General

Your feelings are flowing like water — this is a time to trust that flow instead of holding it back. Your dreams may be carrying messages, and your intuition is more reliable than your logic. Stay flexible and open to renewal.

Love

Emotional depth and an intuitive understanding come to the fore — you can feel each other without needing words. It is a tender bond, left to flow; trusting without trying to control will deepen it further.

An ideal time to shine in artistic or creative work — your inspiration is flowing from somewhere intuitive and unconscious. Decisions where you trust your instinct over careful calculation will take you the right way.

  • suppressed intuition
  • emotional turmoil

You may have silenced your instincts and be hiding behind logic. That can lead to emotional turmoil and to not seeing the truth clearly. The voice of your fears may be louder than the voice of your intuition — noticing that is where healing begins.

Love

Your feelings may turn into a whirlpool out of control — oversensitivity, jealousy or insecurity may be straining your relationship. Naming these feelings calmly, instead of pushing them down, will settle the whirlpool.

Career

A decision made in an emotional reaction at work could lead to a mistake. You may tend to escape the facts into a world of daydreams. Now is the time to focus on grounded, concrete steps.
