Spontaneity is your friend.

Expressing your feelings grows more challenging day by day, so the sooner you get started the better.

You expect more from others than they’re able to give today, increasing the likelihood of being let down by a close friend or family member. The problem is people seem to be out of touch with their feelings which makes them harder for you to read. If someone close to you appears to have lost his or her way, lend a sympathetic ear. Your emotional support is more useful now than attempting to make a heroic rescue. There’s no need to save the day when all you have to do is listen.

Although innovation is impressive when it works, sometimes the same old routine is the most reliable path.

Although you are eager for a play day, you’re aware that the fun won’t last forever.

You’re ready and able to shine your love light brightly today because you want to do your part to raise the vibration of the cosmos.

An objective assessment of your choices will steer you in the right direction.
