Complexity and subtlety are blended into a conundrum today. The whimsical Gemini Moon reflects our need to keep everything light and easy. However, an early morning Sun-Saturn square heightens resistance, asking us to slow down or even stop making any more progress. Obstacles appear in front of us, although we may put them there ourselves. It’s difficult to strike a perfect balance between our serious feelings and more lighthearted ones.

You always have choices as you approach an unexpected roadblock in your path. You can run directly into the trouble and try to power your way through it. When this headstrong tactic works, you are a sight to behold! But today an impulsive attack could be foolhardy and frustrating. Stop and try to understand what you can learn from the situation. When you recognize the deeper lesson, everything will quickly fall into place.

Whatever feelings rise to the surface now are doing so for a good reason; however, the logic may not be immediately apparent to you. Remain open to changes even if you feel like you’re not getting what you want. The situation might still be unstable and you’re wise to wait before making any significant decisions. Instead of focusing on a temporary setback today, remember that what you say has the magical power to transform everything in the blink of an eye.

Your key planet Mercury is retrograde now, turning your thoughts inward. Although responsibilities may seem somewhat oppressive, almost anything is possible if you put your mind to it. The feelings that are holding you back also contain the seeds for your forward movement. It’s not time to accept defeat, even if you’re feeling less than confident. Today’s discussions can set the stage for tomorrow’s transformations.

You may think that someone is being overly judgmental of your activities as critical Saturn rains on your parade. However, today’s Sun-Saturn square gives you an opportunity to gain clarity about an important life lesson. Try to remain optimistic about your options because a challenge or a delay doesn’t mean you should give up. Instead, strengthen your position by reviewing your plans and making necessary adjustments.

You are being tested today, and how you respond will have important consequences in the days ahead. Imagine that the complex situations that you encounter are speed bumps on the road of life. If you are moving ahead too fast, they might cause serious damage. But trouble can be averted if you see the obstacles far enough in advance. Take your cues from the feedback that reality is offering you and plan your course accordingly.

Although you feel like throwing caution to the wind today, a friend will have enough sense to remind you about your priorities. Even if some things are not going exactly the way you want, you can make choices that will keep you on your chosen path. Flexibility is more important now than sustainability. If you conjure up the image in your mind, then it has the chance to become real. Believing is the first step to seeing.

Nearly everything in your life seems to be moving along quite well. Nevertheless, you are still facing conflict about what you want to do versus what others want you to do. Or, perhaps, someone close to you is causing you stress because they are acting recklessly instead of fulfilling their responsibilities. Whatever problems you are facing now, remember that your ability to roll with the situation will help see you through it.

Your mind continues to be very probing and, fortunately, your thinking process is grounded. However, your basic material needs and sensual desires may be the source of a dilemma. Your gut instinct encourages you to develop your vision of an ideal future. First, you must make some adjustments as your values transform along with the current circumstances. But it’s not the right time to change everything all at once. Fine-tuning your daily routine, though, is certainly in order.

Love is in the air today but it doesn’t come without complications. Although you may not be able to avoid serious matters in a relationship, you’re tempted to step around a potential problem to get to the good stuff. Unfortunately, taking a shortcut now won’t save any time and could also destabilize a romance. Instead of pushing your luck, adopting a slower approach increases your chances to find mutual satisfaction.

You would be wise to examine your weaknesses as the willful Sun squares your key planet Saturn today. However, judging yourself too harshly could do more harm than good, especially if others are criticizing your efforts, too. Nevertheless, dwelling on your shortcomings is a waste of time. Think of yourself as a work in progress and get busy.

Ironically, the sooner you accept the current limitations, the easier it will be to break free from the restraints. The lesson now is to work within your boundaries, rather than trying to work around them. There are times to push the edges of the envelope, and there are times to exercise self-control to keep things as they are. Thankfully, the problems you face today will seem less complicated tomorrow.

You Fish like to swim in the open waters where there are no boundaries. But now you are being presented with a restrictive situation that prevents you from reaching your destination. Instead of worrying too much about getting lost along the way, consider your current responsibilities. Once you have your priorities in order it will be easier to work within the defined limits of the game.
