Today's Moon Reading
With the Moon moving through Sagittarius during a Waxing Crescent phase, traditional astrology associates today's lunar themes with restlessness, optimism, and a pull toward the bigger picture. This is a waxing Moon, so in astrology that energy is generally read as building and accumulating right now.
In astrology, lunar themes are traditional and symbolic - not scientific predictions.
Understanding the Waxing Crescent
The Waxing Crescent occurs after the New Moon as the illuminated portion of the Moon gradually grows. In traditional astrology, this phase is often associated with beginning, intention, growth, and building momentum.
