♒Aquarius
With the Full Moon in your sign, this is your annual personal checkpoint. It’s a moment to define what’s working in your identity, habits, and goals and what needs to be released.

Identify one tangible action you can take today that reflects where you’re headed, whether that’s a health habit, a wardrobe update, or a decision about your time. It’s about embodying the change, not just thinking about it.
♓Pisces
Your attention turns inward, toward rest, reflection, and quiet planning. While this may feel like a slower pace, it’s one of the most productive things you can do during this alignment. Sometimes in order to move faster, we have to slow it down. Set aside even a short window for undistracted thinking, journaling, or walking without your phone. The Full Moon can bring clarity around where you’ve been overcommitted and where you can pull back without guilt. This recalibration will help you approach the rest of the month with sharper focus.
