Crescent and First Quarter Moon

Monday November 4 Since last night the Moon has been voiding herself of Scorpio’s intuitive perceptions of the good and bad in humans. While she is still draining off the murky waters of Scorpio until this afternoon, it is a good time for any type of purification. At 1:14 pm, MT, the Moon moves into the multi-cultural world of Sagittarius. Yet we may feel uncomfortable interacting with strangers or people whose intentions are covert. Putting forth those remarkable traits most familiar to us is best, as well as making one’s presence known. Surprising opportunities await us if we get in tune with others. Tuesday November 5 This Sagittarius Moon brings encouragement to embark on a new journey. Sagittarius sometimes prefers the inner trips to the outer ones. This morning we may struggle with directing our feelings to take any external action, as the Moon goes void of course at 9:48 am, MT, until tomorrow afternoon. Such a state of uncertainty suggests we don’t take on too much today. The Sagittarius in us may demand ease and comfort. Passive activities are best for the day, like reading or anything which allows the mind to wonder into foreign territory, checking out other-worldly things.

The reality of emotional and cultural roots of assumptions about human interactions can suddenly burst into our awareness. Many associations can be made, and the Capricorn Moon offers determination to figure out how to proceed. There’s an elusive pleasure in social engagement today. Many of the exchanges exhibit attention-getting behavior to study. The Capricorn in us can swing from being too harsh and intolerant to excessively accommodating while examining behavior.
