This week hums with a quiet magic—the kind that happens when things fall away. The Moon begins in her Last Quarter phase, moving into a waning crescent by week’s end. We’re deep in the letting-go zone, where integration matters more than initiation.
Still in Libra season, the skies support balance, harmony, and beauty—but the beauty this week is subtle. It’s the elegance of clearing a drawer. The grace of silence. The art of knowing what to release so that what wants to grow next has space to root.
The Moon moves through Cancer → Leo → Virgo, softening us, then briefly reigniting us, before returning us to refinement. This is a beautiful week for ritual, repair, and preparing for the New Moon in Libra next week.

Relational Spellwork for the Week
-
Cancer Release Ritual: Write down what you’ve been holding emotionally. Place it in water overnight, then pour it into the earth with care.
-
Leo Heart Check: Say aloud: “My light does not need applause.” Then create something joyful—just for you.
-
Virgo Threshold Work: Choose one corner of your life to simplify. Not to perfect it—but to let it breathe.
This week is less about doing and more about allowing. The waning Moon doesn’t rush. She dissolves, she rests, she readies. Let this week be your own quiet unfurling.
