Emily Trinkaus on the topics of zodiac, insight, astrologyDiamond: Like Aries, a sign known for its strength and survival skills, the diamond is the hardest of the gems. The diamond carries masculine energy, evoking your inner warrior and helping you to pursue your goals and persevere in challenging times. Considered the stone of innocence and purity, this precious gem also assists you with attaining spiritual clarity and speaking your heart’s truth. The diamond, associated with wealth, can help you attract abundance in all areas of life.
Additional gemstones associated with Aries: Bloodstone, Jasper, Ruby, Carnelian, Garnet
Amber: Amber is not actually a stone, but the petrified resin of trees that once grew in forests along the Baltic sea — appropriately earthy origins for nature-loving Taurus. Amber’s gold-orange color is known for grounding and stabilizing higher spiritual energies into the physical body. Its influence is simultaneously calming and energizing, enhancing patience, protection and balance. Amber is said to absorb negative energy, thereby promoting the body’s ability to heal itself.
Additional gemstones associated with Taurus: Rose Quartz, Turquoise, Blood Coral, Emerald, Sapphire
Agate: Mentally active (and sometimes hyperactive) Gemini can benefit from the grounding and calming influence of this stone. By strengthening the body’s connection to the Earth, agates enhance courage and vitality while protecting from energy drains and stress. Considered a stone of harmony, the agate can inspire the Twins’ multiple personalities to come into a state of balance and integration. Carry or wear agate when you have to make an important decision — this stone will sharpen your sight, stimulate your intellect and dispel fears.
Additional gemstones associated with Gemini: Citrine, Chrysoprase, Pearl, Moonstone, White Sapphire
Moonstone: This magical gemstone is, not surprisingly, associated with the Moon, Cancer’s planetary ruler. Moonstone is said to absorb the healing power of the Moon, and the most powerful time to wear it is during a Full Moon. Moonstone offers protection for Cancer’s sensitive nature while enhancing intuition, feminine energies and psychic abilities. Considered a stone of inner growth and spiritual perception, Moonstone is an excellent ally during meditation. Additionally, Moonstone brings success in both love and business.
Additional gemstones associated with Cancer: Pearl, Emerald, Ruby
Tourmaline: Tourmaline is often associated with the heart, the part of the body ruled by Leo. This stone can help you open yourself to love, and it enhances compassion, happiness and serenity. Leo is a naturally creative zodiac sign, and tourmaline provides added inspiration — or can help jumpstart the process if you’re feeling blocked. Tourmaline strengthens your ability to manifest your goals, and it attracts abundance and prosperity as it makes others more receptive to your talents. Traditionally used as a meditation stone, tourmaline is also considered helpful for channeling.
Additional gemstones associated with Leo: Carnelian, Sardonyx, Onyx, Golden Topaz
Blue Sapphire: Considered a sacred stone in Buddhism, the blue sapphire brings order and clarity to the mind, thereby increasing your ability to access spiritual wisdom. Since Virgo is prone to anxiety and worry — populating the mind with distracting or unproductive thoughts — this gemstone is particularly useful. The color blue is traditionally associated with the heavens, and Virgo benefits from this reminder of a higher perspective. Blue sapphire also increases mental flexibility, helping Virgos release hardened attitudes and open themselves to new possibilities.
Additional gemstones associated with Virgo: Jasper, Carnelian, Jade, Moss Agate
Lapis Lazuli: Considered a stone of universal truth and friendship, lapis is said to foster harmony in relationships — always a priority for significant-other-oriented Libra. At the same time, Lapis supports expressing your authentic self and inner truth, which can sometimes be challenging for this peace-seeking sign. Highly valued for its spiritual properties, lapis helps you to access sacred knowledge, expand consciousness, communicate with your spirit guides, and purify your mind and soul.
