DAY: 11.5 - 15
PHASE ARC: 135º - 180º

Keynote: Expanded Activity and Overcoming Obstacles.

The Moon steadily waxes as fruitful and productive activity expands. If all has gone well during the previous phases, you should be experiencing a sense of confidence and optimism as success and fulfillment grow nearer. Unexpected "real world" problems and difficulties may arise, but the will, drive and creativity this phase brings enables you to overcome obstacles encountered along the way, and in so doing you may develop innate skills and capacities.
       With the Gibbous Moon phase we experience a growing concern with the larger picture and the social worth of our activities, along with a desire to contribute something meaningful to society — concerns which will come to the fore during the waning half of the cycle. Now is also the time to give attention to personal growth and self-improvement. During this phase of intense activity, there is a tendency to become over-confident, to overwork, overreach, overspend, and overdo things in general. Attention needs to be given to issues of health, rest and nourishment, which may have been neglected over the past few hectic days.
       If your Lunation Plan isn't advancing well, don't give up. Try to re-examine the past several days and understand what went wrong or what pulled you down. Perhaps you attempted to do too much during a single cycle, or perhaps the pull of the past prevented you from making a good start. If so, you may need to downscale your plan, mustard your courage and move on.
