Full and Disseminating Moon

August 27 Monday
The almost full Aquarius Moon reminds us that caring for our inner reality is what is most needed to reap the benefits this week will bring. What takes shape is simply the unfoldment of seeds intentionally planted and nourished. If the trials of the last two weeks were handled with trust, then trust will prosper. The Moon goes void of course at 7:23 pm, MDT, until 8:34 pm, when she leaves the airy, flowing robes of Aquarius and moves into the misty, filmy garbs of Pisces in which she will reach her fullness in the early morning hours, awakening us to what has hitherto been hidden.

August 28 Tuesday
The full Moon in Pisces was exact at 4:35 am, MDT, as she was eclipsed in the western horizon. She begins her full phase with a sharing of social and spiritual good will to all. For us, poised between the Sun and the Moon, is the possibility of a greater realization of a unifying field that encompasses all that exists, diffusing differences and connecting what, on the surface, seems completely unrelated. Look at how your personal activities today provide a template for understanding the routines of larger social groups as well as other forms of life on this planet.

August 29 Wednesday
The Pisces Moon highlights global challenges today and either clouds or enlightens our ability to heal the wounds that created the difficulties. What happens on larger scales is just a projection of what is happening on a personal level. If you are celebrating a feeling of internal wholeness, find at least one other person who mirrors that. The peace or joy that culminates in you, does so also in others, and together you create such a world. At 4:22 pm, MDT, the Moon begins to void herself of Pisces. This is like those times when it stops raining and the clouds separate, allowing the Sun to shine through, and you feel renewed.

August 30 Thursday
The Aries Moon supports holding the bigger picture of life while finding yourself at the center of it. Even if you see yourself at the edge of it, you and your actions are pivotal for an integration of your physical, mental, social, and spiritual life. You are the weaver of your experiences. With any single action you do or any encounter you have, be super tuned in for the nuances. Aries idealizes the surrounding world and has the radar for what enchants or draws one into the circle of life. Have you found your individual fire in the collective spirit?

August 31 Friday
The Aries Moon sheds light on that part of life that is impacted by a celebration of oneness. At 12:01 pm, MDT, the Moon enters her disseminating phase, a time when the recognition and understanding of what has come to fruition is displayed. It is not always easy to demonstrate the internal spark of spirit. But without taking that first step that expresses what you sense and think it to be, you’ll never get the feedback that validates what you are feeling. Listen to MoonWise tomorrow on the worldwide web at ksfr.org from 1:00 to 1:30 pm, MDT, for the weekend Moon Minute.

September 1 Saturday
The Taurus Moon brings memories of paradise lost. Do what you can to nurse along inner bliss. And when you feel it surge up, get out of the way so that it can spill out and surround you. You may even be able to sum up the benefits of past disillusionments. Understanding cultural and religious practices, as well as certain social rituals, like meeting someone for coffee or tea, as ways of celebrating union, fosters such engagements. Yet this Sunday they may seem obsessively repetitive. Focus on maintaining links to an internal idealized image of community.
