You may believe that your imagination can conjure up a wonderful future, but you could be misleading yourself today. It’s true that your fantasies might actually guide you along your way, but your intentions must be grounded in reality or they will remain as castles in the air. Although disappointment occurs if you set unrealistic goals, practical seeds should grow into the nourishing fruits of your labor.

Someone might mislead you today, yet it could be your over-eagerness to reach your goals that steers you wrong. Perhaps you misinterpret a message you receive based upon what you want to believe. If the truth comes out, don’t waste time being discouraged. Instead, be thankful that you discovered what’s happening and make whatever adjustments are necessary to put yourself back on track.

You could feel the stress that arises from trying to balance your playful nature with a more serious side of life today. For example, your attraction to a one-on-one partnership might conflict with your fear of being too vulnerable. Or, perhaps, your parenting skills may be challenged as dynamics at home go through unexpected changes. In any case, it’s helpful to acknowledge the truth and take the high road whenever possible.

Family matters are still a central focus now, even if your role at home has already undergone dramatic change. You could be taking yourself very seriously these days, but it feels as if your load is lighter today. Unexplored alternatives are being put in your path, but this still may not liberate you from previous obligations. Instead of worrying about what to do, express what’s in your heart — even if you don’t know where it will lead.

You may be facing an uncomfortable situation that has you wondering about the validity of your role at home or within your community. Don’t lose touch with your feelings, even if you are more analytical than usual when it comes to forming your conclusions now. Although your head and your heart might be in conflict, it’s still a wise idea to keep them in balance without favoring either one over the other.

You may think that your life is heading in the right direction now that progressive Mars is in your sign. But you’re also aware that your foundations are built on your beliefs and, perhaps, they are not as firm as you would prefer. But don’t let fear convince you to hold on to your current assumptions just because what you know is more comforting than what you don’t yet understand. Embracing the unknown is scary at first, but it enables you to be open to the potential gains ahead.

You might be so moved by someone’s story that you have to avoid further conversation to prevent yourself from getting too emotional. Thankfully, your imagination isn’t restrained today by the facts alone; you’re able to envision a more positive scenario, allowing you to paint an optimistic picture instead of just passively responding to someone’s current problems. Be courageous and inspire others with your passionate dreams of change.

It’s challenging to balance your desire for meaningful social interaction with other people’s preferences that you don’t take everything so seriously. Nevertheless, it isn’t just business as usual these days and you’re not interested in faking lightheartedness just to satisfy someone else’s needs. Don’t hesitate to say yes to an intriguing invitation if you think getting together with like-minded individuals might provide a safe container for interesting conversation.

It’s difficult to know what’s real as your fantasies flood your imagination today. Ironically, others may not realize that you’re on a mental holiday because they see a more practical side of you that shows up to take care of business. Fortunately, it doesn’t require much effort to meet your obligations now, so you can continue to gain inspiration from your inner world while simultaneously making progress in your outer world.

Your self-doubt could quickly grow out of hand today if you believe that you’re not on the right path. However, you should be able to refocus your energy by drawing from your deep reserve of willpower. Be bold and imagine your future just as you want it to unfold. But don’t expect your dreams to become real unless you’re prepared to work hard and focus your attention on one simple task at a time.

Since you could spend time drifting in and out of your fantasies today, at least make a concerted effort to discern your hopeful dreams from what’s actually happening. It is a magical gift to be able to enhance reality with all your favorite colors, but your cosmetic treatment won’t last, leaving you disillusioned at the end of the day. Be grateful that you can escape from the mundane world for a while, but remember to return to earth so you can gain the satisfaction of meeting your obligations as well.

The Sun’s square to elusive Neptune blurs the facts in your world today, challenging you to find enough useful data to make a smart decision about your long-term goals. But your future is so colored by your feelings that you cannot see what’s truly out there. Nevertheless, daydreaming is a key to unlocking the possibilities of the present moment. Set aside a specific time when you can lose yourself in your fantasies without feeling guilty.
