*all days and times are AEST
The festive season is now upon us, and with it this brings opportunities to socialise (if possible!) to have fun and to get creative and really see what has been one helluva year out in a positive way. Let’s look at how the Moon will influence our mood and emotions as we embark on this time so we can plan our self-care accordingly.
Waning Gibbous Moon in Virgo
On Monday the Waning Gibbous Moon will come out of its void-of-course to station in detailed and logical Virgo. It’s always good when the week begins with the Moon in Virgo, as it gives us a good opportunity to map out a schedule while focusing on the finer details. In this phase, energy levels will continue to decrease.
You might already be feeling exhausted after the recent eclipse which can be very draining on an energetic level. If this is the case, diffuse Basil to help overcome feelings of fatigue or apply the roller blend Paste Tense to your temples, neck and shoulders to ground your emotions.
Third Quarter Moon in Virgo
On Tuesday it will be the Third Quarter Moon in Virgo which marks the time when you should really slow down in order to further balance your energies. If you are finding things to be a bit challenging at this time, harness the problem-solving ability of the Virgo Moon. This is also a good time to focus on your health and any healing you need to do physically and mentally.
It’s great to de-clutter, organise and clean your home and work spaces with the Moon in Virgo which is a good thing to do before the New Moon next week and Summer Solstice before end of the month. If you are feeling more action focused, plan how you will clean up your lifestyle in order to heal any aspects of your life that are in need of attention. The other astro weather is favourable to helping our lunar inspired plans to come to fruition or move along nicely. Cleanse your physical space using the Purify or On-Guard essential oil blend.
Waning Crescent Moon in Libra
At 10:01am on Wednesday, the Waning Crescent Moon will move into diplomatic and harmony-loving Libra. A Libra Moon puts the spotlight on our relationships and how we communicate with our loved ones. Remember that as the Moon continues to wane, this is a time for rest and reflection. You might find yourself questioning your relationships or have some feelings bubble to the surface about imbalances in your communication with others (revisiting some of the Gemini Full Moon feelings from last week).
Don’t start any new projects, finalise any loose ends that might be requiring your focus and spend time in beautiful places to harness the Libra energies. If you can find some alone time to reflect and re-evaluate in a sacred space you have created then this will be helpful, at this time. The oil blend Peace or the single oil Hinoki can help support harmonious vibes.
Waning Crescent Moon in Scorpio
On Friday afternoon, the Waning Crescent Moon will move into deep and intuitive Scorpio. Use this time to really look at what has been coming up for you in this lunation. Reflect on whether any old patterns or attachments to people have come up that you need to release so that you can move forward and set fresh intentions on the upcoming New Moon.
Get out your journal and use it to jot down your feelings and do some shadow work if it feels right. Really tap into your intuition to understand your emotions. It’s also good to work with oracle and tarot cards if you are into those or simply apply a drop of Frankincense to your third eye, hold a black obsidian or smoky quartz crystal in your hand ad ten drop into a meditation. Stay grounded and stable using the essential oil blend Anchor.
Dark Moon
Sunday marks the Dark Moon, a time that calls for stillness and quiet. On your Self-Care Sunday journal, meditate, and practice mindfulness. Restore your nervous system in whatever way helps you most as you prepare mentally ad emotionally for the New Moon and the new lunar cycle. Use the Balance blend to feel really grounded and supported.
