The Last Quarter Moon in Libra Sacred Surrender The Grace of Letting Go
JANUARY 10, 2026
Moon Phase: Last Quarter Moon (aka Third Quarter) in Libra at 18°14’ | Element: Air | Archetype: The Peacemaker | Focus: Forgiveness, Reflection, Sacred Rebalancing
Embracing the Last Quarter Moon
The Last Quarter Moon, also called the Third Quarter Moon, rises like a half-lit mirror in the sky… illuminated only on the left side here in the Northern Hemisphere. It is the final cardinal turning point of the lunar cycle, and while it may appear visually quiet compared to the brilliance of the Full Moon, its spiritual potency is profound. This phase acts as a sacred exhale after the energetic crescendo of the Full Moon. It brings us back to our center and invites a clearing of what we've discovered in the light.
In this phase, we are both witness and weaver… called to reflect on what bloomed during the Full Moon and decide what will not cross the threshold into the next cycle. The sky no longer demands action or initiation; instead, it hums a quieter song, one of release, refinement, and integration. The moon reminds us that progress is not always linear, and that wisdom is often born from what we’re willing to let go of.
Letting go does not mean failure… it means maturity. This is not the pruning of dreams, but the composting of outworn strategies and unmet expectations. Just as trees release their leaves in autumn to conserve energy for the new growth of spring, we too are asked to honor what has lived its purpose. What if release wasn’t loss, but liberation?
This is the sacred hush before the rebirth. It is the moon's way of teaching us how to be both strong and soft, to discern with compassion, and to forgive… ourselves, others, and the stories we’ve held too tightly. The Last Quarter Moon in Libra, the sign of beauty, balance, and divine justice, reminds us that peace comes not from perfection, but from loving honesty.
The Moon in Libra: Restoring Inner Equilibrium
With the Last Quarter Moon falling in the sign of Libra, the focus turns inward toward relational harmony… within ourselves and with others. Libra, ruled by Venus, governs love, justice, reciprocity, and beauty. But this isn’t surface-level prettiness. This is the beauty of a soul realigning itself after rupture… the beauty of truth spoken gently, the kind of balance that comes from truth.
As the moon wanes in this air sign, we are offered a moment to restore equilibrium. Where have you been over giving to keep the peace? Where have you betrayed your needs to preserve appearances? Libra’s deeper teaching is that harmony built on suppression is not harmony at all. It invites us to see where false peace has created inner war.
You may feel pulled to revisit conversations that never got closure, to restore a boundary you quietly dropped, or to forgive yourself for staying too long in places that drained you. Forgiveness and clarity are not opposites, they are partners. This moon helps us see clearly what we must now release with grace, and what can be rebalanced with mutual care.
Let your life speak. Let your nervous system be the compass. If your body tightens around someone or something, it is speaking truth. If your breath returns when you walk away, it is guiding you home. The Libra moon doesn’t ask you to be cold, it asks you to be clear. To choose peace that includes you.
The Sacred Art of Releasing
Releasing is a holy act. It’s not about purging aggressively or “fixing” yourself. It’s about holding yourself through the unraveling. During this moon, we shift from reaction to reflection. We become the sacred witness of our own journey, honoring all that has led us here, even as we gently unhook from what no longer aligns.
To release with reverence, start by acknowledging what this lunar cycle has taught you. What became undeniably clear during the Full Moon? What patterns, fears, or distractions surfaced again? Not to shame, but to clarify. The sacred act of naming truth… out loud or in writing, is the first layer of liberation.
Then comes forgiveness. This isn't a command to "let it go" before you're ready, but an invitation to loosen your grip. To allow breath, grace, and Spirit to touch the places that hurt. The Last Quarter Moon is a potent time for ceremonial release… whether that’s burning a letter, cutting a cord, or simply crying it out into the earth. What matters is the intention: I honor this… and I release it.
There is power in emptiness. There is healing in the spaces we no longer fill with shoulds and guilt. Allow yourself to rest in that space. Trust that what leaves is not lost… it is returned to the Mystery, recycled, reimagined, and eventually reborn in higher form.
