Waning Crescent with the Moon Transiting Sagittarius

The waning crescent phase of the Moon is the end of a lunar cycle and is associated with release, completion, and endings. This is a good time to finish projects and to say goodbye to people or things that are no longer in alignment with our goals.

During this phase, we are introspective and focused on our inner emotional world. We are ready to let go of negative emotions and to release attachment to the past, making room for new beginnings with renewed self-awareness. We are reviewing, adjusting, and reevaluating our emotional needs and desires.

The angle between the Sun and the Moon in the natal chart provides insight into an individual’s balance of masculine and feminine energies and between his/her conscious and unconscious selves. The exact aspect of the waning crescent phase is 45 degrees, which is a semi-square. The energies of the Sun and Moon are moving closer, indicating that the native is moving forward and starting a new phase in life.

These individuals are in touch with natural rhythms and cycles such as moon phases and changing seasons. They are undergoing change and growth and are open to new experiences and perspectives. They easily embrace new ways of thinking and being. The approaching semi square also indicates a need to work hard to achieve integration between masculine and feminine energies and to balance the conscious and unconscious selves.

With the moon transiting Sagittarius, we are optimistic, open minded, and more inclined than usual to pursue new experiences. We are excited, curious, expansive, and free spirited. The transit also brings a heightened ability to express ourselves and to communicate thoughts and feelings. We are open and expressive with our emotions.
