with a loved one.
