Word of the Day:

 

23:48 – On Sunday, DISCORDANT is the word of the day. Tensions are stirred within groups and collectives. Emotional upsets or surprises may arise – especially around water, weather, or emotional flooding. Be mindful of shifting dynamics.

 

25:19 – Monday’s word is STREAMLINE. We are encouraged to share insights and connect emotionally. Tensions may arise around beloved books, words, or values. Censorship or limitations on art and voice could be in the news.

 

26:49 – Tuesday's is ELIMINATE. A chapter closes and a new one begins. Collective grief or emotional overwhelm may surface. People may feel angry or betrayed by lost services or dreams.

 

28:52 – Wednesday's is WHISTLE. It’s a day to honor joy and movement while recognizing the limitations around you. Dance in the rain, metaphorically or literally.

29:37 – Thursday's word is TWISTER. Wounding, chaos, and sudden disruption are in the air. Communication may twist and turn; fiery outbursts are possible. Weather events or emotional storms may headline.

 

31:16 – Friday's is BILLS. Financial truths or power struggles come to the surface. Conversations around love, money, and values are revisited. It's a karmic reckoning day: What debts, literal or energetic, are due?

 

33:30 – On Saturday, the word is OOPSIE. Sensitive wounds around identity, safety, or leadership may be triggered. We may feel grounded, but be cautious with sharp tools or tempers. Mistakes happen; own them while learning and laughing.
