Monday, October 21st:Monday,
the Moon remains protective, nurturing in Cancer until 12:29pm EDT. With this Moon placement, we are more sensitive to what people say and therefore our feelings are more easily hurt -- so be kind to yourself and others. Self-Care is key for the next several hours ;-)
Emotional safety is important to us as well; we like connecting to the familiar and we enjoy nurturing ourselves and others -- home and family call to us, for instance. Make sure though, that your glass is filled before letting others drink from it, otherwise you might start to feel drained and resentful.
Monday morning, at 8:39am EDT,
the last Quarter Moon in almost 28 degrees of Cancer becomes exact.
We started to feel this aspect build from the moment the Moon entered Cancer, last week Saturday (Oct. 19th).
The Moon in protective, nurturing Cancer makes a challenging aspect to the Sun harmony-oriented, idealistic Libra. This may bring challenges; however, it also energizes us to face what demands completion or change.
This Moon phase brings us closer to Oct. 27th, which will bring the New Moon in
Scorpio. During the last Quarter Moon, we are best served not by beginning new projects, but by reviewing existing ones -- particularly those we started around or after the time of the New Moon in
Libra (Sept. 28th).
What is asking to be completed? As best as you can, find creative solutions for anything that comes up, whether it's internal or with others.
Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in
26-29 degrees of Cancer, Libra, Capricorn, Aries or 0 degrees of Leo, Scorpio, Aquarius, or Taurus? If so, you will feel this month's last Quarter Moon quite strongly. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in Leo or Cancer, since the Sun rules Leo and the Moon rules Cancer.
As the last Quarter Moon becomes exact,
on Monday at 8:39am EDT, we also enter a
Moon Void of Course (VoC), that lasts for almost 4 hours
until 12:29pm EDT. Use this intuitive time to make some adjustments in your life. As best as you can, find creative solutions to seemingly unsolvable situations.
Make space for the emotionally familiar, giving and receiving support, and pampering your inner baby -- but also for intellectually harmonious one-on-one engagement and creating a balanced environment with others. 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 morning until the early afternoon ahead of time.
Monday at 12:29pm EDT,
the Moon moves into fun and attention-loving Leo, where it will journey
until Wednesday afternoon. We have a chance to appreciate ourselves and our lives -- and to connect to the heart. Hand out as many compliments as possible, they will be deeply appreciated :-) Fun, games and romance are a big part of this energy. You might also enjoy spending time with little ones.
What are you most grateful for today? What would be heaps of fun? What would be so much fun, you squeak just thinking about it?
Monday afternoon,
a harmonious Venus/Neptune aspect becomes exact at 3:40pm EDT.
We started to feel this aspect from last week, Saturday (Oct. 19th) on; it will be strong until this week Wednesday (Oct. 23rd). This supports us with the flow of feelings, especially in connection to our relationships and whatever we most value. Bringing compassion to our deepest feelings (including fears) and how we relate to others is going to feel easier at this time.
Our intuition and instincts are strongly supported here too. It becomes easier to trust others and open up to them; we give ourselves permission to receive love and emotional support. As best as you can, let all feelings flow.
Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in...
