Introduction
Today, the Moon in Scorpio stirs deep emotions and transformation, while Saturn’s retrograde in Pisces whispers lessons of patience, boundaries, and spiritual renewal. The ancestors speak through the rivers and the night sky: reflect, heal, and let wisdom guide your path. Here are today’s messages from Nonyane ya Metsi, the Bird of the Water.

Your fire pushes you forward, but Saturn slows your steps. This is no curse; it is a gift. Use this pause to refine your plans and temper your courage with wisdom. Nonyane ya Metsi says: Even the swiftest bird must rest on a branch before flying across the river. Today, patience is your shield.

Relationships and resources weigh on you. The Scorpio Moon urges you to release what no longer serves, so that true security can grow. Nonyane ya Metsi says: As cattle return safely to the kraal, so must your spirit return to what is safe and nourishing. Choose roots over restlessness today.

Your words are powerful today, carrying the weight of healing or harm. Conversations can mend rifts if you choose honesty over trickery. Nonyane ya Metsi says: At the fireside, a story can unite a village or divide it. Let your tongue be guided by kindness.

Your home and heart are under the Moon’s watch. Protect your energy and care for yourself first; without this, your care for others will falter. Nonyane ya Metsi says: The calabash must be filled before it quenches another’s thirst. Rest, and let renewal flow into you.

Your roar is mighty, but Saturn humbles your pride. True leadership is measured in service, not show. Nonyane ya Metsi says: A lion without a pride is only a wanderer. Lead with duty and compassion, and your strength will echo through the ages.

Your need for order is heightened. The day calls for planning and steady action. You may not see results yet, but clarity grows quietly. Nonyane ya Metsi says: The healer gathers herbs with patience. Each leaf has its time; so does your harvest of wisdom.

Balance is your gift. Today, relationships require your diplomacy and sense of fairness. Avoid extremes and walk the middle path. Nonyane ya Metsi says: The drumbeat must guide both the fast and the slow dancer. Harmony will keep you in rhythm with others.

The Moon in your sign makes your emotions powerful, sometimes overwhelming. But this intensity is your gift: it transforms shadows into light. Nonyane ya Metsi says: The river carves even the hardest stone. Trust your depth, and let change create the new path ahead.

Adventure calls to you, but Saturn counsels restraint. Explore through learning, spiritual practice, or visioning today rather than rushing outward. Nonyane ya Metsi says: The horizon is not only in the distance—it is also in the elder’s words. Seek wisdom before the road.

Responsibilities feel heavy, but you are built for endurance. Honour your commitments but know that asking for help does not make you weak. Nonyane ya Metsi says: The mountain does not move when the winds rage. Stand steady, but let the rivers at your feet remind you to bend when needed.

Your ideas sparkle with innovation, but the cosmos asks you to refine them before taking bold steps. Nonyane ya Metsi says: The blacksmith tempers iron with care, shaping it with patience. Let your vision be forged slowly into strength.

With Saturn retrograde in your sign, boundaries and spirituality demand attention. Protect your energy, but also trust your natural flow. Nonyane ya Metsi says: The fisherman knows when to cast and when to pull back. Wisdom is found in timing as much as effort.

Closing Blessing
Today the waters ripple with memory, and the stars shimmer with direction. Walk gently, listen deeply, and remember: the bird that drinks from the river also carries the sky on its wings.
