๐โ๏ธโ LAST QUARTER MOON IN PISCES & THE FIRE DANCE๐ฅโ OF VENUS & MARS 2023
At 3:31 PM EST, we will experience the Last Quarter Moon in Pisces โ๏ธโ which will close out our first lunar cycle since the Eclipses. If you are back to manifesting this is a time to release, rest, digest and allow the efforts taken before the Full Moon to reach maturity with the rising energy.
In addition to this anchor point in the lunar cycle, we have a lot going on in the weekly Astro weather. Just this past Monday, June 5, the summer love forecast shifted from mild to wild as Venus entered beautiful Leo, wrapping the cosmic catwalk in eye-popping colors and sensual, sequined sizzle. This is creating a conjunction between the Cosmic Lovers in a Fire sign, as Mars moved into Leo on May 20th.
So think of Cupid's menu for the summer heat as including massive courtshipsโthat are not just for a night or two. Since Venus, The love planet is in Leo for an extra-long four-month display (through October 8), rather than the typical four weeks and Mars will be there until July 10th.
And Tomorrow on Sunday, June 11th Pluto exits Aquarius, via retrograde motion, and begins one of its two final circuits in Capricorn before departing the Sea Goat's sanctum forever on November 19, 2024. While this retrograde lasts until October 10, it necessitates a thorough examination of our economics, structures, and relationship to power. Pluto only visits each sign once every 248 years.
The rest of this blog will be discussing the mix of these current energies and how you can apply the Lunar Wisdom Formula to make the best of this final phase as we approach the New Moon in Gemini on June 18th.
Last Quarter Moon๐:Lunar Wisdom Formula
Last Quarter Moons only happen for 1 day, during the waning phase of the Lunar cycle, where the light is fading and the moon goes dark ๐ โ. This 24 hour period can become a magical game changer in your manifestation practice. It is also a great fixed point to check in from a Stellar Planning perspective and make adjustments according to how you feel (the moon).
Lunar Cycles are 28-29 days in total. During the las 14 days of the waning phase ๐๐๐๐๐ its time to release and let go of any attachments to the seeds planted or intentions set. This is the Yin or feminine receptive portion of the cycle where we need to let the energy do the work for us and get into observer mode.
This particular phase is also characterized by low energy and extreme tired as the moon light drops below 25%.
The Last Quarter Moon happens 7.5 - 10 Days after the Full Moon, lasts only for 1 day and reduce energy levels and increase the need for clear.
Itโs a time to analyze & release any thoughts, energies and patterns that arenโt serving you anymore.

๐ Get organized and re-focus on the things that are important to complete and tie up loose ends
๐ Get plenty of rest- go to bed early and take an afternoon nap if you feel called
๐ Analyze whatโs going well and release/let go of whatโs no longer serving
Last Quarter Moon in Pisces๐โ๏ธโโโ: Lunar Wisdom Formula
The Last Quarter Moon in Pisces๐โ๏ธโโโ โ can be a transformative and enlightening experience. This lunar phase invites us to delve into our subconscious, release what no longer serves us, and prepare for new beginnings. Here are three ways to harness the energy of the Last Quarter Moon in Pisces:
Embrace Intuition and Reflection: During this phase, it is essential to listen to the whispers of your intuition and connect with your inner self. Set aside time for quiet contemplation, meditation, or journaling to reflect on your emotions, dreams, and aspirations. Pay attention to the messages that arise from your subconscious, as they may hold valuable insights and guidance. Trust your intuition to guide you in making decisions and let go of any emotional baggage that may be holding you back.
Release and Surrender: The Last Quarter Moon in Pisces encourages us to release and let go of what is no longer serving our highest good. It is a time to shed old patterns, limiting beliefs, and emotional attachments that no longer resonate with our authentic selves. Engage in rituals of release, such as writing down what you wish to let go of and burning the paper, or taking a symbolic cleansing bath. By surrendering to the flow of the universe and relinquishing control, you create space for new opportunities and experiences to enter your life.
Connect with Spiritual Practices: Pisces is a sign known for its spiritual and mystical nature. Use this lunar phase to deepen your spiritual practices and connect with higher realms.

TALK LESS, FEEL MORE
The danger in your current situation is that youโre going to be really good at starting things and less good at finishing them.
This card suggests that you need to talk less and feel more, so rather than telling people what you want now, โfeelโ your feelings about what you want.
What comes up? Do you believe in yourself or not? Perhaps you started strong but are running out of steam. If so, go within and ask yourself how committed you are to your goals. Remember that itโs okay to change your mind.
Manifesting Mix
One of the current energies is all about feelings and the other is in its head. Where are you? Can you meld the two? Thatโs the way.
Manifesting Mindset
Why ruin a moment with words? Sometimes feelings are enough. Itโs good to talk, but itโs also good just to be.
Tune into your manifesting powers
These crystals work especially well for the sign of Pisces: Purple Fluorite, Labradorite, Sodalite, Amethyst, Desert Rose Selenite or Celestite.
Choose one and hold it while you meditate, visualizing a lustrous golden light swirling around you.
Alternatively, keep your crystal close by as you work through your situation, or use five or six to make a crystal grid.
Your manifestation affirmation
โI feel all my feelings and it feels good!โ
When to manifest your magic
The best time to work your magic is when the Moon is in Pisces, on a Thursday (Jupiterโs day) or during Jupiterโs hour.
The Last Quarter Moon in Pisces takes place when the Sun is in Gemini and the Moon is in Pisces. It knows that thereโs a time and a place for conversation.
The Fire Dance Of Venus & Mars 2023โ๏ธโ๐ฅโ
Venus enters Leo today and will remain there until OCTOBER. It is joining up with Mars that has been in this sign since May 20th. These 2 planets are the masculine and feminine archetypes of the Zodiac and I often refer to them as the Cosmic Lovers๐.โ
You'd be correct if you thought "that's a long time for Venus to be in a sign!" Venus will go retrograde in July before leaving the sign, giving us a threefold dosage of Leo energy in our relationships and allowing us to receive on a deeper level.
That is, we are learning to LOVE OUT LOUD. This entails feeling deeply appreciative and pouring compliments on the people, situations, and energy in our lives for whom we are grateful. In all relationships, including your own, now is the moment to lavish additional attention and affection on yourself.
But only if you truly believe it. False expressions of gratitude, affection, and putting people on pedestals they don't want to be on are all off limits in this energy.
Keeping oneself on a pedestal that someone else has placed you on. There is a gentle reminder that the words, energy, and familial programming you are subjected to can prevent some of your best ideas from blossoming into seasons in your life.
Be wary of accepting harmful stories and projections that others may place on us...or that we were born into. Untangle yourself from these images and memories so you can enter new seasons of your life with clarity... rather than viewing yourself through the eyes of everyone else.
When the lovely Venus enters the expressive Leo, we're ready to declare our love to the entire world. Leo is a Fire sign that is all about having fun, being creative, displaying oneself, and being honest and real, therefore this vitality ignites love like a blazing fire.
Expect spectacular dates, over-the-top expressions of love, and possibly a few jealousy fits. All of your feelings will feel great, and they will be communicated in some form.
As the new moon approaches, focus on the areas of your chart ruled by Pisces, Leo and Gemini for clues as to how this energy will play out specifically for you over the next week and beyond.
Practice โjust beingโ not doing right now as you allow things to firm up around your manifestations from the Taurus New Moon. Take a knee related to your goals as the waning phase is all about resting and reconsidering as we await the first light of the new moon.
Blessed Be๐โโจโ
