How to make the most of this week ? … While Mercury conjunct Mars sharpens your tongue, you can choose to resist verbal fencing. The Messenger’s square to Saturn the same day brings a useful reality check if you want to set boundaries or write a pointed letter to your local council member. Frustration mounts as Mars clangs swords with Saturn. If you need to vent: howl into a pillow or pen a scathing satire. When in doubt — listen.

Tarot card of the week ? … The 5 of Swords represents the first 10° of Aquarius, where Saturn is currently residing. This card reflects the week’s edgy atmosphere as Mercury and Mars hash it out with Saturn, the planet of grim reality checks. The 5 of Swords reminds you to pick your battles wisely, as even victory comes with a loss. This card also invites you to do the braver (and harder) thing: be accountable. The severity of this moment is a portal into healing.

Affirmation of the week ? … Clarity is kindness; being honest puts me in the seat of my power; and being accountable leads me to many a quantum leap. Good fortune follows the truth.
