It’ll be harder for initiating brand new things, so the focus is on working through what’s already in motion.

• Potential Challenges: Lingering tension from yesterday, wasted effort on new plans, frustration with lack of traction

Thursday things start to move more smoothly. While there is a sense of momentum and support, there’s instability under the surface. Fortunately, that instability leans productive and is more likely to show you what’s possible or needs to be fixed than just causing pure chaos.

• Potential Challenges: Overestimating questionable opportunities, ignoring small cracks, mistaking instability for lasting progress

Friday things go back to feeling kind of normal as the planetary antics start to settle. There’s steady momentum but communication could be a little direct or confrontational.
