"You may be finding it challenging to balance your most important needs with the needs of those close to you. If so, consider how you can communicate your desires better."

"You may feel like getting away from it all, but it’s time to stay where you are, whether in terms of places or positions, on certain matters. More will emerge."

"Naturally sensitive and intuitive, make sure you listen to your inner guidance this week, and pay particularly close attention to gut feelings around a work situation that’s been troubling you."

"It’s time to ruffle some feathers, set the cat among the pigeons. Until you test a situation, you can’t know if it’s built of the right stuff. Trust your gut."

"When you’re clear about what you want the universe lines up to give you exactly this. So, set clear intentions this month and trust that what you desire will manifest."
