The Moon Series Begins A Sacred Invitation into the Lunar Cycle of January 2026
There’s something powerful about choosing to walk alongside the Moon… not just glance at her beauty once in a while, but to truly let her be a guide, a rhythm, a reflection of your inner tides. That’s exactly what we’re doing here. This isn’t a one-time lunar post… this is a journey. A slow, sacred unfolding. A guided walk through the phases of the Moon, from the first full light to the quiet darkness and all the crescendos and releases in between.
We’re not just tracking the Moon… we’re letting her move us, day by day.
To begin, I want to gently point you toward something I wrote from my heart and my own lived experience with the Moon… my Moonlight Origin Letter… a look back in self-reflection into how this journey began for me. It’s the story of how my own relationship with the Moon was born: in the backyard, under the stars, whispering prayers I didn’t have names for yet. If you’re new here, I lovingly suggest you begin there. You’ll feel the frequency behind these words more clearly after hearing how this path unfolded in my life. You’ll understand why this series exists… and why it’s more than a calendar of moon dates.
It’s a living medicine…
It’s my living medicine…
Maybe it’s the Cancer Moon in me that feels so at home with her, but I see her and feel her daily… she’s a part of me and it is her placement in my astrology that allows my sensitivity to feel her every move…
And that’s exactly how I want you to interact with this series… like medicine.
Come back each day… Return to this space not just to consume information, but to attune. This post right here is your first anchor… Every day, a new layer will be added: the energy of that day’s lunar phase, the emotional tone you may be feeling, reflective prompts to meet yourself, and simple guidance on how to respond (or not respond) to what’s moving in your life. Some days may offer a channeled Angelic message. Other days might include a somatic suggestion, a clearing invocation, a ritual, a card pull, or a sacred mantra. Each offering will be exactly what it needs to be.
My intention for you is not perfection. It’s presence. This is not about keeping up, tracking dates, or doing this “right.” It’s about resonance. You may land here on a hard day and find a single sentence that soothes your nervous system. You might stumble into a portal of clarity when you least expect it. You may scroll through and realize the Moon is mirroring your exact inner moment. However you arrive… I’m so glad you’re here.
And I’m honored to be your guide in this. Let’s walk the Moon’s path together.
You’re Not Drowning Anymore…
So with that being said… let’s begin.
Here’s how this Full Moon in Cancer might be showing up for you.
We’re starting this series in an unusual place… not with a New Moon, but smack in the middle of a Full Moon. And not just any full moon… a Cancer full moon, awash in feeling, memory, and sacred emotions. It’s not the “typical” way to start a moon cycle series, but isn’t that just how Spirit works? Right on time, in the most non-linear way.
We begin here… still dripping from the tides of last year. Still wringing out the remnants of the Year of the Snake… a cycle that demanded deep shedding, soul-skin release, and uncomfortable transformation. I know you felt it. We’ve all been through the squeeze. And if you’re honest… maybe you’re still in it. But on this opening day, there’s a subtle shift in the air… a soft sigh of relief that tells you: the worst is over.
This moon rises in water, but you’re no longer drowning. You’re not being held under water by the universe to see how long you can hold your breath. Thank God that part is over. Now… you realize you can stand. Your feet touch ground. The waves still roll, but you’re not gasping anymore. You’re upright. A little wet, maybe wobbly… but strong. The shore is ahead, and while it’s too shallow to swim, it’s just deep enough to walk.
And that’s the medicine: walk. Carry yourself forward. You’re too big now to be carried by others. And after last year, you don’t need to be. You’ve got this. You’re close enough to see land. So let’s start moving.
This Full Moon offers you one final glance in the cosmic mirror. She's saying: fix your hair. Wipe the salt from your face. Adjust your swim suit. You’ve been taken out of your comfort zone and swept out to sea…. Time to make your way back to dry land… You’ve learned how to swim in chaos, in grief, in growth. You’ve been given every single piece of information you need to make your next right choice. This isn’t about waiting anymore. It’s about walking. Even if you don’t know how long it will take… or where exactly it’s leading… or how it all unfolds… just start.
