At the First Quarter, the Moon challenges the Sun with a square. The question raised at the Crescent phase about our commitment to our New Moon goals gets sharper.
We’ve got some momentum. Can we keep it going?
This crystalizes as Mars squares Pluto five minutes after the Moon squares the Sun.
Mars/Pluto aspects can trigger anger, obsession, and a desire for power. These two are the ancient and modern rulers of Scorpio so add intensity and a fascination with the hidden and the forbidden.
During this Mars/ Pluto square, we may confront these characteristics in ourselves or others. Sidestepping arguments is a great idea. If you have to respond, keep a cool head and avoid emotionality.
The First Quarter Moon in Aquarius offers this exact capacity. The fixed Air sign knows how to rise above sordid tangles and take a calm and principled view.
The Aquarius Moon wants to perceive clearly and make long range plans, but the landscape is likely to feel shadowy and charged with difficulty.
Grab your night goggles. Use the cool, clear-eyed Aquarius Moon to rise above whatever challenges come your way. Study, assess, and review the situation. Take your time. Avoid rash action.
As Yogi Berra said, “You can observe a lot by just watching.”
