Yes, the majority of Lunar Living's site is back online. We are currently working on getting the appropriate SSL back in place and then we can get the reports section back online. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
We ended up purchasing a spot from a totally different webhosting service. While I won't say who we were with, I will let you know that it had been acquired by <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Endurance_International_Group">EIG</a>. If you look at the list of EIG subsidiaries, and based on what I have since learned about EIG, these companies are likely to fail within the next few years (if they haven't already). EIG keeps the brandnames, like Constant Contact, but restructures the companies with subpar support systems until all the profits are depleted and the companies eventually fail. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I will keep my eye on EIG from here on out. If I see that EIG becomes involved in any company that I am involved in, I will promptly stop the service and move my business to an organization that values its customers. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Thank you everyone for your patience as we move through this as quickly as possible. </div>

Have found out that the company was acquired by an organization that is known for depleting the companies of all their assets and letting them fail.<br />
<br />
We have done some extra research to try to find a hosting agency that is on more solid footing. We are busy working on the IP resolution process which can take several days. Then we can start rebuilding.<br />

This is the first full moon of 2018 and we will get a second super full moon in January. It will be the Aquarius Lunar Eclipse. This Cancer Full Moon is known as the Wolf Moon. This is a super full moon because it is closer to the earth. It will look larger in the sky, especially on the horizon. There are multiple interactions from the full moon to Venus, Mars, Jupiter and Neptune, giving us a lot of think about and navigate as our new year begins.</div>
<br />
<div style="text-indent: 2pc;">
Essentially, the Moon is the tail end of a <a href="https://www.lunarliving.org/astrology/grandtrine-kite-aspects.html">Kite pattern</a>, which elevates the Moon, in status, through the Grand Trine in Water, by adding in Capricorn's Earth element. All the placements in this Kite are feminine receptives. This puts the Sun and Venus, in Capricorn, in the hot-seats at the top of the Kite. <span style="text-indent: 2pc;">Read more about this Super Full Moon at </span><a href="https://www.lunarliving.org/articles/fm0102_18.html" style="text-indent: 2pc;">Lunar Living Astrology</a><span style="text-indent: 2pc;">. </span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Venus will be Out of Bounds through the last week of December and into January. Saturn has been moving through the high declinations of Capricorn, right along with the Sun. </div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Lots of Unusual Lunar Factors to consider in 2018. Fasten your Seatbelts as we slide into 2018. Starting in January, we will get two full moons in January and March, no full moon in February, a Super Full Moon during the Lunar Eclipse in January and a Solar Eclipse in February will begin the Chinese New Year of the Dog. </div>

My apologies for the sudden absence this past year. I was finishing up my degree for a Masters, then family life stuff got really heavy. Additionally, my mother died a few months ago, and whew, it was just some really heavy stuff. Saturn was opposing my Sun through most of it, and it has weighed heavy in the responsibility department. Now that Saturn is moving into Capricorn, I know that I will have other types of obligations, but in a different way and it should be more manageable. </div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The hope is that life has moved into a new phase enough for me to kick back into posting on my blog. The past few months have also been about getting my other websites on track and on new hosting service. You may not know that I am not only involved in Lunar Living, but I also created/developed the set-up for Moon Tracks Astrology Calendars. I am in the process of cleaning up the Astroscoped Directory. Plus, hopefully, I can get back to establishing JAstrology as a learning environment. Collectively, these keep me busy, but I also work and am actively involved in a couple of organizations. So, the photo in this post pretty much describes how my brain works. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Thank you all for your patience and for hanging in there with me while I attempt to get back to doing more of the things that pique my interest. </div>

Be well,<br />

This <a href="http://www.lunarliving.org/articles/fm0521_16.html" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Sagittarius full moon</a> will feel less restrictive but there are going to be other confounding factors involved in how we navigate through the day. There is a Grand Trine, a T-Square and a Wedge pattern all pulling us in different directions. Mercury retrograde is still in effect for one more day. The recommendation is to wait a day or two more, before making any major decisions.

The <a href="http://www.lunarliving.org/articles/nm0506_16.html" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Taurus New Moon</a> of today is a mixed combination of promise and apathy.

<div style="text-align: justify;">
With Mercury and Mars transiting retrograde right now, we may get some mixed messages or send mixed messages. Mercury's transit is currently on a critical degree of Taurus, adding a level of intensity to the confusion. </div>

The Sun is newly in Taurus with the Moon opposing in Scorpio, we now have the Full Moon of Scorpio. This can cause some rude awakenings in our lives. We have the endurance to wade through all the misinformation, but we may feel a little sluggish with our thinking.

