MoonscopeMay 5 - 11This week, the Moon invites us to fine-tune. With the waxing gibbous phase building toward next week’s potent Full Moon in Scorpio, the cosmic lens sharpens. Virgo and Libra guide us through the art of refinement—nudging us to examine our routines, relationships, and rituals.
Virgo asks: Is this working?
Libra wonders: Is it harmonious?
Scorpio follows up with the most piercing question of all: Is it true?
The waxing gibbous Moon is a call to adjust. It’s the space between intention and manifestation—where edits are made, details are clarified, and alignment occurs. This week’s lunar journey asks not for dramatic change, but for conscious calibration.
Rather than overhaul your entire life, ask yourself: What micro-shift could open the floodgates of transformation?
