First Quarter in Virgo

The Moon squares the Sun at 2°21′ Virgo on 23 May 2026, 11:13 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 Virgo the resistance tends to arrive as logistics — cost, time, and the unglamorous question of who is actually going to do the work.
