When the moon's in

Aries: I'm usually restless, hypersensitve and lacking direction. SOmetimes I feel very discouraged. I seem to have trouble concentrating on mundane things and being practical. I'm easily distrracted or get asborbed in creative things - I tend to be highly creative, but often this takes me away from other things I should be doing. I seem to talk a lot on these days. (Chiron in Aries; Aries also rules my 8th, and opposes my Libra Uranus, forming a kite with my air grand trine)

Taurus - I tend to have rather boring days. I get some things done but it's never a wildy productive day. My energy seems to be so-so, and I feel a little depressed as the moon moves closer toward my Saturn (Saturn at 29 Taurus)

Gemini - These are either up or down days. I'm either very irritable and nervous, or very goofy and bouncing with energy. Sometimes I have psychic experiences. I tend to have trouble getting along with my mother on these days (she's a Gem-Gem, conjunct my Saturn). I usually want to go out, have fun or just waste time doing unimportant stuff. I often am friendly and very helpful to other people (who are not my mother) in spur of the moment ways (Venus, MC, Mercury, Ceres, Sun and Eros in Gem)

Cancer - another up or down transit. Sometimes I'm very upbeat and humorful, and other days more insular and withdrawn. When I'm feeling insular I can be cranky. I tend to have weird dreams and sometimes psychic experiences. (Juno and Pysche in Cancer; Cancer rules my 1th)

Leo - Starts out pretty good, but once the moon's in my 12th, often times I feel irritable and restless, much like with moon in Aries. I'm not very clearminded on these days. I find it hard to get along with my brother (who's a Leo-Aries). (SN in Leo; Leo rules my 12th)

Virgo - this seems my most productive transit for getting the ordinary day-to-day stuff done. After the 12th house Leo transit, this feels like a refreshing wake-up call. I can concentrate very well on these days on whatever I'm doing. I seem to always do cleaning and other chores like clockwork, yet manage to find time to other things (internet, writing, reading.playing music mostly). I prefer to stay home, but can deal with going OK, although if I have to be around screaming children it seems to annoy me more. (ASC and Pluto in Virgo)

Libra - sometimes productive, sometimes not. I seem very hardpress to get anything serious done of these days. I like to spend money on books and CDs. Good days for playing music. Sometimes I behave in odd ways that are outside of my routine, and I often want to go out. These seem to be the least stressful days for me at work (Uranus in Libra; Libra rules my 2nd)

Scorpio - freakiness. These is by far my most psychic lunar transit. I am frequently very creative, impulsive, impatient and have a lot of strange dreams and experiences. I prefer to write poetry or paint, rather than play music. I have very erratic and sometimes extreme moods too. If I have to be at work, I seem get along with other people better than usual (Jupiter in Scorpio; Scorpio rules my 3rd)

Sagittarius - these seems to carry over some of the weirdness of the Scoprio tranist, but I'm less psychic, and more goofy. Normally, I'm still very creative and like to play music more. My moods are still erratic, but as a norm I get along iwth others quite well. I often feel lonely on these days even if I seem happy on the outside. (Neptune and IC in Sag)

Capricorn - sometimes OK, but mostly I start feeling depressed or anxious before this transit's done with me. Sometiems I'm highly creative, but I seem to get easily discouraged. Sometimes I am vey depressed and lonely. I often overextert myself energy-wise and eat too much on these days. (Cap rules my 5th)

Aquarius - oh boy. This seems to be my "b*tch" transit. I can be a little b*tchy during the Cap transit, but in Aqua, man...LOL. I tend to be very irritable and impatient with other people. I am more inclined to tell people off on these days. I am the most outgoing, arrogant and pushy on these days. On the positive side, this is a great transit for concentrating and working, and I often have plenty of energy (mentally at least) for creative things. I'm just no joy to be around (Mars, NN, Vertex and Vesta in Aqua, Aqua rules my 6th)

Thanks for sharing those! As a fellow Pisces Mooner I too watch the Moon transits and see how I feel but I never got organized like you and wrote them down, more like just kept a mental/visceral feeling in memory.....

I still really look forward to Moon in Pisces because that means Moon in Aries is up next and I always get an energy/motivational boost!

I don't enjoy the Mutable transits, especially Virgo (understandable with the oppo/sq) -- I just feel.....itchy.....

I noticed something else when reviewing my diary:

My most consistant and inconsistant tranists are polar opposites:

My most consistant (meaning it seems to affect me ina highly predictable way) is Virgo-Pisces. Interesting this is my ASC-DC axis, as while as the axis of my Pluto-moon oppostion that forms the base of my t-square. My second most consistent seems to be the Leo-Aqua axis, which is my SN-NN axis.

My most inconsistant are Gem-Sag and Can-Cap. My MC-IC is on the Gem-Sag axis, but is very unbalanced planet-wise (three planets and two asteriods in Gem, one planet in Sag). not sure why my Can-Cap axis would be so erratic, but it is a highly sensitive axis for some reason in other ways. Perhaps it's amidpoint thing, sincee a few midpoints fall along this axis.

I also found it interesting that the Tau-Sco axis seems to have wildy different effects on either side - Taurus seemed to least weird, least uneventful transit while Scoprio was easily the weirdest and most eventful. This may be due in part to the planets in those signs - Saturn in Taurus and Jupiter inScorpio.

... but I started being aware of the general mood "in the air" on any given day as it relates to the Moon after I picked up my first copy of Sidney Omarr's "daily" ... he has a section each year devoted to what the general effect is on people when the Moon is Transiting each Sign...

I know when the Moon is in Aries, I just have to count to 10 before reacting to what anyone is doing or saying, since I'm a Libra, a Moon in Aries messes with my senses the most. People seem at their worst to me as well.

(I apologize to noreenz for not replying to her inquiry about ADD...it seems I had a bit of ADD at the moment myself LOL...if she's still around, maybe she can post again, and we can discuss it)

Yeah I'm impressed with my own follow-through too!

I did consider other transits, but here's three prominent factors I encountered during this exercise:

1) The moon transits do have a discernable pattern for the most part, depsite other transits

2) Transits of other personal planets, including the Sun, didn't seem to have as dramatic and immediately noticable effect on me as the moon transit (seems logical - afterall, the moon is closest and thuus get's "first stab" at us)
