On May 1st, 2024, the moon will be in its waning crescent phase. This phase occurs just before the new moon, during the last sliver of visible moon as it diminishes and prepares to start anew. It's a time often associated with reflection, release, and the finalization of projects, making it a good period for wrapping up old tasks and clearing the way for new beginnings.
As the moon enters its waning crescent phase, it's a perfect time to reflect on recent achievements and prepare for new beginnings.
During the waning crescent moon, embrace the quieter energy to focus on relaxation and rejuvenation for both you and your horse. This is an excellent period to engage in light training or leisurely activities that help release any built-up tension from more intense sessions. Consider dedicating some time to gentle grooming or a peaceful trail walk. These activities not only soothe the body but also calm the mind, enhancing the emotional bond between you and your horse.
Use this time to reflect on the past training cycle. What has worked well? What might need a little adjustment? As you shed the old lunar cycle's energy, think about setting intentions for what you wish to achieve in the next one. This phase’s introspective energy supports planning and goal setting, making it a wonderful opportunity to align your equestrian goals with the upcoming new moon's promise of fresh starts.
Enjoy this peaceful phase, and let it prepare you and your horse for the exciting possibilities that lie ahead!
