The Third Quarter Moon marks a time for reflection and letting go, as we prepare for the renewal of the upcoming lunar cycle. With the Moon transitioning from detail-oriented Virgo into harmonious Libra at 7.07pm GMT, this is a powerful moment to balance productivity with peace. Virgo’s analytical energy helps us tidy up loose ends, while Libra inspires us to restore balance and harmony in our relationships and surroundings.
For this grid, we’ll use the Seed of Life layout to channel the energies of clarity, release, and equilibrium. Kyanite, a stone of alignment and insight, will take centre stage as our guiding focus.

Focus stone
Kyanite, known for its ability to align all chakras and balance energy, is the perfect centrepiece for this phase. It enhances clarity and focus (Virgo’s strength) while promoting harmony and connection (Libra’s gift). Kyanite also supports emotional release, helping to clear away lingering doubts or stress.
Surrounding stones
Placed in the first ring, Fluorite brings mental clarity and organisation, amplifying Virgo’s methodical energy. It helps you focus on tying up loose ends with a clear mind, preparing for the transition into Libra’s more relaxed and social energy.
The second layer features Lepidolite, a stone of calm and emotional balance. Its gentle, soothing energy is ideal for easing any tension carried over from Virgo’s perfectionist tendencies, allowing you to embrace Libra’s peaceful flow with ease.
Intention stone
Rose Quartz, placed on the outer points of the grid, represents unconditional love and harmony. It supports the Libra energy of building balanced, heart-centred relationships while helping you release any self-critical or judgmental thoughts associated with Virgo’s influence.
Complementary stones
- Green Aventurine encourages renewal and optimism, aligning with the reflective energy of the Third Quarter Moon. Its grounding properties also connect with Virgo’s earthy traits.
- Blue Lace Agate supports clear and compassionate communication, fostering Libra’s drive for understanding and diplomacy.
Feel free to incorporate any additional stones that resonate with your energy during this transition.
Protection stone
Encircling the grid, Black Obsidian provides a grounding, protective shield. It helps you release anything that no longer serves you, creating a safe space for reflection and healing as the Moon wanes.
Arranging and activating your crystal grid
Begin with Kyanite in the centre. Surround it with Fluorite in the first ring and Lepidolite in the second. Place Rose Quartz on the outer points, interspersed with Green Aventurine and Blue Lace Agate. Finish by placing Black Obsidian stones around the perimeter for protection.
Use a quartz or selenite wand, point or your finger to trace the Seed of Life pattern, starting from the centre and working outward. As you do, set your intention: “I release what no longer serves me, restoring balance and harmony within and around me.”
Healing and metaphysical benefits
This grid supports the throat and heart chakras, enhancing clear communication and emotional balance. Kyanite aligns your energy, helping you transition smoothly between Virgo’s focus and Libra’s harmony. Fluorite and Lepidolite encourage clarity and calm, while Rose Quartz fosters love and compassion. Black Obsidian ensures a protective and grounded space for reflection.
Place your grid in a peaceful area and let its energies guide you through this transitional moon phase with grace and intention.
