Mars Enters Cancer — "Energy turns protective, instinctive, and close to home."
Today's Daily Reading:
The Moon is nearly dark now, drifting through Leo just before tomorrow's New Moon — an unusual pairing, since Leo usually wants attention, but today it's happy to rest quietly before its own fresh cycle begins. Today's 2 favours a trusted companion over the spotlight.
Today's Mindful Activity:
Let your body be still today, even for five minutes — lie down, close your eyes, unclench your jaw — before you have to be "on" for anyone.
Today's Affirmation:
I don't owe anyone my brightness today.
Crystal to Carry:
Citrine
Journal Prompt:
When have I kept performing past the point my body was asking me to stop?
