It’s a good day for taking care of any sort of business, as long as you remain flexible. Changes are on order for the day. Be careful to exercise sensitivity in romantic relationships; you may miss a tempting opportunity if you’re emotionally unaware.
About the Number 8
Theme: Power, Responsibility, Good Judgment, Financial Rewards
Astro Association: Leo
Tarot Association: Strength
It’s no fun when someone gets on your case, but you may as well save your complaining for another day. You won’t likely receive a lot of support if an idea of yours cannot stand up to fair criticism. Thankfully, the circumstances aren’t as dire as you think. Your contribution can have significant impact if you’re willing to learn a tough lesson now and stepup your game as needed.
You’re still busy, even if you’ve recently been trying to slow down. Today is a turning point and you can finally begin to regain control. You have been running around chasing your dreams, yet now are required to stop so you can focus on a single issue that demands all your attention. Fortunately, redirecting your thinking process toward real world considerations enables you to set aside extraneous issues and produce more tangible results.
You’re not interested in listening to the cool voice of reason today, yet your options could be limited by the current circumstances. Without an apparent way out of your present dilemma, you might have to get serious now and face the music. This is a critical time because you understand that your casual attitude can’t make a very real problem disappear. Fortunately, sound thinking can.
You may have recently lost any objectivity that you had, yet today your daydreams can run into some cold, hard truths of reality. Unfortunately, you don’t want to leave your fantasies behind, but the longer you avoid your obligations, the more of a challenge it will be to face them in the long run. Starting your work now is smarter than procrastinating any longer.
Reaching your long-term destination might feel impossible today as you try to sort out where you are in your life. But there is no time for self-pity; you have important work to do now. Don’t waste precious time because this small window of opportunity won’t remain open too long. Acknowledge anything that isn’t working and make changes as needed to get back on track.
You may feel as if you’re now being taught a lesson you already know. Unfortunately, your ruling planet Mercury forms a stressful square with taskmaster Saturn today, requiring you to learn what you can, even if it’s uncomfortable. Thankfully, the Sun’s shift into your futuristic 11th house takes your mind off the present moment and aims you toward your goals. Don’t blame others if you have a hard time with criticism. Make the necessary changes within yourself, without trying to change anyone else.
Blind optimism transforms into enlightened realism today as your big ideas collide with a serious dose of the truth. Others may believe that your new and open perspective is more life-affirming than if you shut down your heart in fear. Don’t judge yourself too harshly, for you cannot possibly know what you don’t yet know. The most important thing you can do now is to make the best choices in the present moment before moving on.
You may want to have a deep conversation with an intimate friend today, but he or she is able to skillfully avoid talking about something unsettling. Or perhaps you are the one cleverly engineering situations to prevent an uncomfortable topic from coming up. Don’t let this chance to connect with someone you trust slip by; the opportunity to share your feelings will continue to grow throughout the days ahead.
Normally, you are able to see the positive side of nearly anything. You can make just about everything sound better when you are trying to inspire others. Although you get a kick out of banishing gray clouds from the sky, you still might have a tough time today finding something to smile about. Nevertheless, it’s imperative for you to hold on to your unique vision, for your optimism touches more people’s lives than you realize.
Your key planet Saturn presents you with a complex dilemma today, for your success appears to be in jeopardy. Your natural reaction is to close down in fear and anticipate the worst. Although your negative expectations aren’t enough to skew your whole day, it’s not easy to muster up your self-confidence now. Your hard work, coupled with a positive outlook, could put you right back in the driver’s seat where you belong.
Your approach to your job could turn a notch more serious today as Mercury in your 6th House of Employment dynamically squares sobering Saturn. Think about how you can sustain your recent gains and solidify working relationships. If differences of opinion arise now, there’s no need to force resolution. Rise above the conflict by acknowledging the opposing viewpoints and then moving on to something you can mutually agree upon.
Disagreements with a lover or a playmate can drain you emotionally today, especially if your partner believes that you’re making a fuss over nothing. But your tender feelings may be wounded if someone forgets to respect your wishes and appreciate you for who you are. Resolving discomfort in any relationship still requires your commitment to meet the other person halfway.
Your curiosity is aroused as your energetic ruling planet Mars visits diversity-seeking Gemini and your chatty 3rd house this week. However, a tendency to skip out on your obligations can prove problematic this weekend when the Moon in stable Taurus dips into your secretive 12th House. Letting others in on your plans is the least you can do. A bit of consideration for the feelings of those around you is worth the effort.
The Moon’s shift into your stubborn sign on Saturday afternoon increases your need for comfort and pleasure. But the consistency you desire may be hard to come by as the Sun forms a stressful square with revolutionary Uranus on Sunday. Applying a small dose of flexibility to every situation will give you the chance to avoid conflicts that are not likely to lead to an easy resolution.
Assertive Mars’ entry into your sign on Monday initiates a period of hyperactivity that brings more excitement to your personal life. You are drawn to new people and experiences now more than ever. This adventurous spirit spices up the feisty and flirtatious sides of your personality, inspiring you to create fun wherever you go. However, your light-hearted approach might make it very difficult to stabilize a serious relationship. Being completely honest allows you to play without any pangs of guilt.
If you’re itching for change or having a nagging sense of uncertainty, it could be due to Mars’ stealth-like move into your secretive 12th house on Monday. The warrior planet is traveling through restless Gemini, kicking up energy that’s difficult to manage. Facing issues head-on or finding a method to quiet your nerves is a way to regain the equilibrium you may be missing.
The Moon’s entry into earthy Taurus on Saturday occurs in your 10th House of Public Responsibility. While this lunar alignment is good for showing off your leadership skills, it can also weigh you down with duties that cut into your social time. Avoid overloading yourself with professional obligations if you want the freedom to pursue love and pleasure this weekend.
You might want to stretch your boundaries this weekend with the Moon’s visit to your 9th House of Faraway Places on Saturday. Travel, cultural activities and people from different backgrounds can provide a sense of stimulation that opens both your heart and mind. Your enthusiasm is high, but don’t make long-term plans with someone new just yet. Exploring life with a more adventurous attitude allows you to play without any strings attached.
A lunar transit through your partnership houses starting on Thursday should keep your social life on the front burner this week. But whatever happens, be ready for a sudden change on Sunday when surprise-generating Uranus clashes with the illuminating Sun. Encountering rebellious feelings or an unexpected shift of circumstances requires lots of flexibility on your part to stay afloat.
Expect close relationships to change direction this week as your ruling planet Mars moves into your 8th House of Deep Sharing. You’ll need to adapt quickly and communicate more openly to stay on track where you are, or to make a meaningful new connection. If you can remain sweet and honest in the midst of a difficult conversation, greater intimacy will be your sweet reward.
Aggressive Mars entering your 7th House of Partners on Monday should raise the level of romantic activity in your personal life. You might attract a flirtatious individual who is fun to be around but difficult to read. It’s also possible that you will be the one who sends mixed messages. Either way, it’s essential to discern seriousness from silliness before you invest your heart.
The Moon’s dance into your 5th House of Romance on Saturday afternoon can make this a sensually pleasing weekend. There is a risk, though, of promising or expecting too much when the positive vibrations flow. Sunday could bring a sudden shift of mood or change of plans, requiring you to alter your position instead of holding your ground. Stay light on your feet to meet others halfway.
Mars, the planet of action, activates your 5th House of Play on Monday, initiating a period of greater personal expression. You’re ready to take the lead to bring more love and fun into your life, but you might not be clear on where you want it to go. Keep things light, lively and spontaneous instead of making overly elaborate plans. Your unique brand of creativity is your secret weapon now.
