Waning Crescent Moon in Taurus → Gemini → Cancer (July 18–23, 2025)

 

 

The Sacred Surrender Before Rebirth

 

 

As the final sliver of moonlight melts into the night, the Waning Crescent Moon draws us inward - inviting quiet, release, and divine surrender. Between July 18 and 23, this phase glides through Taurus, Gemini, and Cancer, offering a multi-layered emotional and energetic descent before the New Moon’s rebirth.

This is a portal for rest, closure, and intuitive attunement. And this time, it’s not just one energy - it’s three.
Let’s explore the moon’s sacred spiral through each sign and how you can align with her rhythm.

 

✧ Taurus Waning Crescent (July 18–19)

Theme: Grounded release
In earthy Taurus, the waning moon invites you to let go gently. Let comfort be your companion. This is a time to rest your body, release attachments to physical or financial tension, and reconnect with the present moment.

 

✧ Gemini Waning Crescent (July 20–21)

Theme: Mental unburdening
In airy Gemini, it’s time to declutter your mind. Overthinking? Holding onto old conversations or self-talk loops? This is your moment to breathe it out and name what no longer serves your mental space.

 

✧ Cancer Waning Crescent (July 22–23)

Theme: Emotional clearing
As the moon sinks into her home sign, Cancer, she prepares for deep soul rest. This is the true inner tide - emotions may surface for gentle release, not to overwhelm, but to purify. Wrap yourself in tenderness. This is sacred womb-space energy.

✧ Final Reflection

This phase doesn’t ask you to act.
It asks you to unbecome.
To allow what is no longer meant for you to return to the earth.
To float softly into your own silence.

Let Taurus ground you.
Let Gemini clear your thoughts.
Let Cancer cradle your heart.
Then rest. The moon will return.
