The waning moon follows the full moon, and the moon will now slowly diminish in size until the new moon.
Now is the time to banish those bad habits, break up those unhelpful relationships, and move on. It’s time to banish anything that is unwanted, and reverse any moves that you might have made that haven’t been for your highest good. This time can be used to settle disputes and make amends too.
Waning Moon Crystals
Crystals that are beneficial at this moon phase are:
- Citrine
- Clear Quartz
- Bloodstone
Below are a few spells, rituals, oils and elixirs that you could use on a waning moon.
Waning Moon Meditation
Find a comfortable position, make sure that you are warm and will not be disturbed. If you can meditate outside comfortably, go ahead.
Breathe slowly and deeply for a few minutes, enjoying the sensation of your breath moving in and out of your body, until you start to drift into your own world.
As you settle into your comfortable space, you notice a field with a tree centred in the middle and feel compelled to approach the tree. It’s late afternoon and you breathe in the pungent autumn air, noticing all of the beautiful colours that are surrounding you.
As you approach the tree you notice that it is burdened with fruit and its boughs are hanging low to the ground. The sweet smell of the fallen fruit becomes stronger as you approach.
Carefully, you begin to pick the fruit and gather them into the basket that you notice, just behind the tree’s trunk. The work is hard; the branches scratch your arms and soon the basket grows heavy. You rest a little under the tree but know that you must complete this task or the fruit will be wasted. As you do this, you become aware of the similarities within your own life and acknowledge the projects in your own life that are also hard work but need a final push to complete now. You briefly stop to write down these tasks so that you can complete them as soon as you return home.
When you have completed the harvest you find a hollow in the trunk and step inside the tree to enjoy the reward of your work and thank the tree for its gift to you.
You notice that the branches of the tree are now light and the energy is moving downward into the Earth, so you allow your energy to fall in sync with the tree’s energy.
You notice how this feels as peace and fulfillment passes down through you, and you start to feel compelled toward the final stages of work that need be completed before you shut down for winter and any lessons that you would like to learn.
You get ready to leave the tree, and you notice a final piece of wisdom that the tree would like to impart upon you. Listen carefully, making sure to remember it forever, then you leave the tree.
You return now to your body and reflect on the knowledge and lessons that you have learned. When you are ready slowly open your eyes. Be present with your surroundings as you gradually return to your daily life.

Beautiful Bath Elixir For Reflection
Try this recipe for bath salts for use on a waning moon.
It is great for encouraging self reflection, and personal honesty. It can be used during a waning moon, or whenever you want, to gain clarity about what you want, and what you need to let go of.
You Will Need:
- Blue topaz or sulfur crystals (as many as you’d like)
- Matcha (1 cup)
- Vetiver essential oil (6 drops)
- Sage essential oil (6 drops)
- Pink rose petals (optional)
- Sea salt (1 cup)
- 1 cup Baking Soda to condition the water and soften the skin.
Instructions:
Bathe for approximately 40 minutes, and whilst you are in the bath, allow yourself to let go of anything that you are holding (if you feel emotions, allow them to flow through you without judging them). As you become free from your burdens, allow yourself to reflect honestly about your life and what you need, or need to let go of. Use this space and the elixir to help you to acknowledge and accept the changes you might need to make and let go of what you don’t need.
To enhance the potency of the elixir, do this every day during a waning moon, or as frequently as possible.
