Last Quarter and Balsamic Moon

Monday November 25 The Moon is in Virgo revealing spiritual and practical aspects of long-time relationships which have weathered trials. At 12:28 pm, MT, the Moon enters her last quarter phase. Confidence in one’s understanding of what has been revealed in this cycle is needed. It’s time to take responsibility for some social behavior and act in such a way that works out differences encountered in groups and encourages mutual acceptance. Some of us may think there’s only one way to do this, and it can be exacerbated by a tendency to withhold information today and encourage others to do the thinking. Tuesday November 26 With this Virgo Moon safety and comfort are found in accessing knowledge from deep within oneself. This may entail opening up to the influence of one’s psyche and allowing information to flow forth with every exhale. There may be a tendency to withdraw to thoroughly process what come s to mind. But in the late afternoon company may be sought. There are plenty of group enterprises to eagerly participate in this afternoon. It takes little effort to get drawn into a social activity, especially if it promises to get one out of a rut. It’s time to value one’s judgments and act on them. Wednesday November 27 The Virgo Moon is void of course until mid-afternoon. While she is sweeping off the prodding details of earthy Virgo, we may become lost in minutia and wander into daydreaming states. At 2:59 pm, MT, the Moon moves into the realm of Libra where she strives to put things into an orderly context. Internal messages suggest balancing out differences by acquiring some new skills and breaking free of some old attitude. Much information regarding one’s emotional states can be taken in by open-minded people. Heart-to-heart encounters can help re-evaluate one’s social and emotional responsibilities. It takes more than good intentions to change negative behavior. Thursday November 28 With a Libra Moon on Thanksgiving Day, we might hold onto a notion of an ideal holiday. Yet this bearer of harmony is met with tension to throw out tradition and generate something new. There is also a tug of war with originality. Instead of pushing to create the perfect expected dinner, it may be best to simply promote a higher harmony which could be peace in one’s heart no matter what shows up. By balancing emotional needs in today’s situations, we can ease unsettling moments. Also changing one’s frame of reference or plans, can help to attune to a focus on gratitude for what is. Happy Thanksgiving! Friday November 29 The Libra Moon went void of course early this morning until tonight. During the day while she is relaxing and releasing the social value of Libra, we may be very open to others, yearning a feeling of belonging. To fulfill this it’s easy to be compliant and even gullible. At 8:00 am, MT, the Moon enters her balsamic phase when we need to envision and welcome inspirations for new approaches to living a balanced life. At 9:03 pm, the Moon moves into insightful Scorpio. Listen to MoonWise tomorrow on the worldwide web at ksfr.org from 2:00 to 2:30 pm, MT, for the weekend Moon Minute. Weekend November 30 and December 1 With this Scorpio Moon come deep impulses for change and innovation. The Moon returns today to where she eclipsed the Sun almost a month ago. During this time we may feel drawn into other’s experiences and transported to a space of communion. On Sunday we may seek socializing for the sake of it and for seeing how we measure up in maintaining affable connections with people from very different backgrounds. Sunday afternoon is ideal for putting oneself into the flow of social interactions. At 6:34 pm, MT, the Moon begins to void herself of Scorpio’s intimacies for five hours before moving into integrating Sagittarius.
