Full and Disseminating Moon

August 23 Monday
This Aquarius Moon is keen on tracking what is changing and noting every detail with an inclination to infuse each with a spark of passion. Aquarius offers the discipline needed to bring myriad behaviors into a mosaic that displays one’s process for experimenting and questioning, as well as anticipating the results. Often the Aquarian line of enquiry seems off the subject, but it is as if it has gone fast forward to snatch pieces of information that only later will be recognized as fitting. It’s time to put together all that has been noted about the interrelation of one’s learning behavior, instinctual reactions, and one’s wisdom.

August 24 Tuesday
The Moon voids herself of calculating Aquarius this morning until 8:11 am, MT, when she moves into the elusive realm of Pisces. At 11:05 am, we have a full Moon beginning to reveal how we feel about our reactions to information from authority figures. Are we mostly secretive about our emotional responses, or do we expose them publicly? Does safety matter in expressing our feelings? Are we victims of our teachers, our mentors, our so-called experts? Do we use them to rescue us or liberate us? And what role does our own experience play in the process of discovery? With this full Moon we can see what is powerfully vital in ourselves.

August 25 Wednesday
With this Pisces Moon, if we take the time to sort out our feelings, we may see how some of our behaviors are interdependent not only on our execution of them but on others who trigger them. Pisces by nature is emotional and all-inclusive, finding parts of herself in anything and everyone. Pisces identifies with the teacher and the learner, the hunted and the hunter. Pisces feels how they are one and the same. Each of us has this attribute of Pisces in some area of our lives, merging parts with counterparts, the lover and the beloved, the healer and the wounded, the thinker and the idea, the creator and the creation. And thus it is with polarities.

August 26 Thursday
This Pisces moon brings revelations about necessary changes. It seems as if our subconscious mind has erupted like a volcano into our consciousness. We can be bursting with possibilities. Those that are essential will stay with us. The only limitations are those created by the boundaries of our awareness. Is it perceptive of external and internal stimuli? Pisces covers the extremes of shallow to unfathomable depths. This manifests in states of being under a spell as if possessed, or being on automated pilot as if hypnotized, or being encapsulated in a transcendent mystical space.

August 27 Friday
The Moon moved into single-minded Aries last night. Our focus may be to wrap our minds around the full implications of how we maneuver through our relationships with those in charge. Discovering one’s own capacities brings us closer to understanding the human condition and what motivates us. Retrograde Mercury mirrors minds exploring deep inner stirrings, and the Aries Moon can take us directly there to examine our mental reality. Listen to MoonWise tomorrow on the worldwide web at ksfr.org from 2:00 to 2:30 pm, MT, for the weekend Moon Minute.

August 28 Saturday
Saturday’s Aries Moon brings feelings of being about to enter a new phase, and that is exactly what the Moon does at 1:36 pm, MT. She goes into her disseminating phase, urging us to put out information that demonstrates the impact of a lesson learned this month. This may involve getting off of the repetitive merry-go-round of certain habits to find a new freedom. Early Sunday morning the Moon voids herself of experimenting Aries and moves into easily contented Taurus at 8:35 am, MT. This sign often lets things unfold naturally. Drawing from inner resources can assist in handling complex needs.
