Scorpio (October 22 - November 21)

The full moon on the 12th puts a spotlight on your vulnerability. A full moon in your sign is always about big emotions so let the tears flow. Don’t forget to take a good look in the mirror, even through the tears, and remember what an absolute badass you are.

Instead of worrying about productivity, what if the radical shift is to rest?
