Either way, Mars’ job is to give you the swagger you deserve. It’s time to go hard or go home. Still, the month goes out with a bang as a game changing Lunar Eclipse in Leo lights up your zone work, habits, and health. Look to this eclipse to motivate you to take better care of your health and to establish a better work-life balance. If your schedule has been unstructured and all over the place or if you’ve been burning the candle for too long at both ends, this eclipse will demand that you make some changes. It’s time for a detox.
