New and Crescent Moon

Monday January 11 This morning with the Aquarius Moon there may be several ways to butt heads with authority figures or be frustrated with old ways. Many minds may be coming up with new ways to go about changing social roles. Listening to others as well as the silent inner chatter responses can help one consider alternate explanations of how people interact. There can be sudden outbursts today, and it’s important to know when to remain silent with one’s independent views. The Moon goes void of course at 6:09 pm, MT, until tomorrow afternoon. During this time it’s easier to tap into the collective mind and promote in one’s own way a more harmonious humanity. Tuesday January 12 The Moon is ridding herself of Aquarius until this afternoon. During this voiding period powerful subconscious thoughts can erupt into our personal consciousness. Some of them may be about how to live an ideal daily live or how to meet one’s highest expectations in a social role. At 4:53 pm, MT, the Moon moves into the intuitive understanding of Pisces. As the Moon’s new phase comes to an end, we can circle in on impulses telling us about our relationship with hidden voices coming from within us. There may seem to be an erratic rhythm to this communication, but its vitality may be more potent than what comes to us externally. Wednesday January 13 The Pisces Moon moves into her crescent phase at 6:06 am, MT. During this phase of the cycle persistent effort is needed to find ways to awaken the inner voices singing about the attention our best selves deserve. It’s time to put every component of our being in order for a more harmonious life. Some people may need a haven in which to re-dedicate themselves to being here wholeheartedly. Faith in our interrelatedness is needed. An objective look at the confines of one’s life can lead to a resolve to quest for other possibilities. And a serious attitude towards relationships can foster questions about one’s individuality. Thursday January 14 With this Pisces Moon new connections to the hidden influences in one’s life can be made by retreating from social engagement and making an honest appraisal of one’s need for public approval versus trust in one’s intuition. The Moon goes void of course at 9:31 am, MT, for ten hours of washing off the vagueness of Pisces. Much self-information can flow through our minds during this time. Some of it reveals self-interests, and some of it focuses on self-awareness regarding the inner voices of wisdom. At 7:48 pm, the Moon moves into the self-focus of Aries. Friday January 15 This Aries Moon offers simple self portraits of one’s inner and outer live. We can dream up ways in which the two interact. If tension between the two is stirred up, let your conscience be your guide with cautious optimism. The resulting, and perhaps surprising, self-realizations call for extreme efforts to discipline oneself. This can produce an awareness of how connected, or not, one’s private life is with how one is in public. How compatible are the two? Is there a hint of hypocrisy when comparing them? 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 16 and 17 The Aries Moon on Saturday brings urges to approach hidden influences in one’s life differently and to re-think how we express integrity. At 4:26 pm, MT, the Moon enters her first quarter phase when we need to actively develop our relationship to our inner wisdom by using imagination to devise ways in which inner voices debate with outer ones. This can be a battle between serenity and strain, testing one’s character. The Moon goes void of course at the beginning of this first quarter phase, putting out Aries’ insatiability for new experiences until 1:48 am, Sunday, when she moves into stabilizing Taurus. Then we can shake off any inertia and figure out how to resolve differences between inner and outer messages.
