Working with the Last Quarter Moon in Aquarius 9th May 2026 23.10 BST

The Last Quarter Moon is the time for decrease. Look at the assessments you made at the Full Moon and see what you can reduce at this time. 

Here are a few examples of the sorts of questions to ask yourself to identify where you can do this.

• Did you identify anything in your plans or that needed to end or isn’t working and needs to be changed?

• Are there things you can change about yourself that are holding you back? 

• Do you need to move away from any people or situations that are causing you problems or holding you back?

• Are there any negative traits associated with the Astrological Sign ruling this phase that you or others around you are manifesting that are causing problems you need to deal with?

Aquarius is the 11th sign of the Zodiac and is the sign of progress, invention, technology, clarity and pragmatism  -  I KNOW  -  using analysis, seeing connections and the bigger picture.

The symbol for Aquarius is a man pouring water from a bowl. This shows emotion (Water) being removed from the bowl to make space for clarity of thought (Air) 

When the Last phase is in Aquarius, put your focus on seeing clearly anything that does not serve you or obstructs your progress to your goals.What can you “pour out of your bowl” to make space for clarity ready for the next New Moon’s planning?

Here are some Aquarian negative traits. Are there any that you need to block, remove or set boundaries against?

• Being uncompromising or stubborn

• Not communicating reasons and priorities clearly

• Seeming aloof and uncaring

• Needing mental stimulation constantly, or they get bored easily

• Being disruptive for the sake of it

• Being nosy or gossipy

• Dislike constraints

The card that signifies Aquarius is The Star, the cards of hopes and dreams.

This card echoes the Aquarius symbol, though in this card it is a woman pouring water from 2 pots - 1 onto the earth and 1 onto the water. In addition to the symbolism of Aquarius, this card talks about harnessing your emotions and accepting them (pouring water into water) and understanding your emotional motivations and triggers so that you control them rather than them controlling you (water onto earth).
