Recap of Last Week
Last week, we navigated through the waxing phases of the Moon, which are all about building momentum and energy. Here’s a quick look at what we experienced:
- October 10-11: First Quarter and Waxing Gibbous in Capricorn
The earthy energy of Capricorn helped us stay focused on our goals. You may have felt a strong desire to take disciplined, practical steps forward, especially in areas related to career, long-term projects, or personal ambitions.
- October 12: Waxing Gibbous in Aquarius
Aquarius brought a refreshing change, encouraging us to think outside the box and approach our goals with innovation. This may have been a time to break free from traditional methods and embrace your uniqueness.
- October 13: Waxing Gibbous in Pisces
The Pisces Moon softened the energy, bringing a wave of introspection and heightened intuition. This was a great moment to tune into your emotions and reflect on your deeper desires.
- October 15: Waxing Gibbous in Aries
The Aries energy kicked up our drive and motivation. You may have felt an urge to push through obstacles, take bold actions, and move closer to your goals with confidence and courage.
Personal Reflection Prompt
Take a moment to reflect on your experiences from last week. Ask yourself:
- What has shifted for you since the First Quarter in Capricorn?
- How did the energies of Aquarius, Pisces, and Aries influence your journey?
- What new habits or insights have you gained, and how can you honor them as you move into this week?
Energetic Theme for the Week: Renewal
This week’s energetic theme is renewal.
As we journey through the Full Moon in Aries and the waning phases in Taurus, Gemini, and Cancer, we are called to let go of what no longer serves to make space for new growth. Just as the Full Moon shines light on what we’ve achieved, the waning gibbous phases encourage us to reflect and release anything that may be holding us back.
How can you use this week to clear the way for fresh energy and new opportunities?

Overview of the Upcoming Week

Aries pushes you to step into your power with boldness, encouraging you to release fear and doubt. Think about what you’ve achieved and honor your bravery in taking risks and moving forward.
- October 18: Waning Gibbous in Taurus
