Apologizing doesn’t come easy to you, yet it’s critical to find a way to overcome your resistance to being wrong. It’s healthy now to admit that you still may have a bit of growing to do. However, it’s not enough to just say the proper words and think that you’re off the hook. You have to feel it from the heart — and getting in touch with your emotions requires you to slow down and listen to what’s going on beneath the ongoing noise of your life.

You want to concentrate on the good news today rather than focusing on your feelings of insecurity or vulnerability. You are able to project an upbeat attitude and confident self-image now, even if you’re silently concerned about something you aren’t sharing. Your worries may be valid, but you’ll only make matters worse if you believe that you can handle your problems without involving someone you love.

You might talk up a storm today, but being chatty is a useful way to cover up your emotional insecurity. You may not have as much self-confidence as others think, but you can rest assured that your feelings will settle down, even if your return to normalcy takes a few more days. If your moods are unstable now, saying less should enable you to be more truthful about anything that’s really important to you.

You may be stirring up your own trouble today by imagining that people aren’t telling you the whole story. Your fears can be magnified if others have little or nothing to say, but it could be your own emotional reserve that encourages them to act similarly. Rather than asking lots of questions to show your interest, take a risk and share a bit about your own personal history first. Your openness might be exactly what is necessary to get the conversation flowing.

One of the ways you can acknowledge the Sun passing out of your sign and into service-centered Virgo is to let go of any self-centered feelings. Naturally, it’s important to have enough confidence to successfully begin a new project. But too much focus on yourself isn’t the healthiest thing right now. Disperse some of the imbalance by shifting your attention to your friends and associates. Ultimately, it’s more efficient and fun to work as equals, even if you are technically running the show.

Someone may try to convince you that you’re doing the right thing, but you’re not so sure about it. Part of your predicament is that you can waver on nearly any decision today, possibly creating chaos in your schedule. Don’t let your self-judgment run the show; instead, seek to understand how everyone else sees you now. Envisioning yourself as part of the big picture can help to reduce any temporary feelings of isolation.

You may be under the illusion that whatever you create now is artistically sound, even if it’s not of practical value. Nevertheless, it’s silly to waste energy trying to justify what you’ve done based on what you believe someone will say after you’re finished. Even if you receive harsh criticism later, you can still learn from your current experience. The best way to discover what you can do is to simply do it.

You’re usually not interested in messing around with shallow conversations or activities that sidetrack you from more meaningful interactions. Today is no exception with the Moon’s visit to your 8th House of Deep Sharing encouraging you to experience the full intensity of life. Ironically, you might not want to get your hands dirty in the process now that the Sun is in fussy Virgo. Keep in mind that exerting emotional control to tidy up an uncomfortable situation could ultimately turn it into exactly what you’re attempting to avoid.

Although you may be rather even-tempered today, a friend or partner can get under your skin, eventually provoking you to snap. Be smart and don’t try to hide your annoyance because it’s more disruptive if you bury it. Your feelings won’t take avoidance or denial as a viable strategy now. Express your frustration calmly; everyone will feel better once the air has been cleared.

You don’t want to let your feelings stand in the way of your ambitions, but your fantasies can lead you down a dead-end strategy today if you don’t pay attention to the facts. Thankfully, you can negate your unrealistic expectations by asking questions and then listening carefully to the feedback you receive. Integrating critical information now can increase your efficiency at work while helping you to be more realistic in the long run.

Others tend to see you as less practical than you really are now. Although you yearn for the ideal rather than the reality because you want everything to be beautiful, there are limits to your daydreams. An imaginative view of the world based on obsessive thinking isn’t necessarily helpful, so don’t get so wrapped up in your own thoughts that you miss what’s right in front of your nose. Deal with the truth today rather than waiting until after the damage is done.

You are eager to handle a difficult situation by swinging into action right away, even if you don’t have a practical plan in mind yet. Although you may not be the impulsive type, your idealism can inspire you to react today without thinking about the consequences. Nevertheless, you are wise to reevaluate your options prior to committing to any one path. Postpone the most critical decisions until you have had sufficient time to consider where your current strategy will take you.