This is your initiation.
Cancer’s moon runs deep. She lives in the emotional marrow… in the undercurrents of family, safety, belonging, and self-worth. She’s the mother and the mirror. Her waters bring you back to the places inside you that still feel young, tender, or too tired to keep swimming. She doesn’t shame your weariness… she cradles it. But she also urges you to release what you’re still gripping out of survival. The limiting beliefs. The inherited patterns. The roles you’ve outgrown.
This Full Moon is here to say: You’ve made it back from the sea. Now… make your way home.
The Moon's Medicine
The Moon Today
Phase: Full Moon
Sign: Cancer
Exact Time: January 3, 2026 - 2:02 AM PST
Element: Water
Modality: Cardinal
Traditional Name: The Wolf Moon
Spiritual Season: Midwinter Illumination
Action Cycle: Non-action + Illumination ~ not for planting, but for seeing, receiving, and releasing
Full Moon ~ The Illumination
Everything is visible under the Full Moon’s light. The blessings. The truths. The patterns that no longer serve. This is not just a moment of harvest... it’s a sacred mirror. The Full Moon reveals what’s ready to be celebrated, and what’s ready to be released. Emotions rise. Insights drop in.
And something ancient inside you remembers: you are not separate from the cycles. You are the ceremony. Let the light show you what you’ve become. Let the fullness open you.
The Archetypal Thread
Cancer as the Sacred Mother… the Healer, the Nurturer, the Keeper of the Sacred Flame. She is the archetype of safety, emotional memory, and belonging.
Under this Moon, she whispers:
“Come home to yourself. Come back to what matters.”
She is the holy protector of the Inner Child. The architect of emotional boundaries. The reminder that tenderness is strength.
Ritual for the Full Moon in Cancer
Tonight, under the soft, silvery gaze of the Full Moon in Cancer, you are invited into a moment of emotional alchemy. This is a ritual of release and remembrance, of choosing what no longer belongs… and of honoring what is quietly asking to grow.
Begin by sitting in stillness with a small bowl or glass of water beside you, a candle lit nearby, and a piece of paper. Let your breath slow as you drop into your heart.
On the piece of paper, write what you are ready to let go of... the patterns, stories, emotions, or attachments from the year behind you that feel too heavy to carry forward. There’s no need to overthink it. Let your pen move as if your soul is doing the writing. When you're complete, fold the paper gently and hold it to your chest.
Thank it for what it taught you… and when you feel ready, burn it.
As you burn your piece of paper. Speak aloud:
“I release the weight I’ve carried. I keep the light I’ve earned.”
Watch the smoke rise and feel the release in your body... as if the Moon herself is lifting it from your field.
....
Now, hold your water vessel in both hands and speak into it what you are choosing to protect, nourish, and grow this year. These are the seeds of your becoming. The soft truths of your soul that are ready to be witnessed. It might be a dream that’s finally ready to take root, a version of yourself that feels tender but strong, or a part of your voice you’re reclaiming.
Whisper to it like an oracle. Let the water become the container for your future. A sacred witness to what you are calling in. The soft truths of your soul that are ready to be witnessed. It might be a dream that’s finally ready to take root, a version of yourself that feels tender but strong, or a part of your voice you’re reclaiming.
Set the water under the moonlight... outside, or by a window that catches the light. Let it rest overnight and allow the lunar energy to weave with your wishes.
In the morning, return to the water with reverence.
Hold it again, and say softly:
"Thank you for holding my future so gently."
"I trust in what I’ve planted. I trust in what’s growing."
....
When it feels right, offer the water back to the earth... pour it into your garden, at the base of a tree, or into your favorite houseplant. Let the earth drink your dreams. Let this moment anchor your magic into form.
This ritual is now complete.
You have released.
You have chosen.
You have begun again.
Invocation
I stand under this Full Moon, receiving... and reborn.
I call back the parts of me that drifted in the storm.
I anchor into my own power, wisdom, and will.
