New and Crescent Moon

December 6 Monday
With this new Sagittarius Moon we may feel like striking out to encompass all the blessings given and offered to find out what is right for us and open up a greater reality. At 2:46 pm, MT, the Moon goes void of course, extinguishing the zeal of Sagittarius for an hour and a half. During this period of time it is easy to spread oneself too wide and become ungrounded or easily seduced into impractical activities. At 4:16 pm, the Moon moves into sure-footed Capricorn, and we may find a path more in tune with our capabilities. Probe what seems to draw your attention and psych you up this evening.

December 7 Tuesday
This Capricorn Moon brings a serious tone to the day. Rock-solid thought patterns bump up against emotional debris from unresolved issues having to do with situations where one generally expects support yet none is forthcoming. An examination of one’s assumptions about common structures and one’s relationship to them provides the impetus to launch a new stage in one’s life. Capricorn offers quiet courage and principles for accepting life for what it is, up to a point. And then it pushes for taking a stand, for being the one responsible for the circumstances in one’s life.

December 8 Wednesday
With today’s Capricorn Moon, we can see beyond the emotional surges to some deeper galvanizing issues that want to be recognized. Feelings are liquid, and their persistence, like a cat meowing for attention, can wear thin any resistance to seeing what our subconscious minds would rather not look at. Pleasure can be had by getting closer to the hidden patterns and designs of our psyches. Such a venture can awaken us to a surprising view of what has been and what can be accomplished. The Capricorn Moon goes void of course at 6:07 pm, MT, shaking off the boulders that often dam up feelings, before moving into rebellious Aquarius after midnight.

December 9 Thursday
The Aquarius Moon entered her crescent phase at 4:56 am, MT. During the next four days we may feel guided and protected. An opening to powerful energy is available, and we are given free rein to leave an area of comfort to explore new forces. Unknown knowledge beckons us. Not heeding its call will leave us in ignorance. There are many parts to each of us. All of them want our attention. Attending to the ones, that whisper and shout at us today, may lead to hidden treasures. An intention to pursue all parts may seem like a need to multi-task. Not necessarily so! That just might be a metaphor for synchronizing the various dimensions in which we exist.

December 10 Friday
This Aquarius Moon conveys feeling like anything can be handled while searching for improved conditions. Mercury went retrograde this morning, emphasizing a need to go back over the way we have been thinking, interacting, and transacting during the past three weeks to reconsider troublesome exchanges and situations. Opinions and values might be seen as changing. Our senses get tuned into impulses for innovation worth developing. Listen to MoonWise tomorrow on the worldwide web at ksfr.org from 2:00 to 2:30 pm, MT, for the weekend Moon Minute.

December 11 Saturday
The Moon moved into Pisces this morning, elevating our will to serve the greater good. We have the opportunity to get to the point of this cycle of finding the hidden, mysterious connections of spiritual values. We need to be relentless in going deeper into the enduring universal principles. On Sunday our spiritual questing might require some adjustment. Detours may take us to a decision to begin a new stage of diving into the deep levels of our psyches. Pisces can help us come to terms with our past and anticipate a new level of living.
