First Quarter Moon in Virgo ☽ May 27, 2023

The transient Gemini sun squares the waxing moon in Virgo. First moon phase of Gemini Season 2023! Moonrise at noon, peak at dusk, moonset at midnight in all time zones.
At the first quarter, we decide what to carry forward from the new moon; first quarter phases clarify. This moon phase follows the New Moon in Taurus on May 19. The square formation ensures that some natural breaking point is reached. The crux of this one revolves around work, service, and contribution. It’s about division of labor, both physical and emotional.
Squares suggest tension or disagreement. Mercurial moon phases teach us to first isolate, move around, release pent-up energy, and then talk it out.
Double-mercury energy means this will be a busy day, think end-of-the-school-year vibes, restless children and adults alike.
We’re letting it all go, but not completely – one foot in both worlds, waking and dreaming, here and there
The purpose of this first quarter moon is aligning our thoughts/intentions (Gemini) with our daily practices, health, and wellbeing (Virgo). When Gemini and Virgo fuse, we are unstoppable machines of productivity.
Where Virgo craves responsibility and discipline, Gemini craves the freedom to change anything and everything. Gemini and Virgo both have exceptionally active minds. The Virgo moon turns her turmoil inward with dizzying anxiety and indiscrete perfectionism. We are careening through space faster than ever. Change unfolds in hyperdrive. We don’t need to do anything to alter or expedite the process. This is simply a time to be alert, listening attentively to body and mind.
Heads up: this moon phase opposes Saturn in Pisces. This suggests stress and strain on both body and mind. I suggest twisting yoga poses to calm the nervous system. In meditation, focus on the throat chakra. Try Virgo Yoga. To find your personal moon sign, click here.

Thank you so much for your posts! I’ve been reading your posts since the full moon in Aquarius season. Thank you for helping me understand how the moon and planets play a role in both the collective and my own path!
As a gemini rising, i’ve recently felt the urge to align my routines, especially in what I eat & when I eat that’s best for my vessel. Knowing that the 1st quarter moon is in virgo helps me follow virgo’s guide to organization and alignment!
Best Wishes,
