The phases of the moon can have a big impact on our lives. That’s why some people pay such close attention to the moon cycle. It can be very important to know what phase the moon is entering in order to know how your life will be affected. We often think of the phases as having different characteristics. For example, we think that the full moon has the potential to drive people a little crazy-and it definitely can! We also know that the new moon is a great time for setting new intentions and evaluating progress on our goals. But what about the other phases, the in-between phases? The first quarter moon of 2017 occurs on January 5. What does that mean for you? Read on to find out.
- The first quarter moon can represent a “crisis” time.
But does crisis have to have a bad connotation? Not necessarily. Yes, a crisis can feel like a negative thing at the time it is occurring. But what about in the aftermath? A crisis can actually bring about opportunities that can lead to positive change. So if you find yourself entering crisis mode on January 5, don’t despair. Something better will probably be right around the corner-you just don’t know it yet!
- It’s a time of inevitable change.
You can’t resist the changes that occur during the first quarter moon. They’re going to occur whether you want them to or not. It might not be pleasant changes, but they will be necessary. So instead of trying to fight the changing tides, your best bet is to go with the flow and see where life takes you next. Keep your wits about you and be mindful of everything going on-stay positive, and you will all the good about to come your way.
- You might need to admit some hard truths to yourself.
The first quarter moon tends to illuminate some things that we would rather deny. But it will reach a point when you can no longer deny it, and you will have to admit some uncomfortable truths. You might to open up about these things to other people, or it might be something you only need to admit to yourself. Either way, be prepared for some harsh revelations. Harsh, but necessary to move forward. If you understand the importance of the truths that will be revealed, accepting them will be easier.
- Try your best not to make any rash decisions.
There will come a time to make some difficult decisions, but that time is not now. You will be tempted to act quickly due to the changes occurring in your life, but you need to do your best to resist that temptation. It’s not the time for big decisions. It’s the time for reflecting and contemplating on what your next move should be. Your next move doesn’t have to happen today or even tomorrow-feel free to wait a little while before you take any real action.
