Leslie Benson – The May 26th Last Quarter Moon is a subtle call to inspiration and higher consciousness as an intense lunation cycle of May draws to its conclusion. This final lunar phase is the time when the brilliant light of the Moon is three quarters of the way in its journey of ultimately fading back into darkness.
We symbolically see this as a time of letting go, surrendering and exhale. We find the Moon at 5º in watery nebulous Pisces making a square aspect to the Sun in quick-minded Gemini, AND, interestingly, completing a T-square with the asteroid Ceres in the expansive fires of Sagittarius. This paints a picture of dynamic tension that’s asking us to focus on what really nourishes us mentally, emotionally, and spiritually, and to let go of the things we reach for out of habit or addiction that don’t truly feed us.