A domestic matter that has been lurking in the background could shift to the forefront today. You might feel as if you’re being pushed to say something, even if you are trying to remain neutral. Unfortunately, your words can have more consequences than you expect and might even make things worse. Before you open your mouth, consider whether your disclosure will actually improve the situation. It may be wiser to remain silent for a while longer.
Obsessing about something you should have said to a close friend or family member stirs up unresolved feelings today. But your concerns could be agitated because you’re currently overly sensitive to everything in your immediate environment. Although it’s healthy to acknowledge your compassion for those close to you, it’s also important to remember that you are not responsible for anyone else’s emotions. Don’t intrude into someone else’s life unless you have been specifically invited.
Your ruling planet Mercury engages in a mental war of survival with relentless Pluto today. You may feel as if you’re in over your head, but Mercury is clever enough to outwit even the toughest opponent. Thinking quickly enables you to emerge victorious, but only if you’re realistic about your limitations. There’s no place now for blind optimism. Pay careful attention to everything that is said before making your case as succinctly as you can.
It seems as if someone is pressuring you to say more than you want today as domineering Pluto opposes Mercury in reclusive Cancer. The more others push, the more you resist their efforts. Nevertheless, you still might prefer to have everything out in the open, even if it’s challenging for you to move the discussion along. You would be wise to break through your own resistance because nothing will happen if you wait for anyone else to speak for you.
Even though your patience may have reached its limit, you’re still probably trying to balance your feelings with what others want now. You may be resentful that someone is standing between you and your potential enjoyment. Paradoxically, keeping your negativity to yourself only strengthens it. A smarter strategy is to get your annoyance out in the open. Thankfully, your anger can be transformed once it is seen for what it is.
Your key planet Mercury is visiting your 11th House of Friends where it connects you to others on a deep emotional level. However, its current opposition to shadowy Pluto indicates that your need for personal expression may be overwhelmed by the group process. It’s a good idea to let everyone know how you feel as long as you assume complete responsibility for your own emotions. If you don’t blame anyone else, no one will be able to fault you for saying what’s on your mind.
You are often inclined to keep your opinions to yourself in order to maintain the peace, but someone may push your emotional buttons today, provoking you to say more than is necessary. Although it could be wiser to listen to logic, you are motivated by your sense of fair play to set the record straight. Nevertheless, a bit of diplomacy is still a good idea; you can be honest without having to get everything out in the open in one single blast.
Although interactive Mercury comforts you while it is visiting emotional Cancer, your words seem more confrontational today than you intend. Your key planet Pluto is in a passionate tug-of-war with the cosmic messenger, allowing harsh words to easily slip off your tongue. The consequences of your current honesty could stir up a hornet’s nest of complex feelings. Unnecessary stress can be avoided if you stop to consider other people’s reactions before you speak.
You don’t have much patience with others today; it seems as if your window of opportunity is closing and you might lose your chance to say what’s on your mind if you don’t start an overdue conversation right away. You may be uncomfortable showing your vulnerability, but you are able to quickly adjust to the situation. Your natural confidence is a blessing, but it’s still wise to move slowly. Impulsive disclosures tend to be shallow and may not lead to true satisfaction.
You might be obsessing about a friend or partner today, whether or not the relationship has a viable future. You may even withdraw from others now because retreating from non-essential interactions can be a healthy part of this transit. Letting go is often painful, yet making believe that everything is fine is even worse. You can always choose to reconnect later once you feel more like yourself.
You may be holding out for a better deal today, but it’s probably wise to reconsider your demands and be more open to negotiation. Your natural ability to detach from an emotional situation isn’t working now, making it difficult to unhook yourself from a complex web of feelings. Reminding yourself that you are human just like everyone else will make it easier to express what is in your heart.
Although you might attempt to quietly go about your business today, your frustration could build to a breaking point because you believe that others are not being completely honest with you. You would rather hear the truth than waste your energy trying to fill in the missing information. Ironically, the more you question others, the more they withdraw. Ultimately, it’s best to pay attention to your own feelings now without pushing for resolution until more facts come to light.

The Shadows of LoveJune 17 – 19 |
The weekend starts with the Moon in calculating Capricorn on Friday. This orderly and organized sign is generally more favorable for managing well-planned events than freelancing on the fly. While Capricorn might not be the most romantic sign in the zodiac, it does reward those who are patient, persistent and willing to work for what they want. A potential negative, though, is a tendency to seek a position of dominance. While it may be sexy to some people to be with a strong-willed individual, real intimacy is inhibited when control, rather than sharing, is a primary mode of operation.
A more egalitarian approach to others emerges on Saturday morning when the Moon moves into unconventional Aquarius. This intellectual sign makes plenty of room for divergent ideas and values. Experimentation instead of adhering to tradition is a key characteristic of innovative Aquarius. Still, the apparent openness and emotional availability it represents can be misleading. That’s because a greater need for space allows us to get friendly, but not necessarily close enough to take a relationship to a deeper level. In fact, brainy Mercury’s high-frequency square with Aquarius’ unorthodox ruling planet Uranus sparks original ideas and unique experiences, as well as impulsive remarks that aren’t necessarily endearing.
Conversations are likely to grow more complex on Sunday when communicative Mercury aligns in a challenging right angle with secretive Pluto. Words cut deeply, but silence can hurt even more. We may be in a more somber state of mind, but for courageous individuals, this is an opportunity to dive into dark areas and address profound concerns.
You may have a tendency to be a bit hard-headed and stubborn today; caution yourself against engaging in domestic squabbles. You have all the self confidence you need at your disposal. Much to your delight, others won’t hesitate to show you their support.
About the Number 1
Theme: Masculine, Creative, Independent, Aggressive
Astro Association: MercuryTarot Association: Magician
You believe that you can justify almost anything you want to do today; however, your logic might not seem all that rational to someone else. Even if your motives are admirable, your impulsive behavior may not go over well with others. Be careful of your overconfidence leading you to do something you will later regret. Keep in mind that it’s wiser to heed the cautionary advice that you’re given now, even if it temporarily puts a crimp in your style.
You might have wonderful ideas today, but could lack a clear plan that helps you reach your goals. Although your footing can be shaky now, your sense of urgency motivates you to reach for the stars anyway. Unfortunately, this may not be the best time to start a project, yet you can’t wait for some magical moment to arrive when everything is perfect. If you encounter delays along the way, remember that they are not valid reasons to give up hope and walk away.
Your quick wit often helps you smooth over sketchy situations, but you may not be satisfied with this evasive strategy now. You’re not interested in hiding your feelings any longer, but facing serious underlying issues isn’t as much fun as delivering the next clever comeback. Don’t worry about stepping into unfamiliar territory; your friends and family will jump in to help when they realize that you are attempting to keep it real.
Today’s inspirational Full Moon Eclipse rattles your 6th House of Details, turning your attention to all the loose ends that are still left untied. But being aware of what you need to do is not the same thing as doing it. Don’t try to complete everything now; there is no need to apologize for what remains temporarily unfinished. Handling your chores one at a time will help you to concentrate your efforts and accomplish as much as possible.
Although you may not want to admit it, your thoughts are a bit scattered today, challenging you to follow any one idea to its logical conclusion. Thankfully, the fiery Sagittarius Full Moon Eclipse activates your 5th House of Self-Expression, helping to free you from your own self-limiting beliefs. Just don’t get so carried away with all of the amazing possibilities that you turn a practical plan into an unrealistic dream.
You could get caught up in a struggle to balance quantity with quality today as the Full Moon Eclipse in boundless Sagittarius whets your appetite for adventure. Unfortunately, your newfound desires might be at odds with your usual preference to narrow your field of perception so you can focus your energy and be more efficient. Consider this eclipse as an opportunity to practice your powers of discrimination. Wrapping up your work early allows you to do something exciting later in the day.