I am safe to feel. I am safe to see. I am safe to be me.
Amen. A’ho. And so it is..

Affirm: I am safe to release old survival patterns. I no longer need to shrink, perform, or protect what I’ve already outgrown.

Gentle daily Insights & Inquiries
January 4th
The Moonlight Lingers
Your field is still being stretched wide and your soul is processing more than you can name. That’s okay. Full Moons ripple into the next day or two. There’s no rush to “release” everything at once. Let it be a slow exhale. Let what’s ready… rise. You don’t need to understand it all. You just need to be here as it moves through.
Waning Gibbous in Cancer at 28°57’
The Waning Gibbous Moon in late Cancer continues to bathe us in emotional reflection, but now the intensity begins to soften. This is the phase where illumination gives way to integration… the big revelations of the Full Moon are now rippling through the heart, asking to be digested.
Cancer at this final degree invites a deep return to emotional safety, ancestral wisdom, and the inner sanctuary of home… both physical and spiritual. You may feel tender, raw, or nostalgic today… as if you’re standing in the afterglow of something meaningful that has passed through.
This is a sacred moment to sit with what’s been revealed. Let yourself be held in the quiet wisdom of the waning light. The Moon says: “You’ve seen what you needed to see. Now feel what you need to feel.”
You are being changed on the inside... be patient, and gentle with yourself... You may feel the rush to move, but you need your energy for the long haul... baby steps are still steps... think long game...
A Message from Archangel Michael
Archangel Michael has a message for you...
You are worth more than you are giving yourself credit for.
You may find yourself in a position right now where your talents are not being explored or offered in a way that feels good to you. Where you feel small, unseen, or underutilized. And your soul is asking for expansion… for a creative outlet, for room to explore the edges of itself.
Your soul needs to feel that its creative energy is being tended to.
Stillness in this area of your life can lead to feeling lethargic and unmotivated. Sometimes it may even feel a little heavy, or depressive, as though your energy has nowhere to move…
Something within you wants to create….
You don’t have to do the whole thing.
You don’t have to paint a masterpiece or complete a grand project. You only have to begin. One small act of creativity is enough. That creativity may come through art, music, writing… or simply by going outside into nature and noticing the intricate synchronicities of how life moves.
Look at nature...
Nature doesn’t overthink. Nature doesn’t judge. Nature simply creates.
A tree does not worry about being perfect… and yet it is perfect exactly as it is. Creation moves where the energy flows, where it is pulled, where it is called. Sometimes it is shaped by the wind, bent by circumstance… and still, it is beautiful.
A tree that grows in one direction because it had no other choice is still beautiful. It is because of its unique and unusual shape that it is beautiful.
If everything were the same… if everyone looked the same, dressed the same, spoke the same… life would be incredibly boring.
You are so much more than that.
You must allow yourself creative expression. You must allow yourself creative outlets. This is how light moves. This is how energy moves forward. This is how momentum is created.
Everything begins in your thoughts, your feelings… and in your words.
If you are holding a thought of something that wants to be created, there is a reason for it. There is beauty in it. Art is energy in motion. Art is the expression of something within you that does not yet have language but is longing to be seen.
Will you let it be created?
Journal Prompt
What truth has been illuminated for me during this Full Moon... even if I don’t yet know what to do with it? How can I honor that awareness without rushing to fix, solve, or explain it?
Release: Where in my life am I being asked to mother myself differently... with more compassion, strength, softness, or truth?
Affirm: I mother myself with kindness, strength, and fierce devotion. I am held by my own love.
January 5, 2026 ~ Waning Gibbous Moon in Leo
Today the Moon continues her waning journey, now moving through the fiery heart of Leo. After the emotional waters of Cancer, this shift brings warmth, courage, and a gentle invitation to reclaim your inner light. The Waning Gibbous phase asks us to integrate what has already been revealed, and Leo does this through the lens of self‑expression and self‑worth. You may notice a desire to be seen more authentically, or a quiet realization about where you’ve been holding back your creative fire to stay safe or accepted.
