Week of May 16, 2025 | Last Quarter Moon in Aquarius: Onward and Upward!

The last quarter moon this month lands in Aquarius on Tuesday, May 20 — and it’s serving up a clear cosmic message: “The tired party is over. It’s time to move on.”

After an intense Scorpio Full Moon and some heavy emotional weather, the energy this week offers clarity, closure, and an invitation to consciously clear what’s no longer aligned — especially in the area of life Aquarius oversees in your chart.

Let’s break it down…

What Does the Last Quarter Moon in Aquarius Mean?

This is the final moon phase of the lunar cycle, and it’s all about review, reflection, and release. But this isn’t vague or fluffy “letting go.” This is practical, powerful work — the kind that sets you up for aligned growth.

The last quarter moon this month connects back to the New Moon in Aquarius on February 20, 2023, and the Full Moon in Aquarius on August 19, 2024. Look back to those dates to reflect on:

  • What goals or intentions were planted?

  • What came to light during the Full Moon?

  • What needs to be harvested, cleared, or closed out now?

Major Planetary Energies at Play This Week

While the moon moves into its last quarter phase, the sky is humming with energy:

  • Mercury square Mars (May 17): Heated conversations or self-focused action may arise. Be mindful about how (and why) you speak up.

  • Sun sextile Saturn (May 20): A beautiful opportunity to step down from responsibilities that no longer serve you. Release with wisdom.

  • Sun sextile Neptune in Aries (May 22): This marks a first-in-our-lifetimes moment — the beginning of a powerful cycle blending personal accountability with higher spiritual vision.

We also welcome the start of Gemini season, encouraging lightness, conversation, and a social shift into summer.
