At 12:34 p.m., the Moon today enters its waning phasea special moment not only because of the way we see it in the sky, but also because of the astronomical context that surrounds it, which gives this moment in the September lunar calendar a special meaning.
This last quarter occurs a few days after the first lunar eclipse in September and places us in a period of transition between two major events: the recent lunar eclipse that took place the first week of September and the next solar eclipse on September 21, which will arrive just one day before the autumn equinox.
During this lunar phase, the Moon makes a 90º angle with the Sun from our perspective on Earth. It has already completed three quarters of its orbit, which is why it is also known as the “third quarter.” in the sky, we only see half illuminated of the visible face, but since it is waning, it is the opposite half to that of the crescent: in the northern hemisphere the left half is illuminated; in the south, the right.
This Moon today offers us a ideal time for reflectionthe closing of cycles and the preparation for the new, just as the Moon prepares to hide and be reborn. In this case, the current lunar cycle moves towards the solar eclipse and towards the symbolic balance of the equinox. Of return to the root.

It is time to honestly observe what ideas we have inherited, learned or assumed as our own: What beliefs are limiting me? What thoughts do I continue to feed that keep me from my freedom, my expression, and my emotional security?
This waning Moon invites us to stop looking for advice outside, to undo the old story, to stop oscillating between insecurity and self-demand. It is time to silence the mind to listen to the truth that springs from the body and soul. ask yourself with love: What ideas do I need to release? What new script do I want to write to feel safe, free and sustained from within?
