Hi friends, I am continuing my deeper dives into the eight phases of the moon as we experience them.   I figured it would be a good process for anyone unfamiliar with moon phase work to get a crash course by experiencing in real time.  

 

As a reminder all my reports are based on Pacific Time.   

 

Later today, Saturday August 30, the moon in Sagittarius squares the Sun at 8 degrees of Virgo forming the First Quarter Moon.   

 

The three and half days of First Quarter phase are a time of action based on what was generated at the New Moon and what was learned during the Crescent.    

 

Reminder: 

New  Aug 22 11:06pm – August 26 8:44pm.  Plant seeds and actions ideally based on the theme of Virgo.    

 

Crescent Aug 26 8:44pm – Aug 30 11:25pm.  Information comes to us, much of it informed by the wheels we turned on the New, either consciously or unconsciously. 

 

Go back and look at your calendar.  What did you do during those New Dates?  What did you experience?    What info have you been learning during the Crescent dates?  

 

Now as we fold into First Quarter phase, which is Aug 30 11:25pm – September 3 9:52pm, we do more actions based on the information that we just received.  Or we feel our instincts guide us on something.  We pursue again. What hurdles have popped up involving the seeds you planted on new moon?    We make another call, or we see someone. We mail something.  We stir the pot again.  This can be a time when we realize that the goals we planted on new may need more action from us, perhaps actions that involve breaking away.   Maybe we need to get help from others not the usual suspects.  Some independence may need to be exerted on this phase.  We feel a drive to do some harder work, stretch, push, pull.   

 

Because this First Quarter is between the Moon in Sag and the Sun in Virgo we    Focus on these questions:   What actions are you taking that expand your world or world view?  What actions are you taking that are based on think globally act locally?   What actions are you taking that are based on bigger philosophy?  What actions are you taking that support your judgements?   How are your actions ‘walking’ your talk?   What actions are you taking that support the power of story?  

 

Take time to assess the last week and the completed two phases so that you can go deeper on the First Quarter.   

 

See you at Gibbous.
