Moon Phase Update - Thursday 14th September

The moon is in her Waning Crescent phase 36% of full in the sign of Cancer and is 24 days old.

Moon Rise ~ ~ Moon Sets ~15.51pm (BST)

Moon rise does not occur today (BST) – 0.44am tomorrow

Moon rises after midnight to early morning and sets in the afternoon. It is visible in the early morning low to the east.

The Moon is in Cancer today – so what is that good for? Here’s your reminder list:

Good for… Baking, staying in, and getting cosy. Spending time with loved ones. Coming up with a dynamic plan: the Cancer energy is also very entrepreneurial.

Not so good for…Being detached, aloof and unemotional.

Do… Spend time with kids you adore; be hospitable; take time out.

Don’t… Drag yourself to any place you don’t feel like going, unless you totally have to.

I hope you enjoy exciting and hopeful dreams before you wake. Then turn your attention to anticipation and encouragement regarding your domestic and deeply emotional connections and relationships.

Late afternoon, with the Moon trine devotional Neptune, your heart and mind may turn in the direction of romance or simple flights of fancy. Immerse yourself in the development of your deep understanding of what family means to you. Family can mean so many things to each of us. A quote I like from Jim Butcher, “When everything goes to hell, the people who stand by your without flinching – they are your family.” These are the connections to remain committed to over time. Folks who keep you close through thick and thin, who you know you can share your vulnerabilities with, bring them closer now, let them know you are by their side as well. Accepting deep love from others sustains your ability to move forward and continue ing love onto others.

When the Moon is in Cancer, our hearts feel tender and our sensitivity can sometimes be a challenge. Allow your vulnerabilities to show, give, and receive love and kindness.

The Moon is in Cancer all day, and our needs for comfort, safety, belonging, and familiarity are active and in focus. The Cancer Moon is sensitive and dedicated to loved ones. We might take steps to make ourselves or our families more comfortable and safe today. This is a strong time for tapping into our inner genius or personal potential and putting it to work for us. We are learning from past experiences, love, attachments, family, and even rejection. We’re likely to enjoy helping people, teaching, and growing through our connections. There can be some resistance experienced with the Moon-Pluto opposition tonight when people may be dredging up the past. Intensity in our personal relationships, emotional entanglements, power games, or some inner emotional turmoil are possible now.

Readers of this daily post over many years know that every so often the universe goes on a 24-hour siesta – refraining from its usual M.O. of scaring the dickens out of humankind.

Thankfully, the only main hassle today comes from the Moon in Cancer opposite Pluto in Capricorn while the Moon trine Neptune in water signs and Ceres trine Chiron in water signs point you in the direction of tuning into creative imaginative outpourings and being a nurturer-healer to the truly needy.

Since the Moon is flourishing in its home sign, take some time to make your kitchen and bath areas shine again. Cooking, baking and gardening are highlighted.

Don’t be surprised if a wave of nostalgia washes over you. Learning more about your ancestral heritage is in synch with the heightened lunar presence that thrives on exploring roots, foundations, and the depths of psychic awareness.

Instead of reaching outward to provide service and assistance to others today, we may be more inclined to focus upon matters of our home and family. The Moon lingers in Cancer this morning and makes a gentle trine with Neptune. This movement softens the waning Sun/Saturn square with tears and empathy. Folks can become hypercritical of self or others under that configuration. This lunar trine softens our criticisms considerably. But, it is not an outgoing social aspect. It's more one of withdraw in which we are encouraged to take a time out to revert to personal matters and deal with our own selves. Creativity, empathy, intuition and fatigue may rise. Take a break and float a bit.

Fear and temptation...along with potential emotional manipulation rides in upon our nightime hours. The Moon meets with Pluto by opposition overnight. Worry serves nothing. Focus in on facing down your fears, drawing attention to what you can do instead of what you cannot and plotting solutions while continuing to sheer away non-applicable or distracting information. Bring worries out into the air and light so that their power is lessened (talk about them, write/list them out or just turn on a light to chase the lingering shadows out of the corners).

Your energy levels may feel lower than normal. The clock ticks. Work piles up. Conflicts with authority figures could arise. Responsibilities weigh heavy upon you. Perhaps your confidence has taken a knock recently but the universe knows that you are strong enough to get up off your knees and try one more time. If you feel frustrated, consider what this situation may be teaching you. Maybe these delays are there for a reason.

Sometimes it’s necessary to wait; to have patience; to work for what you want. Sometimes plans need development time, people need time, you need time – even when you think you don’t. It’s possible that you’re being asked to define your boundaries more clearly or to crystallise your vision of what you really want. Curb any tendency to fight against reality. Some things are worth waiting for.

Sep.14 – Venus conjunct North Lunar Node (23:58 of Leo) (Sep.15 in NDT, UK, AU)

Your love, beauty and joy are especially visible to others right now. You are likely to be at your most attractive � both in body and personality. You could become a magnet for what you desire today � just be careful what you ask for, since you might get it! What you attract to you might be material abundance, iration and appreciation from others, or perhaps a sense of well-being that brings you into a more beautiful balance with those around you. This can also be a time when you begin a new relationship or social , or perhaps you begin a journey to make yourself or your world more beautiful, loving and kind. At worst, or if other stressful transits are also in effect, you might also have a tendency to fall into over-indulgence, empty glamour or compulsive craving.

Today through Saturday will help you hear the news or offers or get into talks, meetings, agreements, sales, writing, or decisions about these work, health, pets, paperwork, hired help, co-workers, organizing, or cleaning needs and really get some activity moving forward about it. If you need to focus this on home, real estate deals, moving, renovations, family, parents, or roommates, start today.

In the European tradition, this day is of no and is considered to be absolutely neutral, but Veda and Avesta emphasise that it increases physical energy and sexuality, and inclines to arguments, risks and rivalry. It is not recommended to start anything, especially with the hopes of significant financial results. Good for: Defending yourself from attacks. Not good for: Health, travel, love and friendship, gardening.

There is low ocean tide today. Sun and Moon gravitational forces are not aligned, but meet at big angle, so their combined tidal force is weak.
