Sagittarius Gibbous Moon
—July 10

Today’s moon intoxicates the inherent attitude—and tries to justify that which may not be easily vindicated… our self-administrative psychoanalysis turns philosophical.

Today’s moon may influence something of a precious pause, even… that “there may be a need to hang back while everyone else is charging forward; quick moves and harsh attitudes can be off-putting to those in a vulnerable or less powerful position… watching and observing the progress of this situation will reveal how best to deal with it as various issues arise…”

Simultaneously, however inconveniently or uncomfortably, you may be feeling as though you’ve been experiencing something of a newness, a reemergence, a rebirth… you’re experiencing an entirely new beginning—yet—you’ll need to “move past the more difficult issues or the problems of our histories, particularly issues where someone felt a sense of failure, loss, despair, betrayal or unfaithfulness… forgetting past hurts and insults in favor of enjoying the reality of life in the here and now will lift everyone’s spirits…”

❝Practice the pause. Pause before judging. Pause before assuming. Pause before accusing. Pause whenever you’re about to react harshly and you’ll avoid doing and saying things you’ll later regret.❞
——Lori Deschene