This is an information-rich day with the Lunar Eclipse shaking up your 3rd House of Communication. You could even become caught up in a debate without knowing which side is right. Unfortunately, you may have a strong opinion that isn’t well thought out. Ironically, withdrawing from the discussion and seeking a quiet place may be your smartest strategy now. Contemplating your own thoughts is healthier than impulsively reacting to someone else’s ideas.
It’s easy to overestimate your cash flow with the optimistic Sagittarius Lunar Eclipse illuminating your 2nd House of Money today. On the other hand, you might be fully aware of your financial situation, yet still decide to take a dream vacation anyway. Either way, you could end up discouraged if your fiscal reality doesn’t measure up to your wishes. Nevertheless, fretting is a waste of time and energy; save your nickels and dimes, instead.
It’s not easy to contain your dreams as today’s Full Moon Eclipse occurs in your exuberant sign. But rather than going off on your own, you’re likely to tag along with a friend or partner when the Moon opposes chatty Mercury in your 7th House of Companions. Unfortunately, you can’t rely on others for advice now because they will probably encourage your scheme, even if it’s not very practical. Wait until the Moon enters realistic Capricorn tomorrow before embarking on your next big adventure.
You typically handle your responsibilities early in the day so you can relax later on. But you might feel so overwhelmed by the sheer number of items on your agenda now that you don’t know where to begin. Don’t despair; instead of starting on your list right away, take time to review your priorities. Once you decide what you’re going to do first, break down the job into manageable tasks. Successful small steps assure the steadiest progress.
The extravagant Sagittarius Lunar Eclipse in your social 11th house tempts you to say yes to every invitation you receive today. Although interacting with others sounds like fun, you may already be overcommitted. Unfortunately, you won’t be able to enjoy yourself if you’re supposed to be somewhere else. Don’t wait until your schedule is out of control; eliminate some of the extraneous activities before you’re in over your head. Ironically, you will have more fun if you have less to do.
Today’s indulgent Sagittarius Full Moon activates your 10th House of Career, tempting you to set unrealistic professional goals. But it quickly becomes obvious that you cannot live up to your own exaggerated expectations. Ultimately, this Lunar Eclipse can reveal your excesses and require you to restrain your enthusiasm. Gradually apply the brakes to maintain control of your energy before things go awry.
It may be difficult to make your point today because you might be so serious that you scare someone away before you explain what’s on your mind. Once you realize what’s happening, you’re tempted to overcompensate and become so accommodating that you back away from even broaching the topic. Although you could feel pushed and pulled by the changing tides, it’s still possible to be effective. Take your time and think about what you’re going to say before you open your mouth.
It has become more complicated to say something that may have been easier to share last week. Somehow, the current situation has changed so much that you could be feeling insecure about expressing your feelings. Although you might muster up the courage to finish a recent conversation, you’re quickly tempted to abandon your plans. There’s no need to overreact; take the additional time required to resolve a delicate relationship issue.
You might be looking forward to enjoying the company of a friend, but first there is that annoying problem of your job. You’re ready for a good time, yet it would be wise to treat your obligations seriously first. Once your work is done, you can create a bit of adventure in your personal life. Naturally, you could go off and do something by yourself, but the Moon’s shift into your 7th House of Companions indicates that you’d have much more fun being with others.
A lazy morning sounds ideal to you today even if your job or school is beckoning. Unfortunately, circumstances probably won’t let you have the downtime you seek until late this evening or tomorrow. There are too many tasks on your agenda, preventing you from settling in at home. Thankfully, if you psych yourself up to meet your deadlines, you are able to have fun, even while doing your work.
You may have family responsibilities that you cannot avoid today, but you could get a second wind later in the day and end up doing something special that you enjoy. If it’s been a struggle lately to express your feelings about a complicated domestic matter, you might finally find a way that works now. Your new positive attitude can lighten and brighten your evening. Don’t waste energy worrying about your upcoming deadlines; instead, use your optimism to motivate you to do your best.
Although you may try to focus on the tasks you must finish today, you’ll probably grow more distracted as the day unfolds. However, your ability to cleverly hide your scattered energy behind a smokescreen of productivity prevents others from seeing that you’ve temporarily lost your way. You know how much more you could accomplish if you concentrate now, so avoid disappointment by restating your intent and pulling yourself back onto the path.
Everything seems to take longer today because it’s difficult for you to shift into high gear. Even if you believe that many exciting experiences are waiting around the corner, you aren’t ready for them just yet. Fortunately, the energy picks up later in the day when the possibility of fun becomes a motivational factor. But don’t hesitate until it’s too late; plan for pleasure while there’s still enough time to make it happen.
You like the idea of slowing down the pace of your life, but turning your intentions into reality may require at least one more day. Still, it’s healthy to realize that whatever you are doing today may not be as urgent as it seems. Even if there’s a lot to accomplish, don’t wear yourself out. Schedule time to rest and relax over the next couple of days because you will need your energy later in the week.
You’re eager for tomorrow to arrive because the Moon’s current visit to your 12th House of Secrets makes it difficult for you to feel comfortable sharing your ideas. It may seem as if someone in particular is thwarting your progress, but the outer resistance is more likely a projection of your own uncertainty. Thankfully, your instincts are correct; this temporary condition will pass after your emotions play through their natural process.
You have enough common sense to recognize that one of your pet ideas may have finally run its course. One phase is coming to an end, yet it isn’t time to move on. Nevertheless, it can be helpful to visualize what your world might be like once your old assumptions fade. Remember, the power of your imagination is growing stronger now and could enable you to turn your dreams into something really special.
A recent failure may still be preventing you from seeing the positive potential of unstable dynamics now at play in your life. Being afraid of what’s around the next corner could have a negative impact. Fortunately, you are at a turning point and can gain a lot by facing your insecurities. Overcoming anxiety based on your past enables you to create your future. Transforming fear into hope is a sensible strategy whenever possible.
You may need to handle more responsibility this week than you want. You would prefer to wander aimlessly and explore which dreams to follow now. Nevertheless, others are looking to you for inspiration and you don’t want to let them down. Instead of worrying about what could possibly go wrong, concentrate on doing the greatest good. Don’t be overly concerned with the details; just keep your mind set on your destination.
Relationships may appear to be out of control, but you aren’t too worried because you are confident that you can pull everything back together. Actually, you might even enjoy all the action today. Surprisingly, you could get what you want if you maintain a healthy perspective so you don’t act too impulsively. Slow down and turn on your charm; your witty ways may score you the extra points you seek if you remember not to push things too far.
This may be an exciting day as reality gives a boost to your aspirations, tempting you to reach beyond your current goals. Although you realize that the sky is the limit, you are quite concerned about others taking your ideas in a different direction than you want. There is more going on behind the scenes and you are rather intrigued by the notion of untangling all the threads to figure it out. Keep in mind that you might do better by stepping back and letting someone else take charge for a while.
Brilliant ideas keep popping into awareness, enticing you into desiring more than you currently have. Unfortunately, your fantasies may only be fleeting and will soon fade back into the vast reaches of your subconscious. Although it’s challenging to slow down your thoughts, it’s best not to overdo it with too much caffeine or too many exciting activities. Enjoy the buzz without going over the edge.
You may be dreaming of performing on stage today, but you probably get nervous just thinking about being in front of so many people. However, if you are not able to do your own thing creatively, you might try exploring ways to ease your anxiety. One key to your current happiness is your willingness to reach out to others; talking about your fears is a sensible first step to overcoming your own resistance.
