This week is a true threshold. We begin in the final exhale of the lunar cycle and cross, midweek, into a fresh beginning. The Moon thins, disappears, and then slowly returns—asking us to honor both the ending and the emergence.
Early in the week, energy is low and inward-facing. By Tuesday’s New Moon, something quietly resets. Not with fireworks, but with relief. The second half of the week is about fragile momentum—new intentions that need patience, care, and protection as they take root.
We’re still in Aquarius season, which keeps the future humming softly in the background. But this week reminds us that real change doesn’t always announce itself. Sometimes it begins as a subtle shift in how you listen to yourself.
Cosmic Toolkit
Moon Phase: Waning Crescent → New Moon (Tuesday) → Waxing Crescent
The first half of the week supports release, rest, and closure. Tuesday’s New Moon marks a clean slate. The days after are about tending what’s newly planted—without rushing or demanding results.
Herb of the Week: Lavender
Calming, grounding, and supportive of nervous-system repair. Lavender is especially helpful during transitions, when endings and beginnings overlap.
Crystal Ally: Moonstone
A companion for liminal space. Moonstone supports intuition, emotional attunement, and trust in slow, cyclical growth.
Elemental Focus: Water → Air
Water early in the week helps you release through feeling. Air later brings clarity, perspective, and gentle forward motion. Let emotion move first; understanding will follow.
A Closer Look at the Week Ahead
Sunday, February 15
The week opens quietly. Energy is low, and motivation may feel thin. Instead of pushing, notice what you’re naturally disengaging from. That retreat is information.
Ask yourself: What am I done forcing?
Monday, February 16
This is deep closing energy. Old emotions, habits, or narratives may surface one last time—not to be rehashed, but to be released. Let things end without ceremony if that feels truest.
Rest is productive today.
Tuesday, February 17 — New Moon: The Reset
The New Moon arrives, bringing a clean emotional slate. This is a seed moment—quiet, potent, and deeply personal. You don’t need to declare intentions publicly. In fact, keeping them close may help them grow.
Good questions for today:
-
What do I want to feel more of in the coming weeks?
-
What am I ready to begin differently?
Choose one simple intention. Write it down. Then let it be.
Wednesday, February 18
The Moon begins to wax, and energy returns slowly. You may feel a flicker of curiosity or openness. Don’t overcommit—just notice what draws you forward.
This is a day for listening more than acting.
Thursday, February 19
Gentle momentum builds. Conversations, ideas, or opportunities may surface that feel aligned with Tuesday’s intention. Treat everything as tentative. This is still seedling energy.
Protect your time and attention.
Friday, February 20
Confidence grows—not loud, but steady. You may feel ready to take one small step toward what you set in motion earlier in the week. Keep it modest and doable.
Progress today should feel supportive, not demanding.
Saturday, February 21
The week closes with quiet optimism. Something new feels possible, even if you can’t yet name it clearly. Trust that feeling. The work now is consistency, not urgency.
End the week by creating space—physically or emotionally—for what you’re growing.
Relational Spellwork
Release to Receive
Write down one pattern, expectation, or role you released earlier this week. Under it, write what you’re making space for instead. You don’t need a full plan—just acknowledgment.
New Moon Seed Practice (Best on Tuesday)
Place a hand on your heart and speak one intention aloud, softly. Imagine it rooting gently. Return to it over the next two weeks with patience rather than pressure.
Waxing Crescent Care
For the rest of the week, ask before saying yes: Does this support what I just began?
Let alignment, not obligation, guide your choices.
As this week carries you from ending to beginning, remember: you don’t have to rush the new. What’s real will grow at its own pace. Let the Moon teach you how to trust that rhythm—release first, then begin.
