New Moon and Crescent Moon

December 29 Monday
The new Moon leaves Capricorn and moves into Aquarius at 5:42 am, MT, sending out impulses to tap into humanity’s collective inventions for extraordinary expressions of human capacity. Not all of us are the geniuses that have advanced civilization technologically, but within each of us is the potential, if not yet activated, to attune an internal radar to the course our soul desires to experience in such a way that we gather in every nuance, don’t miss a curve, and attract whomever or whatever is needed to channel internal forces towards ongoing evolution.

December 30 Tuesday
With this Aquarius Moon we can sense the field of humanity, representing all that is individually possible. If one person has accomplished something, it is conceivable for another to do as well. Eventually the extraordinary becomes the ordinary. And the edge of the human field expands. Yet it is there that breakthroughs occur, that one becomes the experimental test case and where one can isolate factors that impede a progressive growth in personal capabilities. To remain in the center is like being on an island of no growth where wounds and limitations can be indulged and where coordinating development becomes tedious.

December 31 Wednesday
With this morning’s Aquarius Moon we may sense a shift of attention to internal structural standards and resources, curious about applying some spiritual ideas to distill their meaning. At 8:15 am, MT, the Moon enters her crescent phase, when great effort and efficiency is needed to bring all the variables of what has been emerging into a viable form for development. At 11:34 am, the Moon goes void of course for almost six hours of airing out the eclectic energies of Aquarius. During this time there may be intoxicating lucidity. The Moon moves into enchanting Pisces at 4:24 pm.

January 1 Thursday
We have a Pisces Moon on this first day of the calendar year, alerting us to gullibility, to being easily swayed by group appeals or glittering attractions. Internal boundaries need to be in place to ward off deceitful behavior. A suitable resolution for this year is to pursue what has great internal and essential value for you. During this crescent phase there may be significant tests of your character when it comes to how you apply universal principals like “what goes around, comes around.” Such guidelines for living can allow greater forces to penetrate the sleeping parts of us.

January 2 Friday
This Pisces Moon helps us discern our beliefs about freedom and laws, about exceptions to the rule and adherence to it. We may get a feel for how we go beyond our limitations and how we behave when cornered. Look for moments when the chronological ordering of events is disrupted by a synchronous happening. And give some consideration to which spiritual practices you would like to preserve and which feel in need of reform, for example, meditation can shift from sitting to dancing. Listen to MoonWise tomorrow on the worldwide web at ksfr.org from 2:00 to 2:30 pm, MT, for the weekend Moon Minute.

January 3 Saturday
The Moon moved into Aries early this morning, invigorating feelings to venture into unfamiliar territory with an eye for what really counts, what is vitally relevant. Self-love power can be found in all directions today. Just listen to your intuition, and decide a course of action that is guided by the voice within. On Sunday at 4:55 am, MT, the Moon moves into her first quarter phase calling for a pulling together of many variables that will develop our inner strength to triumph over any handicaps or setbacks. The week ahead is ideal for developing patience and readiness to receive what comes from within.
