The Waning Last Quarter Moon rises at midnight, peaks at dawn, and sets at noon in all time zones. At this station, the unpredictable moon in Aquarius squares the solid Taurus sun.
Last quarter moons are crossroads following the full moon, important moments to pause and consider our next move. Here Aquarius clears the way for the new moon / new lunar cycle. Get ready for the New Moon in Taurus on May 7.
What happens when an unstoppable force meets an immovable object? Sometimes it means massive change, like tectonic plates shifting. At this quarter moon last year I experienced an earthquake while I was in the middle of watching an uncomfortable, anxiety-inducing movie in a cinema here in Mexico City.
Aquarius is the zodiac’s eccentric daredevil, ruling circulation of intellectual inspiration all across the galaxy. He is an exuberant, excitable archetype who loves to dance and move in wild ways. Taurus, on the other hand, wraps us in deep layers of comfort and stability. She welcomes everyone to her home, her garden, her patch of earth. When quirky Aquarius arrives, he upends Taurus’ entire platform of safety and security.
We have to nourish two needs at once: the need to be grounded (Taurus) and the need to think and act freely (Aquarius). How do you react when everything changes? The Last Quarter Moon in Aquarius forces us out of our comfort zone.
The thing about Aquarius is that he can be wonderful and generous and friendly. At times he brings pleasant surprises. But he can also be sharp and aggressive and totally erratic.
This moon phase is taxing for the mind and spirit. Aquarian influence is at once strange, stimulating, and demanding. There might be chaos, disappointment, or conflict. Aquarius also serves, however, as a powerful boost for our creativity. This is the perfect time to share your artistry with the world. In flows confidence, out flows doubt.
The moon forms a loose, harmonious sextile to Mercury in Aries this year. This is conducive for all things social & communication-related.
