September 23, 2020 is the waxing crescent moon. The waxing phase is on the way to fullness, and you may feel a push from the cosmos to get started on projects and to finish up things you may have started during a point of lower energy.
2020 has not lacked for challenges. One of the biggest problems for those who respond to the pull of Luna is that there are roadblocks everywhere. Our normal paths may have become overgrown with weeds of uncertainty. If you’re not sure where to put your waxing energy, take a look at what is working in your life. Are you working from home effectively? What can you do to increase this energy flow, get more done, and demonstrate your reliability to your employer or your clients? Growth generally doesn’t happen when things are going great; it’s easy to just keep on keeping on. Adversity promotes growth.
Fullness Into Darkness
As days grow shorter in the northern hemisphere, you may find that your energy runs out of steam. If you find the darkness at the end of the day restful, then by all means rest. Like seasons of growth and times of harvest, there comes a point when the body, spirit and mind need to uncouple and power down.
However, if you find the darkest time of the year to be draining or even frightening, indulge yourself in places and times of light. Snuggle down in your home in a pool of lamplight and read a book in a field that intrigues you. Get busy in the kitchen and try a new recipe or style of eating. Dust off the tools in your home gym or drag out your yoga mat and do a few sun salutations to Luna.
Faith and Confidence
Waxing Luna marches on, so join in step with her and enjoy the positivity that is inherent in the waxing moon. She is ramping up to fullness, and you can follow her. It’s a time for challenging conversations, handled gently.
Keep an eye on your finances and don’t be surprised if an investment pays off in a surprising way. Share a creative idea and get credit, or get help from someone you once assisted. Aid others with no expectations and reap the benefits of giving. Waxing lunar power may turn financial energy in your direction.
Where to Tread with Care
Your horoscope is a handy reference guide for risks and benefits of the coming days, but it’s also a good idea to keep an eye on the big picture for the year. For example, the coming eclipses, such as Luna on 11/29/20 and the solar eclipse on 12/14/20 (visible from the southern hemisphere) remind us that our understandings and experiences can face radical changes and shifts.
If waxing Luna raises your energy and hope, keep an eye on those in your life who tend to be change phobic. Your hope may seem out of place in our troubled world, and hope and energy heading into an eclipse may result in a surprising and sudden brick wall that appears out of nowhere. Communication is key, so be ready to listen more than you speak and temper your enthusiasm around those who are suffering in this time of growth.
Energy Running Amok
It’s easy to over-expose yourself to the news of the day. Bad news combined with an elevated energy level may lead you to an invigorated, agitated state of panic.
Stop and center. Understand that current world conditions have resulted in responses that range from the terrified to the belligerent and back again. Of course, the source of all of this negativity is fear. Many have a great deal to fear at this time, so proceed gently to reduce becoming a target for hostility.
Additionally, carefully monitor your perception and reception of the messages of others. Many feel the waxing energy of Luna and don’t know how to use her power. The result is agitation of body and mind and disruption of spirit. Guide as you can, particularly those in your care or sphere, but be ready to step back if the sufferer is encapsulated in their worry and fear. Distance can be protective.
Weave With Your Tribe
By moving forward in the energy of waxing Luna power, you will attract those who feel her and want to grow. Be ready to lead the willing, but don’t let anyone in need of help get in the way of your beginnings. The full face of Luna will be here soon enough, and you will want to be well on your way with beginnings when that full burst of power comes available.
