Crescent & First Quarter Moon

January 22 Monday
The Pisces Moon enters her crescent phase at 6:22 am, MST. By this stage in the lunation cycle some new awareness may have taken shape yet more needs to be done with it. It may be best to give it plenty of attention, especially if it addresses the truth of your inner knowing and helps you to distinguish your beliefs from others’ viewpoints. Think of this as a day to confront your deepest truths. A Pisces Moon can be extremely psychic. We can use her to slip through the veils that separate us from other layers of consciousness. Relax and be reflective.

January 23 Tuesday
With Tuesday’s Aries Moon we can courageously rebel against imprinted belief-systems and restore a spiritual attunement that feels like it is personally ours. The challenge is to allow oneself to get fired up about venturing into unknown inner realms. This can be done through different meditation techniques or through types of hypnosis. Boldly explore the depths of your motivation. Sometimes it is a struggle to find one’s personal truth, to be fully aware of spiritual self-knowledge that fuels one to stick with a course of action with robust faith.

January 24 Wednesday
The Aries Moon guides us in snatching opportunities to introduce some new element into our lives that supports a feeling of being inspired. It could be as simple as starting a perpetually lit candle in your room or setting a routine time to listen to an inspirational song or speech. Seek experiences that reveal your emotional depth and that channel it to the surface to propel you along with exuberant energy. Allow your inner potential to be at the center of your attention. It can help you make the best of each moment and move with what clicks with you.

January 25 Thursday
We have a Taurus Moon entering her first quarter phase at 4:01 pm, MST. It’s time to decide whether or not you can give your all to discovering a way to get from your present connection to your inner knowing to another dimension of interaction with the mysterious in you. This may involve some untangling of emotional complications and projections to attain what is true and lasting within you. The action of this Moon phase is focused inward to draw upon inner resources, spiritual ones, that uphold your beliefs and support you in fulfilling your destiny.

January 26 Friday
The Taurus Moon bears a whimsical sensitivity that can supply us with both rational and psychic insights, and perhaps even an overwhelming desire to know God/Goddess/All That Is. Today’s thoughts and feelings can uncover blessings and breakthroughs that we can act upon and use to plot our next moves. Remember, the pearl of great price is to achieve oneness, to integrate ego with the all encompassing self. Listen to MoonWise tomorrow on the worldwide web at ksfr.org from 1:00 to 1:30 pm, MST, for the weekend Moon Minute.

January 27 Saturday
After an hour of being void of course this morning, the Moon, aware of what is not, entered information-seeking Gemini at 10:10 am, MST. This sign can mobilize us to perceive how we would prefer things to be. Such an observation can help us make adjustments that bring us a certain satisfaction. On Sunday block out worry, and focus on co-ordinating efforts that can get you through any crisis. Circumstances can test your preferences and how far you are willing to go for them. Do they cultivate the needs of your soul?
