Summary:
The Moon today is in a Waning Gibbous Phase. This is the first phase after the Full Moon occurs. It lasts roughly 7 days with the Moon’s illumination growing smaller each day until the Moon becomes a Last Quarter Moon with a illumination of 50%. The average Moon rise for this phase is between 9am and Midnight depending on the age of the phase. The moon rises later and later each night setting after sunrise in the morning. During this phase the Moon can also be seen in the early morning daylight hours on the western horizon.
The Sun forms a trine with Uranus today, and this energy serves to detach us just enough to be able to embrace change or to move forward in some way. There can be a nice feeling of looking forward to the future and a desire to make improvements without pressure.
When the Sun is harmonizing with Chiron, it’s easier to make progress as we are open to learning and growing rather than worrying about who’s right or wrong. However, the Sun also forms a quincunx with Uranus later today, and we could be dealing with minor changes of plans or a restless urge for change that interferes with the flow.
With Jupiter in opposition to Chiron today, it becomes clear that we need to learn about the inner wounds that need to heal in order for us to move forward, grow, and expand. We might learn of a different perspective on our current goals and this gives us pause to think, and perhaps consider making some changes. We may be looking for guidance. Today, it can be a little difficult to know what to believe. Ultimately, this leads us to a greater understanding of our own values.
The Moon today is in a Third Quarter phase. Sometimes called a Last Quarter Moon, this phase occurs roughly 3 weeks after the New Moon when the earth is three quarter of the way through it’s orbit around the earth. If you live in the northern hemisphere the Moons left side will be illuminated and the right side dark. For thoughts of you in the southern hemisphere it will be the opposite with the right side illuminated. On the day of the Third Quarter phase the Moon will rise around midnight on the eastern horizon and set in the west around noon the next day. In the days following the Third Quarter Phase the Moon’s illumination will decrees each day until the New Moon.
