Episode 156. The Moon spends about two and a half days in a sign. The Moon can indicate emotions, daily routines, and the mood of the public.
Let’s go through each sign:
Aries - When the Moon is in Aries, the energy is high and folks are feeling optimistic. This is your best day to start new things. Take a risk, be decisive, and get ready to move at the speed of light. Also: speak up and lead. Watch out for impulse and aggression.
Taurus - When the Moon is in Taurus, the pace slows down. Security and luxury may both play a role in this day. Find the balance between saving for the future and treating yourself. Cook nourishing meals, organize your home, take care of practical matters, and put pampering on the schedule. Watch out for stubbornness and grudge matches.
Gemini - When the Moon is in Gemini, mental energy is elevated. This day is excellent for running errands, studying, writing, catching up with friends, and reading all the books. You may be more social than usual too. Watch out for restlessness and a tendency to scatter yourself in too many directions.
Cancer - When the Moon is in Cancer, it’s truly at home because the Moon rules Cancer. Security is the driving force and you may be more focused on home and family. Get your nest in order, spend time with loved ones, take care of your elders or children. Emotions are strong - and so is intuition. Follow your gut and be sensitive to other people’s feelings as well as your own. Watch out for moodiness and a tendency to cling.
Leo - When the Moon is in Leo, life feels fun! This is an excellent day for play, showing off, and adorning yourself in all the glittery things. Leo rules the heart so be sure to follow yours as much as possible. Express your feelings with big, bold gestures and above all, don’t play small. Watch out for drama or a tendency to hog the spotlight.
Virgo - When the Moon is in Virgo, it’s time to take care of all the little things. Handle the details, declutter your home, organize plans, and clean up your act. A practical, service-oriented approach is best in all matters. This is also a fabulous day for upgrading your health regimens. Mental activity is strong and a desire for routines may lead to lots of fretting over the small stuff. Watch for a tendency to get hung up on perfectionism.
Libra - When the Moon is in Libra, the energy becomes harmonious and balanced. You can create beauty in any area of your life. Tend to your most important relationships - you can strengthen them now. Also: Libra is associated with justice, making this the perfect day to speak up if you see injustice anywhere. Diplomacy and tact are needed if you’re trying to negotiate deals. This is not a great day for decision-making as this lunation tends to create analysis paralysis and people-pleasing vibes. You’ll also want to watch out for passive-aggressiveness in yourself and others.
Scorpio - When the Moon is in Scorpio, you can get to the bottom of things. Intuition allows you to see through every situation. In other words, your bullshit detector operates on full volume today. Feelings tend to be intense and may lean toward the dramatic. While this can add excitement to the day, anger can boil over, and brooding needs to be avoided. This is an excellent Moon for handling finances, getting laid, and enjoying some alone time. You’ll want to watch out for jealousy and vindictiveness.
Sagittarius - When the Moon is in Sagittarius, we’re all feeling jovial and restless. This is your day to roam, travel, and broaden your horizons. Why sit still when there is so much to see and do? Truth and freedom vibrate strongly this day - be ready to take a stand if you witness something unethical going down. Seek adventures and be sure to have fun! Above all, remain spontaneous as you never know when some interesting new opportunity may arise. Watch out for hypocrisy or a tendency to push your beliefs on others.
Capricorn - When the Moon is in Capricorn, you can get so much done. Create a plan of action, organize your tools, and keep going! Be ambitious! Big goals can be accomplished today if you stay on it. This is also your best day to revamp the structures in your life, especially around your career and finances. Look at the long term and plan accordingly. Watch out for materialism and a tendency to put ambitions above people. Also: don’t be too serious. Lighten up.
Aquarius - When the Moon is in Aquarius, it’s a wonderful time to connect with friends. Attend gatherings, throw a party, or meet up for lunch. Also, other types of group activities may be attractive now, especially those with humanitarian goals. Get involved in a worthy cause and start creating an inclusive future. Logic rules now, making it easier to solve problems while remaining objective. You may be drawn to unusual experiences as well. This is a favorable day for updating your technology.

