Exact time & zodiac degree of this moon | Understanding Quarter Moons |
At this 1st quarter moon in Taurus, Venus has just slipped across into Aries to rendezvous with Mars who arrived in Aries on the 29th. Venus rules Taurus, which means this quarter moon emphasises all things Venusian, and right now Venus’s attention is taken up with Mars. As they’re both in Aries and connect as a couple until the 3rd quarter moon around the 19th, we have a few passionate weeks ahead. How will this fire express itself in your life? Perhaps you’ll use the Venus Mars energy to further your career goals, travel plans, study or lifestyle passions? Or will you get fired up romantically and become inspired to create magical moments with a current love, or seek a new love? If you’ve been wanting to put your hand up to lead the way with something, perhaps run a project or start a hobby group, the Aries energy supports this. This quarter moon helps us cut through the dross and get moving! Taurus is all about the body, and Aries is all about exercising and being strong… it’s a great time to join the gym or embark on a fitness routine, even yoga or nature walks. It’s easier now to kick off the heaviness and cobwebs of the past two months. Venus’s favourite zodiac sign, Taurus, tends to wait, but while Venus is in Aries, there’s a push to be assertive. There’s a strange push-pull between ‘be assertive’ versus ‘wait’, or ‘start the new now’ versus ‘stay with loyal bonds’, yet by mid-month the way is clearer.
