Rabbit, your life gets so much better the moment you decide to rebuild aspects of it that aren’t working. You’ve been in survival mode for so long, and to be fair, it’s worked really well for you up to a point. But on Thursday, you realize that you can actually do certain things much better if you just take the time to pause and focus.
Everything is under review, from when you get up in the morning to how you do your workout routine. The point is, you are ready for life to improve by shaving off moments that drain your energy and rob you of time you could use elsewhere. July 16 turns out to be a really good day because you find them.

You love your freedom, and sometimes you don’t get to enjoy your life the way you normally would because of other people. You know there are lots of people who depend on you, and you try to take that into account when making your own schedule.
Rather than waiting for an opportunity to come to you on Thursday, you decide to take it yourself. Even if you just do a little staycation and do nothing but hang out in bed, life already feels better. Your goal, Horse, is to rest as much as possible and give your mind what it desperately needs.
