First Quarter and Gibbous Moon

Monday October 19 This Capricorn Moon signals a need to deal with a troublesome condition in a relationship. Unraveling the issues involved in this situation will take keen insight and stamina to get to the core problem. If it becomes clear what is needed to ease the tension brought on by the lack of harmony and wholesomeness, improvements can be made. It’s important to exert oneself according to personal needs and challenge those who have differing views. Each of us may need to explore some extraordinary ways to demonstrate responsibility for what is happening in a social dynamic despite any criticism. Tuesday October 20 With this Capricorn Moon it’s important to reflect on what’s really going on in a relationship which has been bothersome and keeps bringing on heavy moods. At 2:32 pm, MT, the Moon enters her first quarter phase when a sense of urgency arises about how one should directly deal with any moral issues involved in a troubling social dynamic. Capricorn suggests that the highest sources of spiritual resources should be used. Disregarding nonsense and seeking the truth of the matter is recommended. At the beginning of this first quarter phase, the Moon goes void of course for five hours of plowing off the muck of the situation, especially if we retreat and seek the council of our better angels. At 7:38 pm, the Moon moves into friendly Aquarius. Wednesday October 21 The Aquarius Moon brings a keen awareness of social groups. With this sign, some part of us zeroes in on how others are socially operating, and looks at that scene from several angles to gather as much information as possible. Emotions may be held within tightly and not given an outlet. Aquarius favors a mental outlook which can uncover many facts. Such an intellectual perspective can evoke associations and give expression to the feelings involved. Knowing and having the confidence to handle social turmoil are two different things. Objectivity brings both together for Aquarius. Thursday October 22 With this Aquarius Moon we might see how a social situation unfolded into its present condition. Underhanded maneuvers come to light. Today secret information about the core reality of group entanglements is uncovered that can help to establish a pleasing social environment. It may take, however, some difficult maneuvering and pleading to bring about changes. We can quickly grasp what’s going on and be concerned about the motivation for it. Deep concentration on problems is possible with self discipline. Tonight at 10:22, MT, the Moon goes void of course blowing off the peculiar inclinations of Aquarius. At 11:18 pm, the Moon moves into the visionary abilities of Pisces. Friday October 23 With this Pisces Moon we can draw attention to the emotional stress brought on by deception or confusion within a group. Hidden facts about interactions come to one’s attention. Tensions between co-workers can be eased by actions performed in one own personal style. We can give our best to a situation and bridge any communication gap. Just let things happen step by step. The Moon goes void of course early tomorrow morning for a whole day of spaciness. 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 October 24 and 25 The Pisces Moon is void of course until after midnight. Early this morning the Moon entered her gibbous phase when we need to use all of our observations of a social condition to help us clarify the important shared values we seek in relationships. Saturday can seem like being in a dream with no sense of reality. Tasks can easily get interrupted as we might feel like we’re just meandering through the day. At 12:22 am, MT, Sunday, the Moon moves into self-expressive Aries. Shared perspectives encourage a self-referencing part of us to choose a direction to find a truth that can lead to well-being in our social connections. There can be conflicts with family or friends Sunday afternoon. Try to bridge differences.
