Your life may be more complicated than it appears now, yet you don’t want anyone to see how much you are keeping to yourself. It’s easier to be socially engaged if you downplay your unorthodox interests. Restraining your impulsive behavior is wise because your need for independence clashes with your current desire to build lasting relationships. Remember, there’s no reason to share all your thoughts and fantasies with anyone else unless that’s what you really want to do.

You have an uncanny sense about the right thing to do in a relationship today. Unfortunately, choosing the responsible path over a more playful one may not be a lot of fun, but you can still feel good about acting in a self-disciplined manner. Being practical is not flashy, but it enables you to prepare for the future, which ultimately can bring you an enduring satisfaction.

Even the strongest dose of common sense may not be sufficient to keep you on task today because you are so easily distracted by the light of your own brilliance. However, shiny objects aren’t as enticing as great ideas now, so it’s hard to be motivated simply by the temptation of more money. Thankfully, a unique approach to your current job might enable you to make a long-awaited breakthrough. Keep refocusing on your goals if you want to achieve success.

It’s difficult to express your feelings today. If you find yourself in a deep discussion with a powerful person, your fear of rejection might tempt you to withdraw to protect your security. But even if you face the resistance, your words might not flow easily now because your emotions are still in flux. Be patient, it becomes more natural to speak your mind once your changing moods begin to settle down. Take time to listen to your heart.

Your expectations are very high today, increasing the chances of being let down by a close friend or family member. But others appear to be out of touch with their feelings. If someone very close to you seems to have lost her way, lending a sympathetic ear is better now than trying to make a heroic rescue. Concentrate on reaching your goals and setting an example for others to follow.

Most tasks handed off to you today are potential opportunities for you to develop a new and exciting method that saves everyone time. But it’s crucial to know when to quit or you could spend the entire day seeking the next great breakthrough, even if the tried and true way would have worked just fine. Sometimes the same old approach is the most reliable thing you can do. Demonstrate your keen intelligence by choosing which path makes the most sense now for the job at hand.

The sensitive Cancer Sun is halfway through its month-long journey through your 10th House of Career, possibly bringing you well-deserved recognition at work. But taskmaster Saturn is also in the equation today, requiring you to give your assignments all you can. Expect amazing results, for even if you don’t quite meet your goals, your chances for success are greatly enhanced by your confident attitude and your extra effort.

You’re able to shine your light brightly today because you can see great potential wherever you look. However, blind optimism is not a wise strategy; it only inflates and then dashes your expectations. Nevertheless, your willingness to assume the best outcome could open one door after another to opportunities that you would have just walked by at another time in your life.

You’re not particularly interested in undertaking a major project by yourself these days. Fortunately, your world is full of amazing people, each with something special to offer. You might expect it to be easy to find someone willing to work with you, but everyone seems to be too busy now. However, don’t give up searching for a business or personal partner. Accepting less than you want may seem wise in the moment, but it’s even better to wait for the right person.

Your ruling planet Saturn is softened by a harmonious trine from the nurturing Moon today. Normally, rational Saturn and the emotional Moon send conflicting messages, but your steady work now seems to garner beneficial results. Find the balance between knowing exactly what you want and realizing that you cannot fulfill every desire. Prioritize the potential pleasures in front of you, carefully choose your best shot at happiness and then take it.

You might be so confident today that you think you can do everything. Unfortunately, spreading yourself too thin makes it impossible to finish even the simplest chores. Don’t be so blinded by your own illuminating ideas that you lose sight of the practical realities that still govern your life. It’s more important now to be responsible than it is to act like a genius.

You could be undecided about a significant personal issue because you can see it from both sides now. Your enthusiasm tempts you to say yes and jump wholeheartedly into the new project, but your heightened common sense is screaming no. Forcing a decision today only leads you to change your mind farther down the road, so take your time before making a final choice.