You may be required to face angels and demons of your own making today. You could be drawn toward a lovely person, only to realize that you’ve stepped outside your regular comfort zone. Setting sensible boundaries is a smart strategy, but you must follow through by enforcing them. Thankfully, the power of positive thought can be worth more now than anything else. It’s better to associate with optimistic people than someone who brings you down.
You might not be clear about what is expected of you now, but that won’t likely prevent you from trying to be everything to everyone. Naturally, it makes more sense to focus and find the clarity you need, especially since your key planet Mercury is aligning with the brilliant Sun. However, don’t downplay your desires today, even if they seem out of character. Remember that logical analysis can only take you so far; exploring unfamiliar territory may be just what the doctor ordered.
You may obsess about someone or something today and you’re tempted to go overboard in order to reach satisfaction. Your visions of the future can drive you further than logic. Meanwhile, your desires may seem out of control because your key planet Venus aligns with rebellious Uranus, making it difficult for you to know when to stop. Peace arrives when you can find a healthy balance between what you have and what you want.
It feels exhilarating today when you express your desires because what you say appears to be heard. You don’t want anyone to fix anything; you only need acknowledgment from someone who won’t disappear when the emotional pressure builds. The Moon’s visit to your sign deepens your intensity and pumps up your adrenaline until you are all wound up. Keep in mind that you don’t have to push anyone past his or her resistance just because you’ve moved through yours.
Your words have great impact now as talkative Mercury lines up with the Sun in your 7th House of Partnerships. However, rather than motivating others with an inspirational talk, you may want to set your work aside to pursue simple pleasures. Although having fun is usually your top priority, today you have cosmic messages to deliver first.
Your ability to stay on course may be tested today, but you should be able to develop the momentum necessary to do the job. However, your route may be circuitous, and veering off course for a bit could be the best way to reach your targets. You might feel as if your current goals are unattainable, but getting discouraged won’t help. Do whatever is necessary to keep your spirits high, including yoga, meditation or exercise. These activities won’t increase your productivity, but can help you find the elusive balance that you seek.
You might not be able to settle down today because your mind is crackling with excitement. You could even fall in love or, at minimum, eagerly flirt with someone worthy of your admiration. However, if the action heats up, you may wish to withdraw to a more secure place. Emotional connections are important, but it’s also wise to spend time establishing a new routine. Don’t try to do too much now, for incremental change is easier to manage than turning your entire life inside out.
The energy at home today may not feel as stable as you would prefer with erratic Uranus buzzing romantic Venus in your 4th House of Family. You have things to say, but may be fearful that your honesty could stir up more trouble than it’s worth. However, worrying about what others think could prevent you from taking much-needed action. Speak from your heart and deal with the consequences as you go along.
It’s challenging to know what to do today if your friends send you mixed messages. You may feel as if others set clear limits and then, once you acknowledge them by your actions, they wonder why you have withdrawn. Both of you are confused by the other person’s reactions as you alternate between reality and fantasy. Although the truth seems to fluctuate, your most intelligent strategy is to fall back on communication. If in doubt, check it out.
Your planetary ruler Venus may leave you befuddled today as she squares delusional Neptune. On the other hand, this aspect can also activate your highest ideals. Although this can play out in the realm of relationships, the current activation of your 2nd House of Finances is likely to create a lack of clarity around money issues. Don’t make any unnecessary expenditures since your desires may change dramatically over the next several days.
It’s difficult to concentrate today because Venus, the planet of personal attractions, is doing battle with Neptune, the planet of spiritual attractions. Venus is in dualistic Gemini, making you feel pulled in two entirely different directions, even if the consequences of your choices aren’t very clear. Don’t give in to temptation now; try to listen to the cool voice of reason instead of letting your imagination run wild.
Your dreams are in bright colors today, but the beauty of the images is less important than the serious message that the symbols convey. However, it’s not a good idea to be too concrete in your interpretations, for your imposed logic could squelch your creative high. Instead, do whatever you can to capture the magical energy that is flowing through you. And if others want you to report on your current actions, tell them that you require more time to put your facts in order.
You may not be ready to share what’s on your mind because you can see everything in the form of visions today, and words cannot easily communicate their subtlety. Taking time for things to settle down will enable you to make smarter choices about how much to verbalize. Until you know for sure, it’s wiser to err on the side of discretion. You can always tell more later; however, once you start to open up, you won’t be able to take back what has already been said.
Venus’ square to fuzzy Neptune in your 7th House of Others could make others seem more wishy-washy today. It doesn’t matter what you say, they still won’t be specific enough. You can’t respond to the current circumstances if everyone stops short of speaking their mind. Instead of making someone angry with your incorrect assumptions, wait for a couple of days and then start your search for the truth again when you have more information at your disposal.
Your key planet Venus is in your 9th House of Big Ideas yet her square to diffusive Neptune makes it difficult to know exactly what you want. You may be overwhelmed by your dreams of an ideal vacation or your attraction to a new philosophy or religion. But when you get closer to your imagined future, it crumbles before your eyes. Don’t accept defeat; create a more realistic set of goals and try again.
Your current approach to love is gentler than usual, but it’s still very much you, even if your desires are colored by your vulnerability today. Nevertheless, it’s okay to trust the innate wisdom of the universe; you probably don’t need to keep to yourself as much as you think. Remember that others may not understand your actions now, so it’s wise to take time and explain yourself as clearly as possible.
You might try to keep your feelings in check today, but your desire to be heard will probably win out over your need to play it safe. Unfortunately, your message may be muddled because you don’t actually know what you want, and the more you say the worse it gets. Don’t bother trying to explain yourself yet. Thankfully, you should do better when your clarity begins to return tomorrow.
You’re in for a bit of melodrama today as your plans stumble over your lack of execution. Even if you usually have a knack for making your dreams come true, your ideas may be less practical than you think. You may take a second stab at reaching your destination and could gain better traction later in the day. But don’t turn back; inching forward slowly is still much better than turning around and giving up too soon.
You may need to field an unexpected curve ball today that impacts your financial condition. Although you might believe that you were doing okay, you could overlook an apparently unimportant detail that suddenly becomes problematic. Fortunately, you can react quickly by coming up with a very unique solution as long as you don’t assume that you are in complete control. Flexibility is your secret weapon now.
Venus squares Neptune in sensitive Pisces, tempting you to wear your heart on your sleeve today. But you may be somewhat confused because you aren’t sure if others are reading you correctly or not. Actually, those close to you will be able to sense your emotions before you say anything at all. Avoid overcompensating by talking too much and diluting your message. You can create magic now without uttering a word.
Thursday, June 9, 7:24 am PDT, 10:24 am EDT
Amorous Venus is friendly, flirtatious and fickle in the sign of the butterfly. Fidelity may flag and attention wanders as attraction to diverse people, ideas and experiences pulls hearts and minds in several directions at once. Conversation is the key to seduction in chatty Gemini where being interesting can be more important than being sincere. Experimenting with new forms of pleasure broadens aesthetic palettes as we seek fresh flavors of fun.
The Moon’s visit to your 6th House of Routine can raise your anxiety level today if you cannot figure out a way to completeeverything that you promised. Naturally, it’s not a good idea to blame anyone else for things that are ultimately your responsibility. Fortunately, you are able to approach your dilemma in a mature manner, gently sharing your concerns with those involved instead of dwelling on the past. Focusing on what needs to be done in the present moment elicits cooperation instead of conflict.
You might not feel secure enough to reveal what’s actually on your mind because you’re afraid that the reaction you’ll receive won’t be in your favor. However, if you only share some of your emotions, you could set up a situation where you inadvertently alienate a close friend or lover. Your attempt to withhold parts of your story will be more apparent than you realize. It is better to simply tell everything and then deal with whatever fallout occurs.
