Happy MARS day!
The Moon is now l in the first quarter phase of the Lunar cycle this morning and on day 7/8 of this lunar cycle. The Moon has 32.8% light as I write.

I am making this daily post free yet again because of ‘life’ things :)
Today is the first quarter Moon as we approach the first Eclipse on Sept 17/18. My podcast for the Pisces Eclipse on the 17th/18th
The restless, uncomfortable, energy of change, shifting perceptions, and adjustments is everywhere. Especially if you have a lot of mutable energy in your chart. That is Gemini, Virgo, Sagittarius, and Pisces.
It’s just not clear exactly where it’s going yet!
The first quarter Moon is at 2:05 AM Eastern tomorrow at exactly 19˚ Sagittarius/Virgo and, on the way to that first quarter, the Sun opposes revealer of abuses of power Centaur, Nessus in Pisces.
The Sagittarius Moon then makes a lovely mini Grand trine with sextiles to grace spinner and cosmic doula Chariklo in Aquarius and love Goddess Venus in Libra helping you to give yourself and others some grace and to hold space for change.
The truth seeking Sagittarius Moon then squares Saturn and Nessus in Pisces right before the first quarter Moon to the Virgo Sun and opposes Jupiter in Gemini forming another mutable Grand Cross that helps you to “align with information (Gemini) that is founded in natural laws and truth (Sagittarius), and adjustment (Virgo) of outdated viewpoints and opinions that are not based on universal, timeless principles (Pisces).”
Yes, we have been here before, several times since Jupiter began the journey through Gemini.
This is all happening from 15˚–20˚ of those mutable signs so anyone with placements around those degrees, especially those signs, will feel the shifting sands more acutely.
Pay attention to what comes up for you from within and without. Memories may arise, old limiting beliefs, and more. This may be from within or without. There’s likely to be something to process and release as we approach the Pisces Eclipse, the first Eclipse in Pisces as the Moon’s Nodes begin to move from Libra/Aries to Virgo/Pisces.
Other aspects today are a square from Mercury in Virgo to ‘talk to the hand’ Asteroid Lilith in Sagittarius bringing your attention even more to what you will no longer tolerate and how you speak your truth in more meaningful ways.
A trine from Vesta in Virgo to Ceres in Capricorn helps you to attune to building that life that meets your needs more.
John Sandbach’s symbols for the first quarter Moon reflect the shift to revealing and releasing but also the focus on how it shows up with you. Notice I did not go to the next degree as usual with the symbols because the quarter Moon is exact at 19˚.
Sagittarius 19. An old abandoned garden, everything under a blanket of ivy. (Omega Symbol) Manifesting/Responsible
(Degree Angel: Veuliah (vay-OO-lee-AH) Defying Gravity, Prosperity)
This degree wants to let everything be what its going to be – without coercion, effort, cultivation, or manipulation. It manifests a genuine naturalness that can sooth others and encourage them to be themselves. This is not a case of laziness, but rather a desire to not impose the self on the world, so that the world is free to go its own way. The agendas of nature are here allowed to take precedence over the egoic agendas of the self.
The Chandra Symbol for this degree is “A monstrous sea creature dead, washed up on the beach.” Things not usually or often seen are revealed. This degree is about bringing things to the surface, especially those things that are hidden in the depths of the self.
The sea creature is not monstrous to itself or its own kind, or to the others of its natural environment – it is only our fears that turn it into a monster. As we study it we begin to take in its beauty and to realize that there are other worlds where energy and consciousness has assumed forms far different from our own. How enriching! In this way we expand our vision of the universe and are more able to accept what comes our way and just let things be whatever they are, and whatever they want to become as time passes, like the garden of the Omega Symbol.
The Sabian symbol is “Pelicans changing their habitat”. For me this speaks to adaptability, another great word for the mutable Grand Cross. Adapting to changing views, circumstances, and ways of looking at things.
We are all being called to adapt.
Interestingly, this first quarter Moon is conjunct Dump’s Sagittarius South Node/Moon conjunction in his 4th house. Will his abusive traits be on full display in the debate tonight? I would say it’s likely. Jupiter is currently exactly conjunct with his Gemini North Node (and therefore, his Gemini Sun and Uranus) in his tenth house of public visibility and is the ‘ruler’ of his Moon/South Node. Jupiter is the law, the judge, or perhaps the prosecutor? This could be a very public reveal by the prosecutor?
Harris too has a lot of mutable energy including her Nodes at 24˚ Sagittarius/Gemini with her Gemini North Node conjunct her ascendant - her identity/public face.
The difference here is that the Virgo Sun is in her 4th house near her Venus/Pluto/Uranus conjunction which is likely to make her the revealer. Saturn in Pisces is also about to transit back over her 10th house Chiron for the second time which is, in my view, likely to put her in the position of strength in this pivotal debate. Though I am sure he will try his best to unsettle her.
Lastly, if you are in the path of Florence please be mindful that a Pisces Eclipse and all these energies could make it very damaging. Heed warnings and take good care.
Now, let’s see what card we have for the day.

Remember,
Joy is an act of revolution.

The card for the day is Four of Wands. Light Seers Tarot
Another 4 card after the 4 of cups yesterday. That could be seen as reflecting the four points of the mutable Grand Cross today too :)
4 is a number of stability and completion. Also the 4 elements and directions. A call to integrate all that you are.
Wands cards are fire and passion.
The 4 of Wands card signifies a gathering of souls/people, a celebration, an important milestone, stability in relationships.
The affirmation for this deck is “I am devoted to connectedness”.
Keep going <3
Love to you.
