Tuesday, FEBRUARY 26

At 6:28 AM EST, the Last Quarter Moon is exact with the Sun in Pisces forming a square to the Moon in Sagittarius. The Last Quarter Moon phase points to a crisis of consciousness. After basking in the awareness symbolized by the full light of the Moon at the time of last week’s Full Moon, we disperse our knowledge and come to a point when we need to sort out what works for us–and what doesn’t–in preparation for next week’s New Moon, when something new is born once again.

This is not the best time to start a major project, as the decreasing light of the Moon symbolizes a descent into unconsciousness. However, it’s strong for taking a mature look at a situation, and it’s a good time for finishing up details and processing recent revelations. The Moon spends the day in brave Sagittarius, stimulating our need to break the routine and experience life more spontaneously.
