Word of the Day:

26:26 – On Sunday, HANDSHAKE is the word of the day. As the Moon enters Leo, notice where you are being asked to lead or be seen. Act with integrity and be clear about what you offer and expect. Collectively, power and recognition themes surface as the Leo Moon opposes Pluto. Watch who holds influence behind the scenes.

27:45 – Monday’s word is ABRACADABRA. With the Leo Moon sesquisquare Saturn and Neptune, inspiration meets limitation. Focus on what you can realistically shape today. Collectively, spectacle and misdirection are likely as authority figures manage perception. Notice what is theatrical versus real.

28:12 – Tuesday's is USURP. Venus Cazimi in Capricorn marks a rebirth around values, money, and relationships. This is a potent moment to ask for recognition or support. Collectively, leadership news may be overshadowed as attention shifts with the Moon entering Virgo. Watch what steals the spotlight.

30:25 – Wednesday's is KNEAD. The Virgo Moon emphasizes shaping something through patience and repetition. Slow, deliberate effort brings better results now. Collectively, Venus and Mars in Capricorn highlight pressure around labor, resources, and productivity. Results are being demanded.

31:30 – Thursday's word is NEGOTIATE. Mercury in Capricorn supports grounded, practical conversations about responsibility and boundaries. Keep discussions focused and factual. Collectively, compromise becomes possible as the Moon moves into Libra. Balance matters more than winning.

32:57 – Friday's is DIPLOMACY. Mars Cazimi in Capricorn amplifies ambition and drive. Choose actions that serve long-term goals. Collectively, Venus opposing Jupiter heightens tension between authority and public need. Diplomatic efforts may be emotionally tested.

34:05 – On Saturday, the word is BACKLASH. The Last Quarter Moon in Libra reveals where balance has been lost. Adjustments are needed for sustainability. Collectively, major decisions provoke public response as Jupiter magnifies consequences. Accountability becomes louder.