The cautious Virgo Moon squares the Sun in your sign today, requiring you to think twice before you act. You may feel as if you should restrain yourself and you’re not too happy about needing to withhold your desires. However, suppression only makes matters worse; it’s smarter to acknowledge potential problems before they fully develop. If your plans aren’t adequate enough to do the job, work on improving them now — not after the fact.
You have an exciting opportunity to see beyond your previously set agenda, but you may need to let go of an immediate goal. However, this shouldn’t be considered a failure since your current course might not be the best way to reach your destination anyhow, even if it seems like a direct route. Forget about your preconceived conclusions and create a new map that’s based on today’s information instead of yesterday’s news.
Your workweek might not be going according to plan, but it could turn out fine as long as you don’t try to control everything. Paradoxically, the more you resist change, the harder it is for you to adapt. Set your short-term goals aside for a day or two and think about the distant future while you respond to the current circumstances the best you can. Remember, this is not about sacrificing important values; it’s about avoiding self-doubt.
The Moon’s visit to your sign can raise worries as you try to balance your feelings with your current objectives at work. You may be able to put your best foot forward now by acting more confident than you feel, only to realize that your workmates expect more out of you. Don’t be afraid to acknowledge your limitations. Your honesty will be refreshing to others, motivating them to come to your support.
Your role at work is slowly but profoundly transforming as others begin to acknowledge your authority. Only recently, you might have had to struggle to get your opinion heard, but now your astute perspective is in demand. However, overextending your control may bring your success to a halt. Remember, it’s not important to be on top as long as you have your hand in creating the big changes that are unfolding.
Relationships are not as complicated as they seem, even if your feelings are more intense than others want to deal with today. You are eager to work on your communication style, but you need to be noticed for your efforts. Unfortunately, painful memories can cloud your mind, making it harder to hear the positive feedback you receive. Try not to let old emotional tapes get in the way of any praise that comes your way now.
Your key planet Jupiter harmonizes with imaginative Neptune today, activating your vision of an ideal future. Although your new goals may not be fully grounded in reality, they can still inspire you to work harder to break through old limitations. However, it might seem as if your current work duties are standing in your way of your long-term success. Don’t make any significant changes just yet; fulfilling your immediate responsibilities may help your progress more than you realize.
You are at a fork in the road and events at work may create a minor crisis today, requiring you to choose which route to take. Fortunately, you are not restrained by the usual set of rules, enabling you to find a solution where others have already failed. Ironically, accepting a new responsibility could prove to get in your way of success. Remember, your ability to remain detached from the outcome is what gives you the winning strategy.
You might actively disagree with someone at work today and think that a heated argument is needed in order to shift the energy. However, conflict won’t bring you any closer to the truth, and may even add to the existing animosity. You can be highly productive if you don’t become distracted by a petty disagreement. Instead of allowing yourself to get hooked by your emotions, rise above any difference of opinion and commit to working for the highest cause.
You may appear somewhat lost today as the magnifying lens of Jupiter hooks up with illusory Neptune to make your dreams seem vividly real. Fortunately, you are more practical than usual now, for the exacting Virgo Moon sharpens your senses. Don’t worry about what others may be thinking; they will soon recognize the usefulness of your ideas as your plans take shape over the days ahead.
You may not get caught up with your work as fast as you wish today, for your mind is preoccupied with pleasure rather than production. It’s a smart idea to get the distractions out of your system now, for you have too much to do and won’t be able to procrastinate forever. Nevertheless, returning to your unfulfilled obligations with a smile on your face will help you accomplish more in the long run.
You have an opportunity today to finish up lots of little tasks at work and at home, including emailing friends, paying bills and cleaning your office. However, don’t be too concerned if you don’t make measurable progress by the end of the day, for it may take a while to get ahead. Nevertheless, your optimism now can motivate you to reach your goals as long as you don’t try to do everything all at once.
You may be holding on to negative feelings about an unfinished conversation yesterday, but you would be wise to let go and move on. You have other fish to fry now and it’s more important to look forward than waste time replaying an interaction that didn’t go as smoothly as expected. Planning for new successes throughout the coming week is much more useful than worrying about the past.
It’s dangerous to make assumptions or jump to conclusions today because once you make up your mind, you’re pretty certain that you are correct. Unfortunately, you could be a victim now of believing your own hype. The good news is that your current breadth of vision can fuel amazing discussions on a variety of interesting topics. As fascinating as your conversations might be, specific things that remain unsaid may be even more important than what is stated out loud.
You may find it challenging today to handle the consequences of your anger that seems to resurface from time to time, even if you already dealt with the original source of the problem. Thankfully, you can lean on your friends for support now, which may be enough to help you over a rough spot. But don’t ask anyone to fix anything; instead, take responsibility by learning from your past mistakes and being flexible enough to adapt to the changing tides.
It’s hard for you to relax today because you have so much to do at work. Although you’re buzzing all over the place with the Sun and Mercury in your professional 10th house, you probably wish you had a few more days to your weekend because you need more time to think. Nevertheless, your time for contemplation may be over for a while. Just enter the flow of activity and figure it out along the way.
It’s often challenging for you to make a long-term decision about your plans, especially when there are so many amazing choices. But don’t let anyone tell you that you need to decide today, for you would be smarter to keep your options open. There is currently a lot of blue sky around you, making everything appear better than it is. Wait until a few clouds return and see where the shadows are cast before going on record with your final answer.
Your anger may develop throughout the day if anyone is trying to talk you out of your actual feelings. Uncharacteristically, you might be willing to change your mind today, but only on your own terms. If others don’t take the time to find out how you truly feel, then you’re probably not going to compromise. However, if they are really interested in your perspective, you can be more open-minded now than they expect.
Establishing your priorities can be a real challenge, especially since you don’t want to make important decisions today. It’s not that you should let go of your objectives; it’s just that you have a lot to gain now by following an intelligent friend or partner for a while. Don’t worry about a missed opportunity because a new situation for advancement at your current job is likely. Paradoxically, easing off on your grip can actually solidify your position and increase the possibility of doing something special.
Don’t be afraid to ask for help navigating through unfamiliar territory today. It’s hard to make sense of it all because there could be one too many options, leaving you overwhelmed and exhausted from trying to figure it all out. Your stress multiplies if you believe that your decision must be final now. Rest assured that you will still be able to change your mind later without much difficulty at all.
Instead of booking your day too rigidly, try giving yourself the flexibility you need. One way to accomplish this is to leave large blocks of time completely unstructured for you to do as you please. It may also help to examine your motives for keeping so busy. Remember, you don’t have to put lots of activities on your schedule now in order to be considered a success.
Talking about your feelings can help to dissipate negativity, but you could easily go overboard now and pretend that everything is fine. You must be careful not to whitewash the truth just because it’s not pretty. Don’t worry about other people’s reactions to your opinion; instead, concentrate on the usefulness and accuracy of your message. Avoid the temptation to share your personal information as a way to get your friends and workmates to take notice.
Your unsettled feelings might drive you to the edge today, yet the adrenaline rush lets you know that you are alive. Relationship drama weighs heavily on your mind now, but once you express your intentions, you’ll feel revitalized. Don’t bother trying to figure out what’s going on; all you need is a positive attitude as you reinvent your future.
You may be self-critical today as strict Saturn leans on sweet Venus. If you fall short of fulfilling your desires, you will probably believe that it was your own fault, no matter how much effort you put forth. Although you might not receive the approval you want now, recognition could still come later. Don’t keep everyone at a distance so you can appear invincible. Others will be more likely to support you if you have the courage to reveal your vulnerability and just be yourself.