Angelic Integration: The Moon and the Messenger
This phase also carries the energy of angelic presence. In the quiet after culmination, we are more attuned to subtle frequencies… the inner voice, the whisper of intuition, the gentle nudges from the angelic realms. The Angel and the Moon walk together now, helping us transmute what no longer serves into light.
Ask for support. The Archangels of release; Zadkiel (forgiveness and transmutation), Uriel (illumination and clarity), and Raphael (healing and restoration), they are especially near during this time. Speak to them. Journal with them. Place a crystal on your altar (amethyst, selenite, or rose quartz) and call in their presence as you reflect or release.
Angelic presence during this moon reminds us that even our shedding is sacred. We are not alone in our undoing. We are accompanied by luminous beings who help us carry what’s heavy and return us to our soul’s truth. They help us move through grief and into grace, not bypassing, but through transforming.
Let this moon be a portal. Let it be an altar to your becoming. And know that you are held, even in the moments when all you can do is breathe and be. That too is enough.
Since the Full Moon in Cancer on January 4th, we’ve walked through an intimate, emotional terrain. Each day has been a sacred unraveling, a gentle initiation, and a call to deeper self-trust.
And now, we begin the deeper descent...
The next seven days will carry us through the Waning Crescent… a phase of surrender, spiritual refinement, and holy stillness. This is the moon of the mystic… the womb… the sacred dark.
The part of the journey where we untangle what’s left, forgive what still stings, release what’s outdated, and restore our energy in quiet, reverent ways.
We’ll move through cord cutting, forgiveness rituals, cosmic memory activation, soul inventory, and the tender remembering of who we’re becoming.
The New Moon in Capricorn awaits on January 18th, anchoring a powerful reset for your path forward. Until then, we’re still in the process… still unraveling… still listening.
Keep coming back each day. There’s more to receive, more to feel, more to remember… And this is only the beginning.

Cord Release & Energetic Liberation with Archangel Michael
Waning Crescent in Scorpio
Waning Crescent in Scorpio
Today begins the descent into the dark soil of the soul. With the Moon in her waning crescent phase and Scorpio’s emotional underworld stirring, you may feel tender, tired, or reflective. This is not a day to fix, push, or accomplish. Instead, allow yourself to feel beneath what has been rising. The Scorpio Moon asks you to honor what’s dying, what is asking to be released, and what soul truth is ready to be unearthed. The spiritual depth of this day lies in surrendering to the process, not controlling the outcome.
This is a beautiful time to journal the emotions that have no name, to cry without explanation, to exhale the stories you’ve outgrown. There is healing here in the honesty of your own inner cave. Scorpio holds the key to emotional alchemy… trust that what feels murky is where light is being reborn.
Cord Release & Energetic Liberation with Archangel Michael
There is a moment on the path of healing where you realize: the energy of someone, something, or some former version of you… is still attached to your field. Still tugging. Still feeding. Still occupying space. On this Waning Crescent day, beneath the magnetic waters of Scorpio, the Angel of Divine Protection, Archangel Michael, invites you to cut the energetic cords that keep you tethered to old dynamics. You are not leaving people behind, you are leaving behind the emotional entanglements that confuse your clarity, leak your power, or distort your purpose.
Cord-cutting is not about hate. It is about healing. It is about reclaiming the parts of yourself still stuck in stories that are no longer true. Michael enters this space with his sword of sapphire flame, this action does not sever divine love, but liberates it’s human conditioning from co-dependence, fear, shame, guilt, or grasping.
He stands beside you today, hand on your shoulder, whispering, “You are safe to be whole again. You are safe to no longer carry what was never yours.”
On this day, allow yourself to name what you are ready to release. Energetic ties can form not just with people, but with roles, past identities, ancestral wounds, karmic contracts, expired dreams, or limiting beliefs. You are allowed to say, “This part of me is complete. I release it in gratitude. I call all my power home.” Let this be a sacred rite. Burn old letters, cleanse with salt, move your body with the intention to clear. Visualize threads dissolving into light. Use prayer, invocation, conscious breath… or any ritual that honors your intuitive knowing.
And if you need help, call on the great protector of thresholds. Archangel Michael walks with warriors of truth. He does not abandon the tender-hearted. He does not ask you to be strong in ways that deny your softness. He simply helps you see what is ready to be unhooked, and what has been waiting, lifetimes even, to be freed. In the clearing, you will feel it: space, sovereignty, sacred stillness. You are no longer enmeshed. You are radiant in your own light.
