Saturday & Sunday Cosmic Report

Cosmic Message: Waning Crescent Moon in Sagittarius & Capricorn

As the Waning Crescent Moon in Sagittarius reaches its final hours, we are called to release with optimism and trust. Sagittarius, ruled by Jupiter, reminds us that every ending is a new beginning, urging us to let go of limiting beliefs and embrace spiritual freedom. This is a time to surrender control, trust the unknown, and realign with our truth before stepping into a new cycle.

At 3:38 AM (ET) on 1/26/25, the Moon enters a Void-of-Course period, lasting until 7:42 AM (ET). This brief window is ideal for rest, meditation, and integration—allowing the lessons of Sagittarius to settle before stepping into the structured energy of Capricorn.

Waning Crescent Moon in Capricorn (1/26 at 7:42 AM – 1/28 at 9:47 AM)

Once the Moon enters Capricorn, the energy shifts from fire to earth—grounding us and preparing us for a practical new cycle. Capricorn invites us to release fears around success, discipline, and responsibility. This is the time to clear outdated structures, reassess commitments, and refine long-term goals before the New Moon’s fresh start.

This transition from Sagittarius to Capricorn, is like moving from visionary wisdom to grounded action—we let go of illusions and align with realistic, sustainable goals.

Oilstrology Blend for this Transit: “Sacred Release”

A blend to support both Sagittarius’ expansive release and Capricorn’s grounded preparation:

Frankincense – Spiritual wisdom, clarity, and connection to higher truth
Clary Sage – Trust in divine timing and intuitive insight
Cypress – Flow and flexibility in releasing old patterns
Vetiver – Deep grounding and stabilizing energy for Capricorn’s structure
Sandalwood – Balancing spiritual surrender with practical wisdom

How to Use: Diffuse during meditation or apply to pulse points (diluted with a carrier oil) while journaling to deepen reflection.

Positive Affirmations

For Sagittarius Release:

I trust the unfolding of my journey and release what no longer aligns.
I surrender limiting beliefs and embrace expansion with an open heart.

For Capricorn Grounding:

I am creating a strong foundation for my dreams.
I let go of what holds me back and commit to what truly matters.

Journal Prompts

Sagittarius Reflection (Before the Void Moon, 3:38 AM ET 1/26)

What beliefs, habits, or attachments am I ready to release before the next cycle?
How has my perspective expanded recently, and how can I integrate this wisdom?
Capricorn Grounding (After 7:42 AM ET 1/26)
What structures in my life need refinement for long-term success?
How can I balance discipline with self-care as I move forward?
What is one small, consistent action I can take to align with my long-term goals?

Final Message

This is a powerful transition from expansion to structure, urging us to release freely and then rebuild with purpose. Use this time to realign, ground yourself, and prepare for the next phase with clarity and intention.

What are you ready to release, and what foundation will you build next?

Full Moon Ritual for Release & Manifestation

The Full Moon is a time of culmination, illumination, and release. This ritual will help you let go of what no longer serves you and set intentions for what you want to manifest.

AI Art by Becky Banrney

What You’ll Need:

A candle (white for clarity, or a color that resonates with your intention)
A journal or piece of paper
A pen
A small bowl of water or a cleansing crystal (selenite, moonstone)
Essential oil (such as dōTERRA’s Frankincense or Lavender for grounding)
A safe place to burn paper (optional)

Step 1: Create Sacred Space

Find a quiet place where you won’t be disturbed. Light your candle and take a few deep breaths. If using essential oils, rub a drop between your palms, inhale deeply, and set an intention to connect with the Full Moon’s energy.

Step 2: Reflection & Release

Write down anything you’re ready to release—limiting beliefs, fears, toxic relationships, or self-doubt.
Reflect on lessons learned over the past lunar cycle.
Read your list out loud and affirm:

I release what no longer serves me. I make space for new blessings and opportunities.

Safely burn the paper or tear it into small pieces and place it in the bowl of water, symbolizing release.

Step 3: Manifestation & Gratitude

Write down what you are calling in—dreams, desires, or qualities you want to embody.
Visualize yourself already living this reality.
Speak your intentions aloud with confidence and gratitude.

Step 4: Closing & Grounding

Place your hands over your heart and thank the Universe for its guidance.
Blow out the candle and imagine its light now shining within you.
If using a cleansing crystal, hold it for a moment to absorb its energy.

End with the affirmation: I am aligned with the highest good. My dreams are unfolding in divine timing.

Let the energy of the Full Moon carry your intentions forward!
