Lunar Threads | Weaving Awareness of Moon Energies into Daily Life | The Last Quarter Phase

Moon Phases Series | Last Quarter Moon

—New | 1st Quarter | Full | Last Quarter—

Waxing Crescent | Waxing Gibbous | Waning Gibbous | Waning Crescent

Each moon phase holds a unique energetic frequency and spiritual purpose in the cycle of creation, release, and embodiment. You can learn the current moon phase with a simple web search or by using apps on your personal device. My favorite for Android is the Moon Phase Calendar.

If you're new to working with the moon energies I recommend you practice playing with the four main phases, New, 1st Quarter, Full, and Last Quarter, before including the intermediate phases of waning and waxing crescent and gibbous. You may want to explore with these four phases for a month, three months, or more - a good rule of thumb is to feel comfortable with them and understand them to the degree that you no longer need to reference this information to understand how to weave their energies into your daily life.

The following information will serve as a basic foundation for the Lunar Thread weaving of the last quarter moon energies. Please, always, explore your own inner-standing in relation to this information and take inspired action from grounded sovereignty.

Last Quarter Moon | Release + Realignment

This is the phase of letting go—clearing what no longer serves you, cutting energetic cords, and creating space for what's next. It’s also a time to re-evaluate and realign with your truth. Relax and take time for self-care if you're feeling depleted.

Last Quarter Reflections:

• “What am I ready to release with love?”

• What is no longer mine to carry?

• Where do I need to course-correct or reset?

Use this 4-card spread as a tool for guidance and further reflection

1. What is asking to be released now?

2. What lesson has it brought me?

3. What clarity am I gaining?

4. How can I realign with my truth?

Smoky Quartz 

can be a helpful crystal to connect with during the last quarter moon phase. It is grounding, detoxifying, and helps to let go of what no longer serves; especially limiting beliefs and emotional heaviness.

Meditation

“The Sacred Shedding” | Let go & Reset

Sit cross-legged with palms open. Visualize yourself placing any old thought, habit, or energy into your palms. Then, on the exhale, lift your hands and release it into the air, imagining the wind carrying it away. Breathe deeply into freedom.

Whisper: “I shed what is no longer mine to carry.”
