You can finally slow down today — a relatively unusual event — yet you may still resist easing up on the gas. You have been racing at high speed for a while and could be in danger of depleting your fuel. Take the time to gather resources and recharge your batteries while you have the opportunity. Nevertheless, be ready to swing into action later in the day instead of passively waiting for something to happen.

A maternal feeling toward someone you love may sweep over you today, even if you aren’t parentally-inclined. Nurturing others can be healing, yet you must make the effort to do it. But don’t take care of anyone just so you can feel good about yourself. Practicing unconditional love has the greatest impact on everyone involved.

Love begins at home by learning how to value your heart’s desires. You’re often quick to say the right thing at the right time so you receive the approval of others. But now it’s time to stop trying to elicit the response you want from anyone else and follow your dreams. Taking care of yourself feels good; ironically, it also can set the tone to deepen the connection between you and someone special.

Although the Moon’s visit to moody Cancer stirs your emotions, you have some serious self-restraint issues coming to light today. You may feel as if you’re on-edge, but cannot easily express the things you want to share. Keep in mind that you’re probably being harder on yourself than is necessary. Stay aware of the facts, but save your critical judgments for another day.

Your fantasy life is rich now with the Moon illuminating your 12th House of Imagination. Nevertheless, keep one foot anchored in the real world so you don’t drop off into the realm of dreams. You have significant feelings that you need to unfold in the privacy of your own mind, because letting others know doesn’t seem quite right yet. There’s no need to worry; trust your intuition and you’ll know when to open up.

Sometimes when you’re participating in a group function you are hesitant to say what’s on your mind. You don’t have a problem talking to your partner or your boss in private; however, it’s difficult to express yourself in a public meeting. Gather your courage to speak up today. You don’t need to disclose everything, but rest assured that every word you share will be taken seriously.

You want to do what’s right, but something is preventing you from taking action now. You have been observing your feelings as they change, but haven’t said anything yet because you don’t want to upset the status quo. However, today you can share what’s been bugging you as long as you do so with sensitivity. Show how much you care in a way that allows you to get away with saying more and offending less.

You might be especially concerned about your future now. Even your fantasies may be related to your career or community goals rather than your personal life. It’s tempting to get emotionally worked up about issues of social injustice. Your opinions could be so strong that your passionate perspective explodes to the surface. Speak your mind, but hold back just enough so your message isn’t lost in the drama of the moment.

Your unexpressed feelings may be the most significant ones now, especially if your idealism attracts unrealistic dreams. Actually, the subtle signals you’re receiving might not even be on the radar of perception. Don’t question where your ideas are coming from. Just listen carefully, even if you’re not sure what you are listening to. Write down everything you hear today; you will understand more in due time.

It’s not all about you today; in fact, it’s about everyone else. At least that’s how it seems. But someone isn’t telling you everything, and the unexpressed feelings can rebound to create a tense situation. If this is what’s happening, look to your own issues and acknowledge your contribution to the current events. You can change your outer world most effectively by transforming your inner perspective.

You could be a bit anxious today. Your dilemma stems from your desire for love and acceptance. Of course, nearly everyone wants to feel needed, but you complicate matters by attempting to avoid emotional interdependence. There is no one-size-fits-all answer; instead of seeking the right solution, try to be comfortable with all sides of an issue. Others will be more appreciative when you are flexible enough to recognize their points of view, too.

Your feelings are growing more serious day by day. However, it doesn’t mean you are antisocial, even if you need some time to yourself now. To the contrary, this is an ideal day to pursue a romantic interest or to use your creativity to make something real. Reach out to enjoy the moment with someone special.
