That might very well be the work of the sun beginning its journey through partnership-oriented Libra, intimacy-seeking Scorpio, and philosophical Sagittarius over the course of this annual chapter that’s tailored to building our bonds and leaning into the thinning veil between the physical realm and the spiritual world. At the same time, as the days get shorter and darker, it’s easier to feel drained and burned out. That said, self-care becomes even more crucial in…
