First Quarter Moon

The First Quarter Moon becomes exact at 12:35 PM hours after Moon moves into Aries. Quarter Moons are times of action and those actions carry out the promise presented at the New Moon. We have already experiences some of the power outages and public transportation snafus indicated at the New Moon. This First Quarter is potent because the Sun is joined at the hip to Pluto and they both are in the aggravating, agitating 90 degree aspect to the Moon. If Pluto wants to flex his “ugly” muscle we can expect some nasty stuff like oil spills, fire, war, volcanoes (already in the Philippines), earthquakes, mudslides and fun stuff like that. The Sun and Moon act like a trigger, setting him off. The lovely holiday season may be marred by reports of terrorism, corruption and espionage. Saturn in the picture as well, brings his own special delights to the table. Saturn’s presence in the First Quarter Moon chart indicates misfortune, contraction and a need of some kind. The planetary combination at this Quarter Moon hint at great societal changes and while such changes evolve over time, the events that occur while these aspects are in play prove to be, in hindsight, the foundation or trigger point for those changes. Only time will tell if the events on the world stage leading up to the Full Moon, Lunar Eclipse, at year end, will be world changing events.