It’s a good day for honest reflection about what makes you feel alive. Let the Moon help you release the need for approval and reconnect with joy as a source of strength. Your light doesn’t need permission to shine; it just needs your willingness to let it glow.
Today’s post features a three-card spread pulled from the Sisterhood of the Seers oracle deck. You’re invited to receive this reading however your soul feels called.
You can read the cards as a full spread… offering insight into a situation through the lens of past–present–future, or as a beginning–middle–end progression within a current project, transition, or healing path. Or simply trust your intuition and choose the one card that speaks directly to your heart in this moment.
Let these messages meet you where you are, and offer the guidance you most need today.

The Seer of Healing Card
Card #5
Rest Let It Go, See It Differently
The essential meaning of this card: Moving on, healing, believing in yourself, focusing on well-being, seeing it differently, resting when you need to.
The Seer’s Message:
In the waters of healing all flows spirit and heart are both at ease step into this flow and allow yourself to be carried into the sanctuary of stillness where all is truly well healing requires a complete trust in the fact that things can get better, even when you don't feel like that is true. Healing requires that you arrive open-hearted with all the bits you feel are broken, so that they can be mended back into wholeness.
Through letting go and simultaneously taking a leap of faith, heartache and grief can be transformed. In this state anything can be healed as you are suspended in transcendence... a soulful place of knowing that nothing will within you can truly be lost. Innocence can be restored, trust can be rebuilt, and faith can be reawakened. Your soul knows the way forward and you simply need to let it take the lead.
You deserve to heal from the things that have caused you pain and as a result hold you back... now is the time to focus on well-being. Loss, judgment, separation, and fear are at the roots of most suffering, yet when you focus on connection, love, unity, and faith then you allow transformation to happen. You do not need to do this healing work alone; Reach out and get support from people who love you and experts in their fields. Equally when you release pain and suffering you contribute to well-being of the entire planet seen in this way, all healing then becomes a sacred task. Give yourself this gift of well-being today.
The activation for this card: There is nothing I need to do or say in order for me to allow healing to begin. I allow this to happen right now, and I give myself permission to truly heal from any suffering that I am experiencing.

Infinite possibilities
Card #43
The essential meaning: good things coming, anything is possible, making a wish, “yes”, in depth reflection that can lead to infinite possibilities.
The message:
Those around you will wonder how you make it happen, but deep in your heart you will know that all is because of your unwavering faith in what is possible. The universe responds to dreamers, those who wish for more, who know that more can always be created and explored, and that life is for living.
You are at a beautiful point where anything is possible for you now,... there are infinite possibilities... so which will you call in? If you are asking about a specific situation, this Oracle's response is: why not? Why can't think why can't this “thing” happen for you? Of course it can! Look up at the stars and make a wish. Imagine what a “yes” would feel like and then go ahead and leap when you feel like it's a good idea.
All is created in the ether of the unseen before it materializes in the seen world, and when you receive this card it's time for you to lift your eyes to the horizon and envision and expansive, majestic, infinitely wonderful possibility happening for you.
There are so many pathways to the destination that you are hoping to arrive at, it is simply your job to reflect and focus on which pathway would bring you the greatest joy. If you are asking about a relationship or partnership, then this card is also a fortuitous sign. There is magic here, so use this beautiful energy to move forward joyously.
Meditation for this card: sitting on the edge of a cloud, you look down and see your happiest life. What does it look like and who is with you? Accept it as reality.
3 of 3
Hear with your heart
Card #19
Essential meaning: empathy, the medial path, love is the key, meditation, focusing on unity, good communication skills, right speech.
The message:
No matter whether a divide has appeared within your own heart or if you are witnessing division in the world around you, this card asks you to build a bridge of compassion. Spread hope, forgiveness, and love to everyone involved... including yourself! Be kind to everyone even if they have very different beliefs than you or will not listen to you, because only from a state of internal peace will unity be created. You have the ability to be strong for many.
