Moon Phase · Day 22–23

Last Quarter

Release · forgiveness · clearing

Half lit again, the other half this time. A turning point for clearing out, forgiving and breaking habits that no longer serve.

In the sky

The Moon is three-quarters of the way around its orbit and half-lit on the left side (Northern Hemisphere). It rises around midnight and is seen in the morning sky.

The energy of this phase

A phase of letting go and making space. It mirrors the First Quarter: a crisis of consciousness rather than of action. What do you no longer need to carry into the next cycle?

Working with it

  • Declutter one physical space.
  • Forgive one thing, including in yourself.
  • Break or pause one habit for the rest of the cycle.