Cord Release & Energetic Liberation Ritual with Archangel Michael
Below is a guided exercise you can follow as-is or adapt with your own intuitive additions. Trust what arises. Your body, your breath, and your soul will know what to do.
1. Begin by finding a quiet and comfortable space. Let your body settle into stillness. Close your eyes and deepen your breath… slowly, gently, allowing each inhale to fill you with presence and each exhale to soften your grip on anything ready to leave.
Let your breath be the doorway into your spirit.
2. Call in your Spirit Team, Angels, and Guides. Invite your Higher Self to fully anchor into your body. And when you’re ready.
3. Call in Archangel Michael. Ask him to step forward with love and purpose, holding his radiant sword of divine truth and liberation. Feel his presence arrive… strong, clear, protective, and unwavering.
4. Now, either silently or aloud, speak your intention. If you already know the specific cord you wish to cut… a person, a belief, a wound, a repeating pattern, name it now. If you’re unsure of the exact attachment but can feel the weight of stagnation or emotional heaviness, simply describe the essence of the struggle.
Let Archangel Michael know that you are ready to release what has blocked your growth, stifled your motion, or dimmed your light. You do not need to have perfect clarity… only willingness.
5. With your breath steady, your body relaxed, and your intention spoken, envision Archangel Michael standing before you. See his sword ignite with shimmering blue light, pulsing with the frequency of divine liberation. He raises it with care and precision. Now, in one graceful motion, he brings the blade through the cords, attachments, and energetic threads that no longer belong. They dissolve in a radiant burst of light, disintegrating into nothingness, their lessons complete.
6. As he works, notice how your field feels lighter. You may feel warmth in your chest, a softening in your shoulders, or the unexpected rise of emotion. Allow it. This is the feeling of return… of space being made for you, by you. When Michael finishes, feel his hands resting on your shoulders, sealing your auric field with protection and peace.
7. You may find yourself smiling, exhaling fully, or experiencing a deep inner calm. Let your body express the acknowledgment: “I am free. It is done.”
Remain here as long as you like, breathing in the purity of your reclaimed energy. When you feel ready, thank Archangel Michael and all beings of light who joined you.
Thank yourself for saying yes to this moment. Trust that what has been released is complete. You do not need to carry it anymore.
Amen. A’ho. And so it is.

Forgiveness as Liberation with Archangels Jophiel & Raphael
Waning Crescent in Scorpio
Waning Crescent in Scorpio
The waters deepen. Today continues the Scorpio crescent moon passage, and the focus is on energetic reclamation. You are not who you were even two weeks ago, and yet there may still be parts of you afraid to let go. This is the time to bless the transformation that’s occurred, especially where it’s been uncomfortable. Sit with your shadows gently today. What wisdom did they reveal? What sacred part of you has grown stronger because you dared to look within?
Scorpio teaches us that endings are initiations. Let today be an integration of your inner work. Rest. Nourish your nervous system. Hydrate your soul. Burn what needs burning. Cry what needs crying. Then feel what’s still pulsing with truth in your belly… that’s what gets to stay.
Forgiveness as Liberation with Archangels Jophiel & Raphael
Forgiveness is often misunderstood. It’s been taught as something we owe others, as an act of moral goodness or spiritual bypassing. But true forgiveness… real forgiveness… is not about excusing harm, minimizing pain, or forcing yourself to feel peaceful before you’re ready. Forgiveness is an act of liberation. It is the moment you decide that your life force is no longer available to be siphoned by resentment, replay, or unfinished emotional loops. Under the waning crescent in Scorpio, forgiveness becomes less about “letting go” and more about taking yourself back.
Archangel Jophiel enters first on this day, wrapped in soft golden light, reminding you that forgiveness begins in the mind. She works with perception, helping you gently untangle the narratives that keep you bound to the past. Not by erasing your memories… but by bringing beauty, clarity, and truth to how the story is held inside you.
Jophiel asks: What if forgiveness isn’t forgetting… but seeing differently? What if the story you’ve been carrying is ready to evolve, not be erased?
