Okay, here’s my attempt at a blog post, channeling that “mature, experienced blogger” vibe and focusing on a practical, step-by-step approach to the “waning gibbous moon astrology” topic:
Alright, so I got into this whole moon phase thing a while back. It’s kinda cool how the moon can, like, affect things, you know? So, I decided to really pay attention to this last waning gibbous moon and see what it was all about.
My Little Experiment Begins
First thing I did was mark the start of the waning gibbous phase on my calendar. I just used a regular wall calendar, nothing fancy. I also jotted down some intentions, things that I wanted to focus on this time. I kept noticing the moon at night too.
I’d read somewhere that this phase is all about, like, letting go and reflecting. So, that was my main goal – to see what I needed to release and what lessons I could learn from the past cycle.
The “Doing” Part
- Journaling: Every morning, I’d grab my notebook and just free-write. Anything that came to mind. It wasn’t always pretty, sometimes it was just grumpy complaints, but it helped me see what was really bugging me.
- Meditating (sort of): I’m not a big meditation person, but I tried to sit quietly for a few minutes each day. Just breathing and trying to clear my head. It was more like “focused chilling” than actual meditation, but hey, it counts, right?
- Cleaning Out My Closet (Literally): I figured if I was going to “release” stuff, I might as well start with the physical clutter. So, I tackled my closet. It was surprisingly therapeutic! I got rid of a bunch of clothes I hadn’t worn in ages.
- Noticing Patterns: This was the big one. As I went through the week, I started to see patterns in my thoughts and behaviors. Like, I realized I was holding onto some resentment about a work project. It was like, “Aha! This is what I need to work on.”
What I Learned
By the end of the waning gibbous phase, I felt…lighter. It’s hard to explain. It wasn’t like all my problems magically disappeared, but I felt more aware of them, and more ready to deal with them. The cleaning my closet step was really effective for me.
I also realized that I’m pretty good at starting things, but not so great at finishing them. That’s something I want to work on during the next lunar cycle. I think I try to plan too much instead of just doing it.
So, yeah, that was my little waning gibbous moon experiment. It was definitely worthwhile. I’m planning to do this again next month, maybe with a different focus. It’s kinda like a personal check-in, using the moon as a reminder. If you’re curious, give it a try! Just keep it simple and see what you discover.
