It's the closing chapter in the Moon's monthly saga. It brings a time of little or no light, the final crescent before the next lunar cycle and a new Moon.
Eight Moon Phases
Did you know that the Moon has eight phases?
They are:
New Moon
Crescent Moon
First Quarter Moon
Gibbous Moon
Full Moon
Disseminating Moon
Last Quarter Moon
Balsamic Moon
What To Do When The Moon's Balsamic
When the Moon enters its final phase, it's winding down an entire month of lunar waxing and waning.
That signals us to do the same: wind down. Rest, relax, reflect. It's the best time all month to step back, sleep more, and reflect on how the past month went.
