First Quarter

The First Quarter phase occurs when the Moon is 90 degrees ahead of the Sun, exactly half illuminated. This is a crisis point in the lunar cycle -- the square between Sun and Moon demands action and decision. Obstacles arise that test the commitment made at the New Moon. Those born under a First Quarter Moon are natural builders and fighters, wired to take decisive action under pressure. For timing, this phase favors overcoming resistance, making bold moves, and dealing with challenges head-on.
