Word of the Day:

 

27:33 – On Sunday, GRAVITAS is the word of the day. Something gets revealed that hits emotionally—truths about love, commitment, or personal space. The challenge is to stay grounded and hold your dignity amid vulnerability.

 

33:26 – Monday’s word is BAYOU. A day for exploring mystery, shadow, and emotional depth. Themes of transformation, spiritual connection, and resilience are highlighted. Embrace introspection and the unseen.

36:05 – Tuesday's is RAPTURE. Energy begins to shift—expect jolts of inspiration or emotional highs. The evening brings movement as Mercury reenters Aries, igniting fresh thought and action.

 

37:50 – Wednesday's is SITUATION. Secrets come to light or get too loud to ignore. It’s time for decisive action, even if the facts are messy. Align confidence with precision before making moves.

 

41:59 – Thursday's word is ILLUSIONS. Watch for mental fog, denial, or misperception—especially regarding health, finances, or stability. Get clear before reacting. Illusions could be masking deeper truths.

 

44:40 – Friday's is THANTOS.  A day of peaceful endings and inevitable truths. Lean into acceptance and let go gently where needed. The fog lifts, but it may not be easy to face.

 

46:55 – On Saturday, the word is CURVEBALL. Unexpected turns bring new clarity. With the Sun entering Taurus and Mars trining Neptune, trust your instincts and stay flexible. It’s time to ground mystical insight into reality.
