THE THE WANING CRESCENT MOON:    As the moon approaches the end of its cycle, the Waning Crescent appears as a slender crescent in the predawn sky, heralding the dawn of a new lunar cycle. With its diminishing light, this phase symbolizes release and surrender, inviting us to let go of the old to make way for the new. In Hindu mythology, the Waning Crescent moon was associated with Shiva, the god of destruction and transformation, who danced the cosmic dance of creation and destruction beneath its waning glow. It's a time to release attachments and patterns that no longer serve our highest good, to surrender to the flow of life and trust in the process of renewal and rebirth.
