The first quarter moon takes place in transformational Scorpio, on 08/05 at 7:06AM est, 4:06AM ptd. This is the week where we may begin to feel the brewing of the upcoming full moon. With 5 celestial bodies in fixed signs, this moon can carry some intense emotions, as new revelations are received at this time. The heightened tension in the cosmos can lead us to take a much deserved break from the regular routine. Instead of trying to force things to work, we are being called to take a step back and look at the bigger picture. With Mercury now in Virgo (as of 08/04), our thought processing may take a bit longer, however we are diving deeper with our intentions. The moon will sextile Mercury over the next few days, providing us with divine insight and understanding, which can anchor more peace and silence our discomfort.
This moon is all about releasing bad habits and old routines, which we have outgrown. Create space for what is blooming, and stepping into the new path that has been unfolding. Venus in Cancer connects with the Taurus stellium, pouring surprise sweetness into the week ahead. By honouring our boundaries, we honour ourselves; and by honouring ourselves, we honour Spirit. Resting in this stillness creates ease and the perfect space for prosperity to grow.
