The Waning Last Quarter Moon rises at midnight, peaks at dawn, and sets at noon in all time zones. At this station, the starry-eyed moon in Sagittarius squares the wavy Sun in Pisces. Last quarter moons are turning points. They clear the way for the new moon / new lunar cycle. This phase prepares us for the dynamic New Moon in Aries on Mar 21.

Both Sagittarius and Pisces belong to the mutable modality. To be mutable is to be fluid and adaptable. This moon phase brings change, whether we like it or not. Get ready for action, forward motion, or at least a change of scenery. And be wary of Pisces, the wishful fish, head in the clouds. This is a dangerous combination, the fish and the optimistic hunter, bursting with philosophical ideals. When these two embrace in the sky, illusions mount and crack.

The balance at this quarter moon is between realism and enthusiasm, being responsive to the immediate surroundings and also allowing ourselves to drift out into fantasy island world. With the right amount of awareness, we can pull off both beautifully.

change for the better ~ expansion ~ fresh air ~ freedom ~ clear sunny day

I wish you enough strength to shoot the archer’s bow and enough sensitivity to care for the fishes swimming in your heart, forever chasing tails.
