You may have a familiar sinking feeling today as you realize that your actions are not supporting your desires. It’s no fun to encounter this same dilemma again, yet you’re still tempted to take the path of denial by ignoring the message of your heart. Keep in mind that you will be happier once you stop long enough to listen to your emotions. Unfortunately, intuition isn’t useful if you keep overriding it with rational thoughts and empty justifications.

You could feel stuck behind a wall of worry as you hold on to old beliefs that aren’t relevant to your current situation. Nevertheless, you may still create convincing stories to justify your fears today. But self-doubt isn’t helpful and only increases your sense of isolation. Rather than looking back to the past, envision the future just as you wish to see it. Focusing on positive affirmations is smarter now than playing into a more negative outlook.

You don’t have to stay in constant motion today, even if you’re accustomed to running around. Although you may not be accomplishing much while moving at high speed, you could be pleasantly surprised with all you can get done just by slowing down. However, you might need to make other changes, too. Instead of trying to demonstrate your cleverness to everyone, listening more attentively will probably impress others more.

The Moon returns to your introspective sign today, increasing your sensitivity and making you more aware of your inner process. You’re finally able to find the right words to describe how you feel. However, being clear about your needs is complicated because your moods change often now. You may be happy one moment and sad the next, so it’s crucial to inform others that your disclosures are true, but your thinking is still in flux.

Events may take a turn for the better today, yet you’re reminded that everything still takes longer than you expect. You might end up feeling disappointed if you think that you can push the river faster than it’s already flowing. However, you should be able to relax a bit once you remember that all water reaches the sea in time. Be smart and allow current events to follow their own natural course without any unnecessary pressure.

Your mental gymnastics could be a way to maintain your illusion of control today. However, there’s nothing to be gained now by struggling with your analysis of a crucial issue. Sticking to the facts isn’t helpful because important information can come to you through the symbols in your imagination. Obstacles will be easier to overcome once you acknowledge the significance of your dreams even if they don’t make sense.

You might not normally like to play the role of a mother hen, but the nurturing Cancer Moon is visiting your 10th House of Public Responsibility, encouraging you to stick your nose in everyone else’s business. Unfortunately, it’s difficult to distinguish between your need to be in control and your well-intentioned desire to help someone. Still, you can derive benefit from your intervention if you’re willing to stop to re-examine your motives prior to offering assistance.

You can feel the rejuvenating effect from the Moon’s presence in fellow Water sign Cancer. Unfortunately, you might have been so busy recently that you forgot to check in with your feelings. Thankfully, it’s time to reconnect with your own center today. Once you move through your initial resistance, fears will dissipate and your reluctance will morph into the anticipation of what comes next.

A difficult emotional encounter isn’t usually enough to adversely affect your naturally upbeat attitude, yet you still might forget to count your blessings today. Although you’re quite able to sidestep the oncoming negativity, you could feel like a deer trapped by its own fear as it stares into the oncoming headlights. Nevertheless, you are in control of your own destiny and a passionate exchange could put you in touch with an important spiritual truth that leads you out of danger.

You may grow annoyed if a close friend or partner seems overly needy today. You might even misinterpret someone’s emotional behavior as an apparent sign of weakness, especially if you don’t want your own feelings to stand in the way of your ambitions. Be careful; suppressing your more vulnerable side creates the wrong impression. Ironically, being open about your discomfort with someone else’s problems can actually lead to a deeper and more meaningful relationship.

You may be worried about how your close friends and family perceive you today, but don’t waste any time or energy on brooding. Thankfully, you should receive sufficient support so you can move through your fears pretty quickly. Shifting your focus away from your inner world and onto external events helps you maintain a positive attitude so you can make the most of the day.

An unspoken attraction could turn into an obsession today if you are trying to ignore the strong feelings you have for someone special. Avoiding your desires by pretending they don’t exist is not a healthy strategy because your secret feelings gain power if they remain in the dark. Just remember that you can acknowledge what you want without necessarily acting on it.