If you are feeling overwhelmed by the news or because of a personal situation, focus your intention and energy on the situation already being resolved for the highest good of all... which includes you! See yourself being happy, having overcome any suffering, and let your heart do the talking when you participate in the world. Be mindful of where you let your energy enter into and stay away from any situation that invokes harsh judgment either of you or by you... you will be so glad you did! Focus on empathy.
You deserve to feel love in its greatest forms. Share your love and allow yourself to receive it in return. You are worthy and lovable, and there is nothing you need to do in order to earn this love. If you are seeking a deepening of any form of love (romantic, platonic and or familiar) then this is your sign to take a bold leap to deepen this connection. Love is oneness with all that is, love is your true nature, love is a beautiful pathway, and you choose to activate it right now in this moment.
Meditation: see a rainbow circle swirling around your heart with you standing in the center radiating and receiving love.
Spirit’s Message~
There is softness and grace that arrives when we allow the emotional tides to recede without resisting its wisdom…
I’ve heard a quote “Do not waste your suffering”.
There is nothing wasted in suffering unless we turn away from it. Pain carries intelligence, even when it arrives uninvited. When it is met with presence instead of avoidance, it begins to reveal its purpose. Suffering becomes the heat that reshapes the soul… the place where strength is tempered, compassion deepens, and truth clarifies. What breaks us open is often the very thing that teaches us how to live more honestly, more fully, and more awake.
With this…
The Seer of Healing arrives first, whispering that now is the time to let go of the narratives, pains, and patterns that no longer need to lead our story. This card brings us into the inner sanctuary of restoration, where healing is not something we force… it’s something that is allowed. What has been stirred or revealed in recent days is now ready to be blessed and released. The Waning Moon in Cancer holds the sacred bowl… your grief, your weariness, your unspoken ache… and reminds you that you don’t have to carry it alone. You are ready to be mended.
And as you let go, space opens…
Infinite Possibilities rushes in as the second wave… a current of soul potential ready to meet you in your softened, surrendered state. This is the moment where vision returns. Where, after the storm, your eyes lift to the stars, and something stirs again inside you. Maybe you don’t yet know how… but you remember that life is not over. It’s unfolding. You are standing at the edge of what could be. This card invites you to lift your gaze, make the wish, and reimagine the next chapter… not from pressure or urgency, but from joy, wonder, and infinite trust in your own becoming.
The final card, Hear with Your Heart, anchors it all. It calls you inward once more… into presence. Into the practice of listening… without fear or judgment… but with your heart and soul. Can you soften toward yourself? Can you speak gently to the parts of you still learning to trust? Whether this moment is about healing your inner divide or reaching across one in your outer world, this card reminds you: love is the medicine. The more you lead with compassion… especially toward yourself… the more clarity, wholeness, and connection you will invite in. This is how we walk forward: not perfectly, but honestly, and always in rhythm with our own truth.

Waning Gibbous in Leo transitioning into Virgo
Archangel Raziel is your Angelic Guide
The Moon continues her descent in the Waning Gibbous phase, carrying us from the luminous heart of Leo into the grounded refinement of Virgo. This transition is subtle yet significant, as the cosmic energies shift from bold self-expression to humble discernment. In Leo, we were invited to bask in the radiance of our inner light, to celebrate our uniqueness, and to shine fully. Now, as the Moon glides into Virgo’s sacred temple, that same light turns inward… seeking purpose, healing, and integration.
This is a beautiful moment to assess what the Full Moon revealed, through care, precision, and soul-tending. Virgo asks us to become the priestess of our own healing, to tend the altar of our life with devotion and intentionality. What needs mending within? What rituals bring you back to your center? This moon offers medicine for the mind, body, and spiri…reminding us that devotion to the small, sacred details of our healing creates lasting transformation. Let today be a day of quiet clearing, loving discernment, and sacred restoration.
The Angel and the Moon ~ Birthing the Next Step
Something is stirring deep within you…
A birthing…
A creative intention coming into form…
Your Higher Calling is on the horizon…
You can feel it…
You’re preparing for it…
It knows you and you know it.
