★,。・:*:・゚☆ FIRST QUARTER ★,。・:*:・゚☆
This month's Oracle deck is by 'The Wild Way' by the amazing Nicola Allan. Nicola utilizes whimsical images of animal ambassadors among the flora and fauna she is deeply connected to in her homeland of Scotland. Here we integrate nature, the zodiac signs, their decans, and the associated Tarot to formulate a combination of historic wisdom through modern guidance. You can purchase any of Nicola's offerings here.
FIRST QUARTER
This part of the cycle is often referred to by astrologers as a "crisis of action" because we must make a concerted effort by nurturing the new "seed" into reality to prevent the impulse (associated with this lunation) from dying. It is time for action by disallowing any insecurity to prevent us from the task at hand. If what we desire or need is in alignment with our destiny, things will develop and continue to grow.
According to Jim Scher, "This is a time for us to use our Will to fulfill the intention of the new "seed".
Nicola Allan reiterates the importance of the above in this delightful illustration of a mouse celebrating the growth of his garden. She says that the First Quarter Moon encourages us to keep nurturing our projects and to trust in the process of growth, even when faced with obstacles.
It's a reminder that with patience and care, our efforts can yield impressive results, just like the once tiny seeds that now stand tall in the moonlit garden. Just as the Moon is now showing half of its illuminated face, our mouse friend's garden is displaying tangible progress, with each planet standing tall and strong.
This lunation marks the midpoint between last week's New Moon in Cancer and next week's Full Moon in Capricorn. This lunation is equally balanced between light and darkness, symbolizing balance, decision making, and action from those decisions. The increasing light is strengthening to represent growth through commitment to action.
"It's a time of overcoming challenges and pushing forward with the plans set in motion at the New Moon and nurturing during the Waxing Crescent phase" adds Allan.

After a tense Sunday morning, the afternoon and evening produce cooperative energy. The Moon conjunct Mars in Virgo, fueling our mental acuity. Anything we undertake personally and professionally between now and void-of-course Moon Tuesday can prove highly successful.
No major aspects Monday, so carry on with yesterday's forecast by remembering that anything we undertake personally and professionally between now and void-of-course Moon Tuesday (@ 4:47 PM EDT) can prove highly successful. If you haven't yet, take the step. Commit.
Tuesday night the Moon in Libra opposes Saturn and Neptune in Aries within an hour. The challenge here is "the conquest of illusion." The goal is to stay in the 'Now' and not be distracted by some nostalgic mirage. Reconciling the polarity of these opposites requires eschewing the temptation of distraction.
Wednesday brings the First Quarter Square Moon 11°LIBRA10', 12th house, the natural home of Pisces ruled by Neptune. This lunation's signature wisdom is: Someone giving in can sometimes make everything better. In this case, it would be to patience.
No Major Aspects Thursday: Venus enters Gemini Friday morning discussion. In earlier times, Venus was referred to as the "lesser benefic" because her action is gentle and harmonious. It's important to understand that Venus is the planet of love and sensuality, not sex.
Friday Neptune Stations Retrograde and Venus enters Gemini.
Saturday, Moon conjunct Juno Rx in Scorpio, fueling intensity within a committed relation/partnership. There may be a domestic dispute or feelings of being controlled.

Just because we're willing to listen doesn't mean we're agreeing. It means we're tolerant. And who knows, we just might learn something.

💫 An Oasis of Temptation can be our worst illusion. Neptune stationing retrograde.
Tonight the Moon in Libra opposes Saturn and Neptune in Aries within an hour. The challenge here is, per Dane Rudhyar, "the conquest of illusion." Particularly with Neptune involved.
The goal is to stay in the 'Now' and not be distracted by some nostalgic mirage. Reconciling the polarity of these opposites requires dedicated focus on the current moment, eschewing the temptation of distraction.
Speaking of Neptune, it will be stationing retrograde in Aries this Friday, July 4th, and will re-enter Pisces on October 22. 2025 has been predicted to be a year of profound shifts encompassing new beginnings and endings on a generational level. More here.

💫Breakthroughs are always accompanied by a testing of the resolve.
Early morning Venus conjunct Uranus in Taurus on the anaretic degree ( 29° ) in the 10th. Potential doubts or a fear of failure over a concept could arise. Honoring our commitment and pushing through these doubts or fears through hard work can awaken us to a brand new perception, thus freeing us from over-expectations.
Midmorning the Scorpio Moon inconjunct Saturn & Neptune in Aries: The aforementioned adjustment in perspective also provides a deeper understanding through experience, particularly those of overcoming challenges.
This takes us to a new cultural level when interacting with others. We then begin to understand in a more holistic way, which leads to the attainment of wisdom.
Late morning the Scorpio Moon square Pluto Rx in Aquarius: After great advances comes a testing of resolve to see how committed we truly are. Here our deepest secrets are unearthed in the most intense and passionate manner.
Are we willing to pay homage to the fidelity of our dedication? Meaning are we inclined to embody the ideals of transpersonal authenticity?

💫Creative endeavors, even those of an imaginary sort, relieve tension.
Midmorning the Scorpio Moon trine the Cancer Sun, bringing the potentiality of intense emotion. With the Moon in it's Scorpion fall we can expect to feel everything to the nth degree. Sensitive Cancer may have a desire to retreat into their shell or sidestep issues to avoid the intensity. Alleviation can be achieved through imaginative creative endeavors.
Midafternoon the Moon conjunct Juno Rx in Scorpio, fueling intensity within a committed relation/partnership. There may be a domestic dispute or feelings of being controlled. If there's insecurity affecting self-worth, holding onto someone or something will only cause more resistance.
Letting go may feel scary, but will reveal a truth we need to learn. Don't fear loss. It may be for your own good.

💫 A morning confirmation cocktail with a healthy dose of self-satisfaction are warranted.
Early morning Venus in Gemini sextile Saturn in Aries followed late morning by a sextile to Neptune Rx in Aries is a wonderful cocktail of confirmation regarding the cumulation of efforts.
This is the reward of not giving up, of staying the course no matter what challenges we may meet. A healthy dose of self-satisfaction is warranted. We also have the ability to display our gifts and/or initiate a new project or transform old ones that we may have put to the side.
