The Last Quarter Moon is half lit. The part that still receives sunlight gradually decreases, that is, "dwindling". Just like the Moon, you must use your last energies to complete whatever you accomplished at the Full Moon.

The lunar cycle is ending, i.e. it's a transition phase. Therefore, you must dive inside and analyze what you went through, transforming learning into experience.

This moon phase invites you to grow internally and somehow become a better person. It's a period of introspection, where you have more discernment to understand what you need to absorb and what you should put aside.

We must always be responsible for our actions and achievements, after all, we reap what we sow. Adjust what you need, change what you think should change and get ready for the new cycle that is coming. For this, you can't leave loose ends - solve all the outstanding issues you can.

The Last Quarter Moon Inspires: internal growth, transition, resolution of pending issues, completion of goals, adjustments and changes.
Keywords: responsibility, realignment, integration, realization, discernment, conclusion.
Angle between the Sun and the Moon: from 270 to 315 degrees
Phase: Active

The Last Quarter Moon - The Seventh Lunar Phase

At this stage, it's almost time to turn the key. The lunar cycle is ending and brings with it a greater need for completion. Don't let unresolved issues get in the way of this transitional moment.

It's a good time to let go of everything that is in excess or that we no longer need. It's a favorable phase to cut addictions, start diets or to free yourself from the past, whatever it may be.

Anything that gets in the way of your precise harmony must be discarded, only then will you be able to make the most of your achievements and experiences.

Just don't discard all the results of the cycle, in fact they must be analyzed and consolidated, so that they can serve as a basis for the future. It's a time for reflection: decide what to do with what you've achieved so far and make the necessary adjustments to move forward.

Remember that it is a phase of finalization and transition, but also of reorientation! If something isn't fitting well, question it. Your head must be open to transformations and new ideas. Changing old concepts and ways of acting is never a reason to be ashamed, on the contrary, it is a sign of maturity.

It is also a favorable phase to complete projects and objectives, where you will have more insights and creativity to create solutions to outstanding issues or correct failures. As your consciousness is more active, your powers of concentration will also be sharper. Therefore, take the opportunity to organize your life or to start studies, research or personal projects such as food reeducation. If you want to change a habit, this is a good time. It's important to push any and all negative thoughts out of your mind during this phase to attract more chances of achieving your goals
