Last quarter, 60% litMoon in Libra

The Moon was in Libra all day (UTC).

Born under a last quarter moon

At the last quarter, the Moon again appears half lit, but now the light is fading. Astrologers call this a crisis of consciousness, a moment to question what still serves you and what can go. It suits decluttering, ending commitments that feel hollow and reviewing what this cycle taught you. Those born under a last quarter moon are often described as reformers who see beyond the present and want to change outdated systems. Living through it can feel like a quiet clearing of the decks.

Spend fifteen minutes clearing one small space, such as a drawer, an inbox or a bag. As you work, notice which objects or tasks you feel relieved to release.

The Moon in Libra

When the Moon passes through Libra, the mood leans toward harmony, fairness and partnership. People often want to smooth things over and enjoy beauty together. These days suit negotiation, dates, collaborations, decorating and resolving disagreements with grace. Decisions can take longer because everyone is weighing both sides. It is a gracious time for thank you notes, shared meals and small gestures that bring balance back into relationships.
