Gibbous and Full Moon

April 22 Monday The usually clear-headed Virgo Moon is void of course all day, and at 4:04 am, MT, she entered her gibbous phase. While she is sweeping off well-crafted Virgo, our minds might be making many detours instead of honing in on the final bits and pieces needed to reap the treasure of a new possibility. Yet this gibbous Moon suggests we tinker around with paranormal influences, like seeking guidance from an I Ching throw. Metaphysical inspirations are associated with the otherworldliness of a voiding Moon. It’s best to let things shape up without asserting ourselves. April 23 Tuesday The usually calm, peaceful Libra Moon confronts intense turmoil today, and we may be grappling with a swirl of ideas, trying to put them into the context of whatever behavior we’re analyzing to bring forth a potential. Bringing these thoughts into the open by sharing them with someone to uncover which are importing value and which are worth tossing out, we can single out the important ideas. Many options and conclusions can be handled, but there could be a tendency to over-interpret their significance. Libra can remind us to approach deep rumblings to pick and choose with a sense of balance. April 24 Wednesday While we’re pausing this morning to think through the day’s agenda, the Libra Moon goes void of course at 6:12 am, MT, until tomorrow. It’s a perfect day for spring fever and tossing aside one’s to-do list. Our Libra part is in love with the whole world and today can desire it all. A spell of sensual pleasure draws us to nature’s beauty. Laziness is also attractive. It’s worthwhile to put aside work and concerns and just space out for a bit. Reframing reality in terms of what is rich and rewarding about it can fortify one for the crises that often come with eclipses as tomorrow afternoon is the first of 3 eclipses. April 25 Thursday The Moon moved into the dark, swampy rich sign of Scorpio early this morning. There’re restlessness and hopefulness to merge into a deeper matrix in which we attain what we’ve been going after. Our longings may be accompanied by frustration. Just as the Moon is invisible to us, so also may be accessibility to our pursuit in this cycle. The Full Moon occurs at 1:57 pm, MT, with the earth about to partially eclipse her. Obstacles might show up as clues to something in the Scorpio part of our charts that’s ripe for attention. By dealing with the problem, perhaps a flaw in behavior, or the shame which a resolution might bring, we can discover a precious trait. April 26 Friday The Scorpio Moon is void of course all day, linking to other realities in the etheric realm. The dark side of life is seemingly around every corner, reminding us of the power of our psyches. Some realizations can be overwhelming and immobilizing. Tapping one’s inner strength can provide fuel to get through gobs of muck. We can escape disappointment by accepting leaps of faith and taking the time to examine psychic insights which often accompany a voiding Moon.
