Last Quarter Moon Phase

Last Quarter — Practical Adjustments
Now we make the final adjustments to the seeds planted at the New Moon. We make the final call, send the final letters, and follow the trails that still make sense. Other paths are allowed to fall away. This phase favors wise action and thoughtful decision-making.
It is a time for living the spirit of the Serenity Prayer:
God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change,
the courage to change the things I can,
and the wisdom to know the difference.
Hero’s Journey: Rebuilding life after the transformation.
Creative/Science Process: Critique and evaluation.
Focus on:
What actions are you taking that tap your strength? How are calling up self-esteem? How are you putting yourself out there in big ways? How are you tapping courage? Can you amplify kindness?
Planetary Notes:
11/4: Venus sextile Jupiter (24 LE) Big joy, big fun, big oxygen. You can find it and bring it.
11/4: Sun conjunction Mercury – inferior (12 SC) What information has just landed that suggests ending something, someone or some behavior because it no longer makes sense?
Balsamic Moon Phase
November 5, 2026
3:02am (PST)
Balsamic — Release
This phase closes the lunar cycle. We release what has run its course so the next cycle can begin. By letting go we clear space for the next New Moon. Reflection, rest, and closure allow the mind and spirit to reset before the next intention emerges.
Hero’s Journey: The return and completion of the journey.
Creative/Science Process: Rest and incubation before the next idea.
Focus on: How are releasing your insecurity? How are you releasing your critical nature? How are you releasing your pickiness? How are you releasing your anxiety? How are you releasing perfection?
Planetary Notes:
11/5: Mars enters shadow (20 LE)
