First Quarter Moon
Firstly lets just discuss what a first quarter moon is… The first quarter moon comes after a new moon,and you are probably familiar with what a New Moon brings, but incase your not to sum it up in a few short words - A New Moon brings New energy and a New Beginning.
So usually whether we realise it or not when a new moon comes we tend of committed to something, began something new or new energy has been added to something renewed. So when it comes to the first quarter moon we are presented with our first hurdle. There is always a crisis theme surrounding a first quarter moon, and we are asked to take action and make a choice or a decision in regards to all that took place on the New Moon.
Okay so lets look a little deeper at this… The New Moon was on the 25th August 2014 in the Sign of Virgo - Depending on your ascendant sign the moon will influence different sectors of your life

‘’On Tuesday morning, a First Quarter Moon occurs when the Sun in Virgo forms a square with the Sagittarius Moon. There is a crisis theme surrounding any quarter Moon phase, as we feel compelled to take action. Shortly after, we are made aware of how our actions affect those close to us, perhaps through trial and error. Whatever project or initiative we began around the New Moon on August 25th is now off the ground, and it may face its first obstacles… ‘’ - Cafe Astrology
Now as you can see from above the moon was in the sign of virgo on the new moon now the sun (in virgo) is squaring the First quarter moon in sagittarius… So First let's briefly state that the Sun (heart) is squaring (causing disharmony/stress) with the Moon (mind subconscious)...
So here i feel there will be a tug of war between heart and mind. Now merging with the signs sun in virgo, is or can be seen as perfection we are in search of that perfect…. -fill in the blank (in regard to the house it is sitting in). and Sagittarius is all about spiritual knowledge, the knowing deep down what feels right what is spiritually calling you - following the heart…
So here we have the the wanting of things to be simple, equal, fair, perfect and the calculating of your emotions and the reasoning behind what the heart wants… We all know that the heart knows best, for it can see what the eyes and logic don’t see. So we have you analysing, organising & weighing up the heart and on top of this we have, the sagittarius first quarter moon causing us to take action (in the house it sitting in and aspects). The answer is simple… to listen to your higher self you need to stop thinking, clear your mind out and you will know what to do. Trust in your intuition…
Now you only have until the 5th of September before venus switches also into virgo, which will cause you more confusion and may even cause you to step away from the matter of the heart. At the moment Venus is in Leo, which yes causes a lot of pride to get in the way of things but it is also ruled by sun and so you can get a bit more clear about what your heart wants if you're able to step away from your ego self.

So as you can see in the first column venus will be in these houses up until the 5th of September then it will move to the next house along… For example, Gemini Asc people, have venus in there 3rd house… So this enables them to communicate effectively from the heart, could also show all forms of communication like media, and also short distance travel and connecting with siblings as they are all 3rd house things…
Now Mercury will be in Libra until 27th September so this is all about our intellect and how we see things and rationalise things… We maybe wanting to make compromises around this time… For example the Gemini Ascendant has there mercury in the 5th house, which is about creatively expressing their self, it’s about learning, dad, children and the arts so maybe there intellect will be heavy focused on learning important lessons and finding ways of expressing all they have learnt.
Now Mars is where your energy is being placed at the moment, what’s your action and drive and for example a capricorn ascendant energy is heavily focused upon their social network, friends and building upon that. They have a desire to meet more people and connect with them.. and looking at there venus in 8th house is showing that in term of love they are making dramatic changes, they are emotional and up and down, it’s either all or nothing at all… IT’s dark and there focus is being pulled into the negative aspects a lot with this… big changes with there love. There mind is focused on how other people see them, the way their work colleagues see them, building contacts and thinking about their career path is what has these peoples thinking about.

