If you thought that these astro-energies have been pretty wild, then hold on tightly, as things aren’t looking to let up any time soon with the continuation of retrograde season and the height of eclipse season now upon us.
The good news is that now the moon is in its waning phase of the cycle. This means we can start slowing down, restoring our energy, going more with the flow. Whilst we are doing all that lower-key activity, it provides a good chance to reflect too, and we might be called to dive deep into our values and to identify what it is we really want and truly believe in.
When the moon is waning, it is generally not a good time to start new projects but to instead keep working away on the irons already in the fire. Finish working on the tasks you began with the new moon and take time to process everything that has been going on.
We should find it easier to identify what is truly important to us and to see how everything is connected and is part of the process of transformation. If you are feeling the heaviness of life right now, it’s a sign that you need to practice self-care more than ever.
Move you body, fill it with nourishing food, spend time outdoors in nature, focus on your spiritual practice and let the moon guide you. Pay attention to where things feel good in your body and when they seem off. And while we are still in Gemini season and with so much happening in the areas of learning and communication, be careful with what you are reading, absorbing, and learning and make sure that you are being critical about what is real and true and what’s not.
Waning Gibbous Moon in Capricorn
The week starts with the moon in Capricorn in the waning gibbous phase, which is a fitting sign for starting a new week. When we harness the steadfast and focused energy that Capricorn brings us we will have the energy to keep up the momentum of the past week. Look at your goals for the week and work towards them in a logical way. Be sure to also harness the more easeful waning moon energies. With all the Gemini Sun thinking energy that’s been happening, it could be helpful to practice being mindful by sitting in silence for 10 minutes and use all your senses to notice what is going on around you.
