First Quarter in Taurus

The Moon squares the Sun at 6°14′ Taurus on 26 January 2026, 04:49 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 Taurus the resistance tends to arrive as logistics — cost, time, and the unglamorous question of who is actually going to do the work.
