Current Moon Phase for October 8: Last Quarter

Last Quarter Moon

(waning/48% illumination)

The time of reaping is at hand. There is a feeling of completion infused into the atmosphere during the Last Quarter Moon. The opportunity opens to recognize how far you’ve come in various parts of your life. This is not a good time for new beginnings, but rather a reflective period suited to evaluating how you have been using your time and what has been accomplished. Issues of authority may arise. This Moon phase supports taking responsibility for actively tying up the loose ends of projects that are already underway.

WITCHING HOUR

WITCHING HOUR

 

The witching hour is the hour of midnight on a full moon. It is at this time that the witches spell casting powers are at their fullest. It is a time of change and transformation.

The history of this may be traced to the ancient times of the worship of Goddesses associated with the moon and fertility. As the moon waxes in its phases so do the powers of those, until they culminate at the full moon.

Current Moon Phase for October 6: Disseminating

Disseminating

(waning /135-90 degrees)

 

This is a tremendous time of transmutation. All of the prior elements are coming together for a final burst of creative output. You have seen a clear view of your own needs and the posture of significant others. Now the accumulation of that input is leading to a deep, core change within you. In this phase, you will naturally be inclined to seek higher guidance so that you can emerge from this transformation successfully. The Disseminating Moon favors sharing what you have learned (and are learning) with others.

New Moon Report for October 4 – Jupiter Retrograde

Jupiter Retrograde

Thursday, October 4, 6:18 am  PDT, 9:18 am EDT

The retrograde turn of this enthusiastic planet can inhibit optimism and slow expansion plans. But it’s also wise to remember that introspection and revision are viable ways to enhance the ability to reach our goals. Philosophical Jupiter in reverse signals the importance of re-examining our beliefs and expectations, reminding us that we each have inner wisdom to guide our actions.

Current Moon Phase for October 3: Full Moon

Full Moon

(waning/78% illumination)

A veil of self-absorption is lifted and suddenly you gain access to an unbiased view of others. This is a rare moment when you can see yourself objectively and become aware of whether or not what you want in your heart is actually beginning to manifest in your life. Traditionally, the Full Moon phase stirs emotion, and this is because when you “see” what is happening, you may become upset if you’re experiencing the “same ole, same ole” — rather than the things you would like. If the Full Moon phase is a disappointment, on the next New Moon it’s time to take creative action in the direction of your dreams.

New Moon Report for Oct. 2 – Venus in Virgo

Venus in Virgo

Tuesday, October 2, 11:59 pm PDT, Wednesday, October 3, 2:59 am EDT

Love takes a practical turn with amorous Venus’ entry into earthy Virgo. Relationships could suffer from nitpicking and self-worth may be diminished by excessive criticism. However, this transit also represents opportunities to make the minor adjustments needed to put partnerships on a more productive track and to develop talents that increase one’s economic value.
