3rd Qtr Moon Sag! Water Fire

A bunch of Pisces at this Quarter Moon in Sagittarius wants quiet, retreat, meditation, easy flow and rest, but the Quarter Moon in Sagittarius wants excitement, change, diversity, loudness and spontaneity. Try combining Piscean sensitivity with a Sagittarian ‘can do’ attitude. The thoughtfulness, respect and softness of Pisces helps with knowing when something really is going to be a bright idea or if later there will be repercussions.

Health goddess Hygeia and healing god Chiron are both in Pisces showing the benefits of Piscean gentleness and ‘easy does it’. Fire goddess Vesta is with both the Moon and Mars in Sagittarius helping contain sparks and flames. Mars is in a tight trine with Uranus, planet of the unexpected. At best, this could bring uplifting surprises and even winning moments. At worst, it could bring stressful shocks out of the blue.

If something random throws you, imagine goddess Vesta holding out a container for your fire. New ideas come from allowing careful creative communication with the honesty and freedom of fire. Think of a lit tealight candle and how the wax turns to fluid, but it’s contained within the holder. The fluid represents Pisces (Pisces being the water element), and the lit wick is Sagittarius. The holder keeps both the fluid (Pisces hot emotions) and the fire (Sagittarius) in place.

If you keep aiming your self-expression with containment, this Quarter Moon has the feel of a roomful of glittering tealights, with laughing, singing, dancing, reverence, respect and noise levels just right. If your spark has gone out, use the Sagittarius vibe to do something spontaneous, even as simple as buying take-away if you usually always cook. If you’re overdoing things, use the Pisces vibe to slow your breath and even meditate on a candle to help bring your fire back into a safe place, with easy flow and rest to avoid blowing a gasket.
