Tuesday, NOVEMBER 17

The First Quarter Moon is exact at 6:48 AM EST, with the Sun in Scorpio square to the Moon in Aquarius.

A crisis theme surrounds any quarter Moon phase, as we feel compelled to take action. There may be some trial and error or tension to manage now, but it can also motivate us to make a move! Recent new beginnings may face their first obstacles.

The Moon also opposes Mars and Jupiter this morning, adding to the conflict and tension, with the Sun heading toward a square with Jupiter, exact tomorrow. As such, some pressure may excite our passions. These aspects could lead to missteps from overblown expectations.

The Sun forms a square to the Moon’s Nodes today, further suggesting dissatisfaction and disagreement. We could be moving in directions that work against our growth, perhaps letting ego issues hold us back.

Circumstances may take us out of our comfort zone temporarily, which may feel disruptive and counterproductive at first glance, but could ultimately redirect us in helpful ways.

The Moon is void from 9:26 AM EST, with the Moon’s last aspect before changing signs (an opposition to Mars), until the Moon enters Pisces at 4:20 PM EST.