Additional gemstones associated with Libra: Opal, Emerald, Rose Quartz, Peridot (Chrysolite)
Aquamarine: The name of this beautiful blue gemstone refers to the ocean, and resonates with Scorpio’s watery nature. The element Water represents the emotional realm, and Scorpio’s waters run deep — so deep, in fact, that this sign sometimes gets lost in the depths. Aquamarine can soothe Scorpio’s intense emotions and counteract the forces of darkness, bringing a sense of tranquility, as well as clear insight, to underlying feelings. By aligning the physical and spiritual bodies, Aquamarine can help you attune to higher levels while remaining grounded.
Additional gemstones associated with Scorpio: Black Obsidian, Topaz, Beryl, Apache Tear, Coral
Turquoise: Valued as a sacred stone in many spiritual traditions, turquoise helps truth-seeking Sagittarius attune to higher consciousness. Additionally, turquoise is considered a communication stone, enhancing a speaker’s eloquence, honesty and creativity — and offsetting the Sagittarian foot-in-mouth syndrome. Turquoise improves the mind by increasing intuition, sensitivity and positive thinking, resulting in a calmer mental state that leads to greater wisdom.
Additional gemstones associated with Sagittarius: Topaz, Sapphire, Amethyst, Ruby
Ruby: By enhancing confidence, courage and joy, ruby can compensate for the Capricorn tendency toward melancholia and negativity. Ruby’s deep red color strengthens the heart and invites love for self, others and spirit. Capricorn has a well-deserved reputation as the hardest-working sign of the zodiac, and ruby is a great ally in restoring depleted energy reserves and promoting stamina, vitality and strength. Ruby is said to increase generosity as well as attract abundance and prosperity.
Additional gemstones associated with Capricorn: Black Onyx, Garnet, Agate
Garnet: If Aquarians get stuck in the mental realm, garnet can help bring this sign back into the body by boosting sexual energy, passion, sensuality and general vitality. Friends and community are of great importance to Aquarius, and garnet both stabilizes relationships and enhances popularity. Garnet is said to promote success in business and improve higher education and professional prospects. On a spiritual level, garnet heightens clairvoyant abilities and is considered a powerful ally for accessing the wisdom of dreams.
Additional gemstones associated with Aquarius: Sugilite, Amethyst, Moss Agate, Opal
Amethyst: Hyper-sensitive and energy-absorbent Pisces can greatly benefit from amethyst, which repels vibrations that the body does not need. Calming both the mind and nervous system, amethyst has been called “nature’s tranquilizer,” and is useful for releasing tension and soothing anxiety. Amethyst can also assist with healing from grief and releasing addictions, and supports general emotional stability. Considered an excellent meditation stone, amethyst enhances psychic abilities and spiritual awareness.
Additional gemstones associated with Pisces: Jade, Aquamarine, Bloodstone, Rock Crystal, Sapphire
We may act on our feelings before we stop to consider how others will react after the Moon shifts into dramatic Leo at 8:00 am EST. We’re impatient to start and our irritability increases as sweet Venus squares abrasive Mars. Emotional stress fuels creativity, but it’s tricky to convert romantic tension into artistic expression. The erratic Sun-Uranus alignment makes it nearly impossible to produce something tangible from all the exciting energy.
You know exactly what you want today, but it might feel unobtainable if you’re afraid that love is slipping through your fingers. Perhaps you created circumstances that set you up for failure. Or maybe you just want more than you can get. Either way, don’t let your current situation hook you emotionally. Practicing a little detachment now allows the tension to resolve quickly, motivating you to get busy with a new source of inspiration
You may first try to resolve the energetic imbalance by acting as pleasantly as you can instead of expressing annoyance with someone you love. Unfortunately, feisty Mars upsets your key planet Venus by urging you to make unreasonable demands today. But hiding your desires might make matters worse. Thankfully, discussing difficult relationship issues in a gentle and caring way can lead to better communication in the days ahead.
You might not realize how expressive you are today, but you could very well drive everyone nuts with your endless chatter. You may think that what you have to say is quite important. Even if it is, keep in mind that stating it once will probably be sufficient for others to get your message. A calm approach helps to avoid conflict and confusion right from the start.
Although relationship dynamics may feel out of balance today, a breakthrough is entirely possible. However, a sudden resolution of tension is more likely if you are less emotionally attached to what happens. But going quiet only drives the negativity deeper. Share your feelings, but don’t try to steer a conversation in a specific direction. The less you have at stake now, the more you stand to gain.
