What's your horoscope this week?

This week will be for tying up loose ends, wrapping up work and reflecting on what you want to commit to next. You may be lower energy over the next few days in the lead up to Friday’s new moon in Scorpio. This new moon will be a time of looking within and considering any emotions you may need to heal, as well as how you can improve upon certain aspects of yourself. You might want to cut ties with patterns or mindsets that you’ve outgrown and are holding you back. You may also be searching for a deeper connection, both in your relationships and the work that you do. Once the new moon passes, you will likely have greater clarity on what goals you want to pursue, as well as different habits or opportunities you may want to invite into your life.
