​Most of us are familiar with the concept of the lunar cycle and the lunar phases, and have likely heard of the quarter moon phases. But you may not be super familiar with what each of them mean! Each phase corresponds to a different type of energy. The 2nd Quarter Moon Phase is the time for adjustments. The Quarter Moon Phases in Astrology
The 1st Quarter Moon is what's known as the New Moon. This is the start of a cycle, and it corresponds to new beginnings. It has high energy, and this can last for a week up to a year.
The 2nd Quarter Moon comes after the New Moon and before the Full Moon. Since it's going from the new beginnings of the New Moon to the endings of the Full Moon, it's a time to adjust. We can be more flexible and make changes in order to stay on track with what we've started and see the results we're looking for. The 3rd Quarter Moon is what's known as the Full Moon. This is when the Moon reaches its apex, it's fullest and brightest, so this is the time when we see endings, culminations, reap what we've sown, and make realizations. This is emotional energy. The 4th Quarter Moon comes after the Full Moon and before the New Moon. Since it's after the emotional Full Moon and gearing up for the enthusiastic New Moon, this phase corresponds to cleaning up and clearing out. It's time to get rid of whatever you can in a healthy way to free you up once the New Moon hits. Each Quarter Moon Phase lasts about 1 week, and occurs in different Zodiac signs. They're usually in sets of signs in the same quality/modality (cardinal, fixed, mutable). The sign the phase is in tells you about the specific energy of that phase. In the case of the 2nd Quarter Moon Phase, the sign it's in can tell us how or what we need to adjust. The 2nd Quarter Moon Phase in the Zodiac Signs
