You may be adamant about making your impossible dream come true, and today nothing is totally out of the question. Your irrational fantasies might seem ridiculous to others, but you are fully capable of something extraordinary now if you can stay focused on your ambitions. Still, it’s healthier to concentrate on a future that has a strong practical side to it as well. Keeping your feet on the ground gives you the traction necessary to reach your destination.

You can feel the stress between your thoughts that pull you into new territory and your common sense that holds you exactly right where you are. Although you may be motivated by financial and emotional security, you can still be lured by an unfamiliar tune floating through your mind. Even if you are curious enough to explore a new melody, don’t stop listening to the songs that keep you grounded. You don’t have to go over the edge in order to keep progressing toward the future.

You could feel clever throughout the day, as if a magical potion somehow made you more intelligent. But don’t get so enamored with your ability to maneuver around any problem, for rational thinking can be a trap of its own. Instead of relying on cool logic, let your passions take you on a wild ride so you can see a different path into your future.

You may be tempted to withdraw into a world of fantasy, for your thoughts float into imaginative realms today, where you are not bound by reality. At the same time, you cannot get away from your close friends and family who keep bringing you back to the present moment, making it difficult for you to fully escape. Resign yourself to keeping one foot in this world and one in the other by balancing your dreams with the current circumstances.

You are able to consider the pros and cons of a partnership with an uncharacteristic coolness that makes it easier for you to see things differently. Personal and business connections are likely to be a source of anxiety, but don’t let this take you down a path of doubt. You can easily step outside of your normal subjectivity, which can give you a new perspective. Don’t make any sudden changes; just integrate what you are learning into what you already know.

You may be in the process of reviewing how to change your daily regimen for the year ahead, and creating a list might be right up your alley. Write down every tiny change that you can think of that could have an uplifting impact on your life.

You are brimming with ideas about which chores you should start today, but you still may try to avoid doing too much. Even if you initially planned to go to work, you might prefer to give yourself a real day off, instead. Then again, it’s even better if you can find a natural rhythm and get into a creative flow. Being productive is important on other days, but now it’s crucial to find an innovative way to express yourself playfully.

Your emotional intensity begins to settle down today, but you still are not that interested in hiding your gut reaction to a stressful family situation. You aren’t trying to seek melodrama, but neither are you willing to ignore the facts as you see them. Don’t worry so much about being nice to everyone; focus on sharing nothing but the truth, instead.

You prefer taking action when you are feeling more confident than you are today. Although you may intuitively know what’s right, it isn’t always the same as your logical choice. Making up your mind could be stressful now, unless you accept some uncertainty along with your decision. Determine what makes the most sense to the best of your ability and move on. You can always modify your position later on if absolutely necessary.

Trickster Mercury enters your 2nd House of Personal Belongings today, indicating that you might grow very concerned about what you own. You may even feel threatened, as if someone is attempting to take something important away from you. Don’t let your natural urge to protect what’s yours turn into paranoia. If you are anxious, discuss your worries with your friends, but remember to actually listen to the feedback you receive.

Logical Mercury enters your intellectual sign today, electrifying your conversations with clever wit and increasing your overall gift of gab. Talking your way out of a difficult situation is a mixed blessing now because it also increases the chances of getting yourself into trouble. Don’t get hooked by your own intelligence and act like a know-it-all. Even if you’re brilliant, you still have something to learn, just like everyone else.

You believe that your perceptions are very clear today, and, in fact, your senses may be acutely sensitive. But your imagination is also on overdrive and it’s difficult to know where objectivity fades into fantasy. The mists of illusion hide a slippery slope, yet you can avoid sliding off the edge of reality by consistently sticking to the absolute truth. Don’t tempt fate; there isn’t much wiggle room now, for your margin of error is quite small.
