The Moon is void-of-course this morning until 10:10 AM PDT. We face a challenging environment in terms of our ability to communicate our vision to others — to the team we may be trying to build. In general, we struggle to keep ourselves grounded with tangible goals and strategies, rather than focusing only on general theories and platitudes. For the most part, we seem to be inclined to push a too hard. We’ll do better to allow some time for adjustment and consolidation today. We will want to consider that Mercury will turn retrograde soon (October 9th), solidifying the focus on re-evaluation. Slowing down enough to find harmony and balance should not suggest that we are just wasting time or being uncertain.
Then the moon continues its journey through Libra today, bringing us another day of creativity, rebellion and innovation. We see a quincunx with Neptune early in the day, which could make it difficult to communicate our ideas. Thoughts that make perfect sense in your head might not translate when spoken aloud. Conversely, you might have trouble catching others’ drift.
A tense aspect with Pluto could bring a lot of deep-seated thoughts to the forefront, but only our closest confidants will understand us. Thanks to a frustrating minor connection between the moon and North Node, communicating with the people we feel closest to can help us heal today. We might feel alienated in the real world, but friends who understand us will come to the rescue.
As we roll into the evening, the Scorpio moon puts us in the mood to take action toward a better world. Do some research and find a charity you believe in. Look for volunteer opportunities or, if you have the money, make a donation to a cause that resonates with you. By investing your energy this way, you’ll be able to reconnect with the human race, which will do wonders for the soul.

DAILY ORACLE
34 | Hummingbird Spirit | Be in the moment.
Nectar is everywhere, but Hummingbird Spirit is here to remind you that flying from flower to flower and being all over the place wastes precious energy. Be still. Be here, now, in the present moment, enjoying the sweetness and sustenance available to you. Focus on one flower today—just one.
Nectar is there for you, and Hummingbird Spirit’s message is that wherever you put your attention, there your energy flows. Are you focused on the sweetness or on finding something better somewhere else, always yearning and feeling that life is not enough and you are not enough?
All you seek is right here, right now. Appreciate the present, and you will see that you are where you need to be and enjoying what you are entitled to enjoy in this timeless and perfect moment.

9/17/2022, LAST QUARTER MOON IN GEMINI/CANCER: Moon in Gemini manifests itself by the need for changes and spontaneity. Safety lies in thinking about your feelings and sharing them with others. You can be more talkative and speak with ease these days. You might have a better ability to keep a cool head, but beware, cold heart can discourage others. Harmony of thinking and feeling is important.
Moon in Cancer brings your feeling of safety related to your home, family and related activities such as cooking and gardening. You may be prone to emotional fluctuations; you should learn to forgive and forget in order to avoid depression from thinking too much about things. Your perception of the world can be very subjective; try to create a certain distance without being bitter. Due to your rich emotional manifestation you can create a real sense of belonging in the world.
9/25/2022, NEW MOON IN VIRGO: You might have a strong need for balance and harmony now. You probably desire to keep things nice rather than venturing into fundamental questions in order not to disturb the peace. You must learn to share your good and bad feelings. Do not be afraid to be who you really are, despite what is expected of you.
