First Quarter Moon Phase - Moon in Aries/Taurus
Ruling Mahavidya: Matangi
There is often a great relief that is felt when we moved from Crescent Moon phase to First Quarter Moon phase. Crescent Moon phase challenges and tests us. It can be quite exhausting energetically. The main thing to take away from the Crescent Moon phase is what we "saw." What were we enlightened about? What did we learn about life, ourselves, others, nature - anything. What did we learn about fear? Matangi teaches these things. She takes care of what needs to be taken care of, but in the process, she likes to be taken care of, too. In other words, she would be overjoyed at being appreciated. The Mahavidyas are having their own experiences, too. But it is boring and a little disappointing when it is a one way street - when we don't give back. A simple thank you is sufficient. An attempt at conversation would send them over the Moon. So consider having a conversation with them. We have a Sun-Mercury conjunction and the Moon will square it before the Moon moves in Taurus. The Venus-Pluto intensity is waning, which brings a calming effect. We are entering energy that will be very grounding. We could set things firmly in place, as if we were digging a hole, pouring in concrete, and setting a post. Anything set up or activated or intended this month will have an exceptionally strong foundation.
