Today the Moon moves through Virgo, which colours the mood in the background. Things feel grounded today; the ordinary tasks are oddly calming. It is a New Moon, the quiet reset of the cycle. Plant one small intention today, even privately.
Optimism can tip into overdoing it today. Dream big, but check the fine print before you leap.
It is a Thursday, ruled by Jupiter, so lean toward the generous, hopeful option.
