Crescent and First Quarter Moon

Monday October 27 The Sagittarius Moon moves into her crescent phase at 8:53 am, MT. During this phase we can realize that there is more to do and partake in as we broaden our experience in this lunation by responding to the impulses and insights received since last Thursday. This requires cooperative projects to get over bumps in the road. At 10:18 am, the Moon goes void of course until tomorrow morning. While the Moon is smothering the growth spurts of Sagittarius, it’s a good time to declare a holiday and retreat to a quiet space to revisit the inner codes of conduct one uses as a guide for living. Expanding one’s social involvement may require adhering to ideal principles. Tuesday October 28 This Capricorn Moon reflects on the consequences of our efforts to engage in a structure or institution which exists as a concrete expression of social values. Preparing mentally for sharing another level of participation in community can produce precious possibilities to move toward a deeper emotional experience. Many encounters with others, whether of like mind or not, offer the chance to explore the depths of our commonality. Understanding how things operate beneath the social facades can lead to building enduring relationships. Capricorn can integrate dynamics and set sensible standards for progress. Wednesday October 29 With this Capricorn Moon team effort is required when working with peers. Otherwise it’s futile to anticipate desired results. There’s strength in comradeship. Group efforts are taking shape around missions aimed at big improvements. There are many ways to watch and analyze the behavior of an organization. It doesn’t matter if it’s tightly or loosely structured. In either case there can be factions arguing and some members behaving like automatons. The flames of inspiration can mobilize just about anyone. Ready or not, creative imagination can produce solutions which bring about alignment with trying to get a wider perspective on social conditions. Thursday October 30 The Moon is voiding herself of responsive Capricorn until 7:52 am, MT, when she moves into the equality consciousness of Aquarius. There’s a part of us represented by this sign where previously unconscious ideas bubble to the surface like leaves slapped to a window by the wind. We can’t miss them. For the most part, they have a ring of truth about them. Tonight at 8:48, MT, the Moon enters her first quarter phase when we need to change our orientation of repeating old ways and focus on something innovative. The Aquarius in us needs to switch from observing established expressions of values to taking action which raises awareness about our ideals. Friday October 31 The Aquarius Moon indicates intuitive probing into unusual social habits which can strangely bring about improvements. Traditional teachings and behaviors can be drawn upon and integrated with heartfelt impulses to create something new. Today we get a sense of how open we are to expanding our consciousness. Sticking to past experiences and standards will only bring disappointment. Aquarius seeks adjustments which support loyalty to one’s individuality. Progress can be challenging. 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 1 and 2 We’re halfway through autumn, and the Moon leaves the high hopes of Aquarius for the compassion of Pisces at 10:37 am, MT. Emotions can be volatile today, especially in group activities. Enthusiasm, moreover, is contagious in gatherings which offer an expansive view of present conditions. Sunday begins with a feeling of well being and protection. Social engagement provides insights and wisdom which can trigger a euphoric high. We can harness this energy to speak out about our social ideals and dreams for a better future. Pisces genuinely longs for an all-inclusive, all-accepting harmony which requires a purging of abuses done to others.
