July 15th, 2026 - Communication Day | 🌒 Waxing Crescent Moon in Leo ♌ • ☿ Wednesday

The first full day of the Waxing Crescent has arrived.

The New Moon planted the seed.

Today, we begin giving it direction.

The Waxing Crescent is one of the strongest manifestation phases of every lunar cycle. Magic is beginning to build momentum, and the choices we make now naturally become part of everything the Moon continues growing over the weeks ahead.

This is not the time to chase every exciting idea that appears.

It is the time to choose the future that deserves your energy.

The Moon continues traveling through Leo, encouraging us to step confidently into the life we're creating. Leo reminds us that courage is often expressed through consistent action rather than dramatic moments.

Today is ruled by Mercury.

That makes this an exceptional day to clarify your plans before moving fully into action.

Write your petitions.

Refine your spell wording.

Journal about the manifestations you're beginning to create.

Study.

Research.

Perform divination.

Listen carefully for guidance from your ancestors, spirit team, guides, or deities.

Mercury helps us organize inspiration into practical direction.

Before rushing to do more magic, spend time making sure the magic you're preparing truly reflects the life you're choosing to create.

The strongest manifestation always begins with clear intention.
