New and Crescent Moon

March 15 Monday
At 3:01 pm, MT, we have a new Moon in Pisces. This lunation has a theme of sorting out some potential directions based on the flow of one’s emotional life. What cyclically brings happiness and joy? Can you single out events or certain qualities of being or of energy that hold you in an ideal state or seem to lead you towards one? Over the next four days find things that bring a smile to your face. This could be looking at a loved one or a beautiful object, listening to a song, or the feeling of hugging someone. Keep tabs on the ebb and flow of your emotions and what you choose to do with them.

March 16 Tuesday
The Moon moved into experimenting Aries early this morning. We may feel compelled to allow into our lives some unusual influences that help us see our repetitive patterns in a different way. Such awareness can drive us to be fully and unashamedly who we are. At the same time we are challenged to keep in mind old wisdom about what counts. There is a harsh reality around this that may have us worrying about the worst possible outcome. It is best to focus on how to formulate this new aspect of oneself. If we power every action related to today’s insights with love, we just might endure the twists and turns and arrive at a space we’ve longed for.

March 17 Wednesday
With this Aries Moon, opinions and strong ideas dominate. Our souls are afire to go just about anywhere and experience just about anything. We can see things that are normally out of our range with a super sense of observation. What is perceived, however, may not be what it seems to be. There may in fact be nothing there even if something is insinuated. If uncertainty or vagueness keeps showing up, it may be wise to foster a cool detachment. It may be necessary to sacrifice engaging with some of the things that show up to maintain a connection with the subtle nuances of certain feelings being pursued.

March 18 Thursday
The Aries Moon is void of course, snuffing out the warmth of one’s personal space this morning. At 10:29 am, MT, the Moon moves into security-oriented Taurus. A refreshing sense of vitality is then available that we can seize to arouse our passions or our ire. There’s some internal churning that may block being in sync with one’s feelings. Re-kindling old ways of dealing with disagreeable emotions may help us move over obstacles to another level of dealing with those feelings. It is, however, important to be clear about what those emotions mean to you. The value of our emotions is immeasurable.

March 19 Friday
At 12:59 pm, MT, the Taurus Moon enters her crescent phase, a time to contrast and compare the significant emotions that have shown up since Monday so that one can decide which behaviors bring desirable states of happiness. We may need to push through some emotional storms to have emotional consistency. Wellbeing can be achieved with determination to work out any tensions. Listen to MoonWise tomorrow on the worldwide web at ksfr.org from 2:00 to 2:30 pm, MT, for the weekend Moon Minute.

March 20 Saturday
The Taurus Moon goes void of course at 1:41 pm, MT, for almost five hours of emotional confusion. During this time our imaginations can be highly creative. At 6:28 pm, the Moon moves into information-rich Gemini. On Sunday we may get a reality check on our capacity for hard work and perseverance. Sharing tasks with others or bouncing ideas off another may reveal some underlying feeling tone that can help us choose a path that sustains our happiness. Gemini can excel at making comparisons while appreciating the differences by lighting up their significance.