Call it fate… call it divine guidance… call it what you will, but it’s here. Words… not yet as form, but as a tune or frequency that hums in your bones. Something inside you knows. You feel different… not a whole new person, but your essence is showing itself to you, piece by little piece. And your job is to follow its whispers.
Archangel Raziel is here to show you the way.
He’s heard the thoughts you haven’t said out loud… the ones trying to give form and shape to something sacred. With Virgo on the horizon, this makes perfect sense. This is a time of laying down your foundation… strategic, layered, soul-rooted structure. You're being guided to build something real, and it starts with feeling. Your thoughts planted the seed… often from a place of discomfort or lack, which made you realize what you no longer wanted. That’s how this works… contrast births clarity. But to manifest the new, you must now clear the old. You have to clean up the fear, mental clutter, the old belief systems, and any resistance to leaving the outdated conditioning… and make room for the opposite of what you’ve lived.
Maybe 2025 was that cleanup.
And now? You’re closer than ever.
You can feel it coming… the life you’ve been building in the unseen is ready to land.
Leo brings the light to your pride, your self-belief, your inner roar.
Virgo brings the earth, the plan, the sacred persistence that turns inspiration into devotion.
And Raziel?
He brings the key.
Raziel is one of the greatest guides for this kind of moment. He is the Ancient Scribe and the Keeper of Records, he holds the esoteric and unconscious knowledge you need to finally move forward. His role now is to help you clear the residue of self-doubt, shame, spiritual exhaustion… and all that dense debris… so the runway lights up and the path ahead becomes unmistakably clear. And here’s the thing: you don’t need to know the whole path. You just need the next right step. When you’re walking with Spirit, that’s all that’s ever required.
But we forget that. We try to control. We try to out-think it. And in doing so, we sometimes block the very thing we’re praying for.
Raziel asks you to trust what you’re building… even if it’s strange, nonlinear, or too slow for your taste. Especially if it’s strange. Some of the moves you’re being asked to make right now won’t make sense until you look back in hindsight. But when you do? You’ll see a masterpiece… one that you could never have planned with logic alone.
And so today, the Angel and the Moon walk together.
Raziel illuminates your next spiritual brick, your soul’s scaffolding, your sacred “yes.”
The Virgo Moon begins to build it.
You don’t need to see the whole vision to take the next sacred step.
You only need to feel its frequency…
And begin.
If today's message with Archangel Raziel stirred something deep within you, I invite you to dive even deeper into his essence. I wrote a full channeled teaching on Raziel for my Whispers from the Angelic Realms series, filled with rich wisdom, soul memory, and spiritual activation.
You can read the full blog here: Archangel Raziel. Let his presence unlock what your soul came here to remember.

Waning Gibbous in Virgo
As the Moon wanes further into her Gibbous phase, she continues her descent inward, in the sign of Virgo, she offers us a clarifying lantern in the dim light of integration. Virgo's medicine is sacred refinement: it beckons us to tend to the details… intentionally, through conscious care and thoughtful awareness… cautious not to get hung up in perfectionism.
After the heart-centered illumination of Leo, this Virgo Moon brings healing energy to the systems, rituals, and small but powerful acts that keep us aligned with our truth. It's a day to simplify, to soften into structure, and to look closely at what needs your presence… not your judgment. You are precisely where you need to be.
This Virgo Moon gently asks:
What wants to be organized within me?
What part of my process needs compassionate attention, or grounded follow-through?
In the wake of recent insight or soul whisperings, Virgo helps you sift through what stays, what goes, and what is ready to take form. It’s a beautiful day to edit, rearrange, tend to your body temple, or devote yourself to a small, intentional ritual act that brings order to the sacred chaos of becoming. Under her waning light, you are not meant to rush… only to notice, nurture, and allow clarity to rise like a blessing in your hands.
“The Sacred Refinement”
There’s a moment in every soul path when the vision becomes a little clearer, and the work begins.
