Happy birthday for Saturday, June 17, 2023. The cosmic weather for Saturday offers us some warm, friendly vibes, which can be good for hanging out with friends or enjoying some local entertainment. With a new moon happening late tonight, there could also be some sleepy energy in the air, as we gear up for the next lunar cycle. As such, it might be a good idea to keep our schedule light, so we don’t tire ourselves out. Since Saturn, the planet connected to work and responsibility, begins its four-month retrograde today, we’re encouraged to reassess our commitments and obligations.
