Word of the Day:

25:20 – On Sunday, DELAYED is the word of the day. Personal Guidance: Mercury stations retrograde at 6 Sagittarius. Pad your schedule, back up devices, reread before you send, and gas up the car. If plans slip, pivot with grace. Collective Guidance: Expect system glitches, travel slowdowns, and mixed messages as the station imprints the week. Choose patience over push. 

26:20 – Monday’s word is DRAMATIC. Personal Guidance: The Cancer Moon meets Jupiter. Big feelings, bigger appetite for comfort. When the Leo Moon takes over, express from the heart but keep your feet on the ground. Collective Guidance: Grand gestures pop, then the Leo Moon opposes Pluto and squares Venus in Scorpio. Spotlight meets power plays. Keep warmth, skip theatrics. 

28:15 – Tuesday's is HEARTACHE. Personal Guidance: Jupiter stations retrograde at 25 Cancer and the Last Quarter Moon lands at 20 Leo. Release ego scripts that keep your heart guarded. Rest is medicine. Collective Guidance: Crossroads energy. Big announcements may stir emotions. Choose dignity over drama while the Moon wanes.

29:24 – Wednesday's is CREDIBILITY. Personal Guidance: Mercury retrograde conjoins Mars at 6 Sagittarius. Brain on fire. Cool the tongue, check your facts, drive defensively. Collective Guidance: Claims get louder as Leo’s late degrees square Uranus before the Moon shifts to Virgo. Truth matters more than volume. 

32:21 – Thursday's word is BESEIGED. Personal Guidance: The Virgo Moon is caught between Mercury retrograde and Mars in Sagittarius. If you feel squeezed, step back, breathe, and simplify your next action. Collective Guidance: Mediate less, observe more. The Moon brushes the South Node. Drain the noise, not your energy.

33:23 – Friday's is CLOUT. Personal Guidance: The Virgo Moon opposes Saturn in Pisces. Earned authority is greater than borrowed importance. Do the humble thing well. Collective Guidance: Titles won’t carry shaky structures. Substance, accountability, and timelines win the day.

34:06 – On Saturday, the word is SIESTA. Personal Guidance: The Balsamic Moon at 9 Libra aligns with Diadem, the Crown Star, inviting grace, beauty, and spiritual sovereignty. Nap on it. Collective Guidance: Restore balance. Curate peace, refine plans, and let diplomacy lead while the light wanes.
