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

It’s a quarter moon in affectionate Cancer. Have you got your sentimental love songs playing? Even though you don’t want to leave your core relationships, there’s also a pull toward other connections. Jupiter, which has recently entered Libra inspires moves toward those who share similar interests or values, plus there’s a wish to be understood by someone outside your usual clan. The quarter moon is at the very start of Cancer, 00 degrees. If there’s someone you would like to bond with, now’s a good time to test the waters. With this moon happening on the same day as the September Equinox, there’s a feeling it’s possible to find a good balance in both your core relationships and other ones over the next few months. Mercury has just finished being retrograde, and is now opposite Neptune, the god of fantasy. Your daydreams will help you work out whether you are a bit moonstruck or if you really are in contact with genuine relationship needs. This tender quarter moon can help deepen intimacy in your current core relationships, so much so you might find all your new adventures at home. The watery soul energies of Cancer open up inner thoughts and feelings at this time to bring answers to your love questions.
