Word of the Day:

16:41 – On Sunday, CONFLAGRATION is the word of the day. Mercury in Leo trines Chiron in Aries, inspiring powerful words that can heal. The Sagittarius Moon squares the Nodes, creating choice points. It’s a day for fire, passion, and release. 

17:56 – Monday’s word is BOTTLENECK. Saturn retrogrades into Pisces, and the Sagittarius Moon squares Saturn at 29 degrees. Energy feels jammed, like things can’t move forward. Be patient with delays and frustrations.

19:08 – Tuesday's is PROCLAMATION. Mercury enters Virgo after a tense aspect with Saturn, bringing announcements about health, systems, or military matters. Speak clearly and listen for truths hidden in the noise.

20:33 – Wednesday's is ECSTATIC. Mercury in Virgo squares Uranus in Gemini, bringing sudden revelations. The Capricorn Moon engages Mars, Jupiter, and Chiron – emotions run high. There may be reasons to dance in the streets.

22:04 – Thursday's word is COMMUNAL. The Aquarius Moon meets Pluto, and Mars in Libra squares Jupiter in Cancer. Collective matters come into focus, and groups may make bold decisions. Togetherness fuels transformation.

23:23 – Friday's is TERMINATION. Uranus stations retrograde in Gemini, heightening unpredictability. Expect delays, outages, or surprising turns of events. Endings open space for breakthroughs.

24:14 – On Saturday, the word is RETREAT. The Pisces Moon sets the stage for Sunday’s eclipse. Slow down, listen, and open yourself to intuitive downloads. Quiet time brings revelation.
