24–30 November — Southern Hemisphere
Waxing Crescent · Late Spring · Phase 1 Seeds
Last week’s New Moon on the 20th pressed a quiet reset button, and now we move into the Waxing Crescent...a phase of gentle build, clearer thinking, and slowly returning motivation.
This week doesn’t arrive with big highs or emotional intensity. Instead, it brings a steady, neutral energy that supports small wins, light progress, and a sense of getting back on track after a softer period.
It’s the kind of week where you’ll feel ready to take action in pockets: moments of clarity followed by dips where your body asks for a pause. This streaky energy is normal for the Waxing Crescent. It’s the build before the momentum the warm-up, not the race.
Late spring in the Southern Hemisphere amplifies this. Longer days, warmer mornings, and better metabolic flow create a natural desire to refresh, reorganise, and lighten the load. You may notice yourself wanting to tidy your space, reset your routines, or make small but meaningful changes ahead of December.
Energetic Landscape of the Week
The Waxing Crescent brings a feeling of quiet strength. You start to reconnect with your motivation, but without the push or urgency that often comes later in the lunar cycle. Decisions feel easier, your mind feels clearer, and you’ll likely notice more willingness to plan and organise. It’s a grounded, steady kind of progress — not dramatic, but deeply effective.
The challenge, however, is inconsistency. Energy rises in waves, then falls quickly. If you try to push through the dips, frustration or overwhelm can creep in. The best approach is to match your energy rather than fight it: take action during the bursts, rest when you need to, and keep your expectations simple.
This is an excellent week to gently tackle tasks you’ve been avoiding, clear physical or digital clutter, and re-establish habits that slipped during the New Moon lull. Think light structure, not intensity. Small resets make December feel easier.
Cycle Syncing This Week
You may naturally fall into or approach their Follicular Phase around this time, a phase that pairs beautifully with Waxing Crescent energy. The follicular phase brings a sense of freshness and upward movement: digestion tends to feel lighter, skin often looks clearer, and focus becomes easier.
You may feel more open to planning, scheduling, starting new routines, or getting creative. The only caution here is the temptation to overcommit because the rising energy feels exciting. Pace yourself. Let the lightness of this phase work with you, not push you into burnout before December begins.
Seed Cycling Support
If you're seed cycling with the moon, this week continues Phase 1: Flax + Pumpkin Seeds, which began at last Thursday’s New Moon. This phase supports healthy estrogen metabolism, clearer skin, and smoother digestion all of which complement the upward, organising energy of late spring.
If you cycle with your own menstrual rhythm, simply remain in the phase you’re in; there’s no need to change anything for the moon unless you choose to follow it.
Late Spring Influence
Late spring in the Southern Hemisphere brings brighter mornings, lighter meals, higher mood, and increasing motivation. You may feel a natural pull to clear space and simplify before the end-of-year rush. It’s a season that supports both physical and mental refresh.
This combination — Waxing Crescent + follicular + late spring — creates a week that is ideal for easing back into your rhythm. Not rushing. Not forcing. Just steady, consistent movement in the right direction.
How to Work With This Week
This is the perfect time to gently reconnect with routines, start new habits without pressure, organise your schedule, and clear the small tasks that make your space feel lighter. Use the bursts of motivation when they come, but don’t judge yourself for needing pauses. Consistency will serve you better than intensity.
A few themes to keep in mind:
Small steps build real momentum
Simple routines beat complicated ones
Rest between bursts is part of the rhythm, not a setback
Clearing space now reduces December overwhelm
Phase 1 seeds support the body beautifully this week
