Harmonizing to the Waning Moon

As we progress towards our next New Moon, (which will be in the sign of Aquarius) the part of the lunar cycle we are in now is known as the ‘waning’ of the moon, where she catches less and less light in the sky, so appears to be getting smaller.

Energetically, this signifies a more restful phase, more meditative, more introspective and a good time to relax and slow down. 

“Time is an illusion.” – Einstein

Maybe so. But it doesn’t always feel that way.

One of the most common barriers to self-care, a spiritual, or wellness practice is simply the time for it. Here’s the thing, you’ve got to learn to create time for yourself. I’m not always good at it. but I’m getting better.  How about you?

To help me work with the energy of this phase I like using more calming, grounding essential oils such as lavender, chamomile and rose in my oil diffuser. Lavender and chamomile are beautiful for bringing some calming energy as we recalibrate during this part of the cycle. We also have two planets in retrograde at the moment – both Venus ( until 29th Jan) and Mercury (until 4th Feb) so the opportunity to reassess and revisit certain life areas can feel potent now. Any oils that are deep and holding like rose can be comforting. If you feel like you need clarity, more refreshing citrus oils could also work well.

If crystals are your thing, for this lunar phase I like Black Tourmaline and Garnet for grounding and recharging, Rose Quartz for strengthening self love and compassion and Sodalite for calming a busy mind. However, I normally just work with the ones I feel attracted to on the day. If you have a crystal collection, use your intuition and see which ones you are drawn to over the next week!

Blessed Be my Darklings!
