First Quarter in Aquarius

In 75 days
The Moon squares the Sun at 25°09′ Aquarius on 17 November 2026, 11:49 UTC — ninety degrees of separation, and a half-lit disc in the sky.
The first quarter is the friction point of the waxing half of the cycle. What was begun at the new moon meets its first real resistance here, and the square is the aspect that asks whether you meant it. In Aquarius the resistance tends to arrive as second-guessing, and the temptation to keep discussing a thing instead of choosing it.
