New and Crescent Moon

April 8 Monday The Pisces Moon is void of course until this afternoon. While she is spraying off the elusive, encapsulated world of Pisces, we may feel thin-skinned and defenseless. It’s best to be delicate with whatever and whomever is encountered this morning. At 1:02 pm, MT, the Moon moves into striking-out Aries. We may feel heroic and get outspoken, spontaneously spouting out passion about some idea. Action can be instigated as long as one’s independence isn’t threatened. Aries can’t always be depended on. That part of us is quick to go in new directions and make new contacts. April 9 Tuesday With this free-spirited Aries Moon, we may feel like infiltrating an enticing situation. This can involve taking on the hard work of a big challenge by using one’s inner sense of direction to piece together the resources needed. Intuition can provide an uncanny certainty about one’s choices. We may feel ready to initiate a project with complex factors, but it’s best to simply stay mentally engrossed with it, continuing to add synchronous ideas to the overall scheme. This last day of this lunation is ideal for envisioning the bigger picture of emerging impulses. Aries doesn’t like being reined in and can respond aggressively or with detachment. April 10 Wednesday We have a new Moon in Aries this morning, urging us to jump into a new activity that leads to something precious. The potential button in each of us has been pushed. Do we follow the impulse to act? Do we pay attention to the feelings of promise that come with some idea? At 10:25 am, MT, the Moon goes void of course until 9:22pm when she moves into value-seeking Taurus. While she is putting out Aries’ sparks of enthusiasm, we may feel uncertain about urges to start something new. But we can notice how we respond to the chance to do that and whether or not what we do is typical. April 11 Thursday With the Taurus Moon our senses are fine tuned to the vibrancy of our physical surroundings and their emotional vibes. We can identify with the highs and lows that immediately embrace us. Most importantly today we need to check out new thoughts. Of what value are they for us personally? What can we learn by pursuing them? Will they lead to self-empowerment? Taurus seeks concrete certainty or at least solid encouragement before jumping into something new. It can help to look back over the major changes one has dealt with in life so far for the guiding principles that gave support. April 12 Friday With this Taurus Moon situations from the past emerge to be dealt with. They can suck one into them like a sinkhole, thwarting the ability to scrutinize how one makes an impact in new arenas. We may feel inhibited, as if some mysterious hand is holding us back. New avenues to expanding our consciousness can be found by examining one’s ideals in the light of present circumstances. Will you let defeat or inertia prevent a journey which can uncover personal treasures? April 13 Weekend The Moon moved into clever Gemini early this morning. With this Moon we can articulate some of the issues about how realistic it is to continue addressing new activities in one’s habitual manner or shift to a way that transcends the past. Sunday at 3:28 am, MT, the Moon enters her crescent phase when there’s a need to find the right way, time, and place to plunge into a new experience that promises rich discoveries. There are many choices making it difficult to choose. Think of this as a learning experience by comparing options and bouncing them off another person.
