Tonight's Moon: Last Quarter
Let go — release old habits and make room for the new.
Illumination: ~50%
About the Last Quarter
The Last Quarter Moon is half-illuminated on the left side (Northern Hemisphere), the mirror image of the First Quarter. It rises around midnight and is best seen in the early morning sky. This is sometimes called the 'Third Quarter Moon.'
Where the First Quarter challenged you to commit, the Last Quarter challenges you to release. This is the 'crisis of consciousness' — a time to evaluate what worked, forgive what did not, and consciously let go of patterns, relationships, or projects that have run their course. Clearing physical and emotional clutter now creates space for the next cycle's intentions.
