These days the Moon chases the Sun as it moves through our celestial vault, getting closer and closer to it. Start the day with less than 3% of your visible face illuminated and it ends up practically plunged into darkness. The stars are preparing to give us the last eclipse of the year, a partial solar eclipse, and anticipation is in the air.

The Moon today is in the final stretch of its waning phaseabout to enter the new Moon phase, which will arrive tomorrow. At that moment our satellite will have won the Race to the Sun from our perspectiveand, from there, it will begin to hide below the horizon line each night a little later after dark, leaving it behind. Little by little, as it grows again, it will recover its nocturnal habits.

Even if you don’t see it, you can try connect with the image of that waning Moon located today at the height of the constellation Leo. Its hidden side, the one that cannot be seen from Earth, is now almost completely illuminated. Our new Moon is just the other side of the coin.

If you have not done so already, start with your New Moon rituals or take the opportunity to practice a New Moon meditation that connects you with the special energy that is generated in this lunar phase.
