MOON PHASE SELF-CARE
-
This Weeks Moon phase: WANING MOON
The waning moon holds a special significance, symbolizing a period of introspection, release, and closure. As the moon decreases in visibility each night after the full moon, it's often seen as a time for letting go of the old, unnecessary, or negative aspects of one's life. This phase encourages individuals to reflect on what no longer serves them—be it habits, relationships, or past grievances—and to consciously release these burdens.
The waning moon is considered an ideal time for banishing spells, cleansing rituals, and setting intentions for what one wishes to diminish or end. It's a phase that invites inward focus, urging one to shed light on the shadows within, to heal, to forgive, and to prepare oneself for the new beginnings that the next lunar cycle will bring. Embracing the energy of the waning moon can lead to profound personal transformation, aligning one with the natural cycles of release and renewal.