Unspoken obligations prevent you from doing what you wish today, but your guilt may drive your inaction more than any real responsibilities. No matter what you do now, you might not feel completely fulfilled. Working harder isn’t the answer, but neither is escape. Do what is required, but don’t take on additional tasks for the wrong reasons. Ultimately, satisfaction will be yours as long as you direct your energy toward obtaining tangible results.
You may be torn between managing the most practical aspects of your life and exploring all the creative possibilities. You want to stimulate your curiosity and fill your workday with new ideas and pleasurable distractions. However, it’s wiser to stay on course and honor your commitments today. Keep your focus; the best opportunity might be exactly the job you are supposed to be doing right now
Relationships are the source of excitement now, yet they might not bring you the sweet pleasures you seek. Your key planet Venus is retrograde in practical Capricorn, inspiring you to seek safe and secure love. But you may have to fight for what you want as romantic Venus squares combative Mars. A less personal and more philosophical approach on your part can lessen the pressure and put others more at ease.
You could restrain your emotional expression today in order to avoid an unpleasant interaction as your traditional key planet Mars is squared by vulnerable Venus. Unfortunately, your words can betray you, revealing more than you intend. No matter what occurs, let the conversation flow without making a scene; however, be willing to walk away from it quickly if you feel too uncomfortable. Living life with a lighter touch now makes all the difference in the world.
Creativity and romance are dominating your imagination now, and maybe you just want to embark on an exotic adventure to stir up some adrenaline. Unfortunately, your desires may not be fulfilled today. Even if you are enjoying yourself, you might still crave more pleasure. If possible, turn your disenchantment into communication; writing down your thoughts or sharing them with a friend can transform this day into a memorable one. Acknowledging your blessings is a good place to start.
Someone close to you may be withholding his or her true feelings now. As much as you would like to confront the situation directly, you can’t seem to find an easy way to get to the point. Paradoxically, letting go of your attachment to know the truth can be just the right catalyst to start the process of resolution.
As much as you may want to tell everyone what you know, today is a great day to remain quiet and just get your job done as best you can. Even if you feel somewhat lonely now, accepting your isolation could unexpectedly open the doors to greater self-awareness. Listen carefully to your own inner voice; it will give you the best possible advice at this time.
You feel like you need to keep something secret today, but events push you toward disclosure no matter how hard you resist. Still, you might choose to withhold a vital piece of information as if this will increase your power. Unfortunately, deceitful behavior only makes matters worse. It’s better to get everything out into the open and then just let the events unfold however they must. The welcome sense of relief is well worth the temporary discomfort.
The Moon’s vibrations are somewhat uncertain as this day begins due to the fact that the Full Moon occurred last night at 8:53PM — simultaneously staring a void-of-course Moon condition lasting until 5:02AM this morning when the lunar orb enters fiery, warmhearted Leo. Just a few minutes after Leo Moon stakes out its turf in the fifth sign of the zodiac, the Sun squares Ceres (5:07AM) while Mercury parallels Pluto (5:12AM). These two challenging aspects can equate with rising tensions across the board — although you can tweak them in the direction of increasing your productivity and studying psychology and metaphysics. This day is also significant as Venus in Capricorn squares Mars in Libra (9:14AM), the Sun makes an inspirational, 72-degree rapport with Uranus (8:46PM) while Mercury forms a constructive sextile with Uranus (10:26PM). The Venus-Mars clash can ratchet up emotional turbulence across the board, but the Sun-Uranus and Mercury-Uranus alignments are illuminating celestial formations that give your consciousness a notable lift. Keep in mind that the 48-hour time-period following a Full Moon is the perfect opportunity to distribute the spiritual sustenance just received during the solar-lunar crescendo. Playing the role of goodwill ambassador to your fellow earthlings is an exalted, selfless path to travel. [Note to readers: All times are calculated for Pacific Standard Time. Be sure to adjust all times according to your own local time so the alignments noted above will be exact for your location.]
