The Last Quarter Moon arrives as a whisper between worlds — a soft exhale before the darkness of the new cycle. It’s the moon of release, the sacred pause where we gather what we’ve learned and lay to rest what no longer belongs. Under this waning light, reflection becomes ritual. The questions we avoid rise like tidewater: What am I holding onto out of habit? What has served its purpose and can now dissolve?
This phase carries the quiet wisdom of endings. It reminds us that closure is not loss but transformation — the compost of our growth. Burn what’s heavy, both literally and symbolically. Write down the names of old fears or patterns, then release them to flame, to water, or to the wind. Cleanse your altar, your home, and your spirit. The Last Quarter Moon teaches that rest is revolutionary, and surrender is the most elegant form of power.
