Although it’s not quite your time of year yet, you can already feel the excitement. Instead of seeing obstacles, you see possibilities. Rather than thinking about the hard work ahead, you are visualizing your destination as if you have already arrived. However, there is a little problem: your current tendency to avoid the more challenging aspects of what’s happening can quickly land you in a heap of trouble. Prevent problems by slowing down and thinking before you act.

Although the finish line may be in sight, you know better than to break out in an unrestrained sprint. Fortunately, your tendency to conserve energy is wise, for a trick of light could make your goal appear much closer than it actually is. There’s no reason to be discouraged today; just set a pace that you can keep up for a while because the marathon isn’t quite over yet.

Someone may be putting you up on a pedestal today, but it’s not a good idea to buy into this false superiority. Instead of seeing yourself as top dog, let go of any attachment you might have to exercising authority. You’ll be much happier if you are a willing participant in a group activity than if you fight to be in charge. Sharing responsibility now will work out better for all involved.

You may not be happy about being forced out of your shell today, but others are looking to you for guidance and it’s wise to share your perspective. Still, you’re reluctant to push your ideas onto others and might wish that you didn’t have to take on new responsibilities now. Thankfully, your current service will be rewarded if you don’t get carried away with your own power.

Success will be yours today if you can strike a sensible balance between your grandiose plans and the actual limitations of the current circumstances. Unfortunately, it’s all too easy to get so enthused with such big ideas that you end up spreading yourself too thin and falling short of your expectations. Even if you have high hopes, you’ll accomplish more by moderating your ambitions. Make quality, not quantity, your primary goal.

Partnerships continue to be a major focus now, but the dynamics of a current relationship could grow more complex as the balance of power begins to shift. You may be so enamored with the potential of working with such an optimistic person that you give up more control than is necessary. Or, perhaps, you are too quick to trust someone who hasn’t yet earned your respect. Opportunities abound today, but don’t forget to use your common sense when choosing which ones to pursue.

Someone may come along today with an intriguing idea and a convincing sales pitch. However, you could be so eager for an adventure that you say yes before you even know all the details. Keep in mind that you are more susceptible now to a story that’s built on big dreams and blue sky. Check your facts twice before jumping onto someone else’s bandwagon or you might waste time running down a dream that isn’t even yours.

You may have had a recent break from your regular routine. Now, however, you’re eager to get back into the swing of things and reestablish a daily regimen. Instead of repeating a pattern of constantly chasing deadlines, look at this time as an opportunity to change the rules of the game so you can get ahead of the curve. You have more power than you realize, and it just may be time to flex your muscles.

It’s not easy to contain your enthusiasm today as the Moon joins your key planet Jupiter in impulsive Aries. You don’t want to wait for the red light to change to green; you’re ready to hit the gas pedal right now. Unfortunately, moving too fast can lessen your chances for success. Over the next few weeks you have an incredible opportunity to do something that’s significant while also having fun. Push ahead with cautious determination instead of flying by the seat of your pants.

You have your sights set high today, but the Sun’s anxious quincunx to karmic Saturn may raise your concerns about being unprepared for what’s ahead. Instead of wishing that you had worked harder in the past or gone further with your schooling, consider what you can do now that will impact your career later on. Just remember that maintaining a positive attitude in the present can help to create the solid foundation required for a stellar future.

You might not have a lot of downtime today because you’re trying to pack so much into your life right now. Unfortunately, you could run into a stone wall if you’re not paying attention to how much energy you are expending. Don’t wait for a reality check to stop you in your tracks. Slowing down voluntarily not only increases your pleasure in the present moment, it will also help you accomplish more than you thought possible.

You might expect your motivation to lag today because the Moon leaves Pisces very early this morning. However, you are more likely to feel a powerful boost of energy, even if you are faced with a tricky situation. Don’t make the mistake of believing that you can overcome an obstacle now by sheer force. Instead, take your time and slowly build on what you’ve already started.