Your restlessness may be enjoyable now because your current activity level matches the speed at which your thoughts are unfolding. Although you might actually feel quite productive, you won’t likely accomplish as much as you think you will. Ultimately, the choice is yours: fritter your time away doing one trivial thing after another or consciously concentrate on getting the results you want.
You’re ready to swing into motion today, but you may not want to do anything too quickly. It’s wise to spend the morning in contemplation, going over your ideas and analyzing the possible outcomes to each of your ambitious strategies. However, making careful plans isn’t enough to propel you to your desired destination, so use the fiery Leo Moon’s confidence to initiate action that will bring tangible results.
The Moon’s return to your sign today helps you get your intentions out into the open. Even if you’ve been trying to keep your emotions secret, it may be time to take a risk and share them with others. But you cannot just express every single whim that crosses your mind to whomever you happen to be talking to at the moment. Setting healthy boundaries is crucial now. Your inner life is your business alone, unless you choose to discuss your feelings with someone you trust.
The Moon’s shift into your 12th House of Privacy today raises issues, for you’re pulled between telling others what you feel and revealing nothing at all. You will probably be happier if you share some of your secrets with a close friend, but it’s not wise to ramble on. Stay conscious of your message and stop talking before you diffuse what you need to say.
The Moon enters your 11th House of Social Networking today, inviting you to be a more active participant in your group of friends and associates. Your desire to belong to a community motivates you to get involved with others. However, you must draw a firm line to establish your limits now or you’ll be dragged into a drama that needn’t impact you otherwise. Remember, hold your ground in a way that allows you to still join in the fun.
You could be expected to do something at work today that requires you to set aside your personal agenda. Even if you’re committed to excelling at your job, you don’t like it when others assume that you’ll say yes, even before you do. Instead of immediately rearranging your previous schedule to jump into a new assignment, take a risk and share your concerns. Once your position is out on the table, you’ll be able to negotiate a solution that is comfortable for everyone involved.
You may be even more outspoken than normal, stating your opinion on everything and everyone. Others may be confused by your responses because one moment you’re uplifting and inspirational, and just a few minutes later you’re overly pragmatic and resistant to new ideas. Instead of reacting by saying the first thing that crosses your mind, let everyone know that you need to clarify your conflicting thoughts before you draw any conclusions. No one will fault you for this kind of honesty; a little discretion goes a long way.
You may be struggling today as you try to decide whether to share your desires with someone you admire. You want your feelings to be acknowledged, but you might be afraid of being rejected. If you go ahead and take a risk, at least reveal your emotions consciously, without expecting any particular response. The smartest way to minimize potential emotional discomfort is to stay unattached from the outcome. The real magic now is found in embarking on the journey, and not arriving at the destination.
It’s all too easy for you to slip back into an old, familiar relationship pattern as the Moon enters your 7th House of Companions. Although the Moon connects you to the past, there’s no guarantee that a tried and true method will work today because active Mars is aspecting unruly Uranus. Instead of reacting impulsively, consider the consequences before doing something you might quickly regret.
The Moon’s shift into your 6th House of Health today reminds you of the relationship between diet, exercise and your overall well-being. Even if you’re already eating organically and practicing yoga, it may be time to make minor improvements to your daily regimen. It’s always wise to cultivate more awareness and enhance your lifestyle; even the littlest adjustments now can have significant positive ramifications.
Although things appear to be moving forward at first, your vision seems to be obscured today. You’re ready for action, but it’s hard to tell where you are going now. Even if you intuitively know that it makes sense to cool your jets, your frustration won’t likely dissipate until you start making progress. Nevertheless, it will be easier to head off in a new direction once the fog clears next week.
You may be losing patience with people who turn small problems into major crises. But even if you know that some damage control is necessary today, you might not be in a position to do what’s required. Rather than pretending you have a sensible plan, ease up on your reins and let events take their own course for now. You will be more effective if you wait until Monday to saddle up and take charge.
You believe that you’re clever enough to lead others successfully. You’re so good at spinning stories now that you could even convince yourself. However, it’s like you’re currently walking through a carnival house of mirrors and your perceptions are bent way out of shape. Stepping back and allowing someone else to take control today can save you from additional complications next week.
Although you are sympathetic to other people’s feelings, you may try to hide behind a protective shell because the energy is so intense now. The Moon’s return to your sign complicates your life because there are so many crosscurrents that you can’t tell which way to go. Don’t let anyone intimidate you into making a decision prematurely. It’s much easier to change your mind before you commit than after you’ve headed off in the wrong direction.
You may be a bit befuddled today because you want to take action, yet the flow of energy is predominately inward. The Moon in your 12th House of Soul Consciousness reflects your current need to escape from the hustle and bustle of the outer world. But a difficult situation pressures you to do something about it now. If it seems like you’re riding an emotional rollercoaster, just hold on tightly and wait until your feelings smooth out before letting others know what’s on your mind.
Others often come to you for advice when they need a sharp analytical mind to assess their predicaments. However, you’re the one that’s now seeking a reality check. Unfortunately, you can’t rely on anyone else today, for everyone is just as perplexed as you are. Delay any important decisions that you can, for your mental acuity will return next week.
It’s challenging to settle your nerves today because your current anxiety is coming from several different sources. Unfortunately, isolating individual problems and solving them won’t address the overall big picture. Instead of seeking solutions that require practical thinking and specific action, you’re better off now to work on improving your attitude. If you can be flexible enough about what is happening, you’ll realize that you don’t have to waste energy worrying about things you cannot control.
It may seem as if someone is pushing you into an unwanted leadership role today. You don’t want to take charge now because you’re not really sure about the future. Nevertheless, everyone is still looking to you for direction. You don’t need to pretend that you know more than you actually do. You can still effectively share your current thinking while acknowledging that you don’t have all the answers. Meanwhile, don’t forget to give yourself permission to feel special because your peers truly believe in you.
Your concern over someone’s behavior today may present a problem. Your temptation is to share your strong opinion, especially if you believe that your ideas can help others see the truth. But it’s not as straightforward as it appears because self-righteousness can lead you astray. The warning signal is thinking that your way is the only way. Keeping an open mind can turn a huge obstacle into a small bump in the road.
You may be annoyed today about having to deal with associates who won’t acknowledge their real motives. You are able to be flexible now if you know the truth, but you don’t want to draw your conclusions based upon incomplete data. Unfortunately, misinterpretations are likely because the information just isn’t as clear as you want. Stop struggling; your current disorientation will only last for a day or two. In the meantime, cultivate your dreams, instead.
If someone presents you with a problem today, don’t make judgments based upon how you might react in a similar situation. You are wired to be cool and calm, even in a highly charged situation, while others are likely to get caught up in a drama. Be a real friend now and don’t be overly critical; simply listen to their stories and offer your shoulder when needed.
You may believe that you’re being extremely productive and want others to notice what you’re doing. But it’s not a good idea to bring too much attention to yourself now because your work isn’t necessarily as great as you think it is. Your illusions are flowing freely today, testing your ability to maintain a clear perspective. Your desires are warping your perceptions, so lying low and remaining under the radar may be your smartest strategy at this time.
Although you might be a bit sleep deprived from all the energy that you have been expending lately, you’ll probably still be raring to go today. Mental Mercury enters airy Gemini, fanning your fires and fueling your enthusiasm. Keep in mind that you can push yourself too hard now, so don’t overdo it by piling more distractions onto your already busy schedule. If you spread yourself too thin, you’ll end up being exhausted by tonight with very little to show for your efforts.
You’ve been waiting for the right time to express a thought that’s been on your mind for a while. Although today may not actually be better than any other day, your frustration could provoke you to start a difficult conversation. However, your friends will lose focus if your words wander aimlessly, so be direct and keep your message short and sweet. Reassure everyone that you’re not seeking a quick answer; you just want to be heard and acknowledged.
