The Waning Last Quarter Moon rises at midnight, peaks at dawn, and sets at noon all over the world. At this station, the restless moon in Aries squares the tender Cancer sun.
Last quarter moons are turning points or crossroads, clearing the way for the new moon / new lunar cycle. This phase prepares us for the gentle New Moon in Cancer on July 5.
Here comes Aries, quivering with impatience. Invisible waterfalls burst into flame. The Last Quarter Moon in Aries addresses the ancient contention – and ultimate harmony – between water and fire. Aries heaves magma into Cancer’s quiet ocean and her calm waters suddenly begin to boil. This is the great fusion of feeling and action, heart and body, feminine and masculine.
Together the ram and crab offer profound wisdom. From Aries we learn to move and act, and from Cancer we learn to listen to ourselves. Cancer is our mother, Aries her fiery first-born son. Cancer lives in the heart, Aries in heat and vigor.
The trick with this quarter moon is calming Aries down long enough to acknowledge and listen to our inner world, where stormy moods come and go. Be like Cancer, slow and cautious. Listen to your intuition. Resist the urge to rush. Rest, nourish your body, rest again.
Moon phases in Aries are hot and uncomfortable, dry and scratchy, dehydrating (figuratively and literally). This energy will have you up and out of bed early, eager to begin the day on your own terms, doing things your own way.
independence ~ fresh start ~ new beginnings ~ volcanic energy ~ decision point
Great news: this moon phase forms a very close sextile to Jupiter in Gemini. All roads lead to the rainbow.
When the moon is in Aries, it is a good time to eat, harvest, and preserve fruits. Fortify your energetic bubble and stay well hydrated. In meditation, focus on the solar plexus chakra. Visualize the mind and body licked clean by cool, blue flames. Wear the colors of fire and/or energizing gems such as ruby, jasper, carnelian, or orange calcite. Start the day with Aries Yoga.
