Every emotional signal is amplified. Use that intelligence to navigate the politics nobody else sees. Trust what your gut is saying. It has the data your head is missing.
Not a day for big emotional moves, Cancer. Sunday's solar energy illuminates everything. What is hidden becomes visible. What is strong becomes radiant. Step out of the background.

The responsibility feels heavy but it builds something. Do not delegate the hard conversation today. Have it yourself. Separate what you feel from what is actually happening.
