Welcome a turning point, as Venus gets ready to move forward from today. If you’ve been thinking of making changes to your social scene, these past weeks might have brought a desire to leave groups or clubs that no longer chime with you. The same may have occurred with connections that have grown stale. Your true friends really will stand out from the crowd.

A powerful lunar phase today occurs in your wellness zone and could spotlight a habit that you’ve been meaning to give up for a while. If it’s about relinquishing a certain food and substituting it for something healthier, this can be a good time to make that commitment. With determination to persist, the old ways can soon fade, and you’ll likely feel much better for it.

With Mercury about to shift into Aries and Mars soon moving into Leo, their alignment in water signs today brings a moment of deep insight. A powerful, perhaps even healing conversation, could unlock a new level of self-understanding. Whether it’s a heart-to-heart with a trusted confidant or an inner dialogue, this isn’t just talk, it’s a chance for real emotional growth.

You’re encouraged to tie up loose ends and clear emotional clutter. It’s time to release what no longer serves you. Yet with Mercury and Venus turning direct in your social zone, long-lost friendships or past connections you’ve recently nurtured could become meaningful. A key lunar phase offers a chance to resolve a lifestyle issue. Small changes can lead to big improvements.

Each year when the Sun returns to our zodiac sign, it can trigger new beginnings and possibilities. But you may find that this year, on the 19th, when this happens, you could find deciding exactly which option to choose requires giving something else up, which can create a conflict. Your ruler asks you to think long term, and to stick to things that trigger your bliss. All this can be supercharged by your personal New Moon on the 27th, which urges you to be as single minded as possible. This may see you decide to break away from a friendship or group that no longer work for your greater good.
