Word of the Day:

27:06 – On Sunday, FIREBRAND is the word of the day. Personal: Mercury in Scorpio trines the North Node in Pisces, inviting bold truth-telling and authentic self-expression. Speak powerfully but with purpose. Collective: Conversations flare around taboo topics as Mars and Mercury in Scorpio stoke passionate debate. Channel the fire into transformation, not destruction.

28:58 – Monday’s word is BOASTFUL. Personal: The Libra Moon squares Jupiter in Cancer and opposes Chiron in Aries. Confidence rises but pride can wound connection. Collective: Leaders may grandstand or exaggerate victories. Behind the noise, deeper insecurities surface. Listen beyond the performance.

30:24 – Tuesday's is SUBTEXT. Personal: The Libra New Moon sets intentions for harmony and strategic partnership. With the Sun square Pluto, hidden motives surface. Collective: Contracts, alliances, and treaties may conceal deeper power struggles. The Moon entering Scorpio exposes what lies beneath appearances.

31:17 – Wednesday's is IMAGES. Personal: The Sun enters Scorpio, deepening emotional intensity and heightening intuition. Artistic expression brings insight and catharsis. Collective: Neptune retrograding into Pisces blurs reality while the Scorpio Sun reveals hidden truth. Let visuals inspire rather than deceive.

33:44 – Thursday's word is JIU-JITSU. Personal: The Scorpio Moon joins Mars and Mercury, teaching strategy over struggle. Redirect energy with patience and precision. Collective: Jupiter in Cancer squares Chiron and Eris in Aries, heightening tension. Creative resistance and humor can flip the narrative. 

36:19 – Friday's is DEBT. Personal: The Scorpio Sun squares Pluto in Aquarius, revealing what must be transformed. Simplify and lighten your load. Collective: Economic and emotional debts surface. Release guilt and honor reciprocity in all exchanges.

38:08 – On Saturday, the word is LIMITATIONS. Personal: The Sagittarius Moon squares the Nodes, spotlighting the difference between criticism and compassion. Choose balance. Collective: Saturn in Pisces trines Mercury in Scorpio, favoring mature dialogue and healthy boundaries. Clear rules create calm.
