Summary：A shaky-feeling morning aligns unexpectedly with the Ten of Pentacles reversed, market jitters, and a Metal-day almanac, all suggesting a slowdown and reassessment. With a waning crescent Scorpio moon adding emotional depth, the day becomes a gentle reminder to stay grounded through small, simple actions.

- Grounding through small daily actions
This morning felt slightly off-kilter, the way days sometimes do even before anything happens. I pulled the Ten of Pentacles reversed with my coffee, and it immediately gave me that “take a look at your foundations” feeling. Not panic — more like when your house creaks and you’re not sure if it’s the wind or something settling.
Then I checked the news (bad habit, I know), and of course the markets were sliding again. Crypto too. It all lined up a little too neatly with the card, which made me laugh because life loves its little coincidences.
I checked the Chinese almanac out of curiosity, and apparently today’s a Metal day. Good for clearing debts and planning; not ideal for big investments. Honestly it felt like permission to slow down, which I didn’t know I needed until I read it.
The moon’s in its waning crescent phase, moving through Scorpio — which always hits me as a “deep clean but for your feelings” sort of energy. Maybe that’s why the day feels softer but also strangely emotional.
Color of the day is deep blue. I didn’t plan it, but I ended up wearing navy anyway.
There’s a lot happening in the world, and some of the headlines today were heavier than usual. I’ve been trying to stay grounded — small things help. Water the plants. Respond to a text I ignored all week. Make lunch instead of skipping it.
Not every day needs a big revelation. Today felt more like a reminder: take care of the basics, check in with yourself, and don’t rush.