Then Archangel Raphael steps forward, the great healer of the heart and body, carrying emerald light that soothes what has been bruised, inflamed, or silently endured. Raphael knows that forgiveness cannot be rushed, because the body remembers long after the mind understands. He reminds you that grief, anger, and disappointment must be honored before they can be released.
Forgiveness that skips the body fractures the soul. Forgiveness that includes the body becomes medicine.
Today is not about forcing closure. It’s about honesty. It’s about acknowledging where resentment still lives, where grief still aches, where disappointment still tightens your chest. You may find that forgiveness is not one door you walk through, but a spiral you revisit… over and over… each time with more compassion, more maturity, more sovereignty. Scorpio energy invites you to go to the root, not the surface. And what you’ll likely find is this: the moment you stop fighting your feelings, they begin to soften on their own.
Forgiveness, in its truest form, is not a gift you give away… it is a boundary you create within. It says: I no longer abandon myself to hold this pain.
And with Jophiel clearing the mind and Raphael tending the heart, you are supported in doing this gently, wisely, and without self-betrayal.
A Gentle Forgiveness Practice
(Use this only if it feels right today)
Sit quietly and place one hand on your heart, one on your belly.
Name, out loud or internally, who or what you are still holding pain toward. Be honest.
Ask Archangel Jophiel to help you see the situation with greater clarity and truth, without distortion or self-blame.
Ask Archangel Raphael to bring healing to where the pain still lives in your body.
Say softly:
“I release myself from carrying this any longer. I allow healing to happen in layers, in time, in truth.”
Breathe. Let whatever arises be welcome.
You do not have to forgive perfectly. You only have to forgive truthfully.
As this waning crescent continues to darken the sky, remember this: forgiveness is not weakness. It is not spiritual bypassing. It is not submission. It is reclamation. And every time you choose it… from a place of honesty rather than obligation… you return more fully to yourself.

Embrace Acceptance & Make Peace with the Past
Soul Inventory: What Have I Learned with Archangel Azriel
Waning Crescent in Scorpio
Waning Crescent in Scorpio
This is the final day of the Scorpio Moon, and the stillness may feel sacred or heavy depending on where you are in your process. The Moon’s light is faint now, and with so much already released, you may be tempted to rush into what’s next. But this is not the time to plant. This is the void… the liminal space between identity and rebirth. Let it hold you. Let it soften you.
Scorpio asks: Can you love yourself here, even when you don’t have the answers? Let today be about forgiveness. For what you didn’t say. For what you did. For how you’ve survived. For how you’ve tried. You are here to become real. And healing is rarely clean.
Acceptance & Making Peace with the Past
We often think of peace as something that arrives after everything is resolved, tidy, or healed. But real peace is messier than that, it lives inside the moments when we finally stop resisting what has already happened. It begins when we no longer argue with the past. Under the Scorpio moon's deep waters and waning crescent’s tender hush, we are not asked to fix what has broken, but to meet it with presence. This is where acceptance becomes a spiritual rite. Not a passive resignation, but a conscious agreement to be here with what is… without flinching, rewriting, or denying.
Acceptance is a frequency we can choose. It doesn’t mean you condone what happened, or that you’re okay with every detail. It means you’re ready to stop giving it power over you. This is especially challenging in Scorpio’s terrain, where the shadows run deep and the soul wants… demands… transformation… and not just something you “say” or a single “ceremonial action.” That is surface closure. But the only way out of those tangled threads is through them.
As the moon wanes and turns inward, you are supported in honoring all that has brought you here… the losses, missteps, betrayals, triumphs, and unexpected turns. Not by justifying them… not through the mind’s declarations of understanding, which can become spiritual bypassing… but by releasing your grip on needing them to be different. A full release… mind, body, and spirit… this allows understanding to arise through processed integration. This is how Spirit becomes embodied wisdom. All body.
This phase is an invitation to bow to your own becoming. There is sacredness in the way you have survived. Sacredness in the resilience that blooms from grief. Sacredness in the parts of you that are still soft despite it all. The past cannot be unwritten, but your relationship to it can be rewritten through love. What memory is asking to be laid down at the altar tonight? What pattern or expectation is ready to be composted into wisdom? Scorpio does not fear the depths… so neither must you.
