The Last Quarter Moon
Your Astrology Is Here
Last Quarter Moon
On Thursday, May 30th at 1:12 PM EDT, the Sun in Gemini squares the Moon in Pisces at 9 degrees and 46 minutes. This influences Mutable Sign (Gemini, Virgo, Sagittarius, and Pisces) placements in your Natal Chart. You may already be feeling or sensing these energies in your life.
The square between the Moon and the Sun prepares us for the upcoming New Moon on June 6, 2024 at 8:37 AM EDT which occurs in the sign of Gemini at about 16 degrees, and will also impact the Mutable signs.
The Last Quarter Moon signals the final push of manifestation of what began at the last New Moon. It is a time for a change of direction, course correction and taking penultimate steps towards completion and fruition of the New Moon Phase. We can see the finish line but we are not quite there. It can be a period of uncertainty and making peace with not knowing. It is a liminal space, which can feel like walking into the unknown by faith and trust alone.
We are given an opportunity to check in, one last time, on what we have created since the New Moon. We can ask ourselves: Does it work? Does it not? Is it what I truly want? We can correct mistakes. Learn from the past. Make things right. Change course. Choose differently.
The Last Quarter Moon is often called a “crisis in consciousness,” a period of transition and change when we become aware of what no longer serves us. It is a time to let go, release and surrender.
It is a great time to notice the harvest of the fruits you have planted in your life. Notice the success and failures. Notice the learning and growth. The Last Quarter Moon Phase is a time of preparation for the next New Moon Cycle.
We get to think about what we want to plant next in our lives and in our consciousness. We become aware of what habits no longer serve of and which ones we can now create, redirect and nurture. We become aware of situations, circumstances, places, people and things that have served their purpose in our lives and we can acknowledge with gratitude the gifts as we began to move forward into a new phase in our lives.
The New Moon in Gemini is quite significant because it highlights the importance of the change in signs of Venus, Jupiter and Mercury (Mercury enters Gemini on June 3rd), as well as the upcoming Venus Cazimi. More on the New Moon and the Venus Cazimi in upcoming posts.
For now, use the next couple of days as the Moon transitions into the Last Quarter Phase, to think about what you are now ready to plant in your life. Take your time to express gratitude for the past and for the areas of your life that have served their purpose, taught you lessons and now began to think about what is next for you.
What you are now wishing to create in your life? What are you manifesting? What are you releasing? What is releasing you? What are you wanting to repair, redo, fix or improve on? What are you now ready to build and welcome into your life? What steps do you need to take to make your dreams come true? Stop waiting for the magic wand, you already have it...
You will be shown what is not working and what is. Trust yourself. Trust the Universe. Pay attention. What is the next chapter of your story in this lifetime? Time to turn the page and write a new story.
