We may find ourselves focused on tightening our belts, either literally or figuratively, early this week. It could feel like we’re paying the price for excess luxury, whether that means prior indulgences in food and libations, the way we’ve spent our money, or how we’ve procrastinated addressing an issue within a partnership. See how further accounting for just what it is that you truly value can help you to redefine how you allocate your assets and find a more fruitful formula when it comes to discovering a balance between experiencing pleasure now and experiencing it later.

Read MoreFrom an astrological perspective, this week I’ve got my eye on two things: the Sun/Mercury Conjunction and the Venus/Pluto Square. Below I share about them as well as my quick take on a current event—Giorgio Armani cancelling his public fashion show in Milan—through an astrological lens.