Let this be a night of quiet reverence. Archangel Azrael, the great comforter of transitions and endings, walks with you. Though not always called upon in common prayers, Azrael is the silent companion during our most sacred goodbyes… not only to people, but to identities, timelines, hopes, and stories we once clung to. You may feel a gentle pressure on your heart or a peaceful stillness in your space when Azrael is near. Allow yourself to lean into the release. Peace does not come because the wound vanishes. Peace arrives when the wound is witnessed. And tonight, that witness is you.

Refine Your Intentions for the Future with Archangel Haniel
Waning Crescent in Sagittarius
Waning Crescent in Sagittarius
The Moon enters Sagittarius today, and with it comes the faint spark of future vision. After the emotional depths of Scorpio, Sagittarius lifts the heart just slightly enough to glimpse a horizon. But not so fast Sagittarius, this isn’t about leaping into new goals… the Waning Crescent is still a time of rest, review, and reverence. Rather than chase clarity, listen for the quiet truths trying to reach you.
This is a day for soul whispering… and quiet consideration of something otherworldly to land in your seat.
Let your mind wander gently. Let inspiration come in through dreams, memory, poetry, or the firelight of a candle. Sagittarius brings wisdom through symbolism. What signs are circling your thoughts today? What teachings are landing through everyday moments? Let wonder stir without needing a destination.
Refine Your Intentions for the Future
As the Moon continues to wane in Sagittarius, you are invited into a deeper honesty about your path forward. This is not the time to craft new goals from scratch… but to refine the soul intentions already living within you. What was birthed under December’s New Moon? What prayers did you whisper at the Solstice? What have you outgrown since the Full Moon earlier this month?
Now, with hindsight and clarity, Sagittarius asks you to return to those intentions. This is a time for serious self-honesty… setting a space for soul truth and alignment. What part of your desires came from fear? What part came from the wisdom of your soul? Sagittarius is ruled by Jupiter, the planet of meaning and expansion, and it favors intentions born from faith and alignment, not scarcity or performance. Let yourself revise what no longer fits without shame. Refinement is not failure… it is devotion… and it is important for the arrow of Sagittarius to be true… in a way that is directive and precise... is your arrow strong and true? Do you have aim?
Intentions evolve… they become stronger as you do. Maybe your original intention was to “be successful.” What does that mean now, after all you’ve released this month? Maybe success has softened into simplicity. Maybe your longing for partnership has become a yearning for sacred union within yourself. Maybe your desire to be seen has transformed into a call to express the truth, even if no one claps. The deeper you go into your own meaning, the more power your intentions hold.
This is a sacred moment to journal, set your space, be in intention and whisper aloud… what is still true? And be honest. You are in the deep cocoon… the womb of becoming… not yet ready to emerge, but profoundly aware of your transformation. Ask yourself gently: What do I want my life to feel like? Who do I need to become to hold that reality with grace? Let your future self speak… from the voice of clarity, longing, alignment and knowing. Trust that the intentions you revise today don’t need to be louder to be more powerful. They need only to be real.
Archangel Haniel: Lunar Wisdom & Emotional Truth
Archangel Haniel walks beside you in this process. As the guardian of lunar cycles, emotional rhythms, and intuitive truth, she reminds you that your feelings are not obstacles to your path…they are the path. Haniel helps you honor your inner tides without judgment. She gently illuminates the places where your emotions speak deeper truths than your words, and where subtle wisdom has been quietly waiting to be heard.
Call upon her as you revisit your intentions. Ask her to shine light on the parts of your desires that are rooted in love, vision, and spiritual maturity. Under her guidance, refinement becomes less about cutting things away and more about remembering what’s already whole within you.

Awakening Your Cosmic Memories with Archangel Gabriel
Waning Crescent in Sagittarius
Waning Crescent in Sagittarius
You may feel a tug between stillness and movement today. The Moon continues her passage through Sagittarius, and your spirit might crave expansion… a hike, a prayer, a big-picture conversation. But the Waning Crescent phase still asks for inwardness. Honor both. Move slowly. Dream wildly. Let the wisdom of your inner compass surface without rushing into action.