The Aries New Moon is tomorrow (in about 11 hours) and we are likely to get an extra boost of energy to get our day started. I love Aries New Moons. An update for Lunar Living Newsletter subscribers. There is a link on the bottom of the New Moon article for you to sign up for newsletters again. The server that I rent is still not stable and I don't want to start over again and again with the system, so I am going to try out the MailChimp service for newsletters. If you want to receive the newsletters, you will need to sign up again for the service. Thanks for your patience! <a href="http://www.lunarliving.org/articles/nm0407_16.html" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Aries New Moon Article</a></div>

The Libra Lunar Eclipse has the potential to bring up some heavy duty
frustrations along with some proactive influences that we will want to
carefully navigate through. <a href="http://www.lunarliving.org/articles.html" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">March 23 Lunar Eclipse</a> We will learn new information about self and others, then struggle to understand it.<br />

Saturn will station retrograde in Sagittarius on March 25. Shifts of energy will become apparent within a few days. </div>

This new moon in <a href="http://www.lunarliving.org/articles/se0309_16.html" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Pisces is also a Total Solar Eclipse</a>. While we always want the best to happen during a solar eclipse, there are some challenges that we are dealing with. Proceed with caution when making major decisions or even just getting through the day. We may not be as focused on our activities, as we should be. Newsletter subscribers, I apologize that I have not yet had time to take care of the mail server. It will take me longer than I wanted. Subscribing to one of the Lunar Living Social Media accounts may be the best way to keep track of the articles, for now. All the best, </div>

The full impact of the Mercury Retrograde through Capricorn and Aquarius certainly took me on an interesting journey. I now have a very - lean & clean Moon Tracks website - and I have the <a href="http://www.lunarliving.org/articles.html" target="_blank">full moon in Virgo article</a> posted but I can't send out any newsletters because the web server that I had the newsletter mailer on, is a thing of the past. I may, or may not, rebuild. I'm looking at other options and deciding what would be the best choice for me. Nonetheless, I feel good that I was able to get Moon Tracks back up and running in little more than five days after the web sever company cut loose a new server and IP for me. The Moon Article is up and available and now, I will go do my homework! All the best to you.</div>

<br />
I have a new job that I started a few months ago that is keeping me very busy. Also, this past year, I started working on my Masters degree and I'm less than 10 months away from graduating. So my schedule is squeezed. I have cut way back on the amount of time and articles that I post on <a href="http://www.lunarliving.org/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Lunar Living</a>. But I am doing my best to keep the <a href="http://www.lunarliving.org/articles.html" target="_blank">new moon and full moon articles</a> posted on time.<br />
<br />
The newsletter mailer list hit a bit of a glitch this past year. It has an automatic de-subscriber system built in when the email servers send back a notification that there's a problem at their (your) end. Before we were able to figure out what was happening, we had lost over 100 established account addresses. While I had record of the addresses, when the accounts were deactivated, I lost both names and account numbers in the fall out. Today, I have reinstated those email addresses giving you the option to fix the basic information of names and types of letters you want to receive. So, feel free to change that to your preferences when you receive the letters. The reinstatement letter will only be sent to the email addresses that were deactivated/dropped.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.moontracks.com/" target="_blank">Moontracks</a> has been updated as well, with all the newest 2016 calendars and astrology information for the year. So be sure to check out that new info.<br />
<br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">
This partial solar eclipse in Scorpio will be visible from most of North America. The <a href="http://www.lunarliving.org/articles/se1023_14.html" target="_blank">time will depend on where you live</a>. Use the correct types of goggles or devices to protect your eyes if you get the chance to watch it. On the East Coast, it will almost a "sunset" eclipse. It will initiate in Siberia on the morning of October 24, crossing over the international dateline and end in North America in the afternoon of October 23. Yes, I said that right, starts on the 24th and ends on the 23rd. Timing is everything... :^)<br />
<br />
This New Moon will apply pressure on us to change out old behaviors for more effective ones, or at the very least, more efficient ones. The Mercury retrograde will end in a few days. That will help us get back on track.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
The <a href="http://www.lunarliving.org/cgi-bin/cgi-articlez/clickcount.pl?url=http://www.lunarliving.org/articles/le1008_14.html" target="_blank">Lunar Eclipse in Aries</a> tends to fire us up. How can we use that energy effectively, becomes the major question. We may act impulsively as though we have no control, or we might find that we have more control now than we have ever had in the past. This Full Moon/Lunar Eclipse may be more relevant for people born three days before or after the 8th of January, April, July & October.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
This total lunar eclipse will be rather unique for individuals who live on the East Coast of the United States/Canada. There's a small window of opportunity to view it... the 'Selenelion' described as "a celestial event in which the setting, eclipsed full moon and rising sun can be seen in the same sky." Read more about the "impossible event" at <a href="http://www.space.com/27338-total-lunar-eclipse-rare-sunrise-selenelion.html" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">space.com</a>. This is so rare and isolated that very few have even heard of it. It's a mind blowing concept, leaving us wondering "How can that happen? The Sun and Moon are opposing each other during the eclipse!"</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The lunar eclipse has already started impacting a lot of people. If you haven't already experienced it, let's just say that you have been very lucky! A lot of people have been very stressed the past few weeks. I don't know how many times I thought that I was in the middle of a "full moon kind of day." There's a lot of stress floating in the air.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The Mercury retrograde will certainly not help with the events that unfold during the eclipses. Mercury retrograde began on October 4 and will last through October 25, after the solar eclipse. We may need to "re-think" our ideas more than we want to.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
But, don't give up hope. There is also a Kite pattern with a Fire Grand Trine. We just need to figure out how to use it to our benefit as well as help others to find a sense of peace. </div>

