Friday 23rd October - Follow Your Enthusiasm
Today's a day to reconnect with what excites you, follow your own enthusiasm, and make a little more room for the things that bring energy, pleasure, and enjoyment into your life.
With the Waxing Moon in Aries and Friday ruled by Venus, today's energy blends initiative, passion, and independence with pleasure, beauty, and personal values, encouraging you to take an active role in creating more of what you love.
Aries brings a lively, spontaneous quality to the day.
It encourages you to follow your instincts, take the initiative, and explore what captures your interest.
Venus brings your attention to pleasure, enjoyment, and the things you find beautiful, meaningful, or satisfying.
Together, they invite you to notice what makes you feel genuinely enthusiastic.
Perhaps there's something you've been wanting to try.
A place you'd love to explore.
An experience that sounds exciting.
A creative idea that makes you smile.
Or something you enjoy that you've been putting off because other things seem more important.
The Waxing Moon encourages you to give energy to what you want to grow, making today a lovely opportunity to actively cultivate more enjoyment in your everyday life.
Think about the difference between waiting for something enjoyable to happen and deliberately creating opportunities for it.
Sometimes all it takes is deciding to do something you've been thinking about for ages.
- Making the invitation.
- Buying the ticket.
- Starting the project.
- Trying the new experience.
- Or simply choosing to spend your time doing something you love.
Today's magick lies in following your enthusiasm and taking the initiative to create more of what brings you joy.
