The potent triangle between Venus in Scorpio, Mars in Cancer, and Saturn retrograde in Pisces continues today. The water-heavy influence of this celestial alignment increases feelings of flexibility and intuition. But be careful, stargazer. Left to its own devices, this free-form attitude can quickly devolve into instability and hypersensitivity. Still, generally speaking, this triple trine brings positivity and good fortune. As Saturn retrograde calls us to tackle unsavory but necessary obligations, Mars offers motivation and Venus, extra emotional and financial bandwidth. The stars’ message is clear: trust your gut, then go with the flow.
