Tuesday, Aug 8 ☾ 4:28 am CDT
The Waning Last Quarter Moon rises at midnight, peaks at dawn, and sets at noon all over the world. At this station, the earthy moon in Taurus squares the colorful Leo sun.
Last quarter moons are turning points or crossroads, clearing the way for the new moon / new lunar cycle. This phase prepares us for the New Moon in Leo on Aug 16.
Taurus bears gifts of a practical, pragmatic nature. She secures the necessities. At this moon phase we’re taking a look at home, body, food, and basic day-to-day routines. Leo and Taurus both deeply appreciate quality and value. They want a comfortable space within and without, something aromatic and aesthetically pleasing.
Together Taurus and Leo radiate luxury and leisure. The key is understanding the connection between desire and the outcome of obtaining said desire. Listen closely for what it is you really need. The question is not what we want but how do we feel once we attain what we want? We have to ask ourselves: does it really feel that good to indulge, to binge? To eat that much, to drink or smoke? Whatever your vice, it’s up for review.
Some suggestions for this quarter moon: spend time in nature or on a farm, work outside, sing, clean, beautify your living space, REST. All things health & wellness.
Great news: this quarter moon will form a close conjunction to Jupiter in Taurus and ground us down even more. Jupiter’s influence is bright, happy, and expansive.