A veil of self-absorption is lifted and suddenly you gain access to an unbiased view of others. This is a rare moment when you can see yourself objectively and become aware of whether or not what you want in your heart is actually beginning to manifest in your life. Traditionally, the Full Moon phase stirs emotion, and this is because when you “see” what is happening, you may become upset if you’re experiencing the “same ole, same ole” — rather than the things you would like. If the Full Moon phase is a disappointment, on the next New Moon it’s time to take creative action in the direction of your dreams.

The Cauldron of Kerridwen Potion
Wolf Moon
Containing the magickal potion of inspiration, the Cauldron of Kerridwen was kept at either Caer Sidhe or the Corona Borealis. Three drop of this magick potion would confer wisdom on any who had the courage to drink it. In mythology, nine maidens guarded the brew, making it a task worthy of Hercules or Zena to procure the potion. Thankfully, you don’t have to go to that extreme because you can make your own using the following instructions.
For this spell, you will need a clear quartz crystal and a chalice filled with spring water.
Begin by clearing and programming your clear quartz crystal. Place the crystal in your power hand, while at the same time placing the middle finger and thumb of your other hand on the bottom and top of the crystal. In your mind’s eye imagine a clear mountain stream running through the crystal, washing it clean of all energy. Use the Vogel Pulsed-Breath technique to charge the crystal, only this time imprint the image of the clear mountain stream instead of the moon into the stone. Pulse your breath into the crystal filling the stone with the image in in your mind. Repeat the process three times for best results.
Repeat the process, only this time imagine all the creative things you want to put into the crystal. Bring them all together into one image and then use your breath to pulse the image into the crystal. Do this three times to make sure the crystal is thoroughly programmed.
Place the crystal in the cup of spring water, and leave it there overnight. In the morning, place the potion in an enclosed jar, and use sparingly, three drops at a time, for filling yourself and everyone around you with creative energy.
Jeff Jawer on the topics of horoscopes, full moon, cancer, astrologyThe sensitive Cancer Moon opposing the pragmatic Capricorn Sun on January 15, 2014, is a dance between soft and hard. Inner needs dominate from the lunar side but external demands tell the solar half of the story. Both signs, though, share an interest in security. Finding ways to protect feelings while taking on the tough tasks of the world is the gift and challenge of this Full Moon. Stabilizing Saturn in Scorpio’s favorable connections with the Sun and Moon reward those who dig deeply to reveal untapped resources and unmet needs.
This Full Moon in subjective Cancer and your 4th House of Roots turns your attention inward. It helps you to recognize what you need to stay on the road to success. Emotional support is essential but getting it may require you to open up and expose your inner self. You usually try to avoid feeling vulnerable, but allowing this can lead to the kind of tenderness that supplies the drive required to reach your professional goals.
Tender words and imaginative ideas flow freely with this sensitive Cancer Full Moon in your 3rd House of Communication. There is a risk of taking everything too personally, but if insecurities don’t get out of hand, greater intimacy and trust will follow. A more caring way of connecting helps to overcome differences of philosophies and long-range goals. Adapting to immediate circumstances reduces stress about the future.
This security-conscious Cancer Full Moon lands in your 2nd House of Resources to shine a light on how you handle your assets. If a financial crisis flares up, slowing down your reaction to it will help you to make a wise decision. Stabilizing Saturn’s favorable aspects to this Sun-Moon opposition helps you to resist pressure from others with patience and maturity that earns you trust and, perhaps, more money as well.
The Full Moon in your sign lights up your 1st House of Personality. Feelings come to the surface and your reactions to people grow stronger. Putting yourself first, though, is the message of this lunation. Reliable Saturn’s favorable angle to the Sun and Moon encourages self-trust and offers the confidence needed to pursue your desires with the focus, commitment, and persistent needed to get what you want.
Imagination, intuition, and enlightenment are potential gifts of this Cancer Full Moon. It occurs in your 12th House of Spirituality where you benefit from having more private time. Communing with nature and engaging in prayer, meditation, or yoga are excellent ways to gain inner strength and support. Awakening to a higher sense of purpose can give new meaning to your life and clarify a big decision about work.
