First Quarter & Gibbous Moon

October 30 Monday
Monday morning offers an enlivening presence of confidence and passion. We may imagine ourselves as free spirits in an environment where everything is happening at once, and we are able to penetrate into an underlying reality where we can examine our assumptions and motivations. We can gain understanding about the limitations of our previous field of awareness, and allow ourselves to broaden our experiences, knowing that the follies of our past have contributed immensely to the wisdom we are presently acquiring and assimilating.

October 31 Tuesday
The Moon has been emptying out the freely moving streams of thought that Aquarius blows our way. At 7:10 am, MST, the Moon moves into the impressionistic realm of Pisces. There’s plenty of energy to control and channel into probing for knowledge that strengthens our ability to extract the truth as we aspire to increase our knowledge. Pisces can also help us swim with agility and total indulgence through the world of fantasy on Halloween. But don’t expect to stay totally hidden behind some disguise. Some “trick-or tricks” might surprisingly uncover a shadowy area.

November 1 Wednesday
Wednesday’s Pisces Moon can release revolutionary insights from viewing the accumulation of human knowledge throughout the ages. If your history memory is dusty, brush through historical sites on the internet. History changes based on the frame of reference used, including one’s personal history. So be willing to wrestle with old accounts of your past. And in doing that you may find creative ways to link your private world with the larger realm of humanity, and expand possibilities for choreographing your future. How has the history of dance in your lifetime affected you?

November 2 Thursday
The Pisces Moon entered her gibbous phase just after midnight this morning. This part of the Moon cycle is about bringing together the ideas, attitudes, and feelings we’ve had lately to give us a complete picture of how we connect to new and greater knowledge. This Moon asks us to consolidate and revise our spiritual assumptions and to find ways to incorporate new concepts into our lives. Early this morning the Moon has been voiding herself of Pisces, suggesting that we too let go of old beliefs. AT 8:46 am, MST, the Moon enters assertive and focused Aries.

November 3 Friday
Friday’s Aries Moon offers us a dynamic understanding of how we can balance our old views with new perspectives. Such a merging can help us reinterpret concepts and make some fundamental changes in our thinking process. Our minds have a magical potential for birthing ideas unexpectedly at any time. We just need a willingness to play with them and see what possible applications they might have. Listen to MoonWise tomorrow on the worldwide web at ksfr.org from 1:00 to 1:30 pm, MST, for the weekend Moon Minute.

November 4 Saturday
The Moon emptied herself of Aries early this morning and at 9:05 am, MST, entered the lush terrain of Taurus. This practical, value-ladened sign can help us pursue meaningful activities on Saturday that provide information that we can use to assess how well we pierce the truth when seeking new knowledge. On Sunday morning at 5:58 MST, the Moon is at her fullest and begins to reveal how well we deal with mental acquisitions. Do we even bother to grasp new information? And if so do we do that with diligence; do we complicate matters? Notice what materializes for you on Sunday.
