SCORPIO

Things may seem boring to you right now with nothing sparking interest. Your mind may be floating in and out of conversations while you wait for what lies ahead. Find inspiration amongst those you appreciate and seek avenues you would not have expected to enjoy.

You are feeling motivated to get work done. With your mind craving routine, take this opportunity to implement the habits you desire. Possibilities are endless in this period of your life. Take advantage of your mood and the lessons you have learned. This is your time to create new practices that may make your days brighter.

The last few months have taken a huge toll on your well-being and life in general. As a result, you may be experiencing heightened levels of exhaustion and a lack of motivation. Take a break from the stressors in your life, whether they are related to academics, relationships or other factors.
