Are you feeling off-track? Wimbly-wambly-wombly? It’s ok. You’re in tune with the moon. The Last Quarter Moon is considered a time when we experience a crisis in consciousness. What do I do now? Did I overshoot my mark? Where did I go wrong?
If you feel like you’re standing in the middle of a bunch of junk and can’t see your way clear, it’s time for some lunar decluttering. Bring in an expert to help you. That expert is Virgo.
Wimbly-wambly-wombly: unsteady, wobbly
In Virgo, the Moon’s focuses on and finds comfort in order, discernment, and detail. Virgo, ruled by Mercury, brings analytical precision to her desire for service. Don’t go plucking out your eye if it offends thee but do reconcile where you are now with your original intentions for this lunation. It’s time to simplify, organize, and get down to the business of letting go of what doesn’t serve or align with your vision.

Comfort Aids for the Waning Moon in Virgo
- Candle Color: Use white or earthy green for purification and grounding
- Crystal Companion: Moss agate for grounding and earth connection or fluorite to rid feelings of instability
- Salt Blend: Sea salt + dried sage + lemon zest for cleansing and clarity
- Action Ritual: Cleanse your space to refresh and renew. Wipe the surfaces with an appropriate product. Take paper and pen/pencil (Virgo loves stationery). Write down a thing to release that will help get you back on track. When finished, tear the paper into teeny-tiny pieces (Virgo loves miniatures) and compost or bury them as a symbol of refreshing relief.

Compost the Chaos, Cultivate the Clarity
As the Last Quarter Moon wanes in Virgo, let your discernment be your lantern. You don’t need to fix everything—just clear enough space to breathe, to recommit and take the next step toward completion. Virgo doesn’t demand perfection; she invites precision. Let your ritual be a quiet revolution.
This is not a purge. It’s a refinement. This is not punishment. It’s preparation. You are not broken. You are becoming. The Moon is waning, but your wisdom is waxing. Let clarity rise.
