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. First moon phase of Pisces Season 2025! Last quarter moons are turning points. They clear the way for the new moon / new lunar cycle. This phase prepares us for the New Moon in Pisces on Feb 27.

Both Sagittarius and Pisces belong to the mutable modality. To be mutable is to be fluid and adaptable. This moon phase brings massive change, ready or not. Get ready for action, forward motion, & new scenery.

Be wary of Pisces, wishful fish, head in the clouds. This moon phase is a dangerous combination: the two fishes + Sagittarius, the optimistic hunter, bursting with energy. When these two embrace in the sky, illusions mount and crack. We are often left feeling disappointed.

Balance at this quarter moon is found between realism and enthusiasm. We have to be responsive to our reality, to our surroundings. We can’t just drift to fantasy island world.

With honesty and awareness, we emerge with strength & confidence.

Challenge does not mean defeat. Anxiety does not mean ruin. We need strength and courage and deep trust in ourselves. You are capable, you can do this!

The Sagittarius moon finds a friend at this quarter phase station with a sextile to Pluto in Aquarius. However, the stronger players here are Mercury in Pisces square Jupiter in Gemini. This is a heavy energy which requires rest and withdrawal. It is ok to escape into fantasies to cope with reality at this time.

change ~ expansion ~ fresh air ~ sovereignty ~ clear sunny day

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