feeling exxxtra tired this week? it's not just you —blame it on the moon! the lowest energy point of the lunar cycle, the new moon, is just around the corner (peaking tuesday 12/12). during this time in the lunar cycle, the sky is growing darker and darker. with this, it is normal for energy levels to decrease, especially after we reach the last quarter phase (tuesday 12/05). you could feel called to spend more time alone, reflecting rather than initiating
we're kicking off the week with the moon placed in virgo, the "editor" of the zodiac. virgo loooves to process. systems, solutions, and a sense of order. details, details, details. virgo is an earthy, grounded, efficient energy. with this, monday through wednesday morning could be excellent for focusing and getting detail-oriented tasks done
shadow sides of virgo energy include perfectionism and a tendency to criticize. when the moon is placed in this sign, be reasonable with your expectations of yourself and others. celebrate that check off your list! take a break if you need to! remember to have fun too!
wednesday morning at 11:35 am est the moon will enter libra. libra, an air sign, is ruled by venus - the planet of romance, art, beauty, connection. at the heart of libra is a desire for harmony and beauty. libra excels at arranging and getting creative. wednesday through friday consider indulging in activities such as art making, brainstorming, connecting with loved ones, or tending to your space. discussions of fairness and justice could also flow more naturally at this time
the energy of the weekend will shift into scorpio-mode come friday night, at 10:35 pm. scorpio, the fieriest of water signs, can be an intense, deeply emotional energy (this can be a strength or a shadow trait, depending on how it is used!). scorpio is ruled by pluto - the planet of rebirth - and thus, has a desire to constantly evolve; to grow; to transform. paired with the lower energy of the approaching new moon, you could feel called to spend time more time alone, to rest and reflect. reflection-centred activities such as journaling and meditation could feel extra supportive at this time. if it feels aligned, diving deep into the depths of your inner world this weekend could help you prepare for the next phase of the moon cycle, a super spicy new moon in sagittarius
