The phase of the Moon when it is 90 degrees away moon from a line between the Sun and the Earth, measured westward from the Sun, as seen from the north. The angle of illumination creates a half circle of the Moons surface, with the lighted half being on the left side. Also referred to as the third quarter moon.
Depending on your magical intention, you should aim to work with the cycles of the moon to receive the most effective results. The three major aspects of the moon are the Waxing (or New), Full and Waning.

The casting out of the old ways, banishing old habits, the removal of troubles and worries. A waning gibbous moon comes halfway between a full moon and a half moon, and a waxing gibbous moon lies between a half moon and a full moon.
A half moon looks like half a circle. It is sometimes called a quarter moon as this Moon has completed one quarter of an orbit around the Earth from either the new position (First Quarter) or the full (Last Quarter) and one quarter of the moon’s surface is visible from Earth.

The New Moon
The Moon is waxing and growing. This marks the phase of the moon when the light is not visible from Earth, because the side of the moon that is being lit by the sun is not facing us.
This should be a time to plan spells that introduce new beginnings and projects. A new career, house move, job, relationship, any new venture in life.
Waning Moon
The casting out of the old ways, banishing old habits, the removal of troubles and worries. A waning gibbous moon comes halfway between a full moon and a half moon, and a waxing gibbous moon lies between a half moon and a full moon.
The New Moon challenges us to set our intention and plant the seeds that will potentially blossom at the Full Moon. But without taking real action, physically doing something, then nothing will get done and the full moon will yield nothing.
The quarter moon says that it’s time to engage- dont’ just sit there- do something!
If you need a full moon spell, use magick during the “last quarter”.
At the Last Quarter moon, aspire to trim and weed yourself of old growth, both inner and outer. Be alert for intimations of the future.
