Monday 5th October - Give Yourself the Approval
Today's a day to notice where you're giving your energy away in search of approval, release some of the pressure to meet other people's expectations, and begin the week by trusting yourself a little more.
With the Waning Moon in Leo and Monday ruled by the Moon, today's energy blends emotional awareness with self-expression, encouraging you to notice where your confidence depends too heavily on how you're being received by the people around you.
Leo brings your attention to confidence, visibility, creativity, and the courage to be fully yourself.
Under the Waning Moon, you're invited to notice what makes you question that confidence.
Perhaps you're waiting for someone to tell you that you're doing well.
Perhaps you're comparing your progress with someone else's.
Perhaps a lack of response has made you doubt something you previously felt excited about.
Or perhaps you're making choices based on what will be most acceptable rather than what feels right for you.
The Moon brings emotional awareness to these patterns, helping you notice how much power you give to other people's reactions.
Today's magick lies in recognising where you can give yourself the reassurance you've been looking for elsewhere.
🌞 Daily Intention Prompt
"Where am I waiting for someone else's approval instead of trusting myself?"
Notice where you already know what you think, want, or feel, but continue looking outside yourself for confirmation.
💬 Daily Affirmation
"I trust my own judgement and give myself permission to choose what feels right for me."
Say it as a reminder that reassurance can feel good, but your confidence becomes stronger when it also comes from within.
