Monday, the Moon remains in optimistic, adventurous, truth-seeking Sagittarius until 5:55am EDT. We’re strongly motivated to explore and learn. As best as you can, speak your truth without assuming everyone is on the same page.
Improvisation works well for us now, as we are spontaneous and love living on the edge — just be mindful that you aren’t overdoing or overstating things.
Monday at 1:44am EDT, we enter a Moon VoC that will last for a little over 4 hours, until 5:55am EDT. Use this intuitive time to stretch and grow. Your commitment to spiritual self-mastery, towards being in the present moment, calls you to make some adjustments with the outer world.
Ask yourself: What might be a creative way to stay connected to others and committed to connecting to my intuitive knowing?
As always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don’t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Monday early morning ahead of time.
Monday at 5:55am EDT, the Moon moves into ambitious, realistic, and goal-oriented Capricorn, where it will journey until Wednesday afternoon. We tend to be more realistic, serious, and cautious; this can support practical endeavors and financial matters.
Our ambition surges and brings with it a need for structure and planning; when you add in the pragmatism this Moon placement supports, you can see how this could be a very productive time for business and long-term goals.
Our reputation will become very important to us. As best as you can during this aspect, avoid “should-ing” on yourself. Take the pressure off, perhaps by saying, “I am doing the best I can, and that’s all I can ever do”
This Moon placement also starts the build up towards the first Quarter Moon (exact later today, on Monday evening).
Saturn is the ruler of Capricorn — and it is currently transiting through Pisces, making this a great time to look for practical applications of our dreams, ideologies, connection to Source, or one-consciousness.
It’s also a great time to take a more serious look at our spiritual or creative aspirations; as best as you can, be authentic about your intuitive connection to life. What works (and what doesn’t) when it comes to your idealism, addictions, avoidance of life, and dreams?
What about life truly resonates with you — as it stands now, rather than what it was 5 or 10 years ago? Where in your life is it time to let go of naiveté or an idealistic approach that no longer serves you?
What tools or structures support you with being in the flow, being present, and feeling connected to the Universe in this now-moment? What needs your time and attention? What could you practice every day? What do you genuinely want to commit yourself to?
Again, this Moon placement also starts the build up towards the first Quarter Moon (exact later today, on Monday evening).
Monday at 7:54pm EDT, the first Quarter Moon in 7º of Capricorn becomes exact. We started to feel this build when the Moon entered Capricorn on Monday early morning.
The Moon in practical, accomplishment-oriented Capricorn makes a challenging aspect to the Sun in balance-seeking, relationship-oriented Libra.
Last week, on Sept. 21st, we saw a powerful New Moon/Solar Eclipse in Virgo. If we set some intentions on Sept. 23rd or 24th, we will be ready to make some adjustments.
This is a time to stretch and grow — and create some forward momentum — in fact, we may feel compelled to act, stirring up anxiety or overwhelm, so just go one breath at a time.
Remember, we’re still in Eclipse Season until Oct. 13th and thus don’t yet have all the information we need to move brand-new projects forward. Allow for changes, remain flexible and adaptable, and find creative solutions in day-to-day interactions with others.
Also, allow for new downloads and the release of “old” codes and conditioning. Simply put, an open mind and heart will serve us best (that’s true in general, but especially true until Eclipse season ends).
Another thing to remember: if something begins or ends in a way that seems organic… allow it to be.
As best as you can, observe your feelings and stay grounded in the “here and now”. Connect to your intuition and inner wisdom; they will help carry you through this period. We are receiving a consciousness upgrade — that’s a good thing!
Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 5-9 degrees of Capricorn, Libra, Aries, or Cancer? If so, you will feel the effects of this first Quarter Moon more strongly than otherwise. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in Leo or Cancer (the Sun rules Leo; the Moon rules Cancer).
