We’re moving forward—gently, steadily, and with more clarity than we had a week ago. Last weekend’s New Moon in Virgo (August 23) offered a clean slate, a sacred reset. Now, the Moon waxes, and our intentions begin to stretch toward visibility. This week is not about speed—it’s about devotion. Daily choices. Subtle shifts. Trusting the slow unfold.
Virgo season is in full bloom now. Mercury is still retrograde in Leo, inviting us to express carefully, revise joyfully, and release performance in favor of presence. Keep it simple. Let the Earth lead.

A Closer Look at This Week’s Mooncast
Sunday, August 24
The Moon in Virgo carries us into this week with quiet purpose. A great day for tending to your space, organizing your calendar, or doing the small things you’ve been postponing. Start simply.
Monday, August 25
Moon enters Libra. You may feel a desire for balance in your relationships. This is a good day to check in with someone you’ve felt out of sync with—or to make beauty part of your rhythm.
Tuesday, August 26
Libra Moon continues. The urge to harmonize may compete with Mercury’s retrograde shadows. If misunderstandings arise, seek clarity, not agreement. Let slowness be an act of love.
Wednesday, August 27
The Moon moves into Scorpio, inviting depth and intensity. You may feel more private or emotionally focused. This is a day for shadow work, gentle boundaries, and honesty with yourself.
Thursday, August 28
Scorpio Moon continues. Trust what is surfacing. You don’t need to analyze everything—just listen. Pay attention to intuitive nudges and to where you’re holding back out of fear.
Friday, August 29
The Moon moves into Sagittarius. After a few intense days, this energy brings renewal and expansion. A good day to reconnect with optimism—but let it be grounded optimism, rooted in what you’ve been building.
Saturday, August 30
Sagittarius Moon continues. Take one small risk that aligns with your vision. This isn’t about bold leaps—it’s about confident steps. Let joy be an act of faith.
Relational Spellwork for the Week
Create a tiny ritual around a new habit or practice you're sharing with someone—a shared tea, walk, check-in, or silence.
Let yourself say something you've been rehearsing, even if imperfectly. Trust that your relationships can hold nuance.
Reflect on one fear you’ve inherited about closeness. Write it down. Then write the truth you want to root in instead.
Choose one relationship to nourish through a small act—food, a text, a poem, or simply your presence.
This is a week of integration. Your intentions are still seedlings—handle them with care. Let every breath, every step, every act of service become part of your unfolding prayer.
