New and Crescent Moon

February 11 Monday This Pisces Moon offers a gentle ride on the waves of human relationships which we merge into when we leave the comfort zone of familiars. Social skills get tested. The Moon goes void of course at 10:03 am, MT, until tomorrow evening. While the Moon is cleansing herself of sometimes gullible Pisces, we may need to be reminded that not everyone or everything that is beautifully packaged is good for us. Pisces can sometimes be all-accepting without losing a sense of individuality, but sometimes the stimulation is too much, kicking off an over-reaction. The power of suggestion is strong today. February 12 Tuesday With this void of course Pisces Moon, problems with victimization, force, exclusion, connivance, domination, or even black magic may appear. There’s also hidden strength to solve or even heal these issues. Indeed, it’s a day to work miracles, especially with some invisible companions. Through communicating with supernatural forces that one believes in, it is possible to access an inner sanctum of magical connections which can turn the day into a serendipitous experience. At 6:51 pm, MT, the Moon moves into impulsive, sometimes wild Aries. February 13 Wednesday With this Aries Moon we can quickly slip out of one world and into another. The inner realm entices us with promising insights. At 1:45 pm, MT, the Moon enters her crescent phase, when we need to hold on to the impulses we’ve felt this week to explore our need to be inventive. Figuring out what to do next may be a struggle well worth the effort. Changes in one’s comfort zone pressure us to head in a new direction. There are many opportunities to network and get a sense of what is needed for one’s creative expression. Aries knows how to indiscriminately take every step available to advance. February 14 Thursday The Aries Moon is a youthful mind which has the flexibility and drive to retrace an action to get the best out it. The over-achiever in us can show up with this Moon and be a bit unrealistic. And yet through experimenting with untried possibilities, this part of us can make new gains with the discoveries made. With Aries’ boldness, problems can be overcome and much progress made about knowing those habits which keep us within the boundaries of our socialization and which take us over and beyond such walls. The Moon voids herself of assertive Aries from 8:35 pm, MT, until early tomorrow morning. February 15 Friday The Taurus Moon prefers to follow the natural course of events. Old crystallized patterns of resisting or dealing with innovation seem to no longer be effective. Taurus can bring dedication to relentlessly pursuing ways to transform these habits. Persistent effort can lead to a clear decision about clinging to old ways or releasing them. We need to check out possibilities for creative expression and understand what is required. Listen to MoonWise tomorrow on the worldwide web at ksfr.org from 2:00 to 2:30 pm, MT, for the weekend Moon Minute. February 16 Weekend This Taurus Moon brings out our capacity for hard work and perseverance. Today a decision needs to be made about whether or not to pursue changing the way we deal with the confinements put upon us when we recreate, innovate, or advance our cultural skills. On Sunday at 1:31 pm, MT, the Moon enters her first quarter phase, the time to act upon one’s mindset about such boundaries. It’s time to speciously displace one’s concern for such a space. The Moon goes void of course at that time, as well, for a little over an hour of shaking off the physical concerns of Taurus. At 2:50 pm, the Moon moves into mentally alert and ready Gemini.
