I am a people watcher by nature. Perhaps this is why I love Astrology so much. What is most fun for me to do, is to watch how people interact with each other as the Moon travels through each sign of the Zodiac. The Moon only spends about 2 1/2 days in each sign. So throughout any given month the Moon will visit each sign. It is especially interesting if you work in a large office or any place where you have the opportunity to watch a lot of people. This is also very useful if you are a salesperson or have clients that your work with on a daily basis. With practice, you can learn how to anticipate the needs of your clients. The following is a description what you may notice from people as the Moon travels through each sign.
Moon in Aries:
When the Moon is in Aries, people may tend to be combative and headstrong. Feeling the need to assert themselves, they'll hold their ground against opposing views, attitudes and advice. On the other hand, this Moon placement confers creativity, enthusiasm, a love of action, ambition and energetic physical activity. This is a time for new beginnings and for instigating change...a period when people will be highly original, innovative or seeking to break new ground. This is definitely a time for action, but some people may be impulsive and rush head first into things without considering the long-term view.
