Notice where you have been afraid to turn on the flashlight in your own basement. Let curiosity guide you rather than fear. What do you need to see more clearly about your desires, debts, and power dynamics? Collective guidance: Hidden stories are being scouted out. Think of the Buffalo Bill image from Silence of the Lambs – the light flipping on in the dark. Media, investigators, and everyday people may shine lamps into systems that prefer the shadows. Pay attention to what is being exposed around law, ethics, and the abuse of power in governments and institutions.    19:04 – Monday’s word is SEPARATION. Personal guidance: Separation does not always mean failure. You may feel tension in partnerships or disappointment that something is not turning out as you hoped. This is a day to clarify boundaries and expectations. Distance or a pause may be medicine rather than rejection. Collective guidance: We may see literal and symbolic separations – high-profile breakups, companies splitting, political factions pulling farther apart. The Grand Trine in Water with the Sun in Scorpio, Jupiter in Cancer, and Saturn in Pisces can bring emotional overwhelm. Reach out if you or someone you love seems lost in the tide. This is a day when phone calls, therapy, and crisis support can save lives.   21:55 – Tuesday's is BOMBSHELL. Personal guidance: Bombshell energy is in the air. Mars in Sagittarius in tense aspect to Jupiter in Cancer amplifies reactions, while Venus in Scorpio in friction with Neptune in Pisces can expose secrets about money, sex, or loyalty. Surprising truths may drop into your lap. Commit to handling information with integrity rather than using it as a weapon. Collective guidance: Expect headlines about covert groups, shady finances, or exploitation coming to light. The Scorpio Moon squaring Saturn and Neptune in Pisces describes stories of bondage, deception, and systems that failed to protect vulnerable people. As Mercury reenters Scorpio at the 29th degree of crisis, voices of survivors and whistleblowers may rise. Listen closely, especially to the people whose stories were previously dismissed.    23:51 – Wednesday's is DISTRESS. Personal guidance: Distress does not mean you are powerless. Venus in Scorpio at a World Point trines the North Node in Pisces, while Mer
