What’s the moon up to?

The week begins with the moon in earth sign Virgo. It’s waxing (growing in light), as we progress through the lunar month. Whatever was initiated during the new moon last week is reaching a critical point during the first quarter moon on Thursday, and solutions are found at the waxing gibbous moon on Sunday. The week closes with the moon in Sagittarius.
