From 1st to 5th Gear: 1/15/2011

1/15/2011 The moon is VOC* from 7:47 am to 8:23 am ET when it slips into Gemini.

Enjoy a Saturday lie-in before the moon shift and the phone rings. Once the action starts there’s a lot to do and you may feel as though you’re spinning with no clear direction.

This can be fun or distracting, depending on your comfort zone. Air signs, Gemini, Aquarius and Libra may enjoy this, even though they wonder where the time went.

The important thing is to not over-schedule or rush. Community activism gets a boost with Mars beginning a cycle in Aquarius.

*Moon VOC/Void-of-Course: Avoid signing contracts, investing in a big purchase or beginning new projects or important conversations. Perfect time for clearing away clutter, finishing up loose ends, meditating or following serendipity. The “mood” of the period will be colored by the sign it is in… in Taurus, relaxation is demanded. You can try to accomplish a big task, but that couch looks awfully inviting. Give in and let yourself enjoy a leisurely lunch and your productivity will increase afterwards.
