Crescent Phase

September 25 Monday
We start the week with a Scorpio Moon still in her new phase, helping us grasp the complexities of Friday’s solar eclipse. Are current events indicating an excessive absorption in personal desires at the expense of failing to respond to others’ needs? Or is it the reverse? Are inescapable social obligations scattering our attention and blocking us from attending to personal goals? Examine unusual, erratic, or surprising occurrences today for clues as to how you lose yourself in thoughtless actions or in behavior that upsets your equilibrium.

September 26 Tuesday
The Scorpio Moon enters her crescent phase at 8:29 am, MDT. This stage of the lunation draws our attention to what is needed next if we have chosen to pursue an intention, a particular behavior or attitude in this cycle. With Scorpio, we can tap into and experience the changes occurring. We can gain a sense of promise regarding the direction we are taking. Choosing to ignore this advantageous information is like choosing to move forward wearing a blindfold. If we question our situations, we may avoid obstacles and delays and get in step with our own agendas.

September 27 Wednesday
The early morning may go slow yet be rich with insights with the Scorpio Moon void of course until 7:16 am, MDT, when she enters Sagittarius. This sign focuses on principles or ideals. Don’t rely too much on past principles. This waxing Sag Moon can deliver plenty of new ones. Sort through new possibilities that recent experiences suggest. Pay attention to details. Piece them together so that they form a coherent picture that you can work with to dispel ambiguity or confusion. Spend some time preoccupied with your own thoughts!

September 28 Thursday
This morning’s Sagittarius Moon suggests we act with moderation, avoiding idiosyncrasies and excesses. Integrate activities in a step by step manner to avoid chaotic demands and impatient responses. Some matters may seem childish or superficial, but appearances can be deceptive. Complicated matters can be unraveled with a straightforward approach, which can also ease the disclosure of uncomfortable truths. What is revealed today can sharpen our focus on the overall circumstances presently consuming our attention.

September 29 Friday
The Sagittarius Moon provides a tentative grasp of points that we may want to develop. Penetrating insights can stumble out of our subconscious mind while interacting with others that may mobilize our attention on pressing matters. At 2:45 pm, MDT, the Moon goes void of course for over an hour, shooting out philosophical Sagittarian ideas. At 4:01 pm, the Moon enters Capricorn, grounding us for productive action during the days ahead. Listen to MoonWise tomorrow on the worldwide web at ksfr.org from 1:00 to 1:30 pm, MDT, for the weekend Moon Minute.

September 30 Saturday
Early this morning the Capricorn Moon entered her first quarter phase. This is the most active part of any cycle. It’s a time to cease being indecisive about what to do to change ineffective behavior. It’s time to find a way to release behaviors that promote deficiencies or that split our attention dissipating it into different directions. The best Capricorn action expresses one’s spiritual identity within ordinary situations. It surpasses the illusion of separation. Sunday’s Moon provides a high level of information for planning the week ahead.
