Waning Moon in Cancer → Libra | A Week of Emotional Reset & Self-Nurture
After the intensity of the last few weeks, this waning moon brings with it a deep sigh of relief, a moment to rest, to exhale, to simply be. As we drift from Cancer’s nurturing tides into Leo’s warm fire, Virgo’s earthy calm, and Libra’s harmonious air, the cosmos invites us to tend to our emotional body and rediscover balance. For those who have been drained by the cosmic energies recently, this week will be your chance to reset.
The waning moon phase is the quiet descent before renewal, the space where we release what no longer serves and prepare for the clarity of the new moon ahead. It’s the energetic equivalent of cleaning out your inner cupboards: dusting off the old emotions, letting the light in, and deciding what’s truly worth keeping.
🌙 Cancer (Sunday – Tuesday): The moon opens the week wrapped in soft emotion. You may feel tender, nostalgic, or drawn to comfort. It’s a time to nurture your inner world, cook something warm, wrap yourself in a blanket, and journal about what your heart is ready to let go of.
🔥 Leo (Tuesday – Thursday): As the moon moves into Leo, you’re reminded that even while resting, you can still shine. Confidence doesn’t always mean performance, sometimes it’s found in quiet self-assurance, in the knowing that your worth is not tied to productivity.
🌿 Virgo (Thursday – Saturday): Virgo helps you find practical ways to heal. Simplify. Declutter your physical space to soothe your mental one. Drink herbal tea, take mindful walks, and give your nervous system permission to reset.
💨 Libra (Saturday onward): The week ends with the moon in Libra, guiding us towards inner peace and balance. Reflect on your relationships, are they reciprocal? Do they feel peaceful or draining? Libra encourages you to seek gentle harmony without losing yourself.
This ritual is designed to help you reset emotionally and energetically, drawing on both magical and holistic elements.
✨ Try the “5-4-3-2-1” grounding method if anxiety spikes: name 5 things you can see, 4 you can touch, 3 you can hear, 2 you can smell, and 1 you can taste.
🌿 Sip a calming blend of chamomile and lemon balm tea in the evening to soothe your nervous system.
💧 Place your hands over your solar plexus and repeat, “I release control, I trust in my flow.” This resets the body’s stress response and opens space for clarity.
As we move through the waning phase, your intention should focus on release and renewal. Ask yourself:
Write a single sentence that sums up your answer and place it somewhere visible for the week.
With this week’s earthy and emotional blend of signs, you may find yourself oscillating between deep reflection and small bursts of motivation. Honour both. This is not a week to force productivity, it’s a week to restore your inner rhythm.
When your spirit whispers for rest, this session is where you’ll find it.
Reiki & Sound Therapy combine two deeply restorative healing modalities into one soothing experience designed to quiet the mind and bring the body back into balance. The gentle flow of Reiki energy releases stagnation and emotional weight, while the tones of singing bowls, tuning forks, and gong calm the nervous system and realign your energetic field.
This is a wonderful choice for anyone feeling emotionally drained, energetically heavy, or in need of reconnection with themselves after a demanding season.

The waning moon reminds us that even in release, there is beauty.
Even in rest, there is transformation.
Take this week to breathe, to feel, to soften and trust that when the new moon comes, you’ll rise lighter and more whole than before.
Until next week,
With love