Aries First Quarter moon
I think with Aries there beliefs are being challenged… They might be questioning old beliefs with new ones at this time and maybe even higher learning now the sun in the 6th house is causing you conflict in the areas of everyday life. So here the Sun in the 6th house is causing you stress and disharmony with your belief system in regards to six house things like relationships with coworkers, money issues, fighting, divorce or maybe you even been a little bit ill… Could be faced with many challenges at this time, you are being forced to learn some very important lessons. Or maybe you're studying law, medicine and it’s causing you much headaches. Your heart is in the right the place, you're trying to find ways of expressing all you have learnt… But Mercury in the 7th house is showing your intellect is being made to pay attention to your partnerships or relationships in general and your energy is being drawn to take action, dramatic action as it’s all or nothing type thing. There are a lot of ups and downs for you but a transformation is coming and you will get to the bottom of a problem you have been trying to solve. The problem or hurdle you might face is to do with learning something new or having to travel somewhere to solve the issue at hand.
Taurus Ascendant
Okay so your energy and focus for taurus ascendant people is on your partnerships and relationships. Your intellect is on family, business and property… maybe even making plans to renovate and make the home better. The Sun in the 5th house of children, creativity, business, education and media is causing you disharmony with your mind being on the in laws, loans, sudden ups and downs, rising up after a fall… could be a lot of emotional turbulence and it brings sudden transformation your mind and subconscious. The choice you might have to make will be to do with making a big change that you set out to do, maybe things have not gone as planned and its causing you to make a change.
Gemini Ascendant
So here we have your childhood, conveniences like travel and money, family and your peace of mind are causing problems with your relationships and partnerships. You have been thinking a lot about your relationships and maybe your childhood is somehow stepping in the way of it bringing your peace and harmony. You have a beautiful opportunity to connect with siblings and talk things over, maybe you have made short distance travels to see them or just gone on a trip. You are finding it easier to communicate from the heart at this time. Your business mind however is all on how you can creatively express something, it’s about shining in your career. Your energy at this time will be focused upon how others see you in term of work, it will be about your health regime, getting over an illness and overcoming any obstacles. You might come aware of people who do not have your best interests at heart and also there could be a lot of arguments over these matters. You will be making important decisions on your relationships and partnerships.
Cancer Ascendant
So here we have problems arising with your siblings, communication might not be taken so well in regards to your work, your coworkers, your health, fitness, money or fighting in general you might find yourself in a bit of a war zone when it comes to communicating and your siblings or even short distance travel.. But even if they cannot see it your heart is in the right place and you're not just doing it for yourself even if they cannot understand you. You looking at ways to earn some extra money, to improve your home, or to be able to buy a new car and your energy is on you shining, showing off what you can do and finding comfort upon that. your be making a decision to do with your health, or coworkers.
Leo Ascendant
So here we have you wanting to make some assets for your family, contribute to the family business you maybe wanting to spend a little more but its causing some conflict or stress in terms of your speculative business, your minds of expressing your self and learning more… IT’s about shining in the position you have been given but it’s like you cannot fully embrace this because you having to take your responsibilities and devote it to that area of your life rather than enjoying your successes. Your wanting to spend more, indulge, dress up, fall in love and you're really focusing upon yourself when you're being pulled to focus more on others. Your intellect and business head is on your communication, short distance travel and siblings. while your energy is having to be focus in your home life, travel or other household conveniences like a new car, renovating the home, replacing the old stuff. You will be making a decision on how others see you, maybe to do with fun, entertainment or showing off some talent.
Virgo Ascendant
The Sun in your first house of self could indicate that you are bringing some disharmony within the home… you're also very focused upon something that you cannot see, something hidden, the shadow aspect of yourself, thats causing you to feel a bit lost… when all your intellect is telling you to more family oriented and your energy and drive is going into your communication. Your choice will be to do with home life.
Libra
With the sun in the twelfth house of privacy, hidden, subconscious mind and losses your thinking about things not of this world, being taken away to escape whatever is causing you trouble, like people not really understanding you of late, maybe disagreements with siblings or confusion over travel plans… Venus is in your 11th which shows that your heart is being around friends right now and you're trying to think logically yet your energy is being taken to the family again. Your choice will be to do with communication.
Scorpio Ascendant
Your sun is lighting up the house of gains and social networks having said that its also causing stress or disharmony with your joint assets, family business, family assets or something to do with money… maybe your friends are not being very fair of late and you're being a little to giving. Career for you is looking up and looking good maybe you have met someone in the office, or your simply gaining some recognition for people in relations to your work. You're trying to make rational decisions that require are different outlook… saying that you have much energy you're willing to fight and stand up for what you believe in, might be feeling very passionate or aggressive could be either or with scorpio as they are a all or nothing type in the zodac
Sagittarius Ascendant
For you guys the sun has lit up your career sector, however there is a big change that has caused you to maybe feel a little emotional or out of place. The newness of the change could make you feel a bit up and down and nervous even as the sun is conjunct you… but you can deal with the challenge it’s about believing in yourself. You having to dedicate a lot of your time to higher learning and in the field of study to a degree also but it will be doing something you love… Your social circle is expanding and with it comes intellectual sorts. But you're really energy comes from a spiritual awakening, for indulging in the subconscious mind and your imagination and creating something behind the scenes. The choice you will have to make is about your self and our emotions.
Capricorn Ascendant
Here we have a conflict between your spiritual beliefs and your philosophical ones. It’s almost as though you're trying to teach/learn something that is spiritual but does not connect with you… something thats hidden and behind the scenes. You may be going through a period of change, ups and downs and getting to the bottom of a situation. People are looking to you for logical advice in terms of work they see you as the intellect and your energy is going into reaching more people and making more contacts. I feel your focus is on your social network and friends and making them happy to gain something later on down the line…You will be seeing some hidden truths here too. I also see that the change you desired with love, is a big one, its all or nothing at all, have you made the right choice here? listen to your higher self, and maybe stop logicalising everything to appease everyone else. The choice you will have to make is about looking at your beliefs and getting rid of old ones.
Aquarius Ascendant
So you might of been making a few changes of late, been a bit up and down… But somehow it has caused more stress with your friends, friends and your social network are involved here. I also see that your heart is trying to focus upon your marriage, partnership or relationships and your friends maybe getting a little too involved. Your recalling all you have learnt and seeking some advice and assistance right now. Yet your fight and your energy is being used in the career sector to do with how your work colleagues may see you. You might be a leader… I feel the choice you will have to make without knowing is to do with your friends, knowing who your real ones are.
Pisces Ascendant
So here we have you partnership, relationship or marriage getting in the way or posing more stress upon you in regards to career, your line of work, or how your work colleagues see you. You may of recently got a new pet, and just going along with the daily routine, there may of bit a little bit of a sickness but i think that will be all clearing up… your looking at ways to logicalise everything, lots has been happening, there has been much change yet you still have the faith everything is going to okay… and it will be. your energy is been pushed to the limits with everyone wanting a piece of you! to top it off you may have to travel long distance to somewhere, there is an increase of learning to help ease up the tension and create some solutions. I feel the choice you will be making will be to do with work… after all pisces always follow the hearts in the end…
I hope i have made this make some sense so you can all take a little something from it… the energy is a little harsh right now… To find out your Ascendant sign just drop me an email or comment with your Time, Place and Date of birth… ensure you have the specifics otherwise it will not make sense to you.
