It’s been two long days since we left the October full Moon behind and we are now advancing through the third quarter of the lunar cycle, heading towards the waning quarter. The Moon has been seen today in the morning, before dawnin the same sky in which Venus and Jupiter can be seen at this time.

Its illumination was still 93-94%, but by the time the Moon is visible again at night it will be less than 90% illuminated.

Little by little the Moon he reveals his hump to uslike last week when it grew on the way to the full Moon, only now it does so on the other side, waning and advancing towards the next new Moon.

At night it will no longer be accompanied by Venus or Jupiter, but rather by Saturn, which little by little is allowing us to enjoy its rings more. You will see the Moon leaving Aries to enter Taurus and Saturn below the upper end of Pisces.

The energy relaxes and contracts. Do you want to accompany her?
