Gibbous & Full Moon

May 8 Monday
This Monday morning’s Virgo Moon appreciates fine details that stand out amidst the complexities of social interactions, like a graceful gesture that shows cultural appreciation in the midst of conflict. At 11:49 am, MDT, the Moon goes void of course for over seven hours. She’s releasing the sands of Virgo, and each grain is a pearl that bears witness to one’s remarkable talents. Abandon yourself to the joy of experiencing simple, specific pleasures. At 7:10 pm, the Moon enters Libra letting us know that no matter how distinctively gifted one is, exchanging and sharing blessings has its own beauty.

May 9 Tuesday
The Libra Moon entered her gibbous phase this morning. It’s time to determine what will make a situation ideal. To find the perfect mix, tune into what is distressing you as you visualize the present scene and how it might delight you if one piece of that picture was changed. What is essential, that cannot be denied, to discover anew some happiness? This may involve a part of yourself that has been refused expression, or engagement of another person you fear will reject a proposal. Find a way to bridge the barriers and frame the constituent parts so that they are complementary.

May 10 Wednesday
Wednesday’s Libra Moon tells us that, when we are totally connected with our inner selves and all of what makes us feel worthy and secure, wonderful worlds open to us. We are on the threshold of new self-realizations, of being taken over by some strange otherness. Imagine that repressed and denied facets of your life are finding an outlet through which to express themselves. Seemingly awkward, unattainable longings may come to mind with such clarity that makes the way to fulfill them easily accessible. Close the gap between you and your desires with willful expectation.

May 11 Thursday
The early morning hours are graced with serenity from the void of course Libra Moon. At 6:24 am, MDT, She slips into Scorpio to channel its powerful reserves for constructing the means to keep up with everything that is coalescing. Many of us feel caught up in strange predicaments. Some seem called to adjust to new developments yet wish to preserve old values that may not fit. The forces being tapped into suggest unfamiliar realities that we may no longer have the luxury of easing into but may very suddenly be jolted into them. To stay out of fear, visualize the amazement of the kid in you when placed in a new playland.

May 12 Friday
If we have been tuned into our self worth and discovered some of its hidden treasures, our self-trust may experiment with new possibilities. For some of us that may be replacing old anger or disappointments with happiness, or sadness with courage, or bottled up energy with explosive exhilaration, or defeat with hope. The Scorpio Moon can guide us through the mysterious nature of our emotions and show us how they can deceive or enlighten us. Tonight’s full Moon at 12:51 am, MDT beckons us to change. Listen to MoonWise tomorrow on the worldwide web at ksfr.org. from 1:00 to 1:30 pm MDT for the weekend Moon Minute.

May 13 Saturday
The Scorpio full Moon is void of course until mid-afternoon, draining out into the open some mysterious fusion or fission that may have transpired within us. It may take several days to recognize the transitions that have occurred. Yet as the Moon enters Sagittarius at 2:56 pm, MDT, the spirit of what is coming into manifestation may be felt as an uneasy truth asking to be assimilated. Be alert on Sunday as the inner emotional realm seeks outer expression, liberated from primitive perspectives. Choose simple, natural imagery to evoke the revelations of spirit.
