Sudden surges of energy can catch you off guard today, yet you may attempt to suppress your new ideas, especially if you are already feeling insecure. Something tells you to shake everything up by putting your radical plan in motion. Nevertheless, it doesn’t seem worth the risk. Trusting your intuition is the smartest thing you can do now. If your concept is worthwhile, it will still be valid in a few days.

You are feeling somewhat smug today because you already know an important piece of information that others have yet to discover. Your friends might be buzzing around, trying to finish everything right away, but you realize that everyone has more time than they think to wrap things up. Keep in mind that you can’t make anyone else see the truth, but you can put it to work for yourself.

You could get so worked up today that you ride roughshod over those around you unless you stop and think first. It’s challenging to see what’s really happening because your healthiest options could be obscured by your desire to succeed at your current task. Don’t lose your natural gift of flexibility; be ready to change direction when new possibilities appear.

A casual interaction with someone today may start off simply and eventually turn into a tangled web of emotions. Fortunately, you might feel supported by a close friend, which makes the whole thing worthwhile. Remember, extreme gestures won’t likely have the impact you want. Rein in your actions and concentrate on small victories, instead of worrying about things you cannot change.

It seems as if others are encouraging you to go in a direction that’s not your preference, but resisting their efforts can raise additional issues. Nevertheless, being overly agreeable to minimize conflict won’t work. You must make a stand now, even if you create some ripples. Stick to specific details; discussing general concepts will only weaken your position today.

You might try to accomplish more than is possible today, but you believe that it’s all manageable as long as you organize your thoughts first. Luckily, you have a natural gift for making lists, but now you could benefit from filling in more details than usual. Working hard throughout the day should bring positive results, but additional preparation makes you even more successful.

You might be able to tap into a vein of creativity this week with the radiant Sun and expressive Mars visiting your 5th House of Self-Expression. Don’t be concerned about the outcome; just get started and let the inner artist or musician take over. Ultimately, it’s not about what you produce; it’s about how passionate you feel during the act of creation.

Your current ability to juggle cool intellectual detachment and passionate emotional involvement might confuse everyone else today, but you can navigate through complicated interpersonal dynamics with the greatest of ease. You may appear as graceful as a dancer, but you still must manage your intensity wisely. Thankfully, you can accomplish a lot if you don’t let your attention wander away from what’s most important.

If you are looking forward to a quiet weekend, you may be sorely disappointed. You might be able to manage the noise level for a while, but everything can quickly grow out of hand. Don’t bother trying to resist the distracting waves of incoming energy, for the diversions can be interesting and fun. Give yourself permission to surrender to the excitement. You can always rest later on.

You may be feeling grouchy today, as if you woke up on the wrong side of the bed. You aren’t very happy with the current circumstances, yet your critical assessment may be out of place now. Taking a more fluid position will help you find the right way to express yourself. Sometimes all you need to do is let others know that you’re thinking about them. Anyway, frowning requires much more effort than smiling, so relax and enjoy the present moment as much as you can.

You may be feeling the pressure to finish a project that has been delayed for too long. Now, however, you are running out of valid excuses. But this isn’t the only reason to jump in and get the job done. It’s true that sometimes procrastination really does serve a purpose. But you can’t avoid the inevitable forever; you’ll feel much better after you cross this task off your list.

Although you are being told to finish up your chores before doing anything else, this can still be a great day for a brief escape. Instead of attempting to take time off to go sunning on a tropical island retreat, do something small like going to a concert or visiting an art exhibit. Treat yourself by setting aside some personal time for a special experience, even if your break can’t last all that long.