This is a potent time for refining your spiritual beliefs. What truths still guide you? What dogmas are ready to dissolve? What new philosophies are whispering at the edges of your awareness? Let your soul explore through journaling or sacred study. This is the journey before the journey… the pilgrimage of inner vision.
Awakening Your Cosmic Memories
As the Moon glides into Sagittarius, she brings with her a flicker of sacred fire… the kind that burns for the intention to illuminate. After the watery depths of Scorpio's soul-searching, this Sagittarian moon phase rises like a lantern lit from within. It asks not what you want to do, but what you are here to remember. Beneath this crescent of this lunar cycle, your soul begins stirring with ancient knowing… faint echoes of wisdom you've carried across lifetimes, starlit realms, and holy initiations you thought you'd forgotten.
This is the phase of quiet reclamation. Sagittarius rules expansion, philosophy, and the eternal quest for truth… but today, it’s not about searching outward. It’s about listening inward. You’re not learning something new, you’re retrieving what’s been buried beneath noise, conditioning, and forgetting. Gabriel, the Archangel of divine messages and soul awakening, walks beside you now. His trumpet is not loud today… it’s a whisper threaded through dreams, music, flickers of déjà vu, and moments of awe. The codes are hidden in the moments when you feel both ancient and brand new.
Yesterday we explored refinement, redirect and focus… Today we bring in the essence of new codes… ancient memories, forgotten timelines and past lives that are sure to land soon.
Let yourself be curious...
What parts of you feel like they were never fully claimed in this lifetime?
What fascinations have followed you since childhood?
What places call to you without logic?
What languages, symbols, or archetypes feel like home even though you’ve never studied them?
These are your breadcrumbs. These are your soul’s sacred sparks asking to be remembered. Don’t rush the answers. Just open.
Gabriel’s presence today is like an activation…
a gentle hand over your crown, a shimmer through your heart, a frequency that reawakens the strands of memory woven through your multidimensional self.
If you feel called...
Invite Gabriel to activate your remembered frequencies...
light a candle
place your hands over your heart
and simply ask: “What is ready to be remembered?”
Let him guide you... let the images, sensations, or words arise.
Journal whatever comes… even if it makes no sense yet.
This isn’t about logic... it’s about resonance.
Let this Sagittarius Moon carry you beyond the veil, into the realms of your own becoming.
You are a cosmic traveler.
A soul with stories older than this sky.
And today, you remember just enough to stir the flame of why you’re really here.

Honor Your Personal Growth Journey
Waning Crescent in Capricorn
Waning Crescent in Capricorn
The Moon slips into Capricorn today, and suddenly the soul’s work feels more structured. You may feel called to simplify, organize, or reflect on what your foundations are made of.
Capricorn doesn’t fear the mountain… it simply asks: Is the climb still worth it?
Let today help you reevaluate the scaffolding of your life...
What responsibilities feel aligned with your integrity?
What commitments have become heavy with old versions of you?
As the Moon darkens, the invitation is to release what no longer supports your soul’s long-term vision.
You are not here to prove anything.
You are here to build something meaningful… and sometimes that requires clearing the rubble first.
Be gentle with what’s crumbling. It might just be revealing your truest architecture.
Honor Your Personal Growth Journey
Today’s Capricorn Moon asks you to look at your growth through the lens of structure, integrity, and self-respect. This is not about abstract potential… it’s about who you’ve become through discipline, choices, boundaries, and the quiet work done when no one was watching. Capricorn doesn’t romanticize the climb. It knows what it costs to grow up, show up, and build a life rooted in real values. Under this waning crescent, the Moon invites you to reflect on what you've built within yourself this past lunar cycle. Not just what you’ve healed, but what you’ve stabilized. Not just what you’ve dreamed, but what you’ve proven… to yourself.
Personal growth in Capricorn’s domain looks like emotional maturity. It’s learning to say no when it’s needed. It’s knowing your limits and honoring your word. It’s showing up for your healing as a long-term devotion, not a weekend retreat. This is the journey of becoming reliable to your own soul. It’s where your spiritual life grounds into the physical, where your wisdom becomes embodied, and where you stop outsourcing your authority.
There’s a quiet strength in Capricorn that says: “I don’t have to prove my evolution. I live it.”
Take a moment today to recognize your progress, achieved not by striving for perfection but through consistent perseverance.
