Waxing Quarter Phase

 

The half-full moon is gradually gaining in light and the point of crisis has arrived in your soul's evolutionary journey.  The light must overcome and conquer the dark in you nature.  This lifetime promises challenges, action, vision-building, and critical decisions.  With the moon squaring off with the sun the tension generated drives the momentum of the cycle.  This is the point of no return, the threshold into unfamiliar lands of enchantment. 

You must learn to create a structure in your life that can contain the vision that has been deposited in your soul by the universe.  Can you unravel the mystery of your life?  You are here to take charge and shape your surroundings and are often impatient with limitations and obstacles.  You prefer to harness your intense willpower and blast right through opposition.  You are like a pioneer aggressively settling new lands with a sense of adventure and boldness.  Your courage is strong, but it needs to be balanced with compassion, diplomacy, and rooted in reality. 

Life will force you to make tough decisions at critical moments in order to mold and strengthen your resolve.  You need to build a foundation for your life.  Can you accomplish what you've set out to do?  Don't worry if people think your goals are impractical or too lofty.  You can achieve anything if you follow through.  There will always be resistance from the status quo.  The establishment's fear of change, chaos, and invention will try to devour your visions.  You must be willing to make a stand against the majority and boldly take the road less traveled.  New vibrant visions are trying to come into concrete form through you and you must stake out territory in strange new lands to build your mystery.  There's no room in the old lands.  So set your bearing on the unknown sea!

As long as your ego is balanced with diplomacy you will succeed.  You've come to learn how to manage crisis and the energy of change.  That's why your life is so filled with contradiction, action, movement, drama, conflict, crisis, and change.  As old structures collapse, you will be ready to command the chaos and reform and redirect the energy into new forms.  The world is waiting desperately for the new forms that you have to offer!  Don't hold back by procrastinating.  Let them come forth.  Give birth to new wineskins for the new wine. 

You often rise to the occasion when things fall apart or when others are in danger.  The mythic image of the First Quarter person is the hero or heroin thriving on crisis and becoming energized, excited, animated to save the day.  This doesn't bode well for living daily life with regular down-to-earth folks.  You are the rare adventurer who passes through the small town on the epic quest to slay the dragon.  What dragons will you slay with your life?  You might try and produce crisis just for the adrenaline rush if you're not getting enough excitement and adventure.  Maturity grows when you are able to commit to deliberate action that involves developing productive forms for the creative visions stirring within.  The most important ability to develop is compassion for yourself and others.
