Last Quarter Moon in Pisces

Phase Definition – Last Quarter

The Last Quarter Moon marks a time of integration, release, and spiritual surrender. As the lunar light wanes, we’re offered the chance to review the past three weeks with honesty and compassion. What aligned? What didn’t? Here, we face the inner tension between the Moon—our emotional truth—and the Sun—our outer will and direction. This phase invites us to shed outdated beliefs, realign with authenticity, and embrace peace through letting go.

Energetic Themes – Moon in Pisces

Pisces is the zodiac’s mystic, guiding us into realms of intuition, imagination, and divine connection. With the Moon here, sensitivity is heightened. Emotions may feel more fluid, and boundaries blur between self and spirit. It’s a beautiful time to release control, surrender to the unknown, and embrace the healing power of compassion. Let yourself be moved by dreams, music, art, or stillness. Let yourself feel.

Final Aspect: Moon in Pisces Square Sun in Gemini

This square between the Moon and Sun can bring tension between emotional truth and mental clarity. You may feel torn between what your intuition whispers and what your mind tries to organize. It’s okay to not have all the answers. Squares invite growth through friction. Let discomfort reveal the parts of you still clinging to illusions or mental over-efforting. This aspect nudges you to surrender—not with defeat, but with trust.

Sacred Reminder

From this watery Pisces moon, we move into the Waning Crescent in Aries—a quietly powerful space. Though Aries is a fire sign of new beginnings, this phase softens its flame. It becomes a time of inner courage, soulful surrender, and preparing the heart for a fresh start.

Let the flames purify gently. Let the ashes nourish what’s next.
