Gibbous and Full Moon

June 17 Monday The Libra Moon can be adept at diplomacy. It’s ideal for developing expertise in dealing with tense situations. Today disruptions can disturb pleasant arrangements. Investigating upheavals can lead to neutralizing the underlying tensions and avoiding an explosive temper tantrum. When Libra achieves the balance, ideal for this zodiac sign, there’s the gift of seeing the full picture. All sides are considered. What is obviously due to passing fancies can be let go of; whatever is out of place, or just plain wrong can be dismissed. Resolving, reconciling, and peace-making is Libra’s wisdom. June 18 Tuesday The Libra Moon can be a cultural bridge, bringing the wisdom of people throughout the ages into our present daily lives. Sometimes that suggests the need to go outside of laws to do the right thing to avoid injustice. Laws and justice are not synonymous for Libra. There’s an area in this often rational, intellectual sign equivalent to the heart. At best Libra brings us a collaboration of mind and heart. To find this within ourselves today, we need to banish intolerance, double standards, and pretentious behavior. There’s plenty of exuberance to bridge any chasm, no matter the struggle. June 19 Wednesday With this Scorpio Moon we might find ourselves probing issues around blocks in our thinking process. Scorpio often challenges the status quo of something it wants to improve, and during this lunation it’s zooming in on thoughts, conversations, and learning skills. Brighter possibilities motivate aspirations for excellence. Confidence and exuberance permeate the day! Any doubts can be used as a lifesaver to bring one to a better space. Thoughts of victimization need to be fought off to feel the strength which Scorpio offers. Scorpio looks for and interprets the underlying reality of one’s attitudes. June 20 Thursday This Scorpio Moon presents a calm, quiet surface, but deep within, emotions are churning. Scorpio is good at hiding things or keeping secrets, even when patience is being tested. Today there’s a feeling of purpose which can transcend inconveniences. This comes with the gibbous phase which began after midnight. At 1:16 pm, MT, the Moon goes void of course until tomorrow. While she is draining off the intense passion of Scorpio, we can mull over unsubstantiated fears and dream up new outlooks. This is a good time for exploring our inner landscape. The Scorpio part of us can face criticism with detachment. At 11:04 pm, the Sun moves into Cancer. Happy Summer Solstice! June 21 Friday The bright upbeat Sagittarius Moon makes the first day of summer cheery! Sagittarian optimism is capable of finding enjoyment no matter the level of lightness. Enthusiasm is contagious today. And there’s excitement to cultivate positive attitudes. In the midst of such celebratory energy, however, fulfillment of one’s needs can be draining. Unrealistic expectations can bring disappointment. Sagittarius’s inflated outlook can bring on the blues. Listen to MoonWise tomorrow on the worldwide web at ksfr.org from 2:00 to 2:30 pm, MT, for the weekend Moon Minute. June 22 Weekend The Sagittarius Moon brings many options for Saturday. Fitting criteria for choosing could include increasing wisdom, gathering opinions from others, and exploring something new. After midnight the Moon voids herself of adventurous Sagittarius and moves into deeply thoughtful Capricorn. Sunday at 5:32 am, MT, we have a full Moon beginning a phase of revealing how we materialize our hopes and wishes for behaving wisely. We may begin to see how our beliefs guide our actions in moving through different levels of experiences. Our perceptions can be keen today, penetrating through externals to some core assumptions.
