Routines are meant to be broken — really. Even if change doesn’t excite you, you’re learning just how important it is to be honest with yourself when a habit or practice feels stale, boring, or draining. What do you have to gain by approaching your schedule or to-do list in a way that doesn’t actually feel good? If you want your days to feel more energizing and more true to you, shake things up.

You’re committing to your roots, including the places you call home and the people you call family. Chances are this hasn’t been easy. You’ve had to be honest with yourself about what helps you feel nourished and what drains you. If you’ve had to practice setting firmer boundaries in your space or having tricky conversations with kin, give yourself extra compassion. This process can’t be rushed.

Give yourself some grace. Watch a movie you know absolutely nothing about. Make a meal without a recipe and clash flavors just for fun.

The right people won’t get the ick when you get real. They’ll meet you there (with blankets and snacks). With the planet of love in the sign of deep feeling and intuition, your 1:1 dynamics are asking you to soften, not retreat behind a hard shell. Break up with the idea that relationships must be perfectly “figured out” to be secure. They just need care and emotional availability, even if that makes you feel vulnerable. So drop the poker face and bring all your feelings to the table.
