This week in astrology

The Full Moon in Taurus illuminates comfort, security, self-worth and the body. With the Sun opposite in Scorpio, it asks what you truly own and what owns you. Stubborn attachments may come to light now, gently asking to be loosened.

Take a bowl of salt and hold your hands above it. Name what you are ready to let go of — a habit, a possession, an old fear about never having enough. Then name three things you are grateful for, and bury a written note of thanks in the garden or a plant pot.

The Sun and Pluto collide, and control becomes the theme of the week. Some people push, others resist, and emotions run intense. Don't get pulled into power games. Hold your ground calmly and choose where your energy goes. What you refuse to carry any longer is the real victory here.

Arguments flare easily with Mercury and Mars at odds. People interrupt, rush and misread each other. My advice this week: count to ten before you hit send. Put the fire into exercise or into a journal you never show anyone. Sharp minds win more when they stay calm.