Yesterday’s Gemini Solar Eclipse hit the emotional reset button and today when quicksilver Mercury enters your sign, your sense of starting anew is confirmed. But you may have so many possibilities before you that it’s difficult to pick only one. Take some time to think about something in your life that’s already served its purpose and then consider what you want to replace it. Concentrating on your current needs now can have a positive impact on your future.
Your thoughts may be running in many directions today, but communicator Mercury’s shift into your 12th House of Secrets hides your inner process from others. You are self-contained now and your loved ones might not realize the magnitude of your unsettled emotions. Even if you choose not to express your feelings, be sure to stay conscious of them because avoiding your truth isn’t healthy in the long run.
Your co-workers may be placing unspoken demands on you today and you aren’t sure how to deal with them yet. You think that you’re clever enough to work around whatever you don’t know, but you may soon realize that logic won’t be able to help you regain control of your day. You might attempt to guess the true motives of those around you, but this strategy will only bring frustration. Instead of trying to be the perfect employee, practice emotional detachment to alleviate the current pressure.
You are uncertain how to respond as you try to establish new objectives at work. It’s challenging to separate the useful information from everything you’re being told today as your key planet Mercury enters noisy Gemini and your 10th House of Career. Thinking about all the possibilities can be a daunting task if you need to make long-term decisions now. Thankfully, you have more time than you realize and should be able to gain more clarity over the next few days.
You could have more bounce to your step today, as if a lightness of being has entered your body and activated your cells all the way down to the tips of your toes. However, your head is also affected as the changing clouds move quickly across your mental landscape. Luckily, Mercury shifts into your 9th House of Future Vision, encouraging you to reach further than usual. Give yourself permission to fantasize about what’s ahead without worrying about whether or not it’s actually possible.
Mercury’s shift into airy Gemini today brings intellectual acuity to your 8th House of Intimate Sharing, reinforcing your need to intensify your emotional interactions. Naturally, digging deep is an important part of being a passionate Scorpio, yet now you can explore the shadows from a more lighthearted and logical perspective. Nevertheless, you must be careful, for you could still be overwhelmed by unconscious desires if you don’t monitor what you feel as you go along.
Interactive Mercury enters your 7th House of Others, shifting the emphasis onto how you respond in a relationship, rather than what you might choose to do on your own. The focus seems to be on everyone else but you today. Unfortunately, if you attempt to play the lead, things could get complicated quickly. Keep in mind that you can have more fun if you’re willing to step out of the spotlight for a while and play a supporting role, instead.
It’s not easy to remain serious today, even if you have critical responsibilities to fulfill. Mercury’s entry into flighty Gemini can scatter your thoughts as fast as you refocus them. Every time you concentrate, something exciting comes along to pull you off track and down a curiously fascinating detour. Stop resisting the inevitable; instead of trying to be productive, just let go and see where the intellectual currents take you.
A plethora of pleasing planetary positions pulls you away from your obligations today. Initially, you may set your goals high, but as the day progresses, the opportunity for play outweighs the potential rewards for hard work. Mercury’s shift into your 5th House of Spontaneity indicates that it’s wiser now to put aside your previous plans and simply make up new ones as needed.
Although you could be required to go to work today, you may consider staying home anyway. Your friends might think that your current desire for solitude is a sign that something is wrong, but they couldn’t be further from the truth. Carving out a bit of time to focus on your home and family is a smart way to get in tune with Mercury’s move into your 4th House of Roots. Don’t worry about what others say; your inner security counts more than anything else now.
Thursday, June 2, 1:03 pm PDT, 4:03 pm EDT
Instead of aimlessly waiting to see where your day goes, create a basic plan upon rising today. It won’t be difficult to balance your social activities with a few nagging chores as long as you keep your to-do list very short. Something fun may come up but you might need to say no if you haven’t managed your time well. Thankfully, you can circumvent this all-too-familiar routine by simplifying your day and fulfilling your commitments early on.
You can turn this into a very relaxing day, even if you have several things you need to accomplish. The Moon’s conjunction with sweet Venus in sensible Taurus helps you maintain a positive attitude, even while circumstances test you. Not much can deter you now, for you’re able to take everything in stride. Your mission today is simple: enjoy yourself as much as you can.
The cluster of planets in your 12th House of the Unknown indicates that someone might be hiding the truth from you — or, at least, that’s what you believe. Your mind latches on to a mystery now, leading you to conclude that others are withholding important information. Although your suspicions are largely unfounded, a miscommunication can still send you on a strange detour. Thankfully, untangling the puzzle will be easy enough with a bit of concentration.
It’s not about the quantity of your closest comrades; it’s the quality of the relationships that sets you apart now. Fortunately, your social life should be pretty stable now with the nurturing Moon in your 11th House of Community. It’s important for you to feel emotionally secure and it makes you happy to be able to lean on a few very solid friends. Bask in the glow of camaraderie as you spend special time with those who support your dreams.
Someone close to you may ask for your help now because you come across as a responsible person who can hold your position with grace when things get tough. But you don’t need to have any special answers; just being there is enough. Your contribution is to be a good listener while sorting through the questions. Even if you are uncertain of the best approach, your relentless loyalty can make a world of difference.
You aren’t listening to what others want today because you have a specific idea of your perfect day and you’re already on your way. However, your partner or friends might not understand your current choices, and things can get complicated if you don’t take the time to explain yourself. Keep in mind that your singular focus on your goals might prevent you from seeing the obvious. There’s no need to push yourself; slowing down enables you to enjoy the good things in your life right now.
You might think that you know what needs to be done now to make your partner happier or your friends feel better. But over-personalizing someone else’s problems can be frustrating and could make your day less enjoyable. Linking your satisfaction to others is tricky business; it may leave you feeling depleted and won’t necessarily help them. Your smartest strategy is to be a sympathetic listener and offer support without attempting to fix anything.
Four planets in stubborn Taurus are activating your 7th House of Relationships, and no matter how confident you feel today, it’s wise to remember that your point of view is only one out of many. It’s not that you have drawn an incorrect conclusion; it’s just that there are multiple roads leading to an infinite number of destinations. Reality is not as rigid as it currently appears. Be flexible in your thinking now, for new possibilities will appear sooner than you expect.
If you want to do something special today, you may become so obsessed with making it happen that you’re limited by your goals, rather than inspired by them. However, the current situation could play out much differently. If you remember to use your common sense then you’ll be more willing to shift your approach. Altering the direction of your arrow while it’s in flight is not only possible — it could be your smartest move.
It’s time to shatter another Capricorn myth. You may be the best planners in the zodiac, yet you also know how to live in the moment. Although you’re no stranger to delaying personal gratification when necessary, the current emphasis on your 5th House of Spontaneity indicates that you’re ready to put pleasure ahead of responsibility today. Don’t worry about what anyone else is thinking; just experience the joy of this moment as if you’ve been rehearsing for it your entire life.
Having a solid home and family life can be a major blessing with the Moon in your 4th House of Roots. However, you also may experience complicated emotions about your obligations that restrain your freedom. Domestic relationships can feel like a double-edged sword as their responsibilities go hand-in-hand with their rewards. Tread carefully and don’t make any foolish declarations of independence that result from your frustration, or you may have to eat your words tomorrow.
Your appointment with destiny is on schedule, even if it’s not on your calendar today. You might be hesitant to make significant changes in your life now, especially if the major pieces are working. However, you feel a growing pressure from within and realize that sooner or later you will have to acknowledge what’s in your heart, even if it messes with the stability of your personal life.
