🌘 18 August 2025
🌘 Last Quarter
✨Moon Reflections
As the moon begins to wane, we’re invited into gentle release and quiet reflection. Leo’s warmth still lingers, but the energy is softening - a time to simplify and ask: What truth will I carry forward?
The Last Quarter Moon rises on Saturday 16 August at 06:12 BST, offering space to recalibrate before the New Moon begins again.
In this edition, we honour quiet truths, waning moon rituals, and earthy gratitude.
Loving our softer, sparkly new aesthetic? It’s a reflection of the beauty and empowerment we’re weaving into every word.

🌬️ Emma’s Reflection
The pause after power ❝ “I release to rise, and trust what’s meant will meet me.” | After the fire of the Full Moon and the bold energy of Leo season, there’s a moment I always forget to honour the exhale. I often try to push through, keep up momentum, hold it all. But this part? This is the real magick. Letting go of what’s no longer aligned isn’t weakness. It’s sacred self-trust. This week I’m sitting with what I no longer want to carry into Virgo season. The noise. The proving. The pushing. Let’s honour the power in the pause together. |

🌕 Card Reflection
Last Quarter Moon wisdom and how to draw it through
Pull a card and ask: “What am I being invited to release with kindness?”
Let it sit with you. Journal freely, no pressure, no perfect answer. Just truth.
This week, notice where your resistance is gentle but firm, the beliefs that slip under the surface.
Ask yourself:
✨ What expectation can I release?
✨ What truth am I avoiding because it might change everything?
🖤 Shadow Work
Resistance, avoidance, and what’s quietly ready to shift
🖤What’s Quietly Ready to Shift? Shadow doesn’t always shout. Sometimes it whispers:
"I can’t rest until it’s perfect."
"If I stop, I’ll fall behind."
"I should be over this by now."
“One card, one question at a time.
Just you, your deck and your journal”.
🧙♀️ Claire’s Grimoire
3 Ways to Work with the Waning Moon
 ❝ I release with water, fire, and will — what once was mine, I now distil. | The waning moon is your cosmic permission slip to release, reset and reclaim your space. These simple spells are all about lightening the load and letting the energy flow again.  |
🛁 Salt Bath with Intentional Pour-Out – Soak away your residue, then as you pull the plug, pour the water out slowly and name what you’re ready to release. Let it swirl away, never yours to carry again.
🔥 Bay Leaf Burn – Write down the weight you no longer wish to hold on a bay leaf. Burn it in a fireproof dish and watch your release rise with the smoke.
📦 Shed Something Physical – The magick of movement lives in your home too. Donate a book, clear a drawer, or throw away that one thing you've held onto for no good reason. Stagnant energy doesn’t stand a chance.
🔥 Emma’s Fire & Flow
Breathwork and bay leaves for energetic release
This week’s ritual is simple and powerful.
You’ll need:
A quiet space
A bay leaf and pen
A candle or open window
Breathe in deeply through the nose, exhale through the mouth. Do this seven times.
Write what you’re ready to release on the bay leaf.
Light the candle or sit by a window. Burn the leaf safely or rip it into tiny pieces and release it to the wind.
Whisper: "I release this weight with love. I return to myself."
🌗 Tarot Spread
The Recalibration Spread (Pause, Pivot, Proceed).
Pause – What truth am I being shown right now?
Pivot – What shift is ready within me?
Proceed – How can I honour this truth going forward?
The Seed Tarocle Deck
Pause - What truth am I being shown right now?
🃏 The Hermit
Tarocle Message: There is wisdom in the withdrawal. There is always tomorrow.
You’re being shown the value of inner stillness. This truth isn’t loud, but it is potent, your clarity lives in the quiet.
It's time to retreat and reflect, not to rush or explain.
Pivot - What shift is ready within me?
🃏 The Eight of Cups
Tarocle Message: Let go of the almosts. Keep rising.
The shift is emotional and overdue. You’re being called to walk away from what no longer nourishes you, even if it once did.
The discomfort is your compass. Trust what feels hollow and honour what’s calling you forward.
Proceed - How can I honour this truth going forward?
🃏 The Queen of Swords
Tarocle Message: Your truth does not require apology. Self belief can move mountains.
With clarity sharpened, you now proceed with discernment. This is not the time for softness with your boundaries.
Cut cords, speak plainly, and move with self-respect. Honour the truth by embodying it.
