How the best days are chosen

Every two to three days the Moon moves into a new sign and lights up a different area of your life. Counting your Sun sign as the first house, the days when the Moon passes through your 5th and 7th houses favour love, and the days in your 10th, 2nd and 6th houses favour work and money. The days in your 8th and 12th houses are better for rest and finishing things than for starting them.

On top of that come the aspects the planets make on each day: Venus with Jupiter or Mars warms up love, Mercury, the Sun and Jupiter support work and deals, while hard aspects from Saturn, Mars and Pluto make things harder. The hours when the Moon is void of course, the eclipses and the days a planet turns retrograde or direct are not good for new starts and lower the score.

If you know your rising sign, read the page for that sign too: it describes your houses more precisely. For the exact hour, see the void-of-course Moon calendar and planetary hours.
