The Last Quarter Moon in Libra was the first moon phase of 2024 and will now be the second to last of this year; the New Moon in Capricorn follows on Dec 30, making it just in time! This quarter moon is also the first moon phase of Capricorn Season 2024, arriving just one day after the Winter Solstice.

The Waning Last Quarter Moon rises at midnight, peaks at dawn, and sets at noon all over the world. Here the luscious Libra moon in squares the pragmatic Capricorn sun.

Both Libra and Capricorn belong to the cardinal modality. Cardinal energy is a call to action. It’s time to initiate with purpose. At this moon phase it’s all happening where heart and head intersect.

Social Libra calls from the heart; Capricorn ruminates on work, structure, and finance. Libra the Counselor provides interpersonal wisdom. Capricorn, architect of the zodiac, plans for the long haul. This moon phase is a great time to think deeply about how we want to structure 2025. Key relationships are a part of this structure always.

Soothsayer Libra keeps us vigilant, accountable to ourselves. She shows us what a healthy relationship truly looks like. Libra symbolizes interpersonal balance, decision-making, and listening. Through her we gain greater understanding not just of others but also Self. Each relationship is a portal through which we learn more about ourselves.

The Last Quarter Moon in Libra is peaceful and cathartic because it brings us closer together. The moon forms a deliciously dark trine to Pluto in Aquarius which means that we need to expect a dash of drama and sexiness. Shouldn’t be a problem, Libra loves all of this.

Drink plenty of water to honor your kidneys, ruled by Libra. In meditation, focus on the heart chakra. Initiate balance with Libra Yoga. To find your personal moon sign, click here.
