Well, the energy today (emotionally speaking) is a lot different today than it was yesterday. While the New Moon is still present (technically speaking), the exact degrees of that New Moon have already come and gone. The Moon is still in Libra until tomorrow morning at 5:42 AM EDT where it will then move into Scorpio, so you can still begin that 'new thing' and a day late is better than having not done anything at all.

The Moon will square both Saturn and Pluto giving a melancholy and bummed out disposition. Capricorn is already THE MOST pessimistic and skeptical sign of the zodiac, who needs lots and lots of convincing, so you might find it a bit of a challenge to 'look on the bright side'. I can guarantee you this, thinking negatively is a much bigger pull on your spirit than thinking positively. Thinking negatively is such a drain to the psyche and spirit, that you almost can't handle it alone, you'll find it necessary to recruit others to think just like you. Yeah but this and yeah but that. Remember Thomas, who would absolutely NOT believe that Jesus rose from the dead unless he himself could stick his finger in Jesus's side. And so that's exactly what happened. Because of this, Thomas is considered the Capricorn of the 12 Apostles. And there you have it, 'The Doubting Thomas'.

We also experience Mercury and Venus in Libra conjunct the Moon in Libra. A conjunction intensifies the energies of the planets involved. So it takes the aspect to a higher level of operation. The Moon conjunct Venus has a very high asethetic eye, so there could be some shopping today if anything pleases the senses. It also makes people easy to get along with and very charming. When the Moon conjuncts Mercury this makes it easy to communicate and feelings are heard and understood. It also makes it very easy to sell people something.

So you can see, we have two (2) totally different types of energies occurring today and you get to decide which side of the astrological fence you want to stand. Take your pick!

In addition, the Moon will sextile Jupiter expanding your appetites, which might be eat, drink and/or be merry. Either way, this energy e-x-p-a-n-d-s whatever it touches which will also influence you once you have made your decision on which side of the fence you want to stand.

SIDE NOTE -- On my DrStandley Astrology Facebook page, I said that I would be placing a 'Donate Button' on this website. Since I no longer write Natal Charts, Solar Returns or do Phone Readings, then this website has to generate enough funds in order to support its bills. This website is massive (20,000 pages) as it goes very deep with the links, just as you will be able to see from the mounds of prayers, affirmations, angels, saints, novena's and other writings for you to increase and e-x-p-a-n-d your wonderful mind. This is not a website that can run on a small hosting fee package simply because there are a lot of bells and whistles that I have to purchase separately that make creating certain areas and updates easier, faster and smoother. So it's not just a hosting fee thing. I shell out hundreds of dollars each month to keep this thing running. Having said that, there is now a 'Donate button' in the top right corner of the website, just below the yin-yang-globe. We will see how this goes because now that I opened the yoga studio, this website still has to support itself in order to pay for the bells, whistles, tools, scripts and hosting fees that make it run. This does not include butt-in-the-seat time to write horoscopes, articles, etc. When I stopped writing horoscopes at the beginning of September, a couple of hundred dollars worth of monthly site renewals were staring me in the face and I was pondering if I still wanted to keep shelling out dollars since the eBooks in my Holistic Shop are not enough to support the site. We'll see how it goes ... I'm a little skeptical about the 'Donate button' (Capricorn Moon) as I have walked down the 'Donate' button path before, which pretty much generated about $10 every six (6) months and that's not even an exaggeration. But we'll see how it goes. I'll keep you posted. I did have a kind Facebook friend pay for the drop-down-menu-generator-script that you see on each page. The yearly cost for that piece of script was $60 and she picked up that tab a couple of weeks ago. Some bills are yearly and some are monthly, and some I just have on a monthly basis now since this site is flying by the seat of its pants. Weeeeee! The 'Donate button' is on the site now. Look up in the top right area of the site just underneath that big gigantic YIN-YANG GLOBE.
