Come from a place of healing, sweet Virgo. Aries energy governs your house of intimacy, transformation, and finances. With Chiron in this fire sign, you’ve been encouraged to hold space for others' visions and needs, not just your own.

It will all make sense, dear Libra. Chiron has been moving through Aries in your house of love since 2019. On Friday, you were asked to confront the patterns and cycles in your romantic life that are no longer serving your highest good.
Oftentimes, the relationship you feel that you can’t end is one that you need to do precisely that. Be mindful of toxic feelings that tie your life to another person, as that isn’t what defines healthy love.
Scorpio
