Thursday, MARCH 28

Very early today, the Last Quarter Moon is exact with the square between the Sun in Aries and the Moon in Capricorn. The Last Quarter Moon phase points to a small 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. This is 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.

Mercury turns direct this morning after retrograde motion since March 5th. Over the coming weeks, recent problems with communications and decision-making should start to improve. Answers we’ve been waiting for can arrive. Plans or projects that have stalled might now resume. We can be flooded with energies that are hard to make sense of during the shift today, however, and thus critical decision-making might be avoided for the time being, as our thinking can be skewed temporarily. It’s a better day to take in than to take action. The Moon spends the day in the sign of Capricorn.
