The First Quarter Moon is exact tomorrow night (Saturday, May 11, 9:12 pm EDT). This square between the Sun and Moon tests how committed we are to our New Moon goals.
At this First Quarter Moon in Leo, the challenge is clear. The Leo Moon impatiently squares the Taurus Sun. Leo is bored … Too much waiting around, too much work. It’s time for some action and fun!
The Moon is aided and abetted by Jupiter, and Venus and Eris. All together, these four form a Grand Trine in Fire. With the two benefics, Jupiter and Venus, both present, the mood is upbeat, almost jolly. Eris does add an urgent note, but overall, the feeling is optimistic.
Why not move ahead? We’re ready! Why wait?
The Taurus Sun counsels caution. Taurus knows that pushing, rushing, moving too fast can ruin things. Cycles of life cannot be sped up. Everything grows in its own time.
Pluto, Saturn, and the Nodes of the Moon agree. This is a time of investing, slow building, getting the foundations right. We’re moving into the future, yes, and the final destination is not clear yet. Take your time. Get it right.
This is the challenge: Finding a way to celebrate the Fire without pushing too quickly. Figuring out how to channel all that optimistic energy into something that will last.
