Last Quarter Moon - The Moon is now 21 to 24.5 days away from the New Moon and the Moon is 270-315 degrees ahead of the Sun. The crescent shape the waning moon will become begins turning itself westward, to the realm of death. The power if Moon is now waning, being drawn inside for later use. Cast spells now requiring resolution or for something to be concluded. The waning moon is used for banishing magick, for ridding oneself of addictions, illness or negativity. The Last Quarter Moon (or waning half moon) rises around midnight and sets around noon. Astrologically the Moon is square to the Sun. She is visible from the time she rises almost until she sets. The Last Quarter Moon is the HARVEST phase - the lunar plant gives her life so that others may continue theirs.  Keywords for the Last Quarter phase are: realignment, revision, integration and cleansing. It is the time in lunar cycle to take closing action, to follow-up and complete the activities begun at the New phase. During this phase you become aware of what is and what is not working with respect to the achievement of your goal for this cycle. The movement is toward integration. Open to your success. MANIFEST YOUR GOAL. Be responsible. Those who were born in a Last Quarter phase have a powerful internal life of reflection and transformation. They can assume different roles while balancing their internal and external worlds.

Saturn's Day - the Day of Manifestation and Structure, Assessment and Responsibility - Foundation Day ......  there are minor magickal energies for protection today.
