Full and Disseminating Moon

January 9 Monday
This full Cancer Moon brings revelations about how we foster growth and make things or relationships greater than they were. We are given an inside view of how our bonds to others change us or of how we resist dynamics that promise to alter us. It is natural for the sign of Cancer to adapt to the company being kept even if feeling unfit or uncomfortable. The worst scenario is that we lock out what seems unmanageable in the Cancer part of our charts at this time. The full Moon phase urges us to find ways to provide for the improvement of what is revealed. The Moon voids herself of protective Cancer from 7:25 pm until 9:25pm, MT, when she moves into remodeling Leo.

January 10 Tuesday
The Leo Moon can incite a need for approval, especially about or from things or people that relate to the Leo part of our charts. Sometimes this sign lacks proper insight into its presence or performance. It depends on feedback from others to be fully self-aware. Problem-solvers and teachers are the best providers of assistance and information which can get us to abandon some obstructive habit today and perhaps restore some spiritual practice that creates growth. Leo thrives on honest self-representation. With Leo enthusiasm we can shine forth and let the good times roll.

January 11 Wednesday
This Leo Moon brings out how well we can work and play simultaneously while engaging others, getting them to join in on both levels of task and fun orientation. Our role is to activate both and then observe carefully. Instead of the applause Leo thrives on, we’ll be warmed by insights about how social rituals can provide personal growth. Many things can be magnetically brought together in the company of others, making it easy to imagine having what has been longed for and seeing the path that will bring it. We might also discover what has been preventing us from fulfilling certain wishes.

January 12 Thursday
The Moon moved into the discernment of Virgo during the night. It’s best to set priorities this morning that will enhance our self-sufficiency, build composure and help us live up to our inner needs. It’s important to consciously contain what we take for granted in our lives, all those things that are usually unnoticed. The Moon enters her disseminating phase at 3:04 pm, MT, when we are called to begin demonstrating what we have learned about how we personally grow within social structures, including how we avoid that process. Recognition of specific habits reinforces one’s willpower to maintain or eliminate them.

January 13 Friday
With this Virgo Moon come mental breakthroughs and thoughts dealing with raw honesty about some daily habits. At the same time there’s emotional confusion about them as well. We may feel driven to commit to a course of action that brings a behavior under control. Virtue and dedication need to be summoned. At 6:58 pm, MT, the Moon goes void of course, sweeping off analytical Virgo until tomorrow morning when she moves into selective Libra. Listen to MoonWise tomorrow on the worldwide web at ksfr.org from 2:00 to 2:30 pm, MT, for the weekend Moon Minute.

January 14 Saturday
The disseminating Libra Moon brings together all that is needed for good cheer, including an attitude of wanting the best for everyone. Libra wants to keep the spiritual bonds alive. To do that today we need to find ways to make our souls sing, which won’t be as easy as it sounds. On Sunday we may be preoccupied with problem-solving a serious matter. Libra is gifted with a hypercritical eye for seeing both sides of an issue. This sign considers contexts and differing perspectives. It can provide objective feedback on our experimenting with a change of habit.
