Cancer First Quarter Moon Monday, April 15

The key phrases for the First Quarter lunar phase are “take action,” & “build new structures to support our intentions.”

This can be a difficult phase for Cancer. First Quarter energy wants to forge straight ahead (& so does the Aries Sun!), while Cancer energy wants to sidle quietly up to its goal. So frustrating.

The strong Cancer Moon is strengthened by a close trine to Neptune/Pisces. Both are in the sign they rule. We rely on intuition & on our “gut” feelings.

If you prefer to directly influence things (bearing in mind that Mercury is still retrograde!), wait for the Moon to enter Leo - Tuesday, April 16, 02:24 UT to Thursday, April 18, 12:02 UT. There’s even an Opportunity Period at the end, from 21:20 UT on Wednesday the 17th, to 12:02 UT the next day.
