A period of deep internal healing begins today when Saturn goes retrograde (backward) in your twelfth house of closure. It’s time to face the fears and emotional demons that are lurking in your subconscious. You’ve been plagued by these worries for long enough, and it’s time you faced them. It’s not easy to release the bitterness that you may think is protecting you from further hurt. In actuality, it’s keeping you stuck there. Work with a professional if need be—it’s time to release and move on.
Grab that brass ring, Scorpio! Today’s Leo full moon lights up your tenth house of career and success. This could be a defining moment on your professional path, so go forth and make your mark. You may also have reached a turning point in your career (or another long-term goal) where it’s time to make a decision. You can either commit to this wholeheartedly or let it go—but get off the fence, Scorpio.
Being healthy doesn’t have to be bland or boring. Today, pleasure-loving Venus enters Aries, your sixth house of well-being for a month. There are a plethora of ways to make nutritious food taste sensational—and with some beautiful plating and presentation, you can deepen your enjoyment even more. A gorgeous yoga or Pilates studio can make workouts feel more like indulgences. Why suffer when you don’t have to?
You’re simultaneously energized and irritated by the crowd today. A team project may need an extra push to make it through the finish line. Rally the troops, but don’t bulldoze them. Just because you’re on a get-‘er-done mission, doesn’t mean you should unload your stress on the people around you. Take time to breathe and say thank you to anyone who’s helping out. As for the slackers? Give them a playful push or a stern warning, but be kind.
You need to shed the stress of this week, so make today into a mini-detox. Before you go out tonight (or maybe instead of going out), hit the juice bar and a yoga class. Sit down for a great macrobiotic or vegetarian dinner and unwind. Swap the coffee for herbal tea. Tonight, you might even want to clean or reorganize your house. No, it might not be the sexiest way to spend a Friday night, but you’ll be clear and ready for fun tomorrow!
If you don’t have something nice to say today, it’s best to bite your tongue. You’re liable to hit below the belt with a passive-aggressive barb, especially if you feel personally attacked. If you’re vulnerable, don’t take the defensive stance. Instead, go examine the feelings and thoughts that have come up. If part of you didn’t believe this negativity, you wouldn’t have such a strong reaction. Get yourself into a balanced place and back in touch with reality.
Gosh, it’s been hard waking up this weekend, hasn’t it? With the moon in your sleepy twelfth house since Friday, you may even have been a little more pensive or emotional than you already normally are. Hang in your cocoon for one more day and process those complicated feelings. By late afternoon or early evening, your mood will lighten, and you’ll feel like yourself again. That’s because the moon moves into Scorpio, energizing you to start the week on a fabulous, self-affirming note!