The Burden
The Burden is a documentary series that takes listeners into the hidden places where justice is done (and undone). It dives deep into the lives of heroes and villains. And it focuses a spotlight on those who triumph even when the odds are against them. Season 5 - The Burden: Death & Deceit in Alliance On April Fools Day 1999, 26-year-old Yvonne Layne was found murdered in her Alliance, Ohio home. David Thorne, her ex-boyfriend and father of one of her children, was instantly a suspect. Another young man admitted to the murder, and David breathed a sigh of relief, until the confessed murderer fingered David; “He paid me to do it.” David was sentenced to life without parole. Two decades later, Pulitzer winner and podcast host, Maggie Freleng (Bone Valley Season 3: Graves County, Wrongful Conviction, Suave) launched a “live” investigation into David's conviction alongside Jason Baldwin (himself wrongfully convicted as a member of the West Memphis Three). Maggie had come to believe that the entire investigation of David was botched by the tiny local police department, or worse, covered up the real killer. Was Maggie correct? Was David’s claim of innocence credible? In Death and Deceit in Alliance, Maggie recounts the case that launched her career, and ultimately, “broke” her.” The results will shock the listener and reduce Maggie to tears and self-doubt. This is not your typical wrongful conviction story. In fact, it turns the genre on its head. It asks the question: What if our champions are foolish? Season 4 - The Burden: Get the Money and Run “Trying to murder my father, this was the thing that put me on the path.” That’s Joe Loya and that path was bank robbery. Bank, bank, bank, bank, bank. In season 4 of The Burden: Get the Money and Run, we hear from Joe who was once the most prolific bank robber in Southern California, and beyond. He used disguises, body doubles, proxies. He leaped over counters, grabbed the money and ran. Even as the FBI was closing in. It was a showdown between a daring bank robber, and a patient FBI agent. Joe was no ordinary bank robber. He was bright, articulate, charismatic, and driven by a dark rage that he summoned up at will. In seven episodes, Joe tells all: the what, the how… and the why. Including why he tried to murder his father. Season 3 - The Burden: Avenger Miriam Lewin is one of Argentina’s leading journalists today. At 19 years old, she was kidnapped off the streets of Buenos Aires for her political activism and thrown into a concentration camp. Thousands of her fellow inmates were executed, tossed alive from a cargo plane into the ocean. Miriam, along with a handful of others, will survive the camp. Then as a journalist, she will wage a decades long campaign to bring her tormentors to justice. Avenger is about one woman’s triumphant battle against unbelievable odds to survive torture, claim justice for the crimes done against her and others like her, and change the future of her country. Season 2 - The Burden: Empire on Blood Empire on Blood is set in the Bronx, NY, in the early 90s, when two young drug dealers ruled an intersection known as “The Corner on Blood.” The boss, Calvin Buari, lived large. He and a protege swore they would build an empire on blood. Then the relationship frayed and the protege accused Calvin of a double homicide which he claimed he didn’t do. But did he? Award-winning journalist Steve Fishman spent seven years to answer that question. This is the story of one man’s last chance to overturn his life sentence. He may prevail, but someone’s gotta pay. The Burden: Empire on Blood is the director’s cut of the true crime classic which reached #1 on the charts when it was first released half a dozen years ago. Season 1 - The Burden In the 1990s, Detective Louis N. Scarcella was legendary. In a city overrun by violent crime, he cracked the toughest cases and put away the worst criminals. “The Hulk” was his nickname. Then the story changed. Scarcella ran into a group of convicted murderers who all say they are innocent. They turned themselves into jailhouse-lawyers and in prison founded a lway firm. When they realized Scarcella helped put many of them away, they set their sights on taking him down. And with the help of a NY Times reporter they have a chance. For years, Scarcella insisted he did nothing wrong. But that’s all he’d say. Until we tracked Scarcella to a sauna in a Russian bathhouse, where he started to talk..and talk and talk. “The guilty have gone free,” he whispered. And then agreed to take us into the belly of the beast. Welcome to The Burden.
