Crescent Moon Phase Keywords: development and building with some resistance and restraint.
|



Since the new Moon in Virgo, the Moon has touched Venus, Mercury, and Mars; made a square to Jupiter
and trine to Chiron and Neptune. Before she goes void of course, she will sextile Pluto. We could call her
a very active Moon in her aspects and mostly soft aspects.
The crescent Moon begins officially with the semisquare to the Sun and ends with the first quarter or Moon
square the Sun. We need have our intentions stated and written down, realizing that we can alter and edit
them in the days ahead. Semisquares very naturally create resistance, but when the sextile occurs
between the Moon and the Sun (tomorrow in the afternoon) things can be expected to lighten up.
In the Washington D.C. chart the Moon is in the 1st House. In Los Angeles, the end of the 2nd House; in
London, the 11th House, and Baghdad, Iraq the 9th house.
The advice given by Chandra Dhi Manthri for the 27th degree of Libra is that one should be wise in
choosing those in whom to confide. Realizing that one has further to go, one keeps one's own counsel,
but keeps a journal and writings for those who come after.
Note the part of fortune is the same distance from the Ascendant as the Moon is from the Sun. This
pattern will continue throughout the complete Lunar phases.
