Crescent and First Quarter Moon

November 8 Monday
With Monday’s Sagittarius Moon we may need to put out some effort to see the bright side of how things interconnect. It may seem like an uphill journey to get clarity. Sagittarius is happy-go-lucky and often doesn’t notice the obvious. It’s hard to pay attention to details in the area of life heated by Sag. This sign doesn’t want to get too deeply involved with situations that are restrictive. What we need today is a spirit of adventure to foster an investigation into the ways in which you stay plugged into your buddies and the stuff you collect. What are the inner values that make up your social glue?

November 9 Tuesday
The Moon is voiding herself of the wide-angle lens of Sagittarius this morning. At 6:37 am, MT, she moves into the built-to-last world of Capricorn. And at 10:41 am the Capricorn Moon enters her crescent phase. From now through Friday we need to give our attention to some impulse that has emerged with this new cycle and figure out what is needed next. The mature and responsible Capricorn part of us may be able to work out what is required. But still the heavy-duty traditional rituals of our lives are natural inclinations for Capricorn. So it may take a heavy dose of force to not retreat into old familiar ways.

November 10 Wednesday
The Capricorn Moon is in take-charge mode and is tested by some internal brooding this morning. There’s lots to get done, and it’s all doable, especially if we go on automatic pilot and use the processes we have found most effective in the past. The key is not to become enslaved by those socialized activities that undermine the individual and her ability to maintain a degree of autonomy. It is important for the individual to stay on top and carve out a path that preserves her personal style. This calls for guardedness in the midst of myriad interactions. One’s vision of greater collective operations must include the brilliance of one’s personal contributions.

November 11 Thursday
This Capricorn Moon offers clear thinking about reality and how it might progress. At 12:57 pm, MT, the Moon goes void of course, shoveling off the remnants of truth-seeking Capricorn for almost three hours. During this time we may be confused about what can be changed. But at 3:32 pm, the Moon moves into the collective, systemic world of Aquarius where detailed inner knowledge comes to the rescue. Aquarius knows how to update things while maintaining the integrity of order from one level to another. Strategic interactions require an overview of complexities that Aquarius has the potential to superbly perform.

November 12 Friday
With this Aquarius Moon we can be extremely alert, observant in the midst of diversity. So much so, that we can easily gauge the level at which we are operating and whether or not it can assist us in rising above our present performance. This props us up as past achievement levels are unacceptable. Renewing energy comes from a different level of freedom that applies new insights and enhances independence. 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 13 Saturday
The Aquarius Moon moved into her first quarter phase this morning. It’s time for action to develop a new direction for some habit. To do that in this cycle, we need to go outside of typical parameters to find an inward, emotional sensitivity that lights up and brightens our soul. During the night the Moon leaves the open-endedness of Aquarius and moves into the engulfing feelings of Pisces. On Sunday our heads may swell with options to be decided upon regarding opportunities that await us. Multiple activities abound, and sudden reversals astound us. Pisces is easily captivated by stimuli.
