First Quarter in Cancer

The Moon squares the Sun at 15°34′ Cancer on 5 April 2025, 02:17 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 Cancer the resistance tends to arrive as an old feeling attaching itself to a new situation and making it heavier than it is.
