1st Qtr Moon, 7 December 2016, Pisces

Exact time & zodiac degree of this moon | Understanding Quarter Moons |

This is an affectionate sensitive 1st Qtr Moon in Pisces. People are reaching out to give and receive kindness, and this softness couldn’t come at a better time as there’s also insecurity in the air with Saturn squaring this moon, and Chiron right next to it. In some cases, old emotional wounds are accidentally bumped into and doubts crop up about self and others. Yet the line-up of Moon, Neptune, South Node and Chiron in Pisces offers a wonderful healing vibe. The key is to believe there is a heart-based solution to every problem and to keep asking for it to reveal itself. Beliefs about ‘proper’ ways to care, help or show love might get turned on their head so that love can just be what it is and find its flow. Thoughtful words or actions have the potential for great positive impact, but we might forget to say or do them because we are rushing and preoccupied, shown by Mars in Aquarius aligning to Uranus, out of sync with the quiet hand-holding of this beautiful Pisces Moon. Christmas reminds us to express year-end greetings and gratitude from the parts of the self that genuinely feel them. Making time for napping, day-dreaming, meditating, sitting in nature, soaring to music all give the inner voice a chance to whisper how to make the most of this loving moon, which encapsulates the best of the spirit of Christmas – peace on earth and good will to all.
