You may know about the lunar phases and lunar cycle as most have heard of this even if you don't know any astrology. But how well do you know each lunar phase? There are 4 Quarter Moon Phases in the lunar cycle, and each corresponds to a different type of energy. The 4th Quarter Moon Phase is the time for cleaning things out. The Quarter Moon Phases in Astrology
The New Moon is the 1st Quarter Moon Phase, and is the time when the transit (moving) Sun and Moon align. The phase is a time of beginnings, to start anew, and has higher energy that lasts for a week up to a year.
Coming after the New Moon but before the Full Moon, the 2nd Quarter Moon Phase is when the transit Sun and Moon square (90 degrees or 3 signs apart). As we're going from the New Moon to the Full Moon, this phase is a time to adjust. The Full Moon is the 3rd Quarter Moon Phase, and is when the transit Sun and Moon oppose. This is a time where we reap what we've sown and see results, and comes with emotional energy. Coming after the Full Moon but before the next New Moon, the 4th Quarter Moon Phase is when the transit Sun and Moon square again. As we're leaving the emotional Full Moon and readying for the New Moon, this is a time to clear things out. 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 4th Quarter Moon Phase, the sign it's in can tell us how or what we need to let go of, move on from, clean up, or clear out. The 4th Quarter Moon Phase in the Zodiac Signs
