Power Days

I used the first week of January to power through a much needed update of several pages at Moon Tracks Astrology. When I first started Moon Tracks about 18 months ago, I thought that I would quickly update the pages that I moved from Lunar Living a lot sooner than now. But alas, I got busy with so many other things that I lost track of time. So, my Resolution was to get this done. Hey, it's done!  I needed to redesign a few features in order to get these pages to fit with the format. So I hope the changes don't throw anyone off by too much.  Thanks, everyone for your patience! 

2012 - Moon Tracks Astrology Calendars

The Moon Tracks calendars have been updated for 2012. The newest pages are for declinations. For those of you who are new to astrology or are simply curious, declinations are the measurements used to indicate where on the latitude of the earth the planets are overhead in relation to the earth. These are used for parallels and contra-parallels, and I also use the information to determine when planets are hidek and exdek (out of bounds) in relation to the path of the Sun.  Thanks for visiting Moon Tracks and I hope you enjoy the calendars that I create for the site.

Moon Phase Widget

 Gawd! I must really LOVE the moon! The highlight of last week for me was putting together a moon phase widget for Moon Tracks. I added in the void of course information - when the moon is VoC, it will show up under the moon phase plus I added in the degree and sign of the moon. This is information that doesn't show up on most Moon Phase widgets PLUS it is not a javascript or java applet so it won't Hide from people when they visit the site when they have "scripts" turned off in their browser. I'm pretty proud of myself right now. But, now, it's back to work on things that bring me income. Thank you New Moon. You were Wonderful :)

Site Update - Void of Course Moon Dates

Oy is me in the updates department.  Sometimes, I fall behind faster than I can catch up. But, just to let you all know, there is a new Void of Course Dates Table that is time adjustable for different time zones around the world. The table shows the current and the next month of Lunar Void of Course information. The Moon's transit, being fairly quick through all the signs, tends to have approximately 13 Void of Course periods each month. Some are mere minutes long, while others can last a day or two. Go to the Moon Tracks website to read all about the Void of Course Moon.

Mars and Mercury Extreme Declinations 2010

The Sun's transit sets the standard for North and South outlaying declination paths with the Tropic of Cancer and the Tropic of Capricorn. The Summer and Winter Solstices are the apexes of the declinations. While the Sun's transit has its limits, most of the other planets do not, and they routinely move past the Tropics of Cancer and Capricorn while transiting (from the Earth's perspective). When planets move past these lines, the terms extreme declination or out of bounds will frequently be attached to the placement. 

Starting in November, 2010, the planets of Mercury and Mars will transit beyond the Tropic of Capricorn in the Southern Hemisphere for approximately a month, and a month and a half, respectively. These energies are typically associated with added stress on our lives. We feel like we are being overwhelmed with too much of something, but not really able to put our finger on what it is that is overwhelming us.  Those of us who have planetary placements past the 13th degree of Sagittarius and before the 13th degree of Capricorn are also more inclined to feel the confusing energies take hold with this particular November/December transit.  There tends to be a feeling of vulnerability and hopelessness.  Try to stay away from medications or drugs that can add to the confusion.

You can find more information at Moon Tracks' Declinations page under the Ephemerides section.
