We are officially in the Last Quarter phase of the lunar cycle- the Waning Crescent. It means that this week, we are winding down towards the end of this cycle to begin a new one on April 27. This phase of the moon is not a time to initiate anything big, but rather, to reflect on everything we’ve experienced over the last 3 weeks and take notes on what worked and what needs to change.

The wisdom of this phase of the moon helps us plant seeds for the upcoming lunar cycle an beyond. However, given our disconnect from the natural and cosmic rhythms, we don’t often use this self-reflective time of the lunar cycle to receive its guiding wisdom. While as individuals, we can make effort, it’s also the systems and structures of our societies that make it challenging for us to stay connected in these ways.

Today’s Waning Crescent is in Aquarius all day. It conjoins Uranus and sextiles Saturn later on in the evening (Eastern Time). Today’s energies are a reminder that you can do difficult things by thinking outside the box. Sometimes the most radically different decision could be the most liberating and best option. Practice detachment from your emotions today, while observing and honoring them. See what comes up.
