Word of the day:
21:56 – On Sunday, OBSOLETE is the word of the day. The Capricorn Moon is under pressure from Mars, Saturn, and Venus. Notice what has reached the end of its usefulness. An old leader, institution, structure, relationship, or system may show that it is no longer fit for purpose. Something established is showing its age.
23:23 – Monday’s word is BRAVADO. Mercury at 29° Leo is sesquiquadrate Saturn. Be confident but make sure you can back up what you say. Someone may talk a very big game only to have reality expose the weakness underneath.
24:04 – Tuesday's is COWARDLY. Mercury meets the South Node in Leo as the Moon enters Aquarius and meets Pluto. Someone's mask may slip. Notice where fear is hiding underneath a performance of strength. A leader may lose face in front of the crowd, or a group may react strongly to disappointing news. The wizard behind the curtain could be revealed.
26:20 – Wednesday's is EXCISE. The Virgo Sun and Mercury activate a Yod under the Aquarius Moon. Beware of becoming unnecessarily critical and exclusionary. Collectively, watch for themes of exclusion, purging, segregation, classification, or deciding who belongs and who doesn't.
28:03 – Thursday's word is BREATHE. Mercury Cazimi in Virgo can bring clarity as the Moon enters Pisces. Everybody is on mute. Information may suddenly illuminate something that was hidden. A mask comes off, the room goes quiet, and people begin to understand.
30:40 – Friday’s word is DIAGNOSIS. Mercury and the Sun in Virgo square Uranus. You may finally understand what isn't working, whether it involves your health, car, technology, child, pet, or daily systems. A surprising test result, discovery, explanation, or breakthrough could identify the source of a problem.
31:28 – On Saturday, the word is SURVIVAL. The Moon enters Aries, bringing a more instinctive, competitive energy. Be prepared rather than reactive. Weather, conflict, shortages, or emergencies may put preparedness into focus. Survival is easier when you don't wait for the crisis to begin preparing.
