As the Third Quarter Moon wanes, it’s a time for reflection, release, and recalibration. This phase invites us to evaluate our progress since the New Moon and to release anything holding us back. Libra’s energy highlights balance, harmony, and fairness, while Scorpio’s influence brings depth, transformation, and emotional courage. Together, these energies encourage us to align our inner world with our external goals, releasing old patterns to make room for profound growth.
This Seed of Life crystal grid is designed to harness these energies, using Lapis Lazuli as the central focus stone to support clarity, wisdom, and introspection during this transitional phase.

Focus stone
Lapis Lazuli, with its deep blue hues and flecks of gold, is perfect for enhancing self-awareness and inner truth. Positioned at the centre, it acts as a guide for introspection, encouraging you to release old emotional baggage while maintaining balance and fairness, aligning perfectly with the Libra-Scorpio transition.
Surrounding stones
Lepidolite, with its calming lavender tones, is known for easing transitions and releasing emotional patterns. Placed in the first layer, it supports Libra’s need for balance while helping to manage Scorpio’s intense transformational energy.
Grounding and protective, Black Tourmaline offers stability as we navigate emotional depths. It aligns with Scorpio’s transformative energy, providing a safe space to confront and release fears while anchoring Libra’s desire for equilibrium.
Intention stone
Rose Quartz, with its gentle pink glow, is placed at the outer points to cultivate self-love and compassion. This stone encourages emotional healing, making it an excellent complement to Scorpio’s transformative energy and Libra’s quest for harmonious relationships.
Complementary stones
- Sodalite enhances logical thinking and intuition, bridging Libra’s rational energy with Scorpio’s intuitive depth.
- Amethyst promotes spiritual growth and protection, harmonising with the transformative energies of this moon phase while offering serenity.
These stones can be interspersed throughout the grid to amplify its energy. Use your intuition to place additional stones where you feel they’re most needed.
Protection stone
Shungite, known for its purifying and shielding properties, is placed at the perimeter of the grid to guard against negative influences. This protection is especially valuable during Scorpio’s intense emotional exploration.
Arranging your crystal grid
- Begin by cleansing your crystals with smoke, sound, or moonlight to clear any previous energies.
- Place the Seed of Life grid pattern in front of you, or visualise it if you’re working intuitively.
- Position the Lapis Lazuli at the centre.
- Add the Lepidolite stones around it in the first layer, forming a ring.
- Place the Black Tourmaline in the second layer for grounding and protection.
- Position the Rose Quartz at the outer points of the grid to hold the intention.
- Interspace the Sodalite and Amethyst throughout the design.
- Finally, arrange Shungite around the outer perimeter to shield the grid.
Activating your crystal grid
To activate your grid, set your intention clearly. Hold your hands over the grid and visualise light connecting each stone, creating a network of energy. Speak or meditate on your intention, focusing on balance, emotional release, and transformation.
Healing and metaphysical benefits
