Embrace the Fade: The Last Quarter Moon's Power of Release
As the vibrant energy of the Full Moon begins to soften, we transition into the introspective phase of the Last Quarter Moon. Appearing as a half-lit disc in the sky (the opposite of the First Quarter), this phase marks days 23 to 29.5 of the lunar cycle. The moon’s light is waning, diminishing as it heads towards the darkness of the New Moon. This natural fading mirrors an invitation for us: it’s time to turn inward, reflect, release, and reset.
The Last Quarter Moon is fundamentally about adjustment and letting go. Think of it as nature’s prompt to tidy up – not just our physical spaces, but our mental, emotional, and spiritual ones too.

Aligning Your Wellness with the Last Quarter Moon Phase
Each phase of the Moonlit Pathway blends lunar energy with holistic wellness. During the New Moon, your focus gently turns inward.
Nutrition for Release
Support your body’s natural clearing processes by focusing on light, easily digestible meals. Prioritize detoxifying foods and cleansing herbs and spices. Boost your fibre intake with whole grains, legumes, nuts, and seeds to aid digestion and elimination while keeping your energy steady. Stay well-hydrated with plenty of water, and enjoy herbal teas to gently support the body’s natural cleansing and renewal at this reflective phase of the lunar cycle.
Movement with Intention: Taper, Recover, Release
As lunar energy wanes, adjust your physical activity and lighten the load by shifting from peak intensity to light-to-moderate exercise – if you lift weights, consider tapering by reducing the weight or reps. This phase is great for steady cardio like brisk walking, swimming, jogging, or dancing, all of which support detoxification with gentle stretching or slow-flow yoga to helps release tension, improve circulation, and soothe the nervous system. Focus on presence over performance.
Prioritise Restorative Self-Care
Enjoy rituals that support cleansing and renewal such as a detoxifying bath or shower, connect with the healing element of water by standing in a river, dipping into the sea, or simply visualizing a cleansing waterfall flowing over you. Treat yourself to a massage or practice self-massage to ease tight muscles and improve circulation, especially if your body has been working hard during the Full Moon. Support detoxification by allowing your body to sweat -through movement or, if available, time in a sauna.
Creative Flow: Winding Down
If you started creative projects earlier in the cycle, now is a good time to bring them to a temporary pause or completion point. Reflect on your progress and celebrate what you’ve accomplished.
Release & Reset for Spiritual Wellness
This is a powerful time for energy healing helping to clear blockages and restore balance on every level. Declutter your environment, smudge or diffuse essential oils, and visualize what you’re letting go of waning with the Moon. Even small acts – like tidying a drawer – can bring powerful clarity and lightness. Everything in life holds an energetic charge – this is a good time to reflect on key relationships: do they nourish or drain you? The Last Quarter Moon is the perfect time to clear space, both physically and energetically.
Love like the Moon intended, all the way through the darkness.
