First Quarter and Gibbous Moon

June 1 Monday
The Virgo Moon is void of course this morning, offering us a distinct opening to the inner planes if we so choose to journey there. At 9:17 am, MT, the Moon moves into harmony-creating Libra. We may feel drawn to share something, a piece of oneself, the comfort of home, some fresh ideas or something else with those identified as one’s circle of fellow travelers. What dawning realizations can you offer others that furthers the development of a fresh sense of spirit and intensifies the bonds of love, even at the risk of laying yourself open to losing some connections or triggering a power struggle in a relationship.

June 2 Tuesday
With this Libra Moon certain shared experiences can boost us forward on a different path chosen recently. They can cultivate one’s special offerings that are uniquely connected to extended spheres of protective guidance. Every encounter has meaning. If we project our expectations on them, we may distort the reality and miss the intent. It is important to be observant and impartial. What we take away from a meeting can have personal relevance, but care needs to be taken not to superimpose that on others. Among Libra’s special gifts are diplomacy and an eye and a feel for how things could be at their best.

June 3 Wednesday
With this Libra Moon we may feel emotionally drawn to all and everything, regardless of how gloomy or disappointing it may be. Such experiences nurture empathy and push one out of those judgmental thoughts of how things “ought” to be. The Moon goes void of course at 12 noon, MT, for almost five hours of releasing not only the idealistic parts of Libra but also the fickle, pretentious stuff as well. During this transitional period at 1:37 pm, the Moon enters her gibbous phase, a time to gather all of our faculties to reach a protective space in which to develop a recently discovered sense of self. The Moon moves into probing Scorpio at 4:44 pm.

June 4 Thursday
This Scorpio Moon reflects opportunities to uncover any obstacles to securing some new element of the total you. Scorpio can provide a detached analysis of what is holding you up. It strips away the cosmetics, the inessentials and finds the best things to nurture. Most important in this cycle is Scorpio’s ability to take effective self-protective measures. And today we may need shielding from destructive attributes of the status quo that don’t approve of wild detours from prescribed behaviors. And this Scorpio Moon reminds us to follow our own convictions.

June 5 Friday
The gibbous Scorpio Moon holds everything that can be inside. We too can feel powerful life forces wanting to be exposed and expressed. This is a time for deep resignation to seeing oneself anew, to understanding oneself from the inside, and to committing or re-committing oneself to the work of self-discovery. Sensitivity and intuition are heightened today and especially tonight while the Moon drains herself of uncompromising Scorpio from 8:18 pm till 2:24 am. Listen to MoonWise tomorrow on the worldwide web at ksfr.org from 2:00 to 2:30 pm, MT, for the weekend Moon Minute.

June 6 Saturday
We have a Sagittarius Moon for the weekend, taking us through a whole range of interconnected possibilities. New worlds can come into being, and Sagittarius can help us see the patterns and understand how to shift them. On Sunday at 12:12 pm, MT, we have a full Moon revealing how we protect ourselves when at the edge of very powerful forces. Complications can be eased by maintaining an openness and gravitating to commonly shared factors, which Sagittarius does well. At the same time it is important to look for differences in the social dynamics you participate in.
