You’re trying to be extra practical today as you consider your financial plans. Although you could make smart decisions about your money, you may be distracted by demands that others make on your time. Ultimately, being responsible grows boring, prompting you to look for ways to escape your obligations. Unfortunately, you don’t have the luxury to slip into your fantasies yet. Finishing your chores won’t be as painful as you expect if you narrow your focus and get down to business.

Logical Mercury in determined Taurus comes to your rescue today by helping you set priorities and concentrate on your goals. However, you may become frustrated if you’re not making as much progress as you want. It’s tempting to blame someone else for restricting your creativity now, but it’s your own fear of failure that’s probably slowing you down. Don’t worry if everything is taking longer than you planned; your willpower enables you to overcome a variety of obstacles.

You may be spending more time lost in your imagination now than anyone realizes because you can hide your fantasies behind a smokescreen of clever words. Your special skill of being in two places at once empowers you to appear fully engaged with those around you while you are still daydreaming about your future. Remember, your need for solitude isn’t just about escaping from other people’s noise; a quick retreat replenishes your energy so you can create enough stories to satisfy everyone.

You’re growing tired of hearing about everyone else’s intense emotional dramas, especially if you have issues on your own mind that you want to share with your friends. Unfortunately, there might not be enough time to raise your concerns now, so you may need to reconsider your tactics. Ultimately, it’s your responsibility to bring up discussion topics that are important to you; you cannot expect others to read your mind and do it for you.

Your words carry a lot of weight today, so make sure to use them with care. Even if your motives are pure, you may be repressing anger that can leak out of your subconscious and into a conversation. Instead of speaking only the truth as you see it, consider other people’s feelings before you say anything. Tempering your honesty with kindness now helps everyone feel better in the long run.

Your key planet Mercury continues to hum in harmony with cosmic bad boys Mars and Pluto, moving you closer to your creative edge. Your long-term plans may need clarification or revision, but you can take it all in stride. Don’t try to do too much all at once; slow down to tie up any loose ends that might have unraveled. Stay on track and the distant light at the end of the tunnel will grow brighter day by day.

You may grow a bit discouraged today if the finer things in life aren’t within easy reach. It might even seem as if a co-worker or boss prevents you from achieving your goals. Although you aren’t willing to put up with anyone’s false sense of authority, letting go of your need to be in charge is your best move now. Once you relinquish control, pleasure could be closer than you expect.

You have no logical reason to withhold any information today, especially as talkative Mercury slips into the shadows to have an intense conversation with dark Pluto. But saying too much creates a whole new layer of complications. Others will be less inclined to listen if you’re only pushing your agenda. Don’t talk just to win points in an argument; instead engage in a discussion to find places of mutual understanding and common ground.

Although you may not be ready to head back to work today, there are many critical tasks that require your attention. You might even need to have a heart-to-heart conversation with your boss about a looming deadline. But don’t take your frustration out on anyone else if you left things until the last minute. Just get busy as soon as you can so you have more time to finish the job.

Your mind is like a strong trap today; you catch facts and then integrate the most useful concepts into your overall plan. Although your calculated actions might alienate others, they will be secretly impressed with your relentless ambition and sound thinking. Simplify your life by acknowledging that you have time to reach your goals without panicking. Oddly enough, you’ll reach your destination faster if you slow down.

Although you are adept at thinking on your feet, advanced preparation helps you succeed. Having a concrete plan now works to your advantage. But you may be more productive today if you underplay your hand to avoid arousing unnecessary opposition. Unfortunately, progress becomes more difficult once resistance is stirred. Ultimately, sheer determination is your strongest ally. Don’t give up; gentle persistence brings positive results.

You may not be interested in working on your own today. You prefer to play a part in a collaborative effort, sharing your success with others on your team. You might be happily surprised with the amount of help you receive from your friends and workmates now. Keep in mind that this support is a reflection of your loyal commitment to your peers. Accept the assistance gratefully; after all, you earned it.
