New and Crescent Moon

December 10 Monday
This morning’s Sagittarius new Moon probes the depths of our feelings. She goes void of course at 8:36 am, MST, for over three hours. While she stripes herself of Sagittarian fervor, invisible to our eyes, we might think upon how our very being is participating in the world-matrix and how much of our heart is devoted to that role. At 11:51 am, the Moon moves into Capricorn where it may be easier to perceive the barriers we build to fully contributing all of what we have innately to give to our community. Seeing all sides of our social persona can be nerve-racking. Try to align with your authentic self.

December 11 Tuesday
With the Capricorn new Moon we may become keenly aware of what is limiting us. If we can connect with restrictive experiences today and analyze how they have or have not kept us in step with current social and global issues, we may grasp what is emerging from our subconscious mind that is deficient in our behavior and wants to be consciously dealt with during this cycle. Capricorn supports commitment to getting what we desire if we get in touch with our hidden wants. At 4:57 pm, MST, the Moon goes void of course until tomorrow night! While the Moon sheds the rigidity of Capricorn, we can can pierce the heart of our protective habits.

December 12 Wednesday
The Moon is void of course in Capricorn until tonight. This state of escaping the confinement of Capricornian structures during the new phase of the Moon can distort the reality of which defences are needed and which are not. It may be hard to be productive on any level today, even relationships seem irritating. Just surrender and relax into your situation. We are at an interface between old ways and new ways. Being uptight will only confuse matters more, and being pragmatic with what is convenient may work temporarily, but just for today. At 10:01 pm, MST, the Moon moves into progressive Aquarius!

December 13 Thursday
The Aquarius Moon enters her crescent phase at 10:00 am, MST, a time when one can be magnetically drawn to what has emerged and to what is needed next. What protective mechanisms do you use to either separate yourself from humanitarian involvement or to fully participate in social activism. Is any barrier between your private, individual image and your social image easily cracked? Or is it hard to find the openings between the two? Notice how you connect socially today. How much does commonality allow for intimate sharing; what triggers guardedness?

December 14 Friday
The Aquarius Moon marshals social energies, and we can be easily influenced by others’ needs, finding it difficult to separate our feelings from theirs. Our rational mind may come to the rescue by pointing out the differences. Seek a balance without distancing yourself from colleagues. Formalities may influence the openness and immediacy of understanding friends and being understood in return. Listen to MoonWise tomorrow on the worldwide web at ksfr.org from 1:00 to 1:30 pm, MST, for the weekend Moon Minute.

December 15 Saturday
The crescent Moon moved into Pisces early this morning, accelerating facility with any special hidden senses which can bring clarity to recent struggles. This can be an inside view of how to toss off restrictive chains and get out of some rut. We can surpass expectations and deepen our faith in our values. It’s time to cut away restraints to investigating possibilities of broadening one’s life. Imagine the most ideal innovations for the weekend. Do something that motivates you and lifts you above tensions that box you into the status quo. Unlock the lid on that box.
