We are moving through a Waning Crescent Moon in Capricorn. This phase is about clearing away! Remember, wax on, wane off. This is not the time to start something new or make big declarations. With the last quarter moon just right behind us, this is the final release point before the next New Moon, which means whatever is surfacing now is ready to be composted.

Capricorn energy can stir up themes around responsibility, usefulness, productivity, and how we measure our worth in the world. You may notice a subtle urge to prove yourself or make sure everything is handled before you allow yourself to rest. There can also be a quieter undercurrent of wondering whether you are being seen or valued for what you contribute.

This is where the teaching is.

When the Moon moves through Capricorn during a waning phase, it often exposes where we are still seeking validation from the outside instead of trusting our inner authority. Capricorn at its highest expression is integrity and self-leadership. At its shadow expression, it can become over-responsibility and external approval-seeking. Live in the HIGHER vibe of this moon!

If something feels heavy, pause before assuming you need to do more. Ask yourself whether you are operating from alignment. Make sure you are honoring your own internal values. Don't adjust them to match what you think is expected of you.

If you want to apply body awareness, Capricorn governs the knees, joints, backbone, connective tissues, skin, and the structures that hold us upright. Notice your posture; where you are rigid, tight, heavy, or bracing? Use gentle stretching, mineral-rich nourishment, hydration, and slower pacing to support the energetic flow right now. 

May the three-card spread help guide you to what wants to release before the New Moon cycle begins. As always, you will choose 1, 2, or 3 and let your intuition guide the message that is meant for you.

This moon is asking us for honesty and the continued release of the need for outside reassurance. May we each walk into the next lunar cycle grounded in our own authority! 

Take a deep breath, reflect, and choose.

Here is the reveal:

LEFT: Knight of Water

If you are choosing this position, there is likely an emotional layer ready to release. Think simply about what is ready to be cleared, and notice where you feel that in your body? The Knight of Water often appears when the heart is ready to soften or when something romantic, creative, or emotionally meaningful is asking for attention. During a Waning Capricorn moon, this can mean releasing emotional expectations that are tied to approval or validation. Notice where you may be giving your energy away in hopes of being understood or appreciated. Or even accepted. The invitation here is to balance emotion with discernment. Do not abandon your self-respect in the process. Keep your beautiful open heart and invite new friendships and relationships in.

CENTER: Eight of Air

The Eight of Air speaks directly to the mind. It represents the illusion of being trapped or limited by fear, doubt, a lack of empowerment, or overthinking. Under this Capricorn clearing phase, this card can reflect stories we tell ourselves about why something cannot change. Many of these constraints are internal rather than external. If you chose this position, the release may involve stepping out of mental loops that keep you small. Release overthinking and notice where you are keeping yourself stuck in your own mind. Confidence returns when you remember that the path forward becomes visible when you choose to move. Eights are always linked with abundance and infinity and an all-seeing eye! Let it be prosperous!

RIGHT: Three of Fire

The Three of Fire carries the energy of long-term vision and expansion. It reminds us that patience and trust are essential when something meaningful is growing. With this Capricorn moon, the message here is about releasing the pressure to see immediate results. You may already be on the right path, but growth is unfolding over time. Things may not happen overnight, and that is actually a very supportive thing. Right now is a quieter time, so take advantage of that. Be still and look out at possibility like the characters on this card. Keep your focus on the bigger horizon. What are you building that has the potential to be abundant and rewarding if you allow it to mature naturally?

May this help you to reflect and release! As we approach the New Moon, rmeber the more we release what is rooted in pressure, the easier it becomes to step into the next cycle with clarity and trust.

Big love,
