Moon phase on October 7, 2012
The Moon moved from Gemini into Cancer that day (UTC), so the time of day decides which.
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 Those born under a last quarter moon are often described as reformers who see beyond the present and want to change outdated systems.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 Cancer
When the Moon is in Cancer, its home sign, feelings run closer to the surface for almost everyone. People tend to crave comfort, familiarity and the company of those they trust. These days suit cooking a favourite meal, tidying the home, calling family and looking after yourself and others. Sensitivity is higher, so gentle words go further than usual. It is a good time for nesting rather than pushing hard in public.