This emotionally charged Cancer Full Moon lands in your 11th House of Groups where it can spur a crisis among colleagues or friends. While over-reacting isn’t recommended, it’s still healthier to express strong feelings than to keep them to yourself. You’re likely to find that others are having similar responses and that your honesty can be a motivating force that brings more passion and motivation to the team.
Professional matters are likely to take priority with this Cancer Full Moon in your 10th House of Career. While gaining attention and getting additional duties are possible, it seems that you need to be emotionally invested in your job to appreciate it now. If challenges arise at work, avoid making a big scene about them. Instead, take a long, hard look at the path you’re on and think about changing course if you’re not happy.
Visions of faraway places can make it difficult to feel settled and comfortable where you are. This emotionally charged Cancer Full Moon occurs in your 9th House of Travel. Restlessness is likely, which can be helpful if it motivates you to broaden your horizons. Connecting with people in distant locations and a sudden desire to advance your education are favorable potential outcomes of this soul stirring transit.
Relationships could grow in intensity with this emotional Cancer Full Moon in your 8th House of Deep Sharing. Demanding partners — personal and professional — challenge you to meet their needs. Deciding which, if any, are worth responding to is part of this event is about. Another side of it, though, is for you to open up and expose your vulnerability. Doing so can earn trust and greater intimacy with others.
The cuddly and self-protective Cancer Moon opposes the Sun in your pragmatic sign. This occurs in your 7th House of Partners where it tests your ability to respond to emotional people. Being tender with others is essential to maintaining productive alliances. Their strong feelings might upset your plans, but if you’re willing to show some flexibility, current connections are deepened and new ones likely to occur.
Powerful feelings can have an effect on your work with this Cancer Full Moon in your 6th House of Employment. You could be feeling moody or insecure about your job, but the higher purpose of this lunation is to engage you more deeply in your daily tasks. You’re being pushed beyond your intellect to tap into emotions that don’t make immediate sense, but which might show you the way to happiness.
This could be a delicious Cancer Full Moon because it falls in your 5th House of Play, Creativity and Romance. Opening your heart can, of course, lead to some emotional excess, but it’s smarter and safer than suppressing your feelings. Finding an outlet to express yourself through love, art, and imagination is not only exciting, but can build your confidence and make you a more powerful presenter of your ideas.
Wednesday (Mercury): Passion, sex, courage, aggression and protection.
Waxing Moon
The Waxing Moon is the ideal time for magick to draw things toward you.
Moon Sign: Cancer
Cancer: Stimulates emotional rapport between people. Pinpoints need, supports growth and nurtance. Tends to domestic concerns.
Full Moon 11: 52
Full Moon is the time of greatest power.
Incense: Bay laurel
Color: Brown
In the beginning there was neither matter nor energy, neither was
there space nor time, force and form were not. Yet there was
Something. Poised between Spirit and Void, without form or qualities,
pure potentiality, the first physical manifestation had existence.
Scientists call it the Primordial Singularity, occultists call it the
Cosmic Egg.
It changed, and the first moment of time came to be. It
expanded, and space was born. Not the space we know, but one of many
dimensions, and that space was filled with the first Force. So intense
was that Force that space itself altered. Dimensions folded back on
themselves, while others expanded mightily. The first Form came to be.
As the infant universe expanded it changed subtly, and as naturally as
snowflakes forming in the air, the first material manifestation
precipitated out of nothingness. Neither matter nor
energy as we know them, but yet both. The Element Fire was born. The
universe continued to expand, and the one Force became two forces, then
three and finally four. Matter and energy became distinguishable, and
the Element Earth was born from Fire. A hundred thousand years went
by, and the universe continued to expand and cool until, quite
suddenly, the fire died, space became transparent to light, and there
were great clouds of cool gas, moving freely.
The Element Air was born. The clouds began to draw together, then
break apart into smaller clouds, and smaller still, until a limit was
reached, and a hundred thousand clouds collapsed inward upon
themselves, swirling and twisting, flattening and smoothing, rippling,
and organizing themselves. The Element Water was born.
