Embracing Change: The Last Quarter Moon in Aquarius
Hello, beautiful Moon lovers!
Today, we find ourselves at the Last Quarter Moon. This time in the lunar month sits half way between the vibrant Full Moon and the introspective New Moon … and it’s bursting with potential for reflection and rejuvenation.
What Does the Last Quarter Moon Mean?
Iconic astrologer Dane Rudhyar saw the Last Quarter Moon as a crucial moment for introspection and transformation. It’s a time when the Moon’s light really begins to wane, encouraging us to look back over what we’ve achieved and what we’re ready to let go of. It’s about closing old chapters to make room for new adventures.
The Last Quarter Moon heralds the final “quarter” of the Moon cycle as we move towards the New Moon, and takes in the Dark Moon phase which is so powerful.
Aquarius’s Cool Breeze
With the Last Quarter Moon in the forward-thinking sign of Aquarius, make today about embracing the new and unconventional. Aquarius is the zodiac’s visionary, always ready to try out novel ideas and bring people together for a cause.
The Last Quarter Moon in Aquarius takes place when the Sun is in Taurus and the Moon is in Aquarius. It knows that living lightly is a good thing but still, the ties, they bind.
What Really Matters?
Being more grounded and working out what really matters to you is also the answer to your question now. Once you are clear about your priorities, be they personal or professional, you can start to allot time, energy and focus to it. If you want to create something solid, it takes a mix of good ideas and practical work. But the most important thing when you draw this card is have you worked out what’s really important to you and are you living your life in accordance with that? If not, the card is a nudge to make changes, so you can get what you want.
Manifesting mix: Here we have one energy which is modern and cool and another which is rustic and real. And never the twain shall meet? Aquarius cools, Taurus lazes.
Manifesting mindset: Once you know your priorities, it becomes possible for you to work out where to out your attention in terms of your life and your manifesting. (From my Moonology Manifestation oracle cards)
During this Moon phase, think about these questions:
- What traditions am I holding onto that don’t really serve me anymore?
- How can I bring fresh ideas into my life?
- What can I do to feel more connected with the community around me?
Tips for Making the Most of This Phase
This is a fantastic time to align yourself with Aquarian energy. Here are a few ways to do that:
- Join In: Dive into community projects or connect with friends to brainstorm ways to make a positive impact.
- Reflect: Take a moment to think about how you can be more ‘you’ in your everyday life.
- Clear Out: Release old habits, tidy up your spaces, and clear your mind to make way for new possibilities.
A Soothing Sanskrit Chant to Saturn
Since Saturn rules Aquarius, linking a Saturn-related practice to this phase can enhance your experience. Try chanting this simple but profound Sanskrit mantra:
“OM NAMO BHAGAVATE KURMA DEVAYA NAMAHA”
This chant calls on Saturn, the planet that blesses us with strength, discipline, and stability—perfect that’s for grounding ourselves.
Welcoming Beginnings
As we use this time to reflect and reset, remember that every lunar phase brings its own energy to our journey. The Last Quarter Moon in Aquarius is a wonderful chance to shed what’s not working and embrace new ways of being.
Let this phase remind you that it’s okay to change and grow, even when it means stepping into the unknown. Keep your eyes on the stars, stay connected with your community, and let the lunar magic guide you to your next big adventure.