The <a href="http://www.lunarliving.org/articles/fm0909_14.html" target="_blank">Pisces Full Moon</a> brings awareness of health and well being to the forefront. We are not merely thinking about our health, but the health of others and ways to be healthier. This Full Moon chart has a few challenging aspects that we will need to navigate. It also has several productive and proactive aspects that help us to get some things accomplished. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
We should also be looking to the future eclipses coming up next month. We need to be thinking of the energies of the Lunar Eclipse in Aries and the Solar Eclipse in Scorpio so that we don't get bowled over by their dominant traits. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Back to our current event, this Full Moon is the third Super Full Moon of the year and it is also the Harvest Moon, as the full moon closest to the autumn equinox. We can reap the rewards while enjoying it's beauty in night sky. </div>

We need that now, especially after that last Full Moon on August 10. I had a fear that the transits of that day would hit us like a ton of bricks. I believe a significant astrological feature, as a result of the Mars transit, brought anger and despair to the surface. There is an astrological phenomenon that occurs approximately once every 10 to 20 years during a year that Mars has been retrograde. That astrological event has the potential to totally rock our boats. The last time I saw this occur was in 2001. It happened again, this year, on August 11 followed by the Ferguson riots, the death of the beloved comedian, Robin Williams, and the death of reporter James Foley. The astrological scenario is explained in more detail in this week's New Moon article. </div>