Yesterday, you touched the thread of your soul’s deeper intention. Maybe it was a whisper. Maybe it was a full-body knowing. Maybe it came through your journal, your dream, or a sudden flash of awareness... However it arrived, something has landed… and Virgo now steps in to help you tend it. You’re not being asked to do everything all at once, or to have it all planned out… only to refine what is already forming.
To meet the sacred with your presence.
To make space for it.
To walk beside it.
The Virgo moon doesn’t care about perfection. Please don’t get caught in that spiral. it will only cause added stress that is not necessary… it does however care about alignment. Structure. Sustainability. She asks, “What do you need to clear, define, or devote to so this vision can live?” You’ve been preparing inwardly… healing, calling your spirit back into your body.
But now, with this shift in the Moon, the sacred midwife inside you begins sorting the altar: What stays? What goes? What is asking for a system, a rhythm, a sacred yes? If Leo gave you the courage to believe in yourself, Virgo helps you translate that belief into form.
Today, I invite you into a moment of sacred refinement. Light a candle. Breathe deeply. Come to your journal and ask yourself:
Journal Prompt 1:
What in my life is ready to be restructured, tended to, or simplified so my soul’s calling can take root?
Affirmation: I honor my inner vision by shaping a life that supports it. I release what no longer fits the future I’m building.
Journal Prompt 2:
What daily rituals or systems would help anchor the version of me that is already becoming?
Affirmation: I am devoted to the details that serve my highest alignment. Every small step is an act of remembrance.
You don’t have to do everything today. You only have to begin again. Tidy your space. Write down the vision. Bless the process. Make the list. Clear the drawer… Virgo will meet you there.
This is the energy of sacred stewardship.
This is how we make Spirit real.
And as you walk forward, remember: this dream isn’t a random spark… it’s the frequency of your future self asking to be felt now.

Waning Gibbous in Virgo:
The Waning Gibbous Moon lingers in Virgo today, continuing her sacred descent with precision and purpose. There’s a quiet feel in the atmosphere… a stillness that can only be found in the darker days of winter… it’s deliberate, like the sound of pages turning in a book, being written by your own soul. Virgo’s energy is clarifying, discerning, and deeply devotional when honored consciously. As the Moon continues to wane, we’re reminded that integration is an act of healing, and refinement is a form of reverence. Today is less about doing and more about aligning. Let simplicity be sacred. Let order become intentional prayer.
Today is about nurturing with consistency and presence. Virgo supports the steady tending of what's been revealed, through lists, systems, or simply showing up with care. Small acts done with great love matter now. This is a beautiful day to reconnect with your daily rhythms, nourish your body with intention, and honor your inner voice with quiet devotion. Let your actions reflect your inner knowing. Let your energy speak before your words. Let today be a prayer of alignment.
INTUITIVE AWARENESS
As the Virgo Moon continues her sacred refinement. Before we build, before we act, we must listen. Virgo teaches us that the subtle details often whisper the loudest truths, if only we slow down enough to hear them. This is an invitation to attune to your inner senses, to clear the static, and to reconnect with the sacred knowing already alive within you. Let this next practice be a gentle doorway back to yourself, a moment of quiet magic where your intuition can rise with clarity. Trust what comes. You are learning the language of your own soul.
INTUITIVE AWARENESS EXERCISE
A sacred moment of inner connection
Step 1:Find a quiet space where your body feels supported, either seated or lying down. Let your hands rest softly, your shoulders loosen, and your face soften. Close your eyes, or soften your gaze toward the earth.
Step 2:
Before you fully settle in, take a moment to set a clear, loving intention for what you are ready to receive. It could be a question, a feeling you wish to embody, or a simple request for clarity. Let your intention anchor the space you're about to enter. Speak it softly or hold it in your heart… and then let go.
The energy is listening.
Step 3:
Take a slow, deep breath in through your nose… and exhale out through your mouth. Repeat this breath 2–3 times. Let your exhales be longer than your inhales. With each breath, allow your body to melt a little deeper into the present moment.
Step 4:
Imagine your thoughts rising gently above your head… like clouds, they drift upward and out. You don’t have to hold or follow them. Let them pass. Trust that your mind doesn’t need to figure anything out right now.
