New Lunation Cycle February 2005

Feb 7 Monday
We start the week with an Aquarius Moon in her last day of the balsamic phase, reminding us not to cling to our familiar past as it might not represent the world we are spiraling into. Say adios to the ashes of completed encounters, and clear the air by allowing currents of arrival and separation as one does by opening opposite windows. With a focus on simplicity let go of rotten thought patterns so that fresh, invigorating ones can fill your space. Pass on the spirit of lightening our load to bring in the new by doing something beneficial for others as well.

Feb 8 Tuesday
Early Tuesday the Aquarius Moon transmits an air of keen focus amidst a bustle of activity. There is an impulse to take control of many aspects of a situation or, on second thought, to disengage and allow everything liberty to express itself. At 3:28 pm, MST, the Moon joins the Sun for a new cycle. This new Moon emanates a theme of revolutionizing how one engages or asserts one’s self. This may call for a reversal of how this was done in the past. Instead of going out to get what one wishes for, we are beckoned to call in the wished for future.

Feb 9 Wednesday
At 6:59 am, MST, the new, still invisible, Moon leaves Aquarius and enters Pisces. New directions, derived from past experiences, can be taken. Don’t wallow in the drama of an old situation that no longer exists, especially if you have no control over it. Take some radical steps to bring forth a positive expression of a belief you have about your future. Look for outward signs of your inner feelings. Let the Chinese New Year of the wood Rooster boast your self-assurance in following your dreams, in keeping an ever watchful eye on your progress.

Feb 10 Thursday
This Thursday’s Pisces Moon reminds us of the struggle inherent in any attempt to change, to begin a new path, to overcome the collective inertia to remain in the trenches of the past. Life is fluid, and its movement begins within each of us. All we need to do is allow it to flow out. Consider inspiration as one’s wellspring that flows outward with our attention and intention, and moves rapidly as we will to follow it step by step. This river of inspiration can help us overcome constraints and find something so magnificent that it compels us to further explore this direction.

Feb 11 Friday
At 8:21 am, MST, the Moon leave Pisces and enters Aries, helping us find fresh approaches to the innovations we are seeking. Something new has been emerging, like a flood of novel impulses. Examine presumptions about this energy. We may well be inundated with unfinished business that we can instinctively handle. And handle we must if we aspire to journey into unfamiliar territory. Listen to MoonWise tomorrow at 11:30 to noon for the weekend Moon Minute. You can also hear us on the worldwide web at ksfr.org

Feb 12 SaturdaySaturday’s Crescent Aries Moon urges us to esteem the rich and abundant wisdom we have gathered from our social experiences and to use the memories of those interactions, including disappointments and distortions, to explore a new path of relating. Early Sunday morning the Moon goes void of course, suggesting a need for solitary activity. At 1:18 pm, MST, the Moon enters Taurus boosting our sense of our capacity to honor our own unique specialness and reminding us to sweeten our determination to do things differently. Spice up your self-love!
