First Quarter Moon in Taurus ☽ Feb 16, 2024
Friday, Feb 16 🦂 9:01 am CDT
The nonstop Sun in Aquarius squares homebody moon in Taurus. Moonrise at noon, peak at dusk, moonset at midnight in all time zones. First quarter moons, sandwiched between the new moon and full moon, provide vital information in preparation for the full moon. They help clarify our plans & intentions. This quarter moon follows the dynamic New Moon in Aquarius/Chinese New Year and will be followed by the Full Moon in Virgo on Feb 24.
Taurus and Aquarius are both fixed constellations. They are forever set in their ways, fiercely devoted to their respective opinions and lifestyles. Be wary of this strong energy. How will you prepare?
Taurus is a creature of comfort and familiarity. She rules home, money, and personal possessions. Taurus thrives on rest & recovery. This energy will now come up against the fast-paced, insatiable energy of Aquarius. Taurus needs/wants a home base; Aquarius needs it to manifest instantaneously.
Taurus belongs to the earth element. She is grounded, rooted. Aquarius is all about change. At this moon phase, change comes at a cost. Major resources and/or energy must be expended in exchange for Taurean stability.
And let’s not forget the unpredictable nature of Aquarius. It comes with every Aquarian moon phase and this one will not be different. The air of Aquarius demands that we look forward and envision the future. The changes that come may be so abrupt or uncomfortable at first that we are not willing or able to look forward but trust that spectacular new trajectories are being set in motion…!
Beneath the frosty ground, change rises in invisible waves of magma.
Notes from last year: stress related to home and money; stagnant vibes; restless; eager for change.
Good news first: the moon has a helpful ally this year. She will form a gentle sextile to Neptune in Pisces, lending a soft, watery vibe. This moon phase whispers of surrender to the inevitable. HOWEVER this moon phase also coincides with the first day of Venus in Aquarius as well as a contentious square between Mercury in Aquarius & Uranus in Taurus, exacerbating the adversary between Taurus & Aquarius. Take precautions against headaches and nightmares. Get lots of rest. Avoid spending time on screens. And expect the unexpected!!
