Tuesday 6th October - Do the Things You've Been Avoiding

Today's a day to stop holding yourself back, release one of the fears that makes you hesitate, and take an action that reminds you what you're capable of.

With the Waning Moon in Leo and Tuesday ruled by Mars, today's energy blends release with courage and self-expression, encouraging you to notice where fear of judgement, failure, or getting something wrong has been preventing you from moving.

Leo brings confidence, visibility, creativity, and the courage to express yourself, while Mars adds action and determination.

Under the Waning Moon, this energy can help you recognise what needs to lose its hold over you.

Perhaps you've been avoiding a conversation because you're worried how it will be received.

Perhaps you've created something but haven't shared it.

Perhaps there's an opportunity you want to pursue, but you're questioning whether you're ready.

Or perhaps you've been waiting for the fear to disappear before you act.

Mars reminds you that courage grows through action.

Today's magick lies in doing one thing that fear has been holding you back from.

💬 Daily Affirmation

"I trust myself to act with courage and take up my space."

Say it with conviction, allowing your body to embody the words as much as your mind does.

 

🌿 Everyday Magickal Moment – One Brave Thing

Choose one small thing you've been hesitating over.

• Send the message.
• Share the idea.
• Ask the question.
• Wear the thing.
• Make the request.
• Say what you think.
• Put your name forward.
• Start before you feel ready.

Ask yourself: "What's the smallest brave action I could take right now?"

Say: "I choose courage over hesitation."

Then do it before you have time to create another reason to wait.

Afterwards, notice how you feel rather than immediately judging the outcome.

What did taking action show you about your own courage?