One cloud, like many of its siblings, took on structure like a
great pinwheel, with spiral arms stretching out from its center. It
was Galaxias, our Milky Way. Within its turbulent swirling, smaller
eddies formed and contracted, tighter and tighter. At the center of
one a spark grew bright then another and another. The first stars were
lighted, and shown in a universe grown dark. Many of them burned
prodigally for a time and then exploded, hurling the ashes of their
burning outward, ashes such as oxygen and carbon and
nitrogen; star stuff, life stuff. Generations of stars came and went
over the billions of years, and out in one of the spiral arms a cloud
of gas and dust began to collapse like so many others before. It
contracted, and a new star lighted, with a disc of dust and gas
circling it. The disc became lumpy as grains of dust and crystals of
ice collided and stuck together. The lumps touched and merged, ever
growing in the light of the young star. Finally, nine bodies circled
the new star, which would one day be called Sol, or simply, the Sun.
Third out from the sun a rare event had happened. Two young planets
had collided and merged violently, forming a single planet. In the
violence of that collision, part of the surfaces of both had been
ripped off and hurled out to form a ring of molten rock which quickly
drew together to form a giant satellite. The Earth and the Moon had
been born in a passionate joining.
As the young Earth cooled, great volcanos belched forth gases from
its still hot interior. An atmosphere of steam and carbon dioxide
formed and then clouds appeared. The first rains began, pouring down
on the rocks and washing down into the low places. The oceans were
born. Water evaporated from the oceans and fell again as rain,
dissolving minerals from the rocks and carrying them into the sea. The
early ocean became richer and richer in dissolved minerals and gases.
Lightning in the young atmosphere formed new substances
which added to the complexity of the mix. The dissolved substances in
the oceans became more and more complex, until one day a complex
molecule attracted simpler compounds to itself, and then there were
two, then four. Life was born.
From its simple origins, Life grew in complexity, until one day a patch
of green appeared, drawing energy from the Sun, and exuding oxygen.
Within a short time the atmosphere changed radically. The sky became
blue, the air clear and rich in oxygen. As the Earth had shaped Life,
so Life began to shape the Earth. Delicately balancing and ever
re-balancing between the furnace heat of her sister Venus, and the icy
cold of her brother Mars, Gaia, the Living Earth, had come to be.
The first animals appeared and swam in the oceans. Then
venturesome ones crawled onto the land. The forms taken by life
changed. Fish appeared, and dragons walked the land. Tiny furred
creatures supplanted the great dragons, whose descendants now flew
through the skies, clothed in feathers. By and by some of the furred
creatures came down from the trees and began to walk about on their
hind legs, and then they started picking things up. Soon they were
using the things they picked up. Then they started talking to each
other. After they had been talking for a while, they started thinking.
Some of them even started thinking about where they had come from and
where they were going. And they began to wonder how everything had
come to be – and why.
The Golden Egg
The Golden Egg denotes the opportunity for substantial material gains. However, the Golden Egg is also a reminder that unmanaged greed ensures what gains are made will be lost.
As a daily card, The Golden Egg suggest that the prospects for you to increase your financial wealth are very strong today. Seize whatever opportunities come your way, but don’t ride them too long or you may find yourself no better off than you were before they came along.
What is traditionally known as the Temperance card is a reference to the Soul. Classically female, she is mixing up a blend of subtle energies for the evolution of the personality. One key to interpreting this card can be found in its title, a play on the process of tempering metals in a forge.
Metals must undergo extremes of temperature, folding and pounding, but the end product is infinitely superior to impure ore mined from the earth. In this image, the soul volunteers the ego for a cleansing and healing experience which may turn the personality inside-out, but which brings out the gold hidden within the heart. (This card is entitled “Art” in the Crowley deck.)
We’re tempted to withdraw emotionally today, but that won’t necessarily prevent us from being hurt. Self-protective tactics are more likely to reinforce artificial walls and increase our isolation. Although the sensitive Cancer Moon encourages caution when expressing our feelings, her stressful aspects with wild Uranus and potent Pluto can amplify nearly any drama. Thankfully, the turmoil begins to settle down after tomorrow’s Full Moon.
