Today is also the Last Quarter Moon, the Sun squares the Moon and invites us to review and reassess areas of our lives that are needing our attention right now. During the last quarter moon we have planted new seeds, they’ve sprouted and now we get to decide what we will plant next. We get to review how did the seeds grow and do we want more of them? What seeds of new thoughts, ideas, behaviors and actions have you taken in your life since the last new Moon? The Last Quarter Moon today, invites you to evaluate and go over the journey thus far.  

The Moon then enters the sign of Virgo on Friday late afternoon and stays there over the weekend.
