First Quarter and Gibbous Moon

October 6 Monday
Monday’s Capricorn Moon brings conviction and stamina to exert oneself in uncovering basic facts that contribute to a pleasant social environment. Our inner thoughts are tuned into interweaving events that trigger us to align with the values and meanings we espouse and protect. Over-confidence in personal views may lead to over-interpretation of their significance. We need to recognize the benefits of maintaining a balanced perspective between acknowledging constructive, unifying forces and those energies that are destructive and fragmenting.

October 7 Tuesday
The Capricorn Moon entered her first quarter phase ea rly this morning, a time to show behavior leading to some objective one wishes to attain through generous-spirited actions done with pure intentions. Keep in mind that acts of generosity are not seen or defined in the same way by everyone. This may call for abandoning old patterns and assumptions and attuning to interruptions in the subtleties of daily demands for unmistakable signs of what is needed to progress. The Moon begins to void herself of solidifying Capricorn at 1:37 pm, MT, until tomorrow morning, leaving the path ahead unclear.

October 8 Wednesday
At best, the void of course Capricorn Moon can bring some ideal into a concrete form this morning if one’s intentions are clear. At 10:03 am, MT, the Moon moves into open-ended Aquarius. This sign is well aware of the many tangents the future can take, and these stormy times can wipe out the ordinary knowledge we use to navigate life. Strong emotions can activate those parts of us that have been slumbering that want to leap forward on alternative paths. Blending in with the same old behavior has taken us to the bottom where we can kick against it and turn ourselves around to head toward a better place.

October 9 Thursday
This Aquarius Moon reminds us to take in as much as we can of opposing points of view to see the various levels we humans are operating on and discern where there may be tunnel vision. Excessively strong emotional criticism of someone’s opinions can be a red flag that there may be some projection involved. The way to uncover the truth is through self disclosure, revealing the layers of one’s thinking and examining them from different vantage points to gain insight into limitations and mutual understandings. Seen and unseen issues of the heart may surprisingly be stimulated.

October 10 Friday
Friday’s Aquarius Moon awakens us to visions of getting outside of our safety zone. That may oddly happen by dreaming ourselves into a new reality through communion with more advanced beings. Can we surrender to such a possibility? The Moon voids herself of the ever-expanding field of Aquarius from 5:13 pm, MT, until 7:31 pm, when she moves into all-embracing Pisces where we can anticipate some sudden discoveries. Listen to MoonWise tomorrow on the worldwide web at ksfr.org from 2:00 to 2:30 pm, MT, for the weekend Moon Minute.

October 11 Saturday
The Pisces Moon entered=2 0her gibbous phase early this morning. This is a time to allow our imaginations to play along with what is developing and not ignore its potential. Flowing with whatever is working can produce desired results while encouraging the worst with anticipation, can gridlock one in a self-made prison. Motivate well-being by structuring Saturday with an inward focus on ideals and compassion. Sunday may awaken us to a synthesis of everyday needs that are united with the mystifying presence of grace. This may be most palpable if we deal with trust issues.
