Last Quarter

June 27 Monday
With a Pisces Moon starting this week, we may feel compassion for childish behavior, yet envision ourselves as mature and project that image. Indeed, we may feel compelled to live up to an idealized characterization of ourselves that somehow may look like traditional, familial depictions of maturity. Overall, the urge to display an authentic adult self is coupled with an ease to adapt in social gatherings. We can transcend personal, hidden motivations for the sake of cultivating open-mindedness.

June 28 Tuesday
Tuesday’s Aries Moon cannot tolerate restriction, especially if it comes from somebody playing boss. Aries wants to operate according to its own dictates. At 12:23 pm, MDT, the Moon enters her last quarter phase, a time when one usually slows down to honestly evaluate what has been attained and then to mull over the next goal. With an Aries Moon at this time in the cycle, the deceleration might be the time it takes a gusty wind to move a weather vane from one direction to another. We may feel inclined to venture in all sorts of directions!

June 29 Wednesday
With Wednesday’s Aries Moon think about your options for the future and their implications. Aspects of our self identity may have changed recently, and we may feel propelled towards a new level of experiencing this. An Aries Moon can be unstoppable once a direction is chosen. Today, however, responsibilities may get in the way, especially those involving family or home. Expectations meet confrontations. A more mature self may face rejection from prior relationships. It may be best to contain one’s self with basic needs and use one’s inner radar for intuitive guidance.

June 30 Thursday
At 5:45 am, MDT, the Moon slips into Taurus, spicing an orientation towards the future with hopes of regaining some grace, beauty, or paradise. This will take a different approach than usual. Try a combination of instincts and intuition to upstage uncertainty. Dress yourself in confidence. Every wardrobe should have such an outfit. It can take us into tough situations that can bring out our potential to indulge in an elegantly mature manner that truly nurtures. And gives us spiritual strength to continue an ongoing development.

July 1 Friday
Friday’s Taurus Moon offers permission to maintain a course of action that is fulfilling or that enhances the image of a vision. This can be as simple as cleaning out one’s work space to make room for what is desired. Our stuff holds memories, some of which are not all that pleasant, like that lovely gift basket that reminds you of the rejection that came with it. Such visible triggers of feelings of unworthiness can block receiving what you crave. Listen to MoonWise tomorrow at 11:30 to noon for the weekend Moon Minute.

July 2 Saturday
At 6:10 am, MDT, this Saturday morning, the Moon enters her balsamic phase, stimulating our souls to pursue some seed idea. The Moon is void of course in Taurus from 11:02 am until 2:26 pm, when she moves into Gemini. If you’re shopping during the void Moon, think of how voiding can mean emptying out or negating. Purchases that are not truly ideal for you, may lose their appeal soon afterwards and never be used! The Gemini Moon this afternoon and Sunday can help us detach from the material and lure us into exploring mental territory.
