Exact time & zodiac degree of this moon | Understanding Quarter Moons |

At this Quarter Moon in Scorpio, new perspectives break through. Life shifts your thinking and this shifts everything. There’s a great healing alignment between Jupiter and Chiron at this time. Something deep and difficult releases, and something precious ripens. The soul takes its chances and lets go to allow new love attitudes to enter. Broken hearts, even from the most wounded histories, have a beautiful opportunity to mend. Softening into surrendered openness is also a gift of this quarter moon in watery Scorpio. Old pain rises from its grave to be transformed into a wonderful new energy, like a medicine that brings the reward of healing. You might be missing an old friend and reach out for contact now, or be savouring the memories of recent good times with a new connection and realise you desire more intimacy. It’s a vulnerable time. People might be prickly but beneath the prickles might be a wish to open up to greater vulnerability, love and passion. But sometimes prickles are just prickles so do take care! This quarter moon helps you discern people’s true intentions to know which wolves to keep away from, and which beloveds to move towards.