It has been quite a while since I have posted on this blog. Time slips away and I go in a bazillion other directions. But I'm back for now. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Jupiter IS in the sign of Leo for the next year. There will be a retrograde rest period December 8, 2014 to April 8, 2015, and a reset period until July 11, 2015, while Jupiter moves through the shadow of the retrograde period. That being said, most of us get our best action/options from Jupiter between July 17 to December 8, 2014, and again between July 12 - August 6, 2015. We can utilize the shadow period as a regrouping and researching period. But, I know you are wondering... generally, what will Jupiter in Leo be like for most of us earthly civilians over the next year? Jupiter will bring a new beginning for Leo and the other fire signs of Sagittarius and Aries. But it should also benefit the other signs in the zodiac. The fixed signs of Scorpio, Aquarius and Taurus are, however, likely to hit a few speed bumps. More about that later, <br /><br />Jupiter's transit through Cancer was marred down by the Pluto and Uranus extended square transits in the signs of Aries and Capricorn. Plus, near the end of Jupiter's transit through Cancer, Mars' extended transit in Libra contributed to a melt-down in the optimism department, especially for those individuals whose charts were strong with Cardinal signs (Aries, Cancer, Libra & Capricorn). Consequently, most people came out of the Jupiter in Cancer transit feeling let down. Let's try to put that behind us!<br /><br />For the most part, Jupiter's transit in Leo is filled with creative ideas and potent with opportunities. While Leo is the sign of risk-taking, there are no guarantees that they will all be luck-filled or gainful. Leo also rules over love, affairs of the heart, conception and children. It is common for unexpected pregnancies to occur while Jupiter moves through Leo. It is also common for children to become very important in our lives for a variety of reasons. Another significant area of Leo is esteem and appreciation. This next year may be a year of many individuals shifting into new jobs. We don't appreciate being "unappreciated" by our employers, hence we are likely to walk away for better employment environments, even if that means making less money. Interestingly enough, we can seemingly find money in thin air by managing our funds in a more resourceful way. But we are just as likely to blow it all on a gamble or purchasing items in hopes of boosting our self-esteem. Baby-boomers are likely to "go big or go home" during this transit since they were born with Pluto in Leo. This is likely to be a year of large transformation for them. <br /><br />Jupiter's transit in Leo has the potential for helping with economic recovery, but there are a couple of rocky points. The issue is with the power of the business world and the mind-set of corporations. The long held square between Uranus in Aries and Pluto in Capricorn continues to transform the concepts of power and interrupt the tone of leadership. There's been a strangle-hold on the world while those in political power wrestle with each other to prove their worth and try to subside their own personal fears of change. Not to spend too much time on history, remember that Pluto moved into Capricorn in 2008 while Uranus moved into Aries in 2010. In 2009, the global economy essentially went to heck in a hand basket. The Pluto and Uranus square that keeps stretching taut and then gradually releases seemingly every other month has been the sticky wicket through all the auspicious transits that should have brought us plenty of opportunities. Well, the opportunities haven't proved to be all that great, and that's partly what is going on with Jupiter's less than stellar transits, of late. Jupiter keeps being placed into difficult roles and positions without the power to supersede the Uranus and Pluto "square band" of power and upheaval. <br /><br />Now that Jupiter is out of the Cardinal influence, there are more opportunities for those individuals with masculine placed planets (Aries, Gemini, Leo, Libra, Sagittarius & Aquarius). While Jupiter was in Cancer, the individuals who should have been able to benefit were the feminine placed planets (Taurus, Cancer, Virgo, Scorpio, Capricorn and Pisces). Unfortunately, there were three Cardinal placed planets that usurped Jupiter's power while transiting Cancer. You will get a second chance to feel the glow next year when Jupiter moves into Virgo, and does not get sucked into the Cardinal dramas and woes. <br /><br />Over the next year, Fire and Air element signs (Aries, Gemini, Leo, Libra, Sagittarius, and even Aquarius) should get the most benefit from Jupiter's Leo transit. The best dates are September 27 - October 20, 2014, March 7 - 17th, 2015 and again June 3 - 16th, 2015. Strategize your events around those dates to get the best use of the energies. <br /><br />Outside of the individuals with dominant Leo in their charts, the individuals who have strong Fixed placements in their charts may need to hunker down. The signs of Taurus, Scorpio and Aquarius will need to find their resilient sides, especially during the following periods when challenging aspects to Jupiter are formed: July 16 - August 20, September 9 - December 18, December 25 - January 8, 2015, and lastly July 5 - August 11, 2015. <br /><br />A great quote by Francesco of Astramentis about Jupiter in Leo; "Jupiter, in its social aspect, represents the 'people who matter,' rulers of state, senior executives, judges or prelates. It's an ambitious planet in the sense that it stimulates the desire to make a career and get honors, and then we will see the rise in prominence of someone who is in between sight and those who make a simpler life." Of course, time will tell whether that happens, but it could certainly change the atmosphere that Pluto has been creating for all of humanity. <br /><br />Look back to the last two times that Jupiter has transited through Leo to get a sense of how it could impact you this time around. Jupiter in Leo's last transit was between August 2002 and September 2003, and the time before that was August 1990 to September 1991. Take the lessons you learned from those periods and use them to your advantage this time around. </div>

This Taurus Full Moon is also called the Hunter's Moon in North America as the fall colors wash over the trees and we prepare for the cold winter months. The chart for this Full Moon is very aspect filled and we will have a variety of energies to sort through as we navigate through it. There is a yin and yang to it though, that we can find the balance within the chart, with effort and determination. Read more about the purpose of this Full Moon at <a href="http://www.lunarliving.org/articles.html" target="_blank">Lunar Living Astrology</a>. There is a T-square leading into the Mercury retrograde starting November 6 and also into the Scorpio Solar Eclipse of November 13. We are likely to seek out the safest alternatives as the Moon transits through Taurus. With Mercury transiting <a href="http://moontracks.com/daily-declinations.html" target="_blank">out of bounds</a>, just prior to the retrograde motion, we will be feeling more vulnerable. Mars is transiting out of bounds right now, but the feeling is not as vulnerable with Mars. It feels more chaotic and confusing, however. We will just need to keep both feet inbounds to stay on track. If possible, have a little fun to release the tension. Happy Halloween, everyone!</div>

The Libra New Moon should bring some relief after that hard hitting Full Moon last month. We can start to regroup now, and clean up some of the left overs that seemed to hang on for, like, forEVER! Finding balance is an important message with the Libra energies. This New Moon does seem to put quite a bit of emphasis on Chiron, encouraging us to find help for issues and personal problems that plague us. Saturn in Scorpio will have us focusing on restructuring our psychological perspectives as well as our finances and familial legacies. Secrets and taboos may also need to be examined if we find that they are hindering our ability to expand or change. The upcoming Full Moon in Taurus will be two days prior to Halloween, and those energies will splash over into the celebration of the day. Also, we will be experiencing a solar eclipse and lunar eclipse next month. There will be lots to think about as the holiday season approaches. </div>