You’re conflicted today as you sense the shift of energy and the intensity begins to fade. You’re simultaneously happy and sad to feel this pause in all the action. Be smart and take advantage of the peace and quiet by doing something mellow to recharge your batteries. Your refreshed vitality will be needed once the pace picks up again in a few days.
Instead of expending your energy doing a variety of tasks, delay some of your chores for another time. Today is your day to relax and simply contemplate your life. Others may think you’re just being lazy, but that’s because they don’t appreciate how you process information. You need time to integrate recent experiences, so give yourself permission to enjoy yourself instead of running around in circles.
You may be quite insistent these days because you are driven by Mercury, Venus and Mars all visiting your 12th House of Destiny. You are often very adaptable, but now you can grow quite stubborn, especially if your goals are within reach. You’re not willing to step out of conflict’s way just to make your day easier. Stand up for yourself by directly facing anyone who threatens your progress. Remember, you can always demonstrate your flexibility at another time.
You want to hang out with some of your friends or members of your family today, but have no actual agenda other than talking about your dreams and what you want to do in your life. Keep in mind that expressing your visions of the future isn’t just about taking a flight of fancy. To the contrary, let yourself feel the down-to-earth pull from the practical Taurus planets by establishing clear priorities and then sticking to your action plan.
You may be at odds with yourself today; on one hand, you’re annoyed that your spontaneity is being constrained by previous obligations, affording you less wiggle room than you prefer. And yet you know exactly what you have to do now, even if you’re tempted to avoid your responsibilities. However, being practical is your best course of action at this time. Don’t worry; you’ll have more opportunity to play later on in the week.
You have big plans and want to get a lot accomplished today. You’re thrilled because you are finally able to work at your own pace and sustain your efforts on your own power. But don’t listen to those who try to get you to work faster; you will naturally make choices that increase your productivity in the long run. If necessary, put your foot down before shifting your plans to accommodate someone else. Save the negotiating for another day.
A casual relationship will likely become more intense now as the Moon enters your 8th House of Deep Sharing and your feelings become fixed. You’re not interested in getting involved in some new age group process; you’d rather do it on your own. Nevertheless, you’ll gain a healthier perspective if you can find one trustworthy person to confide in. But don’t be too impatient today, for there are no immediate shortcuts on the road to mutual understanding.
Someone who is thinking too much can get on your nerves today, since you don’t understand why anyone would choose to make life more complex than it already is. You would prefer not to interfere, but you also want to wake them up from their little misunderstanding. Although it may appear that this is another person’s problem, it’s really yours, too. Nevertheless, this might be one of those times when you need to accept responsibility for your own feelings and then just let go of control.
Four planets in your 6th House of Minor Annoyances could bog you down in unnecessary details while you’d prefer to focus on the big picture. Still, you may be faced with the very real necessity of living simply and getting back to basics today. Do what you can to carve out your quiet path in an exciting and noisy day. Find a healthy balance between your adventurous spirit and your single-minded ambition.
If you attended to your work when you should have, now you get to play. Other people may be jealous when you get to relax, for they still have unfinished chores that are infringing upon their time for fun. Nevertheless, you aren’t perfect, and today’s pressure could highlight something else you should have already completed. Do what you must but don’t take on too much; it’s far better to enjoy yourself as long as you can.
You have work to do around the home today, but you may not be eager to start. Obviously, you realize that procrastination delays everything else you want to do, too. Lean on your own convictions; overcome your inertia and fulfill your responsibilities. Do your household chores now instead of putting them off until later. It may not be easy to initiate action, but you’ll feel more confident once you get going.
If you have specific plans for the week ahead, you won’t want to stop and change them once you are already in motion. Although your determination tends to work in your favor by helping you to be more effective, it can also add to your stress if circumstances change. Your insistence on maintaining the status quo could be your downfall today. A little flexibility on your part can ease a difficult situation if you are stuck. Don’t miss the chance to be a hero now.
You must be on guard against your tendency to respond too quickly when interacting with others today. Someone might mistake your intensity for anger, or it’s possible that you’re really mad and don’t even realize it. Either way, it’s healthyto take a few relaxing breaths to check in with your emotions before losing your temper and dumping unresolved feelings onto those closest to you.
You may have a very vivid dream that doesn’t make any sense to you, no matter how you try to interpret it. Oddly enough, you could be reminded of the nonsensical images when something happens during the day to bring the entire fantasy back to consciousness. There’s no need to force rational meaning onto a mysterious message from your unconscious. Simply remembering dreams is sufficient for them to work their magic.
It’s challenging to know how hard to push now because others may take offense with your insistence. But your actions come in bursts today; you’re enthusiastic one moment and then feeling spaced out the next. Nevertheless, your uneven energetic flow will likely be confusing to others, so take the time to explain yourself instead of talking in clever riddles that leave too much room for misinterpretation.
Your friends and family may think that you are being too much of a mother hen who smothers them with love today. But you know what needs to be done and are quickly irritated when no one else seems to have a clue. Even if you’re eager to jump in and fix what’s wrong, it’s smart to see if anyone even wants your help. If you feel compelled to assist, your deeds will probably be perceived as meddling. However, if you come from a place of love, your simple presence can be a healing force.
You may need to handle an unresolved relationship issue today. Your friends might think that you have been exerting too much control, but you don’t see it that way at all. Instead of allowing yourself to become irritated because others don’t really understand you, take this as an opportunity to show your true colors. Just keep in mind that being more flexible will help you overcome your petty annoyances and enable others to see the real you.
You have a certain idea about how your day should go and you want to put things back on track when it begins to deviate from your plan. You would like to show a more easygoing side of yourself today, but it’s challenging to let go of control when you believe that you are holding it all together. Unfortunately, your priorities may be bent out of shape. Consider this situation as an opportunity to develop trust. Sure, you could engineer more perfection into your world now, but the cost may be higher than you realize.
You would prefer it if your friends were more cooperative today, but instead they seem to be acting contrary to your wishes just to agitate you. However, they actually just want to do as they wish and be free of judgment. Examine your unspoken expectations before criticizing someone else. You may be wiser now to dig into your shadow and look at your own motives before coming down hard on others.
The Moon in hotheaded Aries suggests that you might have to lose your temper today to establish an important boundary. Unfortunately, it may be impossible to know how you’re doing because your subjectivity allows you to see things the way you want them to be, rather than how they actually are. Nevertheless, trusting your intuition is a good idea now as long as you don’t let fear overrule love.
You are often inspired by hope, but today it’s more important to let practicality be your guide, because the present moment is more significant than any future possibility. Still, your dreams don’t need to be shelved; they just have to be relocated into the here and now. Focusing on your immediate concerns is your best strategy to keep your life from growing even more complicated.
You may believe that you don’t have to follow every rule to the letter today since it feels as if you are responsible to a higher spiritual authority. Be careful, for this is a tricky rationalization and you don’t have cosmic permission to be destructive or reckless. You can, however, be imaginative and original. Just remember that intelligence is wasted unless you’re also acting with compassion. It’s more important to be caring than to be clever.
You have been zapped recently by Uranus the Awakener and it’s time to finish your joyride and ease yourself back to reality. However, there’s no need to worry if you don’t have anything to show from your exciting little junket; your altered perspective is enough. But even if you think you know the truth now, remember that things are still in flux. Although the pace of your life is slower today, stay flexible and remain open to change.
It’s difficult to make choices today because your reality is littered with ideas that have leaked through from your imagination. Unfortunately, you might be challenged to distinguish fact from fiction. Fortunately, the overflow from your dreams can make your life more interesting. Don’t try to establish the truth yet; just enjoy the show and wait until tomorrow to decipher the meaning of it all.
