Face value of people and objects is not enough for you right now; your chart says you should, you must, go deeper.
This is how you can feel richer on every level of life and love.
So try not to be too dazzled by shiny surfaces or expensive habits.
Your personal pathway is clear and calm as Mercury takes charge, but you still need to do your homework, especially at work.
DESTINY DAYS
Any day that includes letter 'N' can be a stand-out winner.
You cope well with time changes on Thursday.
Saturday, invite an out-of-touch friend along.
What is your star sign's element?
In astrology, the elements — Air, Water, Earth, and Fire signs — serve as foundational principles that influence the characteristics and behaviours associated with the twelve star signs.
Earth signs: Taurus, Virgo, and Capricorn
The Earth signs are grounded in the tangible and practical aspects of life, embodying the stable and nurturing qualities of their element. These signs are known for their pragmatism, reliability, and strong connection to the physical world, often excelling in matters that require patience and persistence.
Air Signs: Gemini, Libra, and Aquarius
The Air signs are characterised by their intellectual, communicative, and social nature. This reflects the light and dynamic essence of their elemental influence. Overall, these signs tend to excel in the realms of ideas, relationships, and innovation, bringing a breath of fresh air to their interactions and thought processes.
Water Signs: Cancer, Scorpio, and Pisces
The Water element signs are profoundly impacted by their element. With each astrological sign, water gives way to emotional depth, strong intuition, and a capacity for deep empathy and connection.
Fire Signs: Aries, Leo, and Sagittarius
Fuelled by the element of Fire, these fire signs in astrology are known for their passion, boldness, energy, enthusiasm, courage, and a zest for life that often leads them to adventurous and creative endeavours.
LUCKY LINKS
A book with a diagram on the cover.
Contests where strangers compete together.
A relative who's a gifted artist.
NEW MOON NEW START
On one level, the new moon brings Leo a simple message: it's not too late to turn back time and restart a set of cash calculations.
But this must happen when you're ready.
This is also a moon of knowing your own values and being prepared to stand up for them, and for people who represent them.
You may need to get firmer with family or people close to you.
A debt you may have forgotten is ready to be paid back in full.
