This week invites you to move through three emotional landscapes:
Tend → Reflect → Release
If you're ready let's begin. Sun = Your outer expression: What you’re here to embody and share with the world.It shows how you grow, lead, and become more of who you are.
Moon = Your inner experience: Your emotions, instincts, and felt sense of life.It helps you feel, reflect, and stay connected to your truth.
Sun in Cancer — Water Element
Dates: All week
Symbol: The Crab
Element: Water
Theme: Emotional truth, memory, inner sanctuary
The Cancer Sun draws your energy inward. It brings a need to feel safe, to connect with what’s familiar, and to soften the protective shell. The Crab reminds us: not all growth looks like expansion. Some of it looks like coming home.
This is not a time to push or explain. It’s a time to feel, to restore, and to remember what truly matters.
If you notice: a desire to withdraw, heightened sensitivity, or longing for softness, you are moving with the season.
Strengths:
Intuitive, nurturing, protective
Deep connection to family, home, and memory
Emotionally wise, empathic, and grounded in feeling
Instabilities:
Over-caretaking, emotional overwhelm
Fear of rejection or exposure
Clinging to the past
Running away / avoiding
Invitation: Let tenderness be a strength.
Reflection Questions:
What does safety feel like in my body right now?
Where am I offering care to others that I’m not offering to myself?
What memories are surfacing and what are they here to teach me?
Where in my life am I being invited to soften instead of push?
Moon in Virgo — Monday to Friday
Element: Earth | Symbol: The Maiden
The week begins with Virgo’s grounded presence. This is a time for clearing space, internally and externally.
The Maiden walks with quiet devotion. She teaches that healing doesn’t need to be dramatic, it can live in the small, the steady, the sacred ordinary.
Themes
Daily rhythms as medicine
Tending to your body, space, and nervous system
Clarity through simplification
Embodied integrity and gentle refinement
Listening to what feels supportive vs. what feels performative
Imbalances to Watch For
Using routine or “getting things done” to avoid emotion
Overthinking or self-criticism disguised as improvement
Feeling overwhelmed by a desire to fix everything at once
Mistaking control for safety
Becoming rigid instead of receptive
Reminders for this Phase
You don’t need to be perfect to be at peace.
A clean space doesn’t mean a clean heart—let both be tended.
Let care be enough. Let simplicity speak.
Choose steadiness over striving.
Reflections
What in my space reflects the state of my inner world?
Where am I using control or order to avoid deeper feeling?
What routines or small actions are genuinely nourishing me right now?
How can I offer myself gentle structure, without pressure or judgment?
*Waxing Half Moon in Virgo — Friday, August 1*
This phase carries the energy of the Maiden, growing, shaping, finding her rhythm. In Virgo, that energy becomes grounded. It’s a time to move with care, to create through quiet consistency. Showing up in rhythm might mean returning to the small things: cooking, writing, tending your space. Not to control, but to feel steady. This is a moment to check in, not push ahead. Let your pace be simple yet enjoyable.
Moon in Libra — Friday to Sunday
Element: Air | Symbol: The Scales
Libra brings balance but not always comfort. This is the part of the week that asks you to look more closely at how you relate. Not just to others, but to your own truth.
The Scales remind us: harmony that comes from suppression isn’t real peace. This is your moment to pause, to listen, to name what’s been unspoken.
Themes
Relational honesty and integrity
Emotional reciprocity
Seeing and holding multiple perspectives
Choosing truth over performance
Beauty as resonance, not decoration
Imbalances to Watch For
People-pleasing or over-compromising
Avoiding tension or conflict to maintain “peace”
Disconnection from your needs in relationship
Seeking external validation over inner alignment
Delaying necessary conversations
Reminders for this Phase
You can be kind and clear at the same time.
Speaking your truth may disrupt a false peace, but it makes space for real connection.
Beauty without truth is a mask. Let both live together.
It’s okay to take up space in your relationships.
Reflections
Am I saying what I truly mean—or softening my truth to be accepted?
Where am I seeking external harmony while ignoring my inner dissonance?
What relationships feel reciprocal, and what feels imbalanced?
What would speaking with integrity and kindness look like today?
Moon in Scorpio — Sunday
Element: Water | Symbol: The Scorpion
Scorpio brings the week to a close with depth and emotional release. It doesn’t ask you to hold it together, it asks you to go beneath the surface. To feel what you’ve buried. Not to fix it. Just to let it move through.
The Scorpion teaches sacred shedding. It reminds us that letting go is not loss, it’s evolution. This is the emotional underworld. Shadow work.Where truth lives beneath reaction.Where grief becomes clarity.
Themes
Emotional honesty and raw truth
Shedding outdated identities and attachments
Sitting with the uncomfortable rather than escaping it
Transformation through presence
Feeling as a path to wisdom
Imbalances to Watch For
Emotional reactivity or defensiveness
Withdrawing or shutting down instead of expressing
Holding pain to feel powerful or in control
Creating drama as a substitute for intimacy
Clinging to wounds as proof of identity
Reminders for this Phase
Not everything has to be explained, some things only need to be felt.
Your feelings are not failures.
Release is not collapse, it’s clearing.
There is strength in facing what others avoid.
You are allowed to begin again.
Reflections
What truth have I been avoiding or suppressing?
What part of me is ready to be shed or transformed?
What would it look like to face my feelings instead of managing them?
What emotional story am I ready to release from my body?
Summary of This Week’s Flow
Tend → Reflect → Release
Moon in Virgo → Libra → Scorpio
Sun in Cancer
Tend
Virgo Moon (July 28 – Aug 1 midday)
Make space. Not to perfect, but to breathe. Let your body lead you back to rhythm.
Reminder: You don’t need to be in control to be in care.
Reflect
Libra Moon (Aug 1 midday – Aug 3 early)
Pause in the mirror of your relationships. Where are you quieting your truth to stay comfortable? Where are you stretching too far to hold the balance?
Reminder: Harmony is only real when your truth is part of it.
Release
Scorpio Moon (Aug 3 onward)
Feel it. Let the thing you’ve been holding rise to the surface. Let the waters churn. This is where shedding happens—not as collapse, but as clarity. Not to fall apart, but to return to what’s real.
Reminder: What you’re ready to release is no longer yours to carry. Let it go. Tarot with Sian ♾️
Jormungandr – the Midgard Serpent: The great serpent encircles the world. A symbol of life’s endless cycles, of death feeding life, of beginnings that never truly end. This is the rhythm beneath all things , the pull of the tide, the breath in our lungs, the quiet turning of the seasons. We’re being asked to observe, to listen, to move with it. Not force, not fix. But practice. Presence. Flow. The more we surrender to the rhythm, the more still we become.
5 of Cups – Penguin Family:. Penguins know partnership, not as a fantasy, but as a lived devotion. While one holds the egg with patience and warmth, the other journeys to feed the family. There is protection, provision, balance. There are challange's in relationships and that's human.
