The detail-oriented energy of this lunation asks you to take a microscope to your own heart, Aquarius. What veiled truths, existential fears, and energetic entanglements are hiding in plain sight, subconsciously camouflaged into the surface of your life? Strip away your old programming and be willing to adjust your personal boundaries to suit your needs.
You prefer to float through the fluffy world of fantasy than face the cold hard facts of reality, Pisces—especially when it comes to relationships.

Honor the bonds that support your wellness and untangle yourself from those that suck your energy.
