Moon phase on June 30, 2012

Waxing gibbous, 85% litMoon in Scorpio

The Moon moved from Scorpio into Sagittarius that day (UTC), so the time of day decides which.

Born under a waxing gibbous moon

When more than half the Moon is lit but it is not yet full, the mood turns toward refinement. Traditionally this is the time to analyse, tweak and perfect before the peak of the full moon. People born under a waxing gibbous are often seen as thoughtful, devoted improvers who want to understand how things work and make them better. If you are living through it, it can suit editing, practising and asking for feedback, while trusting that what you started is already taking shape.

Pick one piece of work or a habit you have been building. Ask yourself what single change would make it ten percent better, and make that change gently today.

The Moon in Scorpio

A Scorpio Moon deepens the emotional atmosphere. Conversations may turn intense or private, and people tend to sense what lies beneath the surface. These days suit research, honest heart to heart talks, financial reviews, decluttering and any work that needs focus and privacy. Trust matters more than usual, so it helps to be straightforward. It can also be a powerful moment to let go of something that has quietly been weighing on you.
