First Quarter Moon in Pisces ☽ Dec 10, 2021

The Sun in Sagittarius squares the moon in Pisces. Moonrise at noon, peak at dusk, moonset at midnight in all time zones.

The moon will stay in Pisces until Sat Dec 11, then transition to Aries for the next 60-hour cycle. This transition is like moving from the shadow of sleep to the light of dawn – very invigorating. The moon is waxing, gathering momentum for fullness. On Dec 16 the moon enters Gemini, marking the beginning of the full moon.

First quarter moons bring forward vital information for the full moon. This quarter moon follows the New Moon Solar Eclipse in Sagittarius.

At quarter moons I often mention the possibility of emotional turbulence. This one is different. When Sagittarius and Pisces team up, things feels rushed or unresolved. Pisces is the queen of wishful thinking, Sagittarius the starry-eyed hunter of the cosmos. Pisces swims in dizzying spirals while Sagittarius burns through time and space, destination unknown.

The fire of Sagittarius demands that we look forward and create a plan. Pisces has an important role to play. She can either uplift the entire process and bring a healthy level of surrender and forgiveness to the scene, or she can stir things up with her scaly fish tail and plummet us into a murky cloud of confusion.

The highest manifestation of Pisces looks like rest and reflection. Without rest, Sagittarius gets easily carried away. Paradoxically, Pisces is not know for getting great sleep at night, so expect some changes there. If possible, immerse yourself in some hot water. Artistic expression highly recommended, as always. Inverted yoga postures with legs on a chair or resting on a wall will be very soothing at this time, as will exercises to drain the lymphatic system.

I wish you enough strength to shoot the archer’s bow into the future and enough sensitivity to care for the fishes inside you.

This quarter moon will form a conjunction to Neptune, at home in Pisces.

Any square involving fire (such as Sagittarius) needs to be released through physical exercise. Regenerate with Pisces Yoga. In meditation, increase your creativity and emotional attunement by focusing on the sacral chakra. To find your personal moon sign, click here.
