Lunar Threads | Weaving Awareness of Moon Energies into Daily Life | The Waning Crescent

Moon Phases Series | Waning Crescent 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 waning crescent moon energies. Please, always, explore your own inner-standing in relation to this information and take inspired action from grounded sovereignty.

Waning Crescent | Rest + Renewal

Also called the Balsamic Moon

This is the deep rest phase—a time to surrender, go inward, and reconnect with your soul. Dreams may be vivid, your intuition strong. Let yourself be still. Regeneration is happening.

Waning Crescent Reflections

• “How can I surrender and prepare for what’s coming?”

• How can I rest and restore my energy?

• What have I outgrown?

• What messages are coming through in stillness?

Use this 3-card spread as a tool for guidance and further reflection

1. What is dissolving in my field?

2. How can I soften and let go?

3. What dream is forming in the void?

Amethyst 

can be a helpful crystal to connect with during the waning crescent moon phase. It enhances intuition and spiritual connection while assisting with surrender, deep rest, and listening to the wisdom of your higher-self.

Meditation

“The Rest of Renewal” | Rest-Surrender-Gestation

Lie down or recline, covering yourself with a light shawl or blanket. Visualize the moon as a cradle. Let yourself completely surrender. Ask for messages in your dreams or intuition. Trust that restoration is part of your power.

Whisper: “I rest. I surrender. I am restored.”
