At 11:22 AM EST on May 27, 2023 the waxing crescent moon will reach First Quarter in Virgo โ๏ธโ giving us a keen eye for organization, our work life, daily routines and our health and wellness. This also marks the first full week of this new lunation and post eclipse timeline shift. The planet of expansion and abundance, Jupiter, will be in conjunction with the North Node on Saturday.

In this blog post, we will explore the significance of the First Quarter Moon in Virgo and the conjunction between Jupiter and the North Node in Taurus. Together, these energies inspire us to harness our potential, tap into our innate talents, and embark on a path of growth and prosperity.
First Quarter Moon๐Lunar Wisdom Formula
This First Quarter Moon is in the Mutable/Maven sign of Virgo, the Maidenโ๏ธโโ providing a gentle entryway into the emotional timeline shift. This is a time of adjustment as the dust settles from the Mercury Retrograde and we can finally get into the energy of the 2nd Quarter of the year, just before we approach the Summer Solstice.
The First quarter moon is 50% illumination and the midway point to full light. The energy of this moon phase indicates taking action. We are now in the midst of Retrograde Season with Pluto and Saturn having begun their backwards sojourn in the sky.
Since First Quarter Moons only happen for 1 day, this is going to be a supercharged 24 hour period to bridge the pathway between our former and current timeline. And donโt forget that since eclipses are such powerful events, you may still be assessing the endings and beginnings that have come from the Spring series. This energy signature will be with us for at least the next 6 months.
Lunar cycles are 28-29 days in total. And this particular lunar cycle is marked by a number of special events. This is halfway through the Yang or masculine portion (waxing phase ๐โ๐โ๐โ๐โ๐) of the lunar cycle, so you will have energy to take action.
Make sure to take some time to feel into this new reality and the intentions that youโve set for this New Moon. This is the active point of the Lunar Wisdom Formula where we set the tone and put things in motion that become self-perpetuating once the Full Moon arrives.
What to do this week:โ
โ
๐ Feel into your New Moon intentions so you are comfortable with how they will fit into your life
๐ Map out your action steps for bringing your intentions into your life
๐ Give yourself some mental space to really notice how you are feeling and what you are thinking. This could be through doing a walking meditation or going into nature and just being.

ASSESS THE SITUATION
Stop, breathe and take stock. Perhaps youโve taken on too much?
Now is the time to be reliable and practical. Laziness is your enemy.
Also, donโt be too influenced by โthe crowdโ and what theyโre saying. Do you still want what you used to want, and as much? If so, are you really doing what needs to be done to make your dreams real?
Express how you feel, but do it without too much selfโcriticism or criticism of others. Make an honest inventory about where you could do more to manifest your dreams.
Manifesting Mix
The energies at play here are a mix of flirtatious and shy, enquiring and hesitant. You need to work them in your favour.
Manifesting Mindset
This card asks you to be mentally flexible. Whatever challenges you face, your current situation is unlikely to be at a total impasse.
Tune into your manifesting powers
The Throat chakra (Vishudha) helps you to express yourself, your desires, and whether you need more time to think about something. Itโs located at the base of the throat and is a beautiful sky blue colour.
Visualize a column of the purest sky blue light pouring down over you as you hold the card to the base of your throat, and call in the energies with these words:
โEnergies of the First Quarter Moon in Virgo, thank you for helping me to towards clarity and confidence!โ
When to manifest your magic
The best time to work your magic is when the Moon is in Virgo, on a Wednesday (Mercuryโs day) or during Mercuryโs hour.
The First Quarter Moon in Virgo takes place when the Sun is in Gemini and the Moon is in Virgo. It knows that itโs never too late to change your way of thinking.
