The Third Quarter Moon in Capricorn is the no-nonsense, get-your-act-together phase of the lunar cycle. This is the time for refining, releasing, and making smart choices. Capricorn, ruled by disciplined Saturn, doesn’t do half-measures. It asks: What’s working? What’s not? What needs to go so you can move forward? This Moon isn’t about wishful thinking—it’s about realigning with what truly matters and cutting out what doesn’t.
Capricorn energy is grounded, ambitious, and built to last, making this the perfect time to clear out distractions, focus on long-term goals, and make solid progress. This grid is designed to support resilience, discipline, and transformation, helping you clear the path ahead with confidence. We’re using the Flower of Life pattern, symbolising both completion and new beginnings—because every time you release something, you make space for something better.
Focus stone
Garnet takes centre stage, bringing strength, determination, and a steady, unshakable energy. Capricorn is all about the long game, and Garnet is the perfect match—fueling motivation while keeping you grounded. It’s a power stone for persistence, helping you push through challenges without burning out. If you’ve been feeling stuck or lacking momentum, Garnet gives you that let’s go energy without the chaos.
Surrounding stones
Black Tourmaline and Fluorite create the two surrounding layers, making sure your mind stays sharp and your energy stays strong.
Black Tourmaline is a non-negotiable for Capricorn’s structured, goal-oriented approach. It clears out negativity, self-doubt, and external distractions, making sure you stay focused and protected from anything that could throw you off course.
Fluorite brings the mental clarity to match Capricorn’s practical nature. It cuts through confusion and over-analysis, helping you make decisions that are smart, aligned, and effective. This is the stone for sorting through the noise, getting organised, and making sense of everything before taking action.
Intention stone
Healer’s Quartz sits at the outer points, bringing in renewal, self-reflection, and a sense of purpose. This stone is here to support you in processing the lessons of the past lunar cycle, helping you integrate what you’ve learned while releasing anything that’s weighing you down. It’s a reminder that clearing out old energy isn’t just about letting go—it’s about making space for something better.
Complementary stones
Onyx, Peridot, and Mookaite are interspersed throughout the grid, reinforcing strength, resilience, and adaptability.
Onyx keeps your energy steady, grounded, and disciplined, making sure that you stay committed to what truly matters. It’s brilliant for following through on intentions, helping you break bad habits and build stronger foundations.
Peridot brings a fresh perspective and a lightness of energy, ensuring that Capricorn’s serious, get-things-done mindset doesn’t turn into rigid over-control. It encourages you to let go of what’s really not serving you, including self-doubt and limiting beliefs.
Mookaite is all about adaptability and confidence. Capricorn energy is known for its determination, but Mookaite makes sure that determination doesn’t become stubbornness. It encourages flexibility and resilience, helping you adjust your plans without losing sight of the bigger picture.
Feel free to add any other stones that call to you—this is your grid, and your intuition knows best.
Protection stone
Obsidian sits at the outer edge, ensuring that any old patterns, external negativity, or emotional baggage that surfaces during this release phase doesn’t linger. Capricorn’s approach to transformation is practical and unapologetic—if something needs to go, Obsidian makes sure it’s cleared out completely, with no energetic residue left behind.
Arranging your crystal grid
Start with Garnet in the centre, anchoring the energy of persistence and strength. Surround it with Black Tourmaline, followed by a second layer of Fluorite, creating a balance between protection and clarity. Healer’s Quartz goes at the outermost points, amplifying renewal and reflection. Arrange Onyx, Peridot, and Mookaite throughout the grid to enhance focus, adaptability, and transformation. Finally, place Obsidian at the edges to create a strong, protective boundary.
Activating your crystal grid
Before activating, take a moment to get really clear on what you’re done with. What needs to be released? What’s standing in your way? What’s no longer aligned with where you’re headed? Breathe deeply, holding that awareness, then visualise a strong, grounding energy flowing through the grid, connecting each stone. You can use a wand, your finger, or simply your intention to trace the Flower of Life pattern, linking the stones together.
Healing and metaphysical benefits
This grid is here to help you clear distractions, focus your energy, and move forward with strength and confidence.
