🌙 This Week's Cosmic Climate

> Moon Phase: Waning Gibbous 🌕

> Moon Sign: Virgo ♍️

> Energy Focus: Clearing space and igniting new inspiration

Imagine standing at the edge of a quiet forest path at dawn.

The night has gently lifted, and right in front of you, glowing softly at the entrance, is a single wand of light, humming with possibility.

That’s the energy of the Ace of Wands.

Upright, this card signals clarity after stillness. It shows up when the inner spark, that intuitive urging to create, to explore, to begin, finally feels strong enough to step into. It’s not frantic excitement. Its purpose aligned with passion.

This is the moment when you notice the flame inside you again, fresh, clear, confident, and ready to grow.

Reversed, the Ace of Wands isn’t lost. It’s unfocused. The flame may feel blocked or unsure, not because inspiration left, but because it hasn’t been fully tended. You might sense something ready to start, yet something inside still needs refinement.

This card invites you to do more than want a beginning.

To feel it.

Feel the spark. Notice it.

Nurture the light, and then let it guide your first step.

Astro Overlay

This week’s Waning Gibbous Moon in Virgo invites a blend of release and refinement. The Moon’s diminishing light encourages letting go of what’s no longer essential, not with pressure, but with clarity. Virgo’s analytical, detail-loving energy asks: What stands? What falls away? What’s ready for the next phase of creation?

The Sun and other inner planets continue to solidify structure and long-term planning for the new year. This creates a supportive backdrop for inspiration that isn’t fleeting; it’s thoughtful and sustainable.

The Ace of Wands is a spark with direction. You’re not chasing excitement. You’re choosing where to plant your flame so it can grow into something real.

This week, notice where your heart lifts slightly.

That’s your inner fire saying, yes..

Take a moment this week to connect with the energy of the Ace of Wands.

Let this card guide your journey and illuminate your path forward.

With love and starlight,
