Published by: AZ360 Moon


🌟 Energetic Theme of the Week

This week begins just after the Last Quarter Moon, a natural time for clearing, releasing, and inner realignment. As the Moon fades further into the Waning Crescent, we cross into the deepest yin of the lunar cycle — the sacred pause before rebirth.

Now is not the time to push. It’s the time to prepare. Think quiet closures, intuitive listening, and surrendering what no longer needs to follow you into the new lunar cycle.

🌘 The wisdom isn’t in the plan — it’s in the pause.


🔮 Moon Phase Insights

The Moon flows through Scorpio, Sagittarius, and Capricorn, guiding us through emotional shedding, visionary detachment, and grounded energetic reset. Expect some spiritual intensity early in the week, followed by a release into simplicity and long-term focus as the Capricorn New Moon approaches on Saturday.

This is the week of the spiritual compost pile: what are you ready to return to the soil?
