Often you know exactly what you want in love and you’re ready to go for it. Now, however, your desires are not as clear. You tend to idealize your attractions today, which is a lot of fun as long as you don’t try to relate them directly to reality. Too many concrete expectations could hinder your current journey. If, however, you can go with the flow, it may reward you with a very beautiful experience that has long-lasting consequences.

You may read an emotional situation incorrectly today if you aren’t paying extra careful attention to what’s going on. There might be some confusion with respect to your feelings about a developing relationship. However, allowing your thoughts to meander around in the realms of possibility is an enjoyable distraction that doesn’t necessarily lead to satisfaction. Instead, focus on the most immediate issues in order to get the train back on the reality track.

Although you may believe that you expressed your needs clearly, others won’t necessarily understand you now. Your words are easily misconstrued because you don’t think it’s necessary to explain the obvious. However, you can be much more convincing if you take the time to unfold your story methodically. Hold on to your dreams, but keep your feet firmly planted on the ground.

Your schedule can get messed up today because you don’t allow enough time for everything that needs to be accomplished. You may not be as prepared as you prefer now because other people aren’t sharing their expectations with you. Instead of muddling your way through the day in uncertainty, ask concrete questions. Your friends and associates might surprise you with their down-to-earth answers that can save your day.

You feel extra close to your dreams today, but you may be living in a bubble of fantasies no matter how clearly you’ve been thinking. Facts are shaded by your thoughts and feelings now, and it’s tricky to separate objective perceptions from subjective opinions. Thankfully, the potential for creating meaning in your life grows stronger when your intuitive visions are integrated into reality.

Normally, you excel at managing the details of a complex project and keeping them in order. However, you may be wiser to save the critical thinking for another day. Cut yourself some slack today and give yourself permission to space out, instead of trying to limit your thoughts. Your imagination is your greatest asset now; don’t be afraid to use it.

You’re feeling a bit more introspective than usual today as your key planet Venus enters your 12th House of Privacy. If you must spend the day with others, you can still withdraw into your imagination while appearing as socially astute as ever. Balancing your previous obligations with your current need to be alone might be tricky unless you’re willing to keep one foot in each world.

You may have very particular ideas about activities you want to share with your friends now, but your work might not give you the freedom you need. You are not one to run out on your responsibilities, yet you can rearrange your schedule and finish up your work early today without negatively impacting anyone else. Following through on your word is important, but so is pursuing your dreams.

Conditions on the home front can be confusing, but they aren’t your biggest problem now. Things are not as they appear to be and it’s difficult for you to gauge the relative importance of a particular thought. Taking a simple idea and turning it into an overly complicated strategy doesn’t make it any more effective. Misunderstandings that come to light in the next few days will make you glad that you strive for simplicity today.

You could be feeling a bit confused if you cannot control your desires now, and they could pull you away from your previous commitments. There are days when you can build the road as well as travel along it. However, today is meant for exploring territories that are off the beaten track. Give yourself permission to wander around, knowing that you’ll be back on the highway and heading toward your destination again in just a few days.

You may think you know exactly what you want and how you’re going to get it, but this confidence isn’t what you’re projecting today. People can see a gentler side of you as your hidden emotional softness slips through the cracks in the walls of your defenses. Instead of fighting it, consciously let others inside your otherwise impenetrable walls. Vulnerability is your strength now, not a weakness.

Today you might fall in love with a beautiful person, a spiritual teacher or a fleeting vision. Unfortunately, it’s currently difficult to tell the difference between reality and fantasy. Nevertheless, fact and fiction can morph into a magical moment that opens your heart. Don’t try to figure out what’s happening now; just enjoy the experience. Untangle the threads in the tapestry of life on another day when things make more sense.
