First Quarter

Meet the challenge.

In the sky

Half of the Moon’s face is lit, and it rises around midday. The first quarter is traditionally a point of effort and decision, when early plans meet real conditions and need adjusting.

Bring it into your practice

This is a good time for strength and steadiness. Balances and standing poses ask you to stay with effort and adjust as you go.
