The Moon squares the Sun at 13°41′ Taurus on 6 August 2026, 02:24 UTC — ninety degrees of separation, and a half-lit disc in the sky.
The last quarter is the releasing square. The cycle has peaked and this is the point at which it is worth deciding what to stop carrying. In Taurus what asks to be released is usually logistics — cost, time, and the unglamorous question of who is actually going to do the work.
