Word of the Day:

 

24:05 – On Sunday, HANGOVER is the word of the day. As the Sagittarius Sun completes its square to Neptune at 29 Pisces, the effects of excess or blurred boundaries may come into focus. The Sun’s shift into Capricorn brings a return to reality and accountability. Collectively, this is a sobering moment where responsibility takes center stage. What was once overlooked now feels harder to ignore.

 

25:52 – Monday’s word is NETWORK. As the Moon meets Pluto in Aquarius, group dynamics intensify. You may feel called to engage with communities that align more deeply with your values. Collectively, shifts within organizations, social networks, or systems may feel decisive or irreversible. Lines are drawn around belonging and trust.

 

27:09 – Tuesday's is ILLUMINATE. The waxing Crescent Moon highlights awareness, helping you see what is beginning to take shape. As Venus in Sagittarius squares Neptune at 29 Pisces, illusions fade. Collectively, realizations come through conversation, storytelling, or moments of honesty that cut through confusion. What was once idealized becomes easier to name.

 

27:52 – Wednesday's is COMMIT. Venus enters Capricorn, shifting attention from pleasure to permanence and from attraction to responsibility. You may feel ready to define what you are truly willing to invest in. Collectively, commitment replaces fantasy as endurance and reliability take precedence over excitement. What lasts matters more than what dazzles.

 

29:21 – Thursday's word is MERRY. The Moon and amplifying North Node connect in Pisces; compassion and emotional sensitivity deepen. This is a day for gentle joy, reflection, and meaningful connection. Collectively, kindness, generosity, and quiet togetherness feel more nourishing than spectacle. Small acts of care carry weight.

 

29:59 – Friday's is TRADE. As the Pisces Moon squares Mercury, emotions color conversations about exchange, value, and fairness. You may notice heightened sensitivity around what feels equitable or disappointing. Collectively, negotiations or misunderstandings reveal the emotional layers beneath practical decisions. Feelings influence outcomes.

30:44 – On Saturday, the word is GLADIATOR. The First Quarter Moon in Aries demands action, courage, and forward motion. With Mars in Capricorn on the fixed star Facies, focus can become intense, pressured, or narrowly directed. Collectively, conflict and competition may be visible, especially in sports or public arenas. Limited vision fuels heated reactions.
