Word of the Day:

12:20 – On Sunday, BOG is the word of the day. With the Moon entering Scorpio, emotions run deep and linger. Conversations may drift toward secrets, power, or what has been left unsaid. Collectively, Eris stationing direct brings buried tensions to the surface. What was ignored or glossed over may now feel heavy and unavoidable.

14:45 – Monday’s word is BEND. The Sun in Capricorn squares Chiron in Aries, highlighting vulnerability around authority or leadership. You may feel asked to yield or acknowledge a limit. Collectively, power imbalances become visible, with someone forced to bend in submission.

15:28 – Tuesday's is RAZOR. Mars in Capricorn sharpens reactions around work, leadership, and long-term goals. Decisions may feel edgy or irreversible. Collectively, conflicts escalate quickly, especially involving governments, corporations, or elders. Words and actions can cut fast.

16:40 – Wednesday's is BRIEFING. Mercury opposite Jupiter brings important conversations, explanations, or announcements. Information arrives that reframes the bigger picture. Collectively, agitation rises as people react to news during a volatile Balsamic Moon. Criticism and emotional responses run high.

18:12 – Thursday's word is SEPARATION. Venus trine Uranus makes it easier to detach from what no longer works in relationships or finances. The break may feel clean. Collectively, alliances dissolve or restructure, impacting groups even when the separation feels necessary.

20:01 – Friday's is ZEALOUS. The Sagittarius Moon square Neptune amplifies belief and conviction. Passion may outweigh nuance. Collectively, moral certainty or ideological fervor blurs facts, making discernment essential.

20:56 – On Saturday, the word is BULLDOZER. Venus at the final degree of Capricorn softens perspective as it prepares to enter Aquarius. Expectations shift. Collectively, a forceful realization or confrontation pushes through, changing how a group or situation moves forward.
