Waning moon
After a full moon, the moon begins to wane, shrinking and disapearing. Untill it becomes a dark moon. Time to let go off the fullness of the moon. This is the time to do banishing, binding and getting rid of situations or people you want to let go. Remove the bad / negative energies. Also it is a time to let go of bad habbits and thought processes that are not making you happy. It is a time of cleanings, purifying and preparing for new beginnings.
