New and Crescent Moon

November 16 Monday
With the Scorpio Moon this morning it may be difficult to be grounded and practical. We may be dancing in circles as we approach the new Moon at 12:14 pm, MT. At the beginning of this cycle we are called to observe just how attached we are to some clinical, stark truths devoid of the magic of feelings. Do we embrace the darkness of mystery and follow its path through the density of powerful forces in our world? At the beginning of this lunation, 12:14 pm, the Moon goes void of course, releasing a flood of new outlooks as she cleans off the shadow elements of Scorpio until 10:22 pm.

November 17 Tuesday
The Moon is in Sagittarius giving us an Olympian view of cultural structures and events that have shaped our lives. It is up to us to penetrate the density of these fixed markers of the human condition to find those tangential points where change happens. For example, as we traverse the earth and interact with the environment, we can suddenly intuit a place where previous experience is no longer applicable, where we are mesmerized by a radical departure into unknown territory. The question is, at this threshold will we seize the opportunity to birth a new spiritual vitality and let the unknown unfold?

November 18 Wednesday
With this Sagittarius Moon there is foresight to usher in new possibilities. Taking in unfamiliar elements may be challenged by not wanting to make unusual visible spectacles. But the results may be blessings in disguise. Seeds of wondrous things not yet seen lay within us. They need our active imagination to germinate. Something in the dark inner planes cries out to us to be given light. We need to venture inward on a long distance journey, going deeper than ever before to activate some part of our unconscious mind and tease it into dancing into the light of our awareness.

November 19 Thursday
The Sagittarius Moon has been void of course since last night, pouring off gems of meanings for the theme of this cycle, having to do with finding a new external reality by looking into normally unseen factors. At 8:01 am, MT, the Moon moves into the testy ground of Capricorn. We may feel limited by the boundaries of our awareness. Deep reaching renewal is possible, but it comes when one feels lost in the swamp of impossible circumstances. We need to be tough in the midst of extreme conditions and endure for lasting results.

November 20 Friday
The Capricorn Moon enters her crescent phase at 10:56 am, MT. Struggle is the signature of this stage in the cycle. And we need to put all effort into uncovering some stark truth that we have been carrying deep inside which will help us cut loose from how we have been. Attracting what we seek may happen by gradually immersing ourselves in the streams of our secrets. The Capricorn Moon can help us take charge of even the most surprising events. Listen to MoonWise tomorrow on the worldwide web at ksfr.org from 2:00 to 2:30 pm, MT, for the weekend Moon Minute.

November 21 Saturday
With this Capricorn Moon we may think we are up against our limits as our senses are assaulted by strange perceptions. The Moon goes void of course at 8:04 pm, MT, and transitions into unconventional Aquarius at 8:11 pm, and the Sun moves into adventurous Sagittarius at 9:23 pm! Sunday the Aquarius Moon brings sudden flashes of how things can be different if we pay attention to the details. Everything we want is available. And Aquarius has a knack of upsetting the existing order so that progress can be made. Chart your course and experience the fullness of life!
