Today the Moon moves through Virgo, which colours the mood in the background. It is a solid, down-to-earth kind of day, made for real-world results over big feelings. It is a New Moon, the quiet reset of the cycle. Plant one small intention today, even privately.
There is a grounding pressure now. Turn it into structure and it works for you rather than against you.
The door is a little more open today, so say yes to the bigger option and aim higher than feels safe.
