Working with the waning moon


The waning moon is the lunar phase during which the illuminated portion of the moon visible from Earth gradually decreases in size as it transitions from the Full Moon to the New Moon. This shift occurs as the moon continues its orbit around the Earth, with the sunlight gradually diminishing its illumination.


The waning moon is characterized by a decreasing crescent shape that grows thinner and less bright each night until it eventually becomes the New Moon, when it is not visible at all.


Spiritually, the waning moon is often associated with release, letting go, and introspection. It symbolizes the closing of a cycle, much like the autumn season, and is considered a time for shedding what no longer serves us and making space for new beginnings. Many spiritual practices involve rituals, meditation, or journaling during this phase to release negative energy, break unhealthy habits, and clear the mind. It's a favorable time for self-reflection, forgiveness, and decluttering one's life, both physically and emotionally. The waning moon encourages a sense of surrender and allows individuals to harness its energy to release old patterns and make room for personal growth and transformation.


Tips for Waning Moon Rituals


  1. Release and Let Go: During the waning moon, perform a release ritual to let go of what no longer serves you. Write down any negative thoughts, habits, or situations you wish to release on a piece of paper. Then, safely burn or bury the paper as a symbolic act of release.

  2. Decluttering: Use the waning moon's energy to declutter your physical space. Tidy up your home, organize your workspace, and donate items you no longer need. This physical decluttering can also help clear mental clutter.

  3. Forgiveness Meditation: Meditate on forgiveness, both forgiving others and forgiving yourself. Let go of grudges and resentments, allowing space for healing and new opportunities.

  4. Energy Healing: Explore energy healing practices such as reiki, acupuncture, or chakra balancing during the waning moon to help release blocked or stagnant energy.
