Disagreements accelerate as a few choice words add fuel to the fire. Even silence will be misunderstood as the silent treatment. Can you talk your way out of it all?

General Meaning: There is a turning point that recharges you and eventually brings success. This hexagram is associated with a turning back of long nights towards more light, the winter solstice, the shortest day of the year, the seasonal change when our hours of daily light begin to increase again. This is the beginning of a turnaround; a time of letting go of the old and making way for the new; a time of new beginnings. Ironically, it all starts with rest.
Don’t move too fast. The new momentum is just beginning; the turn-around demands that your energy be recharged by adequate rest, so that your life force will not be spent prematurely. This principle of hibernation, of allowing energy to renew itself and be strengthened by rest applies to many situations — recuperation after an illness, the slow return of trust after period of estrangement, the careful development of new relationships after a splitting apart of old ones.
Physical work around the house and family matters capture your attention today. You’re part of and privy to serious conversations, and may be feeling physically vulnerable. Dress comfortably and eat well today, taking special care not to overindulge. An office romance may blossom today.
About the Number 6
Today’s Tarot Card for Everyone:
Temperance
This Tarot Deck: Golden Tarot
Metals must undergo extremes of temperature, folding and pounding, but the end product is infinitely superior to impure ore mined from the earth. In this image, the soul volunteers the ego for a cleansing and healing experience which may turn the personality inside-out, but which brings out the gold hidden within the heart. (This card is entitled “Art” in the Crowley deck.)

You are ready to go out and have fun today, but you might be a bit detached from what actually happens. Ironically, you know what you want, but may not care all that much if you actually get it. Remaining open to the difference between your wishes and the events of the day can be healthy, but don’t be so disconnected that you are in denial of your emotions. Acknowledging your feelings is a crucial part of your long-term happiness.

You know what you want to say to those around you, but you might choose to minimize the intensity of your current feelings. Part of the problem is that you’re connected with your dreams, and you don’t want to justify yourself to anyone else now. Acting as if you’re emotionally detached gives you a bit more freedom. Just keep in mind that it also takes work to avoid getting hooked on your desires.

You are looking forward to beginning something new in the days ahead, but you first have to finalize your plans. Acting impulsively won’t be sufficient; this isn’t just about doing something for fun. The Moon’s entry into your 9th House of Adventure reflects your current need to expand your horizons. Don’t settle for the easy way out; creating a sound strategy can be your key to accomplishing your goals.

You are emotionally nurtured by the physical closeness of your loved ones, yet now you might feel resistant to someone’s advances. Your current retreat probably isn’t about fearing intimacy; instead, it’s more likely about your goal to become more independent. Stepping out beyond your comfort zone is healthy as long as you don’t alienate your loyal allies in the process.

A weird conversation with a close friend or partner today could reveal more information than you think you need to know. You might be uncomfortable because you aren’t certain how to respond to what you learn. Keep in mind that you don’t have to control what’s happening, nor do you have to do anything about your new perspective. Take all the time you need before drawing your own conclusions.

You don’t want to do your routine chores in the same way as you have always done them. You are bored today and might attempt a different approach just to make your day more exciting. Don’t be concerned if something takes longer because of your unorthodox style. Time isn’t really being wasted, because you’re gaining valuable experience that can pay off in the near future.

You may want to spend time with a really good friend today because their enthusiasm is contagious and fun. You feel as if something is about to change and your life could suddenly become more intense. However, there’s no need to worry about being too busy later on; you’ll still find time to relax. Make a commitment to enjoy yourself no matter how the day plays out.

You may come close to losing your temper today if something at home doesn’t conform to your heart’s desire. It’s not that an unexpected exchange will catch you off guard; it’s just that you could be compulsive about how you want your day to unfold. Your current inflexibility can make you feel discouraged. It helps to be open to the natural fluidity of the moment. A total surprise may turn out much better than you expect.

There are many things to do and so many interesting people to see, but you may have packed one too many activities into a finite amount of time. Instead of simply enjoying the diversity, you could be distracted by the practical necessity of having to adhere to a tight calendar. Try canceling or even postponing a few appointments before it’s too late. Your weekend will be more enjoyable if you adopt a slower pace.

You’re eager to have a bit of time at home today, especially if a busy social calendar has kept you jumping throughout the past week. It’s healthy to reconsider what you want for yourself now, instead of just keeping up appearances and doing whatever’s expected of you. Maintaining your integrity is important. Set new boundaries and, within reason, do whatever makes you feel good.

You may be needier than usual today with the Moon visiting your sign. Unfortunately, your friends and family might not take care of you and you cannot realistically expect them to read your mind. You’ll be happier if you are open with your feelings and clearly communicate what you want, even if you have little chance for satisfaction. Be upfront and only participate in activities that will make you happy.

Although there are still opportunities available, you feel the weight of the world on your shoulders today. But your somber perspective is internal, so you might not want to burden others with your troubles. Fortunately, you are able to lighten your load by focusing on your ideal future and allowing the hope of your dreams to lift you beyond your current obligations.

The forward turn of the communication planet in pioneering Aries helps get projects off the ground and paves the way to making new connections. Delays caused by complications during the previous three-week retrograde period are finally ready to be overcome as we put the past behind us. However, when planets change directions they move very slowly at first, indicating the need to maintain a bit of patience even as our minds are racing ahead with anticipation of whatever comes next.
