You may be offered a chance to cool off and take it easy today. The problem is that even if you do create a mini-vacation for yourself, unexpressed emotions can build in intensity until you have to do something about them. Go ahead and share what’s on your mind with a close friend or co-worker, but watch the tone of your delivery. There’s no need to stir up petty disputes or blame anyone else for your feelings.

Take time to recharge your emotional batteries today. Although work duties may call, make space for a bit of relaxation, too. Don’t fall into the trap of thinking that you have to stay productive all day. Even if there is potential trouble nearby, there’s no need to make it worse now by throwing fuel on the fire. Instead, remain cool and collected; finding pleasure in simple things rejuvenates your soul.

Usually, communicating comes naturally to you, but something seems different now. You aren’t motivated to say much today as you maintain your point of view. You might not even share anything at all, since you could believe that it’s not yet important for others to know where you stand. Nevertheless, it is crucial to trust your inner voice today, even if it still takes a while for things to change.

You might be inclined to draw a line in the sand today. If someone rubs you the wrong way, he or she may get a lot more than bargained for because you will fight back to defend what is rightfully yours. However, your real strength comes from your tenacity. You can hold on longer than anyone else, so remember that time really is on your side.

You might be feeling a sense of urgency now, as if you could lose your chance if you don’t make something happen today. Your concerns reflect an element of reality since romantic Venus leaves your sign tomorrow. However, it’s more likely that your current situation just hasn’t yet reached fruition. Taking impulsive action may not be your smartest move. Do your best to smooth over any ruffled feathers and wait for the right opportunity to ripen.

You may not be very inspired today; in fact, you might feel downright lazy. Nevertheless, it’s crucial to keep up with your basic routine because falling behind could make the rest of the week more difficult. On the other hand, it’s not necessary to drive yourself harder than required. Do what you must, but reserve your energy while you can.

An emotional issue may stubbornly work its way to the surface today as the Moon visits your 8th House of Deep Sharing. Even if you’re not comfortable talking about your feelings, making an effort to communicate is a worthwhile endeavor. However, someone’s expectations might not be reasonable now, adding to the tension. Remember you cannot please everyone, and you’ll only make yourself unhappy if you try. Those who are your true friends will remain so, even if you cannot give them what they want at this time.

Your closest friends mean a lot to you, but the obstinate Taurus Moon makes it difficult to accept the differences of opinions between you and someone who is trying to help. Even if you disagree with others now, remember that the real argument is not with them, but with an aspect of yourself. Once you accept your own irresolvable paradox, the external ones become more manageable.

It’s tough letting go of the details today, even though this isn’t usually a problem for you. Don’t be overly hard on yourself about this penchant for the minutiae now because you don’t normally allow little things to get in your way. Cut yourself some slack and take the time you need to get everything in order so you’ll be free to tackle a bigger project with enthusiasm.

You might feel as if your closest friend or partner isn’t giving you the support you need now, yet you’re cautiously optimistic, anyhow. You may be self-protective as you distance yourself from others to take care of business. Thankfully, you’re able to make decisions that will be right for you in the long run as long as you keep your priorities straight and concentrate on the most immediate tasks.

The cosmic energies are shifting again, reminding you to take action if you’re dissatisfied with your most significant relationships. However, you might not have to say anything at this time. Real transformations occur within you as your desire for direct confrontation fades. You don’t need to force any issues today. The river of change is flowing right on schedule.

Your level of comfort might be surprisingly high today, even if stress fades in and out all day. Although you probably have work-related obligations, it’s still wise to set aside some time for yourself. Relationships may get confusing in the days ahead, requiring more time to straighten things out. Conserve your energy now so it’s available later in the week when you need it.
