First Quarter and Gibbous Moon

Monday September 29 This Sagittarius Moon brings a charge to pursue exploring the directions intimated by intuition. We just might uncover some ways in which we get trapped by not expressing our real feelings. We can bid our time and let things slide or we can dig up deep, once rejected issues which call for change and innovation. This can be a huge opportunity to renew creative activity. Sagittarius offers us the freedom to play and have fun no matter the surroundings. This sign can refuse to let unwanted incidents shutdown a state of enjoyment. At 9:29 pm, MT, the Moon goes void of course for over twenty-five hours of dancing off Sagittarius’ talent for constantly being on the move. Tuesday September 30 The Sagittarius Moon is void of course until late tonight, and our energy levels are slowing down. It’s best to focus on personal issues today and not spread oneself too thin with unnecessary meetings and things to do. It’s easy for the Sagittarius part of us to overextend into meaningless activities when it’s not clear what is wanted. Instead of being disoriented, aimless, or lost, a focus for the day is to go inward and reconnect to one’s inner source. Retreating within can be the ideal condition for re-appraising one’s perceptions and beliefs about the nature of being human. At 10:41 pm, MT, the Moon moves into the high aspirations of Capricorn. Wednesday October 1 With this Capricorn Moon comes a resolve to reform things based on ideals. The Moon enters her first quarter phase at 1:33 pm, MT. There’s a need to act on a higher level than normal by following the best influences with pure motives. By looking for the bright side of a situation and visualizing the happiness it can produce, one can rise above any harshness and learn not to cling to perversions. Deficiencies can be eliminated. Questioning the norms can lead to unraveling disservices and awakening novel solutions. Capricorn offers quiet courage to take a stand and do the right thing. This sign is good at structuring well thought-out plans. Thursday October 2 This Capricorn Moon draws our attention to a process and our part in it. Participation brings many connections and is a reflection of how spirit works, especially when conscience is being followed. At 10:18 am, MT, the Moon goes void of course until tomorrow. While the Moon is sweeping off Capricorn’s thoughtfully-balanced attitudes, we may see only what we want to see and reject reality. The everyday mundane routines seem to fade like a mirage. A feeling of solitude envelops us. Such a space is conducive to operating on the level of one’s intuitive mind. During a voiding Moon it’s best to double check the rational mind, but not the images pouring in as inspiration. Friday October 3 The Aquarius Moon draws on individual expression of a mental picture formed by intuitive input. This psychic energy is like hidden guidance transmitted by a matrix of higher wisdom. This interior process quickly and unexpectedly lights and brightens a stream of creative ideas. Today that spiritual light can be alive in us if we intend so. The Aquarius part of us can see and go beyond the natural order of things. Outstanding things can happen when we see them in ideal terms. This may require a level of emotional detachment. Listen to MoonWise tomorrow on the worldwide web at ksfr.org from 2:00 to 2:30 pm, MT, for the weekend Moon Minute. Weekend October 4 and 5 This Aquarius Moon calls for aligning oneself properly to be in attunement with creative faculties. At 11:02 am, MT, Mercury goes retrograde marking a switch in the technical know-how of constructive team-work precious to Aquarius. At 12:32 pm, the Moon goes void of course for fifteen hours of clearing off the inspired, original ideas of Aquarius. Inner channels can open up during this time, allowing one to sense beyond previous limits. At 10:17 pm, the Moon enters her gibbous phase when we need to be selective about what is needed to catch the spirit of our creativity and bring it into clear light. On Sunday at 3:24 am, the Moon moves into Pisces, stimulating our inner vision and suggesting playfulness as a way to get clarity.
