The Third Quarter Moon invites reflection and letting go, a perfect time to release what no longer serves you and prepare for the fresh energy of the New Moon. With the fiery influence of Leo merging into the practical, detail-oriented energy of Virgo, this phase supports balancing creativity with grounded focus. Leo’s regal confidence encourages you to shine, while Virgo helps you align with your higher purpose through thoughtful action. This grid is designed to harmonise the fiery passion of Leo with Virgo’s earthy practicality, developing clarity, empowerment, and preparation for the next lunar cycle.
We’re using a Seed of Life grid to symbolise growth, transformation, and interconnectedness. Let’s explore the crystal placements!

Focus stone: Dragon’s Blood Jasper
Placed at the centre of the grid, Dragon’s Blood Jasper channels both the courage and vitality of Leo and the grounded energy of Virgo. This stone helps invigorate your spirit while keeping you steady, promoting self-discovery and resilience as you reflect and release.
Surrounding stones
Encircling the centre, Fire Agate amplifies Leo’s warmth and passion. Known for its protective and grounding qualities, Fire Agate also ignites creativity and motivation, helping you take action on the insights gained during this moon phase.
The second layer of stones features Prasiolite, which connects with Virgo’s energy of healing and renewal. This gentle yet powerful crystal encourages emotional clarity and a heart-centred approach, perfect for releasing old patterns and embracing transformation.
Intention stone
Placed on the outer points of the grid, Citrine embodies confidence, abundance, and manifestation. As Leo’s influence lingers, Citrine enhances your ability to envision new possibilities while Virgo’s precision ensures those intentions are rooted in practical steps.
Complementary stones
Interspersed throughout the grid, Blue Lace Agate offers calming energy to soothe Leo’s fiery spirit and balance Virgo’s analytical tendencies. Meanwhile, Peridot supports emotional healing and inspires a fresh perspective, helping you let go of negativity and embrace self-worth.
Feel free to intuitively add more stones if desired—this is your personal grid! I was drawn towards Aquamarine and Lapis Lazuli.
Protection stone
Framing the perimeter, Snowflake Obsidian ensures energetic protection and grounding. Its connection to both light and shadow helps you embrace the lessons of the past while maintaining balance as you move forward.
Arranging your crystal grid
- Start by cleansing your crystals with smoke, sound, or intention.
- Lay out your Seed of Life grid.
- Place the focus stone at the centre, followed by each layer of stones. Add the intention stones to the outer points and complementary stones wherever you feel drawn.
- Finally, surround the grid with the protection stones to seal the energy.
Activating your crystal grid
Once the stones are placed, activate the grid by connecting them energetically. Using your finger or a wand, trace lines between the crystals, visualising light flowing between them to create a web of energy. Set your intention aloud or silently, aligning your mind and spirit with the grid’s purpose.
