The Waning Last Quarter Moon rises at midnight, peaks at dawn, and sets at noon in all time zones. At this station, the creative moon in Aquarius squares the flowery Taurus sun. What happens when an unstoppable force meets an immovable object? Bitch we’re about to find out.
Last quarter moons are crossroads following the full moon, important moments to pause and consider our next move. Take whatever you learn from the Lunar Eclipse in Scorpio on May 5 and use this to inform your decision-making – which way? Aquarius clears the way for the new moon / new lunar cycle. Get ready for a New Moon in Taurus on May 19.
Aquarius is the zodiac’s eccentric and daredevil, ruling the circulatory nature of intellectual inspiration and ideas all across the galaxy. He is an exuberant, excitable archetype who loves to dance and move in wild ways. Taurus, on the other hand, wraps us in deep layers of comfort and stability. She welcomes everyone in, in to her home, her garden, her patch of earth. When quirky one-man-traveling-circus Aquarius arrives, he upends this earthen notion of safety and security. Together these archetypes ask us to be more adaptable and inquisitive.
We have to nourish two needs at once: the need to be grounded (Taurus) and the need to think and act freely (Aquarius). How do you react when everything changes? This is the locus now. The Last Quarter Moon in Aquarius forces us out of our comfort zone.
This moon phase can be taxing on the mind and spirit. This is especially possible at this juncture because the moon squares not just the sun in Taurus, but also Uranus in Taurus. (Also be advised that Mercury will still be retrograde at this time.) Uranian influence is at once puzzling, stimulating, and demanding. There might be chaos, disappointment, aggression, conflict, or just running around like crazy. The more we can detach emotionally, the smoother it will be for all involved. It also serves, however, as a powerful boost for our creativity and initiative. This is the perfect time to hone your craft and consider sharing your artistic expressions with the world. In flows confidence, out flows doubt.
