You think that being more practical is a good idea today, but eventually you’re likely to give up and follow your dreams. It isn’t that you’re incapable of acting sensibly; it’s just your radical side comes out when the Moon enters unconventional Aquarius. Be careful; it’s not a smart time to burn bridges by alienating those who support you. Instead, find ways to speak your truth without starting a fight.

You may feel out of the loop today if others don’t notice your contribution. Thankfully, you’re patient enough to wait for the recognition you deserve, even if you do grow a bit frustrated in the process. However, losing your temper might be the best thing you can do now because it helps to clear the air. If you keep your annoyance to yourself, the tension could continue to grow. Just remember to express your feelings without blaming anyone else.

You’re quite focused on getting your chores done today, but you might have too much to do. You could reach a breaking point when you’re tempted to throw up your hands and walk away from your responsibilities. However, you won’t be able to escape from your commitments that easily. Instead of avoiding reality, demonstrate your persistence by sticking with your agenda. Checking a few things off your list is a good start toward alleviating the stress.

You are less likely to behave nicely just to get others to like you today. You are clear about your needs and are willing to take responsibility to achieve satisfaction. You typically might not be this assertive, but it feels natural now. Even if you’re confident that you’ll reach your goals, don’t be disrespectful of your friends and colleagues. Let the day unfold and wait until later to make the appropriate changes if things aren’t going your way.

You’re taking your work very seriously today and are committed to delivering on your promises. If repetitive tasks are on your plate, you’re ready to concentrate on them until they are done. But you’re as equally enthusiastic to jump into something totally new. Either way, it’s tempting to push the energy too far. A bit of sensible self-restraint is useful to maximize your progress no matter what projects are in front of you.

In an ideal world, you might want to schedule your day backwards by having fun first and then doing your chores later. It may be frustrating if you try to narrow your focus in the morning while the Moon is still visiting your 5th House of Fun and Games. But when she enters your 6th House of Employment this afternoon, you won’t likely be so eager to partake in any distracting activities. Grab the opportunity for enjoyment while you can and start your day with some playtime before heading off to work.

Personal or professional obligations may hold your attention during the morning, but later on you’re eager to shift gears so you can enjoy yourself. Scheming about your escape can be more fun than you expect, especially if you attack it as if it were a competitive game. Don’t rush ahead impulsively; wait until you feel the time is right before doing your disappearing act and following the plan you devised earlier in the day.

You might sense an unpleasant wave of energy way out on the horizon of your awareness, making it difficult to enjoy the day. Although intense emotions continue to build throughout the day, it’s not wise to push them away. Avoiding uncomfortable feelings isn’t smart because they’ll just gain strength if you do. Instead, express what’s in your heart, even if it isn’t what others want to hear. It’s healthier for them to learn your truth now than receive a watered-down version of it at some later time.

Although you may have to head back to work today or do chores that have piled up in your absence, the day should end on a positive note. Ironically, establishing sensible limits actually grants you additional freedom now. But, if you’re not attentive to setting healthy boundaries, you might have to take a defensive posture. Don’t delay the inevitable, even if it feels uncomfortable; clearly draw your line in the sand and prepare to hold your ground if you must.

The beginning of your day should go along smoothly enough, but someone may ask you to explain your values later. You could be resistant to talking about your beliefs because you’re still developing your position. It doesn’t feel right to climb out on a limb in order to defend an opinion that’s still unformed. Although you may have a good reason to stay quiet, your silence can be misinterpreted. Hiding is not the best strategy now, for it encourages others to misread your intentions.

The mood-setting Moon’s shift into your intellectual sign today is a reminder that your emotions are more important than you think. However, there’s nothing you need to change at this time. Just be thankful that you have an opportunity to experience your life to the fullest, even if you must engage in a passionate debate to defend your position. Sometimes your feelings can be quite confusing, but now you have something useful to learn from them.

You may be feeling stress that arises from your unrealistic desire to avoid your current responsibilities. Although you might dream of escaping to an exotic place, you could become upset when you realize that it’s impossible to take time off now. Don’t ignore your frustration or it can turn into anger and erupt again in a few days. Instead, find a way to slip away for a while, even if it’s only with an intriguing movie or a good book.
