About the Waning Crescent
The Waning Crescent, also called the Balsamic Moon, is the final phase before renewal. The thinnest sliver of light remains. This is a deeply introspective time for rest, healing, and spiritual surrender. Release the last cycle completely and prepare your soul for the New Moon ahead.
