The Moon squares the Sun at 5°55′ Gemini on 24 February 2026, 12:29 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 Gemini the resistance tends to arrive as second-guessing, and the temptation to keep discussing a thing instead of choosing it.