Your irrepressible frustration may create additional problems today. However, you could discover that the obstacles you’re facing aren’t about your external world. Instead, an old fear or a memory that suddenly resurfaces dampens your confidence. But don’t try too hard to resolve the issue immediately; even if you’re able to let go of the past, it will still take a couple of days to figure out what to do in the present
Your thoughts might wander around your imagination as your fantasies grow out of control. Even if you attempt to communicate a simple idea, it becomes apparent that the actual process is not as straightforward as you wish. Don’t worry; just ride the mental waves as if you were an eagle and then tell the stories about your journey when you return
You are eager to explain your new plan today, but the reflective Cancer Moon offers you enough wisdom to rethink a recent idea before taking it to the next level. Don’t worry if you get lost within your own mental maze now because your perceptions may be a bit fuzzy. Fortunately, your dreams are closer than they appear. Ironically, you can reach your destination faster if you slow down and take your time enjoying the scenery.
You may be considering taking a personal holiday sometime very soon but still might want to do something by yourself today. However, even if you choose to retreat socially, you won’t likely become reclusive. You’re too enamored with others now to fully appreciate your solitude. Even if you’re unclear about how much activity to schedule into your life, be certain to leave room for the ones you love the most.
It’s time to catch up on old business while you have the chance today. Whether you work on a project at home or take care of miscellaneous errands, you can get a lot accomplished if you concentrate on the tasks at hand. However, it’s not necessary to make a big deal about what you’re doing now; sometimes working behind the curtain is more effective than performing under the spotlight. Don’t try to please others with grand gestures; just set your priorities and get busy.
You might have to forget about gaining clarity now that mischievous Mercury is playing its trickster role. Emotions place a layer of subjectivity over your logical thinking, making critical analysis out of the question. Let your intuition guide you today, even if you don’t have all the facts yet. Contrary to what you might believe, there’s no need to struggle in your quest for the truth.
Your message isn’t as important today as you might think. It’s the ideas you don’t share that determine the course of the day as domestic interactions are complicated by unspoken feelings. Ultimately, it’s much easier if everyone is emotionally transparent because having secrets only adds to the tension now. Keep your chin up even if you believe that there is no immediate solution to your current dilemma; your satisfaction is likely being delayed and not denied.
You could be stewing in your own emotional juices today, without any obvious way to communicate what you’re feeling. Thankfully, you’re not isolated from others; it’s just that language doesn’t seem able to convey the necessary nuances of your inner experience. Try playing a song or reading a poem to express what’s in your heart, rather than attempting to explain yourself in awkward detail. Give your inner poet an opportunity to speak and clear the air of any lingering tension.
You might like to escape from the hectic pace of today’s activities. Luckily, there’s a bit of magic in the air that enables you to cast a spell, suspending belief just long enough to slip into a parallel universe for a quick visit. If you keep up external appearances, no one will miss you while your mind is traveling to faraway places. Don’t lose your connection to the real world; luckily, you can be in two places at once.
You’re not amused today if your tight grip on reality seems to loosen. Nevertheless, it may be nearly impossible to maintain control in the outer world while letting go on the mental plane. Although this process might not be fun for you now, it’s valuable to learn that you can’t always run the show. Fortunately, your fears begin to subside when others assume more responsibilities and you can relax.
You may feel disoriented today from your deepening emotions, but there isn’t much you can do to avoid them. Rather than tumbling down the rabbit hole without a plan, harness your passions by engaging them, instead of denying them. Thankfully, you have sufficient brainpower to do almost whatever you choose. Just don’t forget to listen to your heart.
Your creativity is on the upswing today, but there are a few roadblocks along the way if you want to make something tangible. Your imagination is activated by Mercury’s presence in your 12th House of Fantasy, but it’s still difficult to mix your artistic nature with the logical approach that’s required to get your ideas across. Relying on rational thinking could be a sensible strategy for another time, but now it’s healthier to forget about productivity and just give yourself permission to dream.
