New and Crescent Moon

September 26 Monday
With the Virgo Moon void of course until tonight, our intuitive thinking faculties may be stimulated, yet it may be difficult to distinguish between the rational and the irrational. Void of course Moon time is foggy and judgment can be faulty with confusing ideas. Information from the subconscious leaks into the conscious mind sometimes causing disruptions in our ordinary way of speaking or doing things. This condition is exacerbated by Mercury in opposition to Uranus, creating more chaos by scattering energies. It’s best to give way and make room for something new. At 10:51 pm, MT, the Moon moves into calming Libra.

This Scorpio Moon uncovers different levels of knowing. There’s the one that deals with social responsibilities, obligations to groups loosely or tightly linked to. There’s the macro and micro-cosmos that sometimes startles us with reminders, such as space objects, that we are members of both small and huge realms. Today’s Moon reflects how we juggle all of our connections. The more we know, the more we succeed at that without harm. There’s plenty of information to collect that will help us explore new emotional options. We may find ourselves seeking authority figures.

At 9:42 am, MT, the Scorpio Moon enters her crescent phase when a new potential is noticed, but often there’s a struggle with some pattern rooted in the past not to pursue it. Jumping to this new level involves deserting some early conditioning. We may fear that this unexpected opportunity is an illusion. Experience is the best teacher, but is sometimes very risky. Careful maneuvering is called for to seize this chance to move into a fuller existence. Hide out after 8:18 pm, with a voiding Scorpio Moon. .

The Moon is in Sagittarius, reminding us of cultural practices for teaching and learning. Giving and receiving instruction fuel various levels of focus and expectations. By being alert this weekend, we might establish some improvements to current conditions. On Sunday, Sagittarius’s spirit of freedom gives off strange vibes to explore common bonds with unusual companions. Dares bombard us to go into uncharted territory. The atmosphere is ripe for magical thinking although some may perceive it as restless or grandiose. Lots of connections can be made but without consideration for their ramifications.
