Challenging Day
Moon in Pisces oppose Saturn
When the Moon is in Pisces people are sensitive and intuition plays a part in whatever is undertaken. Strive for clarity in all communications because misunderstandings are common when the Moon is in this sign. You are likely to run into some resistance resulting in delays later today. You may have to provide additional information or revise your plans.

Mixed Day
Moon void-of-course
Moon in Taurus trine Saturn
The day begins with the Moon void-of-course until 12:33 PM eastern time. While the Moon is void people feel disconnected so this is not the best time to make important decisions. When the Moon moves into Taurus the focus shifts to practical matters like financial security. Progress is slow and people are more deliberate in their actions. Plan ahead and take your time.

Challenging Day
Moon in Gemini square Mercury
When the Moon is in Gemini information is freely exchanged. Mercury conjuncts Saturn early today making this a practical time for careful review of your plans. However expect delays and revisions as new information becomes available. Whatever you do now prepare to make a long-term commitment.

I just noticed this one. Refranation is when a faster planet tries to aspect a slower planet, but the faster planet goes retrograde. Since the Moon and Sun never go retrograde, how can it be a refranation of a sextile?

If it WAS refranation, then whatever the election is supposed to represent wouldn't take place. Thus it's a bad election. Not variable - bad.

 

Thank you for your input but you are mistaken.

A refranation sextile refers to the Moon's final aspect disregarding the refranation. This is advanced electional astrology.

Let me explain - all refranations carry the meaning that something is dropped. This can be a good thing or a bad thing and that is determined by the supporting aspect. The supporting aspect is the Moon's final aspect disregarding the refranating planet. A supporting aspect shows if an advantage will be gained or not by the fact that something or someone has had a change of heart.

Good Day
Moon in Cancer sextile Saturn
When the Moon is in Cancer people react instinctively and emotions play a key role in making decisions. Though there are bound to be some heated debates if you can overcome your differences an expansive project has strong potential to succeed. When all else fails listen to your feelings.

William Lilly Christian Astrology 1647 Chapter 19

"There's another manner of prohibition; by some properly called refrenation; as thus, Saturn in 12 degrees of Aries, Mars in 7 degrees, here Mars hastens to a conjunction of Saturn, but before he comes to the 10th or 11th degree of Aries he becomes retrograde, and by that means refrains to come to a conjunction of Saturn, who still moves forward in the sign; nothing signified by the former conjunction will ever be effected."

By the way it's condescending to say "this is advanced electional astrology" to me when you really don't know who I am or my level in study.

 

We can agree to disagree. A refranation does not necessarily mean that something will fail. It means that the person or thing represented by the refraining planet has had a change of heart. What one does under those circumstances determines the outcome. This is "free will".

Many of the more contemporary astrologers have written on this topic. But more importantly in my own experience working with electional astrology I have found that a refranation is not necessarily detrimental to the outcome of the matter. However the oucome may be different than expected.

Challenging Day
Moon in Leo oppose Neptune
When the Moon is in Leo people like the spotlight and are willing to take risks. However Venus conjunct Saturn adds to an environment of financial restraint making this a good time to trim the budget and spend wisely. Information can be inaccurate or misleading so take the time to clarify intentions all around.

Neutral Day
Moon void-of-course
The Moon is void-of-course all day beginning at 8:29 AM until 7:45 PM eastern time.* When the Moon is void-of-course we feel unconnected and without direction. It is an ideal time for introspection but not action. Judgement is faulty and new initiatives may never get off the ground. Use this time to enjoy leisurely activities.

*eastern standard time begins at 2:00 AM - all times are adjusted
