🌙 This Week's Cosmic Climate

> Moon Phase: Waning Gibbous

> Moon Sign: Cancer ♋️

> Energy Focus: Transformative and intuitive

🔮 Featured Card: The Sun

Imagine waking up to the golden rays of the sun streaming through your window, filling your room with warmth and light. It's a new day, a new beginning, much like the energy of the Sun card.

This week, we embrace the Sun, the 19th card of the Major Arcana, a symbol of joy, success, and radiant vitality.

Picture a young child, full of life and laughter, riding a white horse under the brilliant sun. This scene, often depicted on the Sun card, embodies the essence of pure, unadulterated happiness. The sunflowers in the background turn towards the sun, a reminder of how we, too, can turn towards our own light and growth.

When the Sun appears upright, it heralds a time of celebration and enlightenment. It's a beacon of positivity, urging you to embrace your personal power and share your unique gifts with the world. This card speaks of clarity and confidence, a reminder that no matter the challenges, your inner light can guide you to success and abundance. In practical terms, it's a call to celebrate your achievements, no matter how small, and to approach life with optimism and enthusiasm.

However, if the Sun appears reversed, it might suggest a temporary shadow over your usual brightness. It's a gentle nudge to look within, to address any barriers to your joy and success. Perhaps you're overusing your power, or maybe you're not shining as brightly as you could. The reversed Sun encourages introspection and balance, reminding you to use your light to guide and inspire, not to overshadow or dim.

In daily life, the Sun's lessons are about embracing your radiant self. Whether it's starting a new project, nurturing relationships, or simply enjoying the moment, let the energy of the Sun fill you with vitality and positivity.

Remember, your light is a gift to the world; share it generously.

Astro Overlay

As we embrace the Sun's energy this week, the astrological landscape adds depth and nuance to our journey. On October 14, 2025, the Moon is in Cancer, in a waning gibbous phase, bringing a transformative and intuitive energy to the week.

With the Sun in Virgo, we're encouraged to focus on details and practical steps towards our goals, aligning perfectly with the Sun's message of clarity and success.

Key aspects like the Sun square Jupiter and Moon conjunct Jupiter amplify the Sun's themes of growth and expansion.

This week, you might feel an urge to broaden your horizons, to step into new areas of life with confidence. The Moon sextile Venus and Moon trine Saturn suggest a harmonious balance between emotional needs and practical responsibilities, making it an ideal time to nurture your inner light while grounding your aspirations.

To work with both the Sun's and the planetary energies, focus on setting clear intentions early in the week, especially as the Moon in Cancer enhances your intuition. Midweek, as the Moon conjuncts Jupiter, is a potent time to take bold steps towards your dreams, using the expansive energy to fuel your journey.

By the week's end, with the Moon trine Saturn, reflect on your progress and solidify your plans, ensuring they are built on a stable foundation.

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

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

With love and starlight,
