You cannot control your enthusiasm when your key planet Mars squares optimistic Jupiter today. Self-restraint can be a problem for you even on a good day, but now it’s essential to steer clear of trouble. Even if you aren’t trying to live dangerously, you could promise the Moon and stars, only to get stuck on the launch pad. Don’t ruin a real opportunity by taking on too much.
You could inadvertently hurt someone’s feelings if you are overly critical today. You can imagine the possibilities, yet you also see the obstacles. This combination allows you to clearly point out where another person’s performance falls short of his or her potential. Don’t be so hard on everyone else; just keep doing whatever you can to lead by example.
You may be very busy today, but you would prefer to be relaxing. Your first impulse is to have fun now, yet you realize that the current temptations are testing you in many ways. Don’t give in to your inner child just because it sounds like a good idea in the moment; act maturely and do the responsible grown-up thing, instead. You’ll feel better about yourself if you do.
It isn’t easy to get a handle on your spending now with reckless Mars in your 2nd House of Money, especially if you’re thinking about purchasing something special. Consider what you really need before buying a luxury item that you cannot really afford. Unfortunately, an impulsive purchase may leave you feeling empty later on. Look beyond the material world now for a deeper fulfillment.
Naturally, you want others to see you at your best. However, you may take this concept a little too far today as irrepressible Mars in your 1st House of Appearances squares overindulgent Jupiter. Keep in mind that it will be more of a struggle if you don’t rein yourself in and underplay your position rather than grandstanding and trying to steal the spotlight. Don’t worry; you’ll have your time in the Sun on another day.
Although your dreams may be unrealistic with unstoppable Mars in your 12th House of Fantasy, you aren’t ready to give up on them yet. In fact, you may be very enthusiastic and believe that your thinking is clear, but you might not be aware of how much your own desires are influencing you now. Talk to your allies and ask them for feedback; however, make sure you listen to their valuable input.
Benevolent Jupiter in your 8th House of Shared Resources is being prodded by assertive Mars today, bringing the financial aspects of a current relationship to light. Someone might offer you a gift, but he or she will likely show up at some point to collect on a debt or far-fetched promise. If you don’t want to face disappointment down the road, don’t blow your expectations out of proportion. Being rational now will make life easier later.
It seems like the positive energy is returning, but you’re not sure if it’s smart to trust your optimistic feelings. You may still be smarting from a recent brush with authority, yet new ideas could now turn a previous setback to your advantage. Don’t worry about winning; just doing your absolute best is good enough.
You may go out of your way today to see both sides of a complex issue as your key planet Jupiter squares pushy Mars in your 9th House of Big Ideas. Unfortunately, this exercise in objectivity won’t necessarily bring you any closer to resolution. Thankfully, finding a solution now isn’t as important as you might think. Just getting all the hidden agendas out into the open is enough of a goal for one day.
You can see new benefits of having friends who actually support you and your work, and you’re eager to pursue these relationships now to expand your professional ambitions. Nevertheless, it still might take you by surprise when someone goes out of his or her way to help you today, without seeking anything in return. Rather than resisting assistance and acting as if you are self-sufficient, graciously accept their help with a smile.
Your apparent playfulness can push someone else’s buttons if he or she thinks you’re not carrying your fair share of the load today. Meanwhile, you may believe that you are doing more than your part. If others complain about your lack of effort, your first impulse might be to purposefully slow down in finishing your tasks. However, don’t let an ego battle cover up the underlying problem. Show courage and resolve to get to the bottom of the issue instead of just taking the easy way out.
Taking on a lot of tasks today is one way to impress others at first, but your scheme can fall apart quickly if you don’t complete enough of what you start. Fortunately, you can break down a large task into many smaller components now and then focus on each one separately. Although a big job may be overwhelming, it’s not so bad if you take it one piece at a time.
