Balsamic to New Moon

Monday January 4 The Scorpio Moon urges sharing plans to improve interactions in a group. Persuasive powers can be enhanced with this Moon. There’s powerful emotional motivation to be open to new experiences today, and they’ll be more enjoyable if ego-attachments to a social role are left behind. The Scorpio area of one’s life often wants to display only its best attributes, and takes protective measures when vulnerable. Being a bit out of control at this time, however, can be an open doorway to improvement. Scorpio longs for the intimacy and power of fellowship, but it can only be achieved by stripping off pretentious stances and opening up one’s heart to others. Tuesday January 5 This morning the Scorpio Moon offers various insights into the virtues of expressing what one really thinks at a gut level, even if it goes against people’s expectations. With Mercury going retrograde at 6:06 am, MT, it’s beneficial to examine what one knows about social participation and share it. At 10:47 am, the Moon goes void of course for thirteen hours of purging the secrecy of Scorpio. During this time we can advance in self-empowerment by avoiding manipulation and exploitation and by following one’s heart in giving others what they want when possible. At 11:56 pm, the Moon moves into far-reaching Sagittarius. Wednesday January 6 At 12:43 MT, this morning, the Sagittarius Moon entered her balsamic phase when all of one’s past experiences in group endeavors are needed to envision being a part of an ideally creative, productive team. Expanding consciousness on this matter requires examining one’s psychological processes and assumptions which support novel ways of participating with others. It will take dedicated efforts to realize utopian dreams for social interactions. It’s important to consider what is worth pursuing with others and how loyal one can be to a common cause. Good things can happen with the support of a committed bunch of people. Thursday January 7 With this Sagittarius Moon come impulses to decide what one really wants out of the complex processes of social engagement. There can be amazing self-realizations which can inspire one to exit a problem area in which one is victimized by the influence of others. This does not mean abandoning moral obligations. There can still be a commitment to fulfill them but on one’s own terms. Intuition may suggest fresh, more beneficial alternative ways of carrying out promises. At 7:44 pm, MT, the Moon goes void of course until tomorrow morning. While she is clearing off the spiritual aspirations of Sagittarius, Jupiter goes retrograde, suggesting we work at reviewing the beliefs of our personal inner world over the months ahead. Friday January 8 The void of course Sagittarius Moon, during the early morning hours, emphasizes an otherworldly nature and the wisdom of retreating from external engagement. At 8:07 am, MT, the Moon moves into Capricorn and its dedication to what is genuine. There’s encouragement to pursue the hidden psychological factors that motivate involvement in group endeavors. The simple pleasures of social exchanges evoke emotional changes. Images of new social possibilities skip through our minds and send smiles to our faces. 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 January 9 and 10 Today’s Capricorn Moon presents deep longings for revolutionary, transformative engagement with others. There can be over-extended caring for people. At 6:31 pm, MT, we have a new Moon beginning a cycle about how all of our individual faculties seek to be in harmony with spirit. Our minds want to consume everything and distill spiritual experience. On Sunday at 10:39 am, the Moon goes void of course for almost three hours of hypersensitivity. At 1:23pm, the Moon moves into the intuitive guidance of Aquarius, challenging us to spontaneously act according to our essential nature.
