Leo Waning Moon

Reflection · Release · Integration

The waning moon marks the final phase of the moonth. It’s a time to slow down, close things out, and choose what still feels meaningful enough to bring into the next cycle.

Leo’s Influence: What You’ve Been Showing

At the Leo waning moon, attention turns to how you’ve been expressing yourself and where you’ve been seeking recognition. This is a time to notice when you felt seen and confident, as well as moments when you felt overlooked, defensive, or overly focused on how you appeared to others.

This phase highlights where pride has supported you and where it may have made things harder. Some efforts felt good to stand behind. Others required more performance than felt natural.

Leo’s influence emphasizes awareness of how you show up. Integration happens when you decide which parts of your expression are authentic and worth continuing, and which ones you will no longer maintain.

Leo Reflection · Release · Integration Practices

Reflection during the Leo waning moon phase means reviewing how you’ve presented yourself this cycle. Notice when you felt proud of your actions and when you felt pressure to impress, prove yourself, or stay visible.

Release involves stepping back from roles, behaviors, or expectations that require constant attention or approval. This can include performing for praise, defending your position, or holding onto recognition that no longer feels satisfying.

Integration is about choosing how you want to be seen going forward. It means continuing to move through the world in a way is genuine and letting go what is forced or exhausting.
