First Quarter Moon in Aquarius

The first quarter moon in Aquarius shines bright as we celebrate life and death, through various traditions and festivities. Taking place on 11/01 at 2:37am est (10/31 at 11:37pm ptd), this moon brings major wake up calls and reflections at the crossroads. Scorpio season always brings change, but this year’s season has been heightened with change due to the eclipses. As fate takes the wheel, we have been slowly adjusting to our position of surrender. For those who may be resisting the changes taking place, this Aquarius moon may speed up the purging process.

Aquarius reflects themes of community, our circles and social spaces, innovation, futurism and surprises. The truth may be delivered with shock under this moon, but it is the truth that sets us free. Although this moon has heavy aspects with various celestial bodies, it is the exact detox that the collective needs. Taking place in an air sign, heightened communication can be expected, including usage of our electronic devices. This can lead to the intense conversations that deliver harsh truths. Aquarius is a sign that knows how to detach from emotions well, and can teach us that not everything is about us! Conflict and miscommunication can be avoided by simply creating balance (time for just us, vs time spent with others). While some may choose their inner peace and forgive those who have wrong them, others may be choosing to heal and achieve inner peace by letting go.

Aquarius is the water bearer, the one that carries the message from the divine. Aquarius is also the in between, in many ways. As this sign sits between the 10th house ruled by Capricorn, where our reflection of success and growth is shown, and the 12th house ruled by Pisces, where the heavens and realms influence is shown. As this moon takes place on the most spirit filled active nights of the year, the messages received couldn’t be more clear.

Aries

This moon brings a moment of honesty and clarity. Are your expectations realistic for the goals you’ve set for yourself? It’s time to review these and reflect on if adjusting them could be beneficial. Having boundaries and knowing your limits is a sign of growth.

Taurus

Some harsh reality checks can be delivered at this time, leading to frustration and overwhelming emotions. This is your chance to speak up about situations that bring discomfort or pollute your boundaries. This moon also brings a moment of reflection to be honest about the amount of baggage you are carrying and if it is necessary! It’s time to let go of what is no longer working.

Gemini

You may find yourself this week heavily focused on your personal relationships and business affairs, reflecting on what needs to change within them, and if you are giving up too much of yourself to sustain these matters. The conclusion you receive may not be what you wanted, but it’s what you need!

Cancer

Changes in your long term goals/plans can take place this week, which can bring discomfort as you were already hyped up for the plan you’ve been practicing. However the change in events is due to the necessary additional space required to complete said goal. Be open to criticism from your elders/skilled peers and remember that their criticism is not a personal attack.

Leo

With this moon taking place in your sister sign, and with heavy aspects, this week can feel exhausting and maybe even have you thinking about giving up on certain tasks altogether. In moments like these it’s important for us to reflect on our progress by taking a moment to be present in them! You are exactly where you are meant to be, and just because you take a week off to breathe, doesn’t mean the plan is failing.

Virgo

In the last week, Jupiter has joined Neptune in your sister sign Pisces. With the planet of expansion, luck and wisdom here, these themes may also be surrounding you at this time. Be mindful of jumping to conclusions, and getting stuck in the endless void of thoughts. If you’re feeling overwhelmed, return to the facts of all situations. By doing so you can detach your worries and remain grounded in the truth.

Libra

Distractions may be at an all time high this week, as your ruling planet squares off to Saturn (the planet of successful productivity) and the moon. Affairs planned for this week should be loosened to avoid adding too much pressure on them. The slowness in your progress may be due to the pending conversations you still need to have with loved ones. What’s on your mind?

Scorpio

With just a week passing since the solar eclipse (which took place in your sign), there is still a lot of information to digest and analyze. This week could be filled with lots of snoozing and relaxation. Conversations with others being had at this time can lead to more clarity and drastic changes which lead to the adjustment of personal boundaries. If guilt follows after these adjustments that means you did the right thing!

Sagittarius

It’s time to take a break! Days with low energy and the desire to lounge around, should be expected, as your ruling planet creates tension with the planet of strategy and vitality(Mars). Does this mean you can’t accomplish things? No, but it does mean you’ll have to roll up your sleeves and do more heavy lifting than expected. The key to succeeding with these matters is patience.

Capricorn

You tend to do your best to accommodate all of those in your life. Whether it’s through emotional support, financial support, or physical support, you always do your best to come through for others. The cosmos suggest this week that you take a step back from the hero agenda, and pour some of this antidote into yourself! It’s time to review where you’re overcompensating in your personal relationships, and the last time gratitude was expressed for your supportive efforts. Everyone deserves to be given their flowers, including you.

Aquarius

This moon takes place in your sign which brings heightened synchronicities, messages and dreams. Pay attention to the patterns being highlighted at this time, as they carry the answers you’ve been seeking. With this clarity comes the preparation of redirecting your energy elsewhere. This includes people, places and patterns of your own.

Pisces

With now both of your ruling planets back in your sign, and the moon returning to your sign mid-week, this week can feel slower than usual. You’re used to having one foot in this realm and one foot in the other, but this week it can feel like you have both feet rooted in the astral. Take this time to recover from the solar eclipse and ground yourself in simple routines.
