Sunday, JANUARY 27

The Moon ends its transit of Libra at 2:31 AM EST, after which it transits Scorpio. The Scorpio Moon is deeply feeling, passionate, and perceptive.

The Last Quarter Moon is exact this afternoon when the Sun in Aquarius forms a square with the Moon in Scorpio. 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. This is in preparation for next week’s New Moon when something new is born once again. It’s not the best time to start a major project, as the decreasing light of the Moon symbolizes a descent into unconsciousness. It’s time to begin finishing up the details of that which was conceived at the last New Moon. A Mercury-Mars quintile today is especially clever energy for figuring things out and solving problems.

The Moon is void from 12:21 AM EST, with the Moon’s last aspect before changing signs (an opposition to Uranus), until the Moon enters Scorpio at 2:31 AM EST.
