Disseminating and Last Quarter Moon

July 18 Monday
On this deeply emotional Pisces Moonday, our needs are great though some are secret and not freely disclosed. We may choose to appear outstanding in performance today while internally feeling conflicted by some dark truths. These foreshadow some improvements which are needed to advance. Pisces is porous like clouds. Just about anything can slip into and through them. It’s quite possible that unfinished business with one’s past shows up uninvited. Now is the time to come to terms with the past through an understanding of the whole of one’s life. Pisces is good at integrating our individual complexities.

July 19 Tuesday
Last night the Pisces Moon entered her disseminating phase when the significance of what is personally revealed to us during the lunation is learned, and the urge to convey and demonstrate it is strong. It’s time to understand the requirements and hidden needs of actualizing some new potential. Keeping attuned to the value and passion you have for this capacity can be troublesome. Waiting may be required when you want to push ahead. Besides, Pisces can be somewhat passive, coming at things second-handedly. Pisces allows for a lot of pressure up to a point and then shifts to resistance, putting its foot down.

July 20 Wednesday
The Moon is void of course, rinsing off the compliance of Pisces till midmorning. During this time it may be difficult to deal with reality. At 10:25 am, MT, the Moon moves into heroic Aries, and any striving to overcome inertia accelerates. There’s an intense urge to be different, to transcend the ordinariness of one’s usual day, to use one’s resources creatively. By getting fired up, we can boost ourselves to deal with any conflicts around holding on to some old behavior and kick into a new gear. The Aries part of us is quite capable of improvement and can develop new modes of action.

July 21 Thursday
With this Aries Moon we can single out an emerging pattern that needs to be cultivated. Self-realizations require responsibility to weigh one’s past actions in a new light and to put into practice a ritual that is coherent with this newly acquired perspective. Aries can be a bit impatient with the discipline needed to do this, but Aries treasures gains. So make a point to acknowledge any today. There’s a strong urge to forge ahead with a self makeover. Old acquaintances and friends cannot be ignored today. Participate fully and dance and sing to the tune of your own act.

July 22 Friday
This Aries Moon is full of ideas. Sharing them may be a bit challenging. It’s time to overcome obstacles and reveal some new perspective about you. The Moon goes void of course at 3:34 pm, MT, snuffing out the spontaneity of Aries for over seven hours. During this time it is best to retreat to a quiet place and reflect on current self-realizations. At 10:58 pm, the Moon moves into sensuous Taurus and four minutes later into her consciousness-changing last quarter phase. Listen to MoonWise tomorrow on the worldwide web at ksfr.org from 2:00 to 2:30 pm, MT, for the weekend Moon Minute.

July 23 Saturday
This last quarter Taurus Moon brings a feeling of being in one’s own element and having a core of great worth. Facing a truth about oneself is a celebratory moment. There are many thoughtful ways to honor oneself today. Taurus has a strong, physically creative side that engages the five senses, and this weekend is for indulging in appreciation of who we are becoming. Set aside heavy demands on Sunday which prevent an ongoing celebration. Spread good news about yourself in such a way that it encourages others to rejoice in the marvelous creatures that we are.
