Setting intentions

Star signs impacted the most: Taurus and Scorpio will run with it. 

There’s nothing quite like proving naysayers wrong, and this month’s New Moon in childlike, attention-grabbing Leo is the time to set some intentions for your personal expression. Cosmic energies will support these efforts even in the face of challenges, as indicated by Saturn and Uranus. Just because others don’t get your ingenuity (for now) doesn’t mean it’s not there. Do your thing. 

Sensory overload

Star signs impacted the most: Gemini and Virgo should take it easy.

The first half of the week has our brains working on overdrive. Sensory overload and going down some online rabbit holes are more likely with Mercury coming under pressure from Neptune and Pluto. Watch out for missing the forest for the trees. Get some perspective by putting on music and giving the ol’ noggin a break.

Feel the love

Star signs impacted the most: Capricorn, Aquarius, and Pisces can be the object of affection.  

Love and romance come into focus toward the latter part of the week. We can be more romantic, passionate, and eager to show off. Thoughtful acts of service, large or small, can go a long way. Whether you bring back an extra coffee or pay off someone’s loan, they are going to be feeling your love.
