Today's Daily Reading:

Virgo's second day pairs with a fresh 1, but this isn't a loud beginning — it's the quiet clearing that happens right before one. The Moon is nearly dark now; whatever new thing wants to start soon needs the ground prepared first. Moss agate closes out Virgo's run, its patient, earthy steadiness fitting for this final clearing before New Moon.
