August 30 – September 5
This week kicks off with the Third Quarter Moon phase in the sign of chatty Gemini. It is at this phase of the lunar cycle that I feel a noticeable shift in my energy levels (to that of realllllly going slow!) and it’s also here that frustrations and un-easy feelings can arise.
This week it is a particularly tricky lunar transit, because the spotlight tends to be put onto out limiting beliefs and negative patterns- which can make this a great time to release and let go. Usually, a Gemini Moon would be the time for us to want to socialise, but weight just not be feeling that usual tendency, being called to reflect and go inwards instead.
If you are feeling this, it could be because we have 6 major planets all in retrograde at the moment- the cosmos is really wanting us to takes some time to re-evaluate our lives, fine-tune our habits and focus on letting go of what we need to have a positive mindset.
We are also now fully into Virgo Season, an earth sign that is perfect for cleaning, organising, de-cluttering and focusing on healthy habits and committing to your overall well-being.
This week, you should be focusing on reflecting, restoring and preparing for the New Moon. The Virgo New Moon will be on the 7th September, and brings it a fresh new start and the chance to set or revisit your intentions and goals. How great it is that we have this opportunity every month!
I will be running a New Moon circle on Sunday night so that we can set powerful New Moon intentions together. If you would like to be part of it, come join us in the Moon Membership and also get access to the PDF playbook which includes deeper astro info about the New Moon, journaling prompts, rituals, recipes and self-care practices.
Now, let’s get started with this week’s report!
Lunar Energy and Mood Report for the Week Commencing August 30, 2021
The Moon continues in the waning phase all of this week, starting off on Monday with the Third Quarter Moon and then moving into the Waning Crescent and then closing out the week in its Dark Moon phase prior to the New Moon next Monday.
Keywords for this week include rest, restore, reflect, and release. Focus on your physical self-care, nourishing your nervous system and to rest as much as necessary to nurture your mind and body.
You may want to reflect and release any negative energy, patterns or thoughts as well as tie-up any loose ends that you still have so that you can move into the next lunar cycle with a confident and positive mindset.
Moon Phase Energy
The week kicks off with the Third Quarter Moon, a sometimes challenging phase that can have us feeling reduced energy levels which calls for having clear boundaries in place around your time. Analyse what is going well and release the thoughts, energies and patterns that aren’t serving you anymore.
What to do for the Third Quarter phase
Get organised and re-focus on the things that are important to complete ad tie up lose ends
Get plenty of rest- go to bed early and take an afternoon nap if you feel called
Analyse what’s going well and release/let go of what’s no longer serving
Third Quarter Theme:
Release
Affirmation:
I let go of negative energy and habits and surrender my intentions to the universe
Reflection questions:
What have a learned this lunar cycle? How can I use what I have leaned in moving towards my vision? What habits can I work on improving in the next lunar cycle?
From Tuesday to Friday, the Moon will be in its Waning Crescent phase. This is when you will likely notice a shift in your energy levels as they continue to recede and you could even feel quite drained. This is perfectly ok, and honour this by being gentle with yourself. Gift yourself whatever you need- whether that’s a little nap or time to yourself- make whatever your body is craving a priority. This time is all about resting, restoring and preparing for the fresh start that’s on its way.
What to do for the Waning Crescent phase
Finalise all projects and don’t start in anything new
Focus on nourishing self-care practices that help you to rest and relax
Spend some time alone with your journal to reflect on the ups and downs of the past lunar cycle
Feel all your feelings freely and be gentle with yourself, practicing self-compassion
Waning Crescent Theme:
Initiate
Affirmation:
I feel into my intentions with strength and confidence
Reflection questions:
What loose ends can I finalise to prepare for the next lunar cycle? What can I do to raise my overall energy and focus? How can I clear any negative energies and bring a positive outlook to the next lunar cycle?
Over the weekend, it will be a Dark Moon, which is when the Moon is not visible in the sky. This timing of the weekend is perfect for going inwards and to rest, have some quiet time and to rest and reflect as you fully prepare for the forthcoming New Moon.
What to do for the Dark Moon phase
Spend some time in the peace and quiet of nature on your own
Rest!
Reflect on the past lunar cycle, celebrate your wins, acknowledge any lessons learned, and release what you want to let go of to make space for the new
Anoint your third eye with Frankincense and do a meditation
Moon Sign Moods
Monday August 30th to Wednesday September 1st
The Waning Moon is in the sign of sociable Gemini. When the Moon is in Gemini we can feel the need to get together with friends and find our thirst for knowledge can pique. There can also be the tendency to feel quite scattered and stuck in our heads. It’s an easy time for communication of all kinds.
Lunar Self-Care for Gemini
Open-up a course you have been studying and get learning or research something new
Get together with like-minded friends for some witty banter and maybe even a gossip
Write a blog post, do a podcast interview or do editing
Do things that are fun, playful and evoke feelings of positivity
Journaling question:
How can I stop over-thinking and trust my intuition more?
Essential oil:
Lavender: this is the oil of communication and calm which can support verbal expression and help to calm a scattered mind. It can encourage emotional honesty and open communication. Inhale, diffuse or apply over the throat, temples and back of the neck.
Void Moon Wednesday September 1st: 6:48am to 3:25pm (AEST)
Do menial tasks, focus on nourishing self-care and avoid making big decisions
Wednesday September 1st to Friday September 3rd
The Waning Crescent Moon will be in emotional Cancer. With the Moon in this water sign, and also the Moon’s home sign, we can feel more sensitive than usual. We might also feel more nostalgic and it’s the time when our mothering instincts kick in- to mother not only others but also ourselves. You might feel more inclined to spend time in the comfort of your home with your loved ones.
Lunar Self-Care for Cancer
Enjoy physical self-care and have a goddess bath
Prepare some comfort food to share with your loved ones
Communicate your feelings as a way to release any sensitive emotions
Spend time near water or the ocean an cry it all out
Journaling question:
How can I nourish and nurture myself more?
Essential oil:
Chamomile: this oil can help to relieve stress and calm any big emotions and soothe the mind when you are feeling overly sensitive. Diffuse, inhale or apply to wrists and back of neck.
Void Moon on Friday September 3rd from 3:37pm to 1:58am (Saturday 4th) (AEST)
Do menial tasks, focus on nourishing self-care and avoid making big decisions
Saturday September 4 to Monday September 6th
The Waning Crescent Moon will be in outgoing Leo. The mood will lighten up quite a bit, with the Leo Moon encouraging our self-expression, playfulness and creativity. You may feel inclined to go out and have some fun, to dance or be inspired to do something creative.
Lunar Self Care for Leo
Dance in your living room to your favourite upbeat tunes
Make art or do a creative project of some kind (we are ALL creative in some way!)
Engage in some heart-led conversations with loved one
Wear clothes that make you feel good and which are true to your own style so you can boldly step out with confidence
Journaling question:
How can I harness my self-expression and creativity more every day?
Essential oil:
Cheer: this blend is like liquid sunshine and evokes the Leo vibes of fun and playfulness. Diffuse or roll across your heart centre.