The old you may have chased validation, overextended for approval, or clung to roles that no longer reflect your truth. The current you is learning to anchor from within, to build your life from foundations that actually feel like home. Whether you're tending your nervous system, creating healthier patterns, or redefining your priorities… these are not small steps. They are sacred bricks in the temple of your becoming. Capricorn reminds us: true self-honor is practical. It’s not always glamorous. But it is always holy.
As the lunar light wanes, write yourself a simple acknowledgment: “I’ve worked for this peace. I’ve earned this clarity.”
Let the Moon bear witness to your inner milestones. You’re not at the beginning anymore... You are in the sacred in-between, where your past efforts are crystallizing into wisdom and your future path is forming beneath your feet.
Trust that.
Trust yourself.
Your soul has built something real here.
Today marks our first full day under the Capricorn Moon, and with it begins our sacred descent toward the New Moon in Capricorn on Sunday, January 18th. We are nearing the end of the lunar cycle, but the energy isn’t ending just yet… it is quietly preparing us for what’s next.
The next two days serve as a crucial set-up period. During this time, Spirit begins to lay the foundation for the cycle ahead. Although the waning moon may feel gentle and subdued, Capricorn’s influence is present, softly guiding us to consider what we are meant to build and what responsibilities we are destined to hold.
These are blueprint days… Where Spirit begins laying the groundwork for the cycle to come… where momentum and manifestation begin to rise once more. But before we leap forward, Capricorn ensures we’re standing on solid ground.
Trust that the descent is also part of the ascent.
You are finding your footing.

Trust Your Intuition & Prepare for the New Moon Rebirth
Womb of the Moon: Return to Source With Archangel Ariel
Waning Crescent in Capricorn
Trust Your Intuition & Prepare for the New Moon Rebirth
On this final day before the New Moon, the Moon rests in Capricorn… the sign of sacred structure, soul commitment, and embodied integrity. But as she wanes into her most invisible phase, this isn’t the Capricorn of control or effort… it’s the Capricorn of deep wisdom, of inner mountain stillness, of soul-rooted knowing. When the Moon fades from view, the external world dims… so that your inner world can speak louder. This is a moment to listen. To trust. To let your intuition guide you home.
Perhaps it comes in whispers... or a sensation in your body. Perhaps it feels like relief, like peace, or like a thread you want to follow even if you can’t explain why. This is the kind of guidance that doesn’t argue with logic. It simply is. Under this darkening moon, you’re being asked to surrender to your inner compass… to honor the voice that speaks without words.
Capricorn, in its highest expression, governs the wisdom of time and endurance. It teaches that true guidance unfolds when we pause long enough to feel it. In the hush before a new cycle begins, your soul is recalibrating.
This is the sacred void… the womb space of creation. The moment before new light. The dark soil where divine instructions are whispered. And your intuition is the midwife that carries you through it.
Womb of the Moon: Return to Source With Archangel Ariel
Archangel Ariel,
Lioness of Divine Courage, stands with you now… She is a steadying force. She reminds you that courage is not always fierce… sometimes it is tender. Sometimes it is sitting with the unknown and saying: “I’m not afraid to be here.” Ariel helps you feel safe in the dark. She anchors you in embodied trust. She walks beside you through the mystery, not around it. Her energy is both wild and soft… the primal earth guardian and the celestial midwife of new timelines.
Call on her today if you feel lost or uncertain. Call on her if you feel quiet and full. She will not fill the silence… she will help you hold it. She will help you trust what you feel but cannot name yet.
Let this day be a prayer. A stillness. A breath into your belly. You only need to stay with yourself. Gently. Lovingly. Devoutly.
Ask yourself:
What part of me is preparing to be reborn?
What truth is whispering beneath the silence?
What do I trust without needing to explain?
You are arriving… Into yourself. Into what’s next. Into the sacred truth that only the darkness can show you.
This is the final descent before New Moon rebirth.
And you are already becoming the light you seek.
Tomorrow... A new Post...
The New Moon in Capricorn.
We start to rise!
We’ll be here every day, downloading more guidance…
This next phase is just beginning...
There will be a new post, a new thread, a new reflection.
So come on back...
There will be something waiting here for you...
a message meant just for this moment in your journey.
