Crescent Moon Phase – Moon in Taurus – Ruling Mahavidya: Matangi
There are two main things in operation today. One current involves themes of loyalty and guardianship. This energy drives us toward protecting people, places, things, ideas, and principles that are meaningful to us. Our actions today demonstrate where our loyalties lie and what is truly valuable to us.
The other current involves making a connection with something before Mercury stations retrograde tomorrow. This connection is also with people, places, things, ideas, and principles. The universe is conspiring to make this connection, so we need only to follow along with our day. There is a lot of “congestion” in the energy, so the universe will be cutting through a lot to make the connection.
Thursday’s First Quarter Moon is quite interesting, and perhaps a bit daunting, as symbolized by two very important astrological factors that accompany it. The first is the limiting, restrictive and conservative archetype of Saturn, highly emphasized in this configuration, and corresponding as well to the nature of this phase, which represents a mild crisis in the accomplishment of the tasks that were self-imposed in the enthusiasm and rush of energy of the Aquarius New Moon from the end of the previous month. This week, the Sun remains in Aquarius, while the Moon has traveled on to solid and pleasure-loving Taurus, in square with the Sun, and in opposition to Saturn in Scorpio. Saturn is also contraparallel to the Moon and in close parallel with its ruler, Venus, just coming out of retrograde and still conjoined with intense Pluto.
