Aries It may be a bit of a struggle to acknowledge your feelings because they could get in the way of your original plan. Fortunately, you have the strength now to handle some very intense self-examination that can bring your career objectives into greater focus. But the real lesson today isn’t about professional success; it’s about balancing your work with relationships that bring more meaning into your life.  |

Taurus You could be so convinced that you’re heading in the right direction now that you’re surprised if something happens to make you reconsider your previous decision. This is not the best time to wield your infamous bull-headed stubbornness or you could short circuit the current process of discovery. Remain open to information that you recently dismissed as unimportant. Don’t be afraid of the truth; it really can set you free. |

Gemini Although others may believe that you are more interested in lighthearted banter and clever one-liners, you are determined to get to the bottom of a mystery today. You are completely focused on uncovering the hidden story because you think that what you learn now can have a positive impact on your relationships. Don’t worry about what anyone else thinks; trusting your instincts will lead you to the truth. |

Cancer You are often able to hide your feelings if you aren’t comfortable expressing them in a particular situation, but you might not have the luxury of making such a choice today. Even if you say nothing, others will know that you’re avoiding something important. An interaction with a close friend or partner can get very intense if he or she presses you on a subject you don’t want to talk about. Resistance may be futile; additionally, you’ll probably feel relief once you spill the beans. |

Leo If you become fixated on a fantasy today, it’s difficult to get it out of your mind. This obsessive thinking can be problematic if it distracts you from your responsibilities. But turning into a workaholic isn’t any better, especially if you are trying to avoid a difficult personal issue. Even if you don’t feel as if you’re fully in control, moderating your extreme reactions will make your life more manageable. |

Virgo You are known to be critical in your analysis of a situation and today your mental acuity is turned toward creative endeavors. Your key planet Mercury joins incisive Pluto in your 5th House of Self-Expression, intensifying your relationships and sharpening the edge of your messages. Choose your words carefully, for everything you say will carry the extra weight of passion. Ultimately, it’s more useful to put the energy of your emotions directly into your work. |
|
 |
Libra You aren’t comfortable letting others at work know how you feel today. Perhaps you believe that they won’t be able to handle your honesty — and maybe you are right. But you must examine the emotional price you will pay if you try to protect someone else from your observations. Overcome your fear of telling the truth by acknowledging that it’s not your job to filter out difficult subjects for anyone else. |
|
 |
Scorpio You are at home with today’s emotional intensity, but this doesn’t mean that everyone else is. You may be the catalyst that starts a reaction, making others wary of your presence. But attempting to avoid your true feelings or watering them down to make them more palatable is an unacceptable strategy. You don’t have to dwell on the dark side, but others are counting on you to tell it like it is. |
|
 |
Sagittarius Your normally outgoing nature mixes with today’s brooding intensity like oil and water. You aren’t willing to let go of your optimism; you have exciting plans and you’re eager to head out on life’s next great adventure. However, nothing is going to be as simple and straightforward as you expected. Instead of letting emotional negativity stand between you and happiness, let go of your previous expectations. Positive results cannot occur while you’re stoically holding onto the past. |
|
 |
Capricorn You aren’t humored by someone’s emotional disclosure today; in fact, you are tempted to walk away from an uncomfortable conversation before it really begins. However, when pushed into a corner, you’ll be able to find your inner resolve and stand up to anyone who is blocking your progress. There’s no holding you back now as long as you’re willing to tell the whole truth and nothing but the truth. |
|
 |
Aquarius You are able to quietly go about your business today, without attracting a lot of attention. It’s almost as if the radar system that’s been tracking your progress has stopped functioning. But don’t think you can use the day to play hooky; your invisibility cloak only works when you are attending to your responsibilities. Just do what’s expected of you now with the understanding that your rewards will have to wait. |
|
 |
Pisces You are usually quite comfortable negotiating your way through confusing territory, but current circumstances may push you to your limit. You aren’t interested in frivolity and fantasy today; instead you want your friends and co-workers to be brutally honest with you. Unfortunately, the full truth may not be forthcoming. Instead of filling in the gaps with your fertile imagination, work only with the actual information in front of you. Sticking to the facts is your wisest strategy for now. |
–>Our thoughts take us into the shadows today as messenger Mercury conjuncts passionate Pluto. However, current issues are not new ones, since Mercury joined Pluto on December 5 and again on December 13, during its retrograde phase. We now have an opportunity to face our fears and overcome any previous resistance. Thankfully, the cautious Cancer Moon enables us to maintain appropriate boundaries as we move through this emotionally transformational time.