Step 5:
Bring your awareness into your body. Soften your jaw…. your belly... your body. Feel your feet or your seat rooted to the earth. Tune in to the rhythm of your breathing… notice its natural pace. Let the sound and sensation of your breath soothe your nervous system.
Step 6:
Gently say aloud or in your heart: “I call upon my highest self, my guides, and the angelic realms to bring through a message that serves my soul’s evolution.”
Let this invitation be enough. There’s nothing to “do” beyond this moment… simply allow the presence of support to surround you.
Step 7:
Open your heart to receive. Maybe you feel a word, an image, a color, a memory… or perhaps just a soft stillness. Don’t force clarity… trust that whatever you need will rise, even if it’s quiet at first. Just be with what is… even if it’s just the feeling of peace. Your intuition speaks in a language only you can hear. This is the beginning of remembering.
Notice what arises first:
Is it a word?
A symbol?
A color or image?
A physical sensation in the body?
A memory?
A sense of knowing, like a whisper between thoughts?
Write down what came through without judging it. Don’t analyze. Let it be raw. Let it be a beginning. This is how intuition speaks… in fragments, in feeling, in sparks.
JOURNAL PROMPT 1
“What came through during the exercise? How does it want to guide me right now?”
Let yourself be surprised. Even if it was a single word… explore it. Let it open a doorway.
Affirmation: “Even when I don’t fully understand the signs, I still trust the divine timing of my inner knowing.”
JOURNAL PROMPT 2
“Where in my life have I doubted my intuition before… and what would it feel like to trust it now?”
Be honest. This is where you reclaim power.
Affirmation: “Even when fear asks me to stay small, I still choose the voice that rises from my soul.”
Let this be the day you remember:
You are not just here to receive guidance…
You are the oracle, the receiver, the open channel.
The Moon will keep pulling you deeper… but the voice you’re learning to trust?It was always yours.
JANUARY 9, 2026
Integration Day
This is a day for integration. No forcing… Just being. The Moon is still waning, inviting you to come inward… to tend to the new roots beginning to form inside you. Go slow. Let your choices match your nervous system. What would it feel like to live as someone who knows they are safe to change? Practice that today. Gently. Sweetly. Fully.
Waning Gibbous in Libra at 6°12’
The Moon moves into Libra today, drawing our awareness toward balance, beauty, and emotional reciprocity. In this waning phase, the Full Moon's lessons are still moving… but now softened, refined through reflection. Libra invites you to recalibrate your inner scales, especially in your relationships. What dynamics feel mutual, and where have you overextended? There is grace in recognizing where harmony has been forced, and where authenticity longs to take its place. This is a beautiful day for making peace with others… with the past, and with the parts of yourself still learning how to belong.
The Eve of the Last Quarter Moon
Tonight is also the eve of the Last Quarter Moon, the sacred threshold where illumination shifts into conscious release. As we prepare for the next Main Moon Series blog post, this moment offers a quiet invitation to review. What clarity has come since the Full Moon? What insights are ready to be integrated, and what patterns are ready to be let go of with love? Let tonight be a pause, a breath, a space of gentle recalibration. Tomorrow, we’ll step into the next phase together… deeper, wiser, and more attuned to what is truly ready to change.
Let your choices reflect the truth of who you're becoming.
Ask yourself:
Where am I forcing harmony?
What insight needs to be integrated?
What feels safe to embody right now?
Let beauty be your guide.
Let simplicity be your prayer.
Let today be the bridge between what was and what’s becoming.
Stay tuned… tomorrow we meet the Last Quarter Moon.
And... we start a new Blog post.
We’ll be here every day, downloading more guidance…
We’re just beginning…
Tomorrow, we enter the waning light of the cycle. The Full Moon’s glow lingers, but her pull starts to ebb. We’ll explore what she’s calling you to release, gently and with grace.
There will be a new post, a new thread, a new reflection.
So come on back...
There will be something waiting here for you.
