October 10th, 2024: First Quarter Moon

• First Quarter Capricorn Moon (17 deg)

• Venus in Scorpio quincunx Jupiter Rx in Gemini/Chiron Rx in Aries (21 deg)

The First Quarter Moon (square the Libra Sun) suggests a crisis of boundaries. The situation has become unbalanced, perhaps due to lack of authority - attempts to maintain harmony have led to you feeling disrespected. Change occurs if you actively set boundaries and respect yourself (the respect is reflected back at you).

Venus (ruler of Libra) forms the focal point of a Yod to Jupiter and Chiron Rx. They are closing in on a sextile with each other (exact on Oct 12th) which implies healing through hope. However, Venus' quincunxes are incompatible aspects- the relationship, financial or self-esteem issue may feel too heavy and out of synch with your attempts to heal. Perhaps you totally avoid it and stay on the surface or swing towards exaggerated expressions of darker issues, resulting in more pain.

The focal point of a Yod is the goal- a concentrated expression. While difficult to activate, it's actually the key to unlocking the Yod. Small adjustments should be made- healing through faith plus a closer look at what hurts can be gradually funnelled through a secret or taboo issue - dip a toe in the water and slowly lower yourself in while reminding yourself of what you've learned about pain and recovery. Inch forward and explore the underside of what you love or want. Apply intellect to instinctive matters.

Diving in headfirst could be traumatic but a gradual approach can increase your comfort with the darkness while helping you express love/values/shared resources in a way that embraces pain and faith.

In the context of the First Quarter Moon, you're addressing the imbalance via a measured approach to what's beneath the surface.
