There’s a really noticeable shift in the energy this week, after the slower, heavier feeling of the last phase, things are beginning to move again. Not in a rushed or overwhelming way, but in that quiet, steady sense of momentum that builds when something is ready to grow.
We begin today in a waxing crescent moon in Taurus, which feels grounding, steady, and quite supportive. It’s the kind of energy that invites you to reconnect with what you actually want, rather than what you think you should be doing. From there, we move into Gemini on Monday, Cancer midweek, and then into Leo by Friday, where things feel brighter, more expressive, and a little more confident.
So this week really is about building something, step by step, in a way that feels aligned rather than forced.
The waxing moon is always a time of increase. It’s where intentions begin to take shape and where we start to move forward again after a period of release.
With Taurus at the start of the week, there’s a strong invitation to ground yourself first. To slow down just enough to ask, what is it I actually want to grow right now?
As we move into Gemini, things begin to open up mentally. Ideas flow more easily, conversations feel lighter, and there’s a natural curiosity that returns. This is a really good time to start speaking things into life, whether that’s journalling, sharing your thoughts, or simply allowing yourself to think a little bigger.
Cancer midweek brings things inward again, but in a softer way. It’s less about overthinking and more about checking in emotionally. Does what you’re building actually feel right for you? Does it feel safe to receive? That emotional alignment is what allows growth to feel sustainable rather than overwhelming.
And then by the end of the week, Leo comes in with that spark. Confidence, creativity, expression. This is where you’re invited to stop holding yourself back quite so much and allow yourself to be seen, even in small ways.
This week carries a beautiful energy for calling things in, especially around confidence, happiness, and prosperity. Not in a “push harder” kind of way, but more in an I’m ready now kind of way.
You don’t need anything complicated for this.
Light a candle, whatever you have to hand, and take a moment to sit with yourself. Hold something that represents your intention, even if it’s just a small object or a piece of paper.
Start by grounding into your body. Take a breath, feel your feet, feel where you are.
Then say your intention out loud, clearly and simply. Something like,
“I am ready to feel more confident in who I am,”
“I welcome opportunities that support my growth and happiness.”
Let yourself feel it for a moment, as if it’s already beginning.
Then as you light your candle, just say quietly,
“I allow this to grow.”
Sit with that for a minute or two, and then carry on with your day. It doesn’t need to be any more complicated than that.
At the start of the week, focus on simple, grounding actions. Tidy a space, cook something nourishing, take care of your body. It helps anchor your intentions into something real.
As we move into Gemini, give yourself permission to explore ideas without overthinking them. Write things down, speak things out loud, let your thoughts move freely rather than trying to control them.
Midweek, when Cancer energy comes in, slow it down slightly. Check in with how you’re feeling. If something feels off, adjust it gently rather than pushing through.
And by the time we reach Leo, allow yourself to step forward a little more. That doesn’t have to mean anything huge. It could be sharing something, wearing something that makes you feel good, or simply letting yourself take up a bit more space than you usually would.
“I trust what I am building. I allow myself to grow steadily and confidently. I am ready to be seen.”
This isn’t a week for rushing or forcing things into place. It’s a week for gentle expansion. For letting things unfold. For taking small steps that actually feel good rather than overwhelming.
You don’t need to have it all figured out, you just need to begin.
Until next wee
With love
