Your Cycle Tracker: Leo → Virgo
You’ve got your Cycle Tracker. Now it begins to breathe with you.
Each color, each note, becomes a breadcrumb leading you back to your body’s rhythm with the Moon. What you mark on the page is a reflection of what already lives in you.
How to Use It
Print or save your tracker where you’ll see it daily.
Open your inbox on Sundays for Attune to the Moon — your weekly guide to the Moon’s shifts and body signals.
Spend 2 minutes a day noticing sensations, moods, and energy.
Mark your square (Yay, Okay, Meh, Ugh) and add a word if something stands out.
Why It Matters
Within a few months, your tracker begins to reveal a pattern:
Times when your body feels most creative or social
Times when your energy leans toward quiet or rest
The way emotions move in rhythm with the Moon
Your body is writing its own lunar map, and this tool helps you see it.
This Week’s Body Compass
Capricorn → Aquarius → Pisces
Waxing Gibbous → Full Moon & Partial Lunar Eclipse
The whole week leans forward until Friday morning, when it stops. Friday’s Full Moon in Pisces is also a deep partial eclipse, nearly the entire face of the Moon passing into Earth’s shadow. Our systems tend to register the days before an eclipse as pressure without an obvious source. Sleep gets lighter. Feeling arrives early, and without an event attached to it.
Underneath the lunar week, the season has already turned. Lammas is behind us. Lung and Metal energy is rising, our own energy sinking downward and inward, and grief and gratitude have begun arriving together again the way they do every year at this point in the descent.
Sun–Mon (Aug 23–24) — Capricorn Moon, Waxing Gibbous
When the Moon is in Capricorn our attention is drawn down into our bones and knees, and into our skin, the boundary our ancestors also lived inside. The air clears. Our inner foundations become more visible, and so does whatever we have been holding up by hand.
We tend to want structure now, and to reach for the routine that steadies us. Inflexibility is where that turns on us.
The gifts and wisdom of our ancestors are more easily accessible here, when we choose to steward them for the benefit of all.
Body Compass:
What are you noticing in your energy? Focused and competent, or scattered and worried?
Where is your creativity going — down into the details, or out toward the bigger picture?
Are you thin-skinned today, with everything getting in? Or thick-skinned — and is that steadiness, or numbness?
Are your knees strong and flexible, or swollen and achy? Is your skin dry, asking for warmth?
What is holding you this week, and what are you holding up?
Tue–Wed (Aug 25–26) — Aquarius Moon, Waxing Gibbous
The Moon moves into Aquarius late Tuesday morning and the field opens after Capricorn’s density. Our lower legs and ankles come forward, the parts of us that carry our weight without being asked.
Our thinking tends to widen faster than our bodies can follow. Some of us find the spaciousness a relief. Some of us cannot land anywhere at all.
This is the Soul Vessel’s territory. How our love and our gifts actually move outward, and through what channel.
Body Compass:
How is your energy moving? Wired and buzzing, or flat and unable to land?
Notice what your ideas are doing. Arriving faster than you can hold them, or has the well gone quiet?
What about emotionally? Spacious and open, or taking in more than you can process?
And your calves, your ankles. Loose and easy, or twitchy and wanting to move?
Less input allows more clarity. Give your system room this week.
Where are your gifts trying to move outward, and what is the actual channel?
Thu (Aug 27) — Aquarius into Pisces, Waxing Gibbous
Thursday holds the last of Aquarius until evening, when the Moon slips into Pisces around nine. From there our edges begin to go porous.
Pisces holds our feet. How firmly planted we are in our own knowing, how far into our own bodies we are actually living.
Body Compass:
Where is your energy by evening? Still going, or already dropping toward the dark?
Notice what your dreams are doing. Images starting to arrive, or fog, nothing distinct?
How are you feeling — tender and open, or leaking, unsure what is yours?
And your feet. Aching and restless, or cool and wanting the ground?
Soak your feet tonight. Warm water, salt, ten minutes. It gives your body a way to find its own outline again.
What are you carrying that arrived from somewhere else?
Fri (Aug 28) — Full Moon in Pisces, Deep Partial Lunar Eclipse, 6:19 am
The Moon reaches fullness at 6:19 CET in the morning and almost all of it passes into Earth’s shadow. The Dreamer, the Pisces Soul Star Seed activated on the third night of last winter’s dark, crosses here from underground into visible expression.
Across from it, the Sun in Virgo holds our bellies. Dissolution on one side and discernment on the other, and we stand between them all day.
Some of us go porous under an eclipse and feel everything at once. Some of us go flat and quiet and wonder why nothing is landing. The shadow is doing the same thing in both.
Body Compass:
What is your energy doing today? Wide awake since before dawn, or heavy and wanting the dark?
Notice what is coming through. Images and dreams arriving, or static, nothing at all?
Emotionally, is everything at the surface? Or oddly flat, far away?
And your feet, your belly. Hot and tender, seeking contact? Unsettled, sorting, asking for simple food?
Whatever surfaces today wants meeting more than it wants interpreting.
What has come into view that you have been declining to look at directly?
Sat (Aug 29) — Pisces Moon, in the Dark
The tide turns back. Our Earthbound Spirit that lives in our lungs and knows how to metabolize takes over the work now. Whatever came up under Friday’s light begins to be digested rather than examined.
Some of us feel clearer today. Some of us feel wrung out and slow. The digestion is happening either way.
Body Compass:
How is your energy today? Coming back, or wrung out and needing the day off?
Is anything settling into words yet, or is it still moving through you?
Emotionally — clearer and more spacious, or still raw and close to the surface?
And your feet, your lungs. Grounding again, the exhale lengthening? Or still catching?
Give it a day before you decide what any of it meant.
What from this cycle is ready to be set down as complete?
How to Work with the Rhythm
Early week: build from the bones, slowly, and let structure hold you.
Midweek: let your thinking widen without acting on all of it.
Thursday into Friday: your edges go porous. Soak your feet and keep your food simple. Sleep will want more room than you were planning to give it.
Saturday: let the exhale be long.
Waxing weeks build toward a peak and this one peaks inside a shadow. Noticing where that lands in your own body, day by day, is how the cycle becomes visible to you over time.
