First Quarter Moon in Pisces ☽ Nov 30, 2022

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 Dec 1st, 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: highly energetic and invigorating. The moon is waxing, gathering momentum for fullness. Get ready for a full moon in Gemini on Dec 7.

First quarter moons are important decision points, bringing forward vital information for the full moon. This quarter moon follows the New Moon in Sagittarius.

At quarter moons I always mention the possibility of turbulence. 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. It is very important to choose the high road. You don’t want to get sucked into the Pisces vortex here.

The highest manifestation of Pisces looks like rest and reflection. Without rest, Sagittarius gets carried away. Paradoxically, Pisces is not know for getting great sleep at night. If possible, immerse yourself in some hot water. Avoid screens before bed, choose books instead. Very important: do whatever you need to take care of your immune system. Deep fatigue and illness are super common at Pisces junctures.

Heads up: this quarter moon coincides with a contentious opposition between Venus in Sagittarius and Mars Retrograde in Gemini. Your anxiety and pessimism are not unfounded. Challenge and hardship abound. Prepare for curveballs, have a backup plan for your backup plan.

Heavy rain…misty mountains…strange dreams…secret oceans…unraveling slowly…
