Moon phase on October 19, 2004

First quarter, 34% litMoon in Capricorn

The Moon was in Capricorn all day (UTC).

Born under a first quarter moon

At the first quarter the Moon looks like a half circle, lit on the right for viewers in the northern hemisphere. Astrologers read this as a crisis of action, the point where plans meet real obstacles. It suits decisions, problem solving and putting in steady effort. People born under this phase are often described as builders who like a challenge and grow stronger by clearing hurdles. If you are in it now, you may feel nudged to commit, adjust or let go of whatever is not working.

Write down the main obstacle in your way right now. Beside it, list two possible responses, then pick one and act on it before the Moon turns gibbous.

The Moon in Capricorn

When the Moon is in Capricorn, the collective mood turns serious, practical and goal focused. Many people feel more reserved and want to get things done properly. These days suit career planning, budgeting, long term projects, structured work and meetings with people in charge. Feelings may be expressed through effort rather than words. It helps to schedule a small reward, because the drive to achieve can overshadow the need for rest.
