Quick Insight
The Last Quarter Moon meets the energy of spring, creating a beautiful balance between outward expansion and inner reflection. This week is about releasing what’s no longer serving you, supporting your hormones with Phase 2 Seed Cycling, and embracing the quiet wisdom that prepares you for a fresh new cycle ahead.
Southern Hemisphere Energy: Springtime Reflection & Renewal
As we step deeper into spring, the world around us is blooming a reminder of growth, colour, and new beginnings. Yet the moon begins to wane, entering her Last Quarter phase a time to release, restore, and realign before the next cycle begins.
This week carries a beautiful duality: spring invites expansion and outward movement, while the waning moon calls you inward to integrate and simplify. Together, they remind us that balance isn’t about constant growth it’s about honouring both blooming and rest.
Lunar Energy & Guidance
The Last Quarter Moon is your invitation to pause. Reflect on the intentions and growth that unfolded since the New Moon two weeks ago. Ask yourself:
What am I ready to release?
What feels complete, or no longer aligned with my energy?
What small shifts can create more space for joy and vitality?
Even in spring a season of outward blossoming this moon encourages mindful pruning. By releasing what’s unnecessary, you create space for fresh energy to flow through your body and life.
Honour Where You Are in Your Cycle
Not everyone seed cycling with their own menstrual rhythm will be in their luteal phase this week and that’s completely okay.
You don’t need to be synced with the moon to experience the benefits of seed cycling or cyclical living. This guide is here to educate, inspire, and help you reconnect with your body’s natural flow no matter where you’re at in your cycle or life stage.
There may be times when your menstrual rhythm aligns beautifully with the moon’s phases and it can feel magical, intuitive, and deeply connected.
When it doesn’t, honour that too. Every cycle is unique, and the most powerful thing you can do is simply listen to your body and support it with kindness, nourishment, and awareness.
Seed Cycling Focus – Phase 2
This week, continue using your Phase 2 Seed Cycle Mixes daily to nourish your hormones as your body transitions from estrogen’s high point into progesterone production.
Our Phase 2 blends is formulated with nutrient-dense seeds to support this natural shift helping balance hormones, ease PMS symptoms, and stabilise mood and energy.
If your cycle isn’t regular or if you’re pregnant, postpartum, on birth control, perimenopausal, or post-menopausal use the lunar calendar as your rhythm. The moon offers a steady, natural guide when your own cycle feels uncertain.
For Those Seed Cycling with Your Menstrual Cycle
You may now be in your Luteal Phase the second half of your cycle, beginning after ovulation and lasting until your next period.
During this phase, progesterone rises to prepare the body for potential conception. You may feel more grounded, reflective, or inwardly focused. It’s common to notice changes in mood, energy, or sleep your body is asking for nourishment and rest.
Cycle-Syncing Tips for the Luteal Phase:
Prioritise warm, comforting foods roasted vegetables, hearty soups, and whole grains.
Allow more rest swap high-intensity exercise for yoga, stretching, or nature walks.
Support your mood with magnesium-rich foods (dark leafy greens, cacao).
Keep your caffeine and sugar moderate to avoid energy crashes.
This phase is about slowing down without stopping maintaining gentle momentum while caring for your nervous system and hormones.
Springtime Self-Care Tip
Spring energy invites freshness and renewal but with the waning moon, it’s a good time to pair cleansing with gentleness.
Try:
- Warm lemon water in the morning
- Plenty of greens, fiber, and hydration
- Restorative movement (Pilates, gentle yoga, or walks outdoors)
- Evening wind-down rituals to calm the mind before sleep
These practices support natural liver detoxification and hormone balance, keeping your spring energy vibrant yet grounded.
Ritual for Release
As the moon fades and your energy turns inward, create a quiet space for reflection.
Place a few dark-coloured flowers such as deep red roses, burgundy dahlias, or purple tulips on a bench, altar, or bedside table where you can see them.
Their rich tones symbolise the luteal phase the deep, fertile soil where rest and renewal take root.
Light a candle and take a few slow breaths.
Write down one thing you’re ready to release a thought, pattern, or habit that feels heavy or no longer aligns with who you’re becoming.
When you’re ready, tear or safely burn the paper and softly speak:
“I release what no longer serves me and create space for what’s meant to bloom.”
Close your eyes and sit in stillness. Feel your body soften and your breath deepen trusting that, like the moon, you’re always cycling toward renewal.
