It doesn’t matter what you have to do today because you’re in the mood to play rather than work. Instead of heading into the office, you would rather be off doing your own thing. Your creative potential is high now but you may feel as if you need to be less restricted in order to express what’s in your heart. Don’t wait for circumstances to change; make the best of what you have in the present moment.

You feel as if you deserve to be acknowledged and even appreciated by those close to you, yet you’re not sure that you want to share your feelings today. Your mixed messages make it challenging for others to connect with you. It’s really your choice; if you take a leap and reveal what’s in your heart, you can create a fertile environment for intimacy. Push back against your resistance by expressing your real intentions, even if it makes you uncomfortable. The likelihood of success makes this less of a gamble than you think.

You have a variety of things that you want to do today, but it’s easy to stack up one too many activities for such a limited amount of time. Your day only grows more complex if you are unable to say no. Although you may be looking forward to fun, your life becomes complicated if you’re so busy that you can’t give anything the attention it deserves. Fortunately, lightening up your calendar should have a positive impact on the rest of your week.

Your usual need for emotional safety might not serve you well today, making this a smart time to take a risk in the outer world. Although breaking out of your shell is probably the best thing you can do, overextending yourself could make you so uncomfortable that you run back to the seclusion of your private world. Instead, take a few methodical steps into your journey; start small and grow into your new strategy so you won’t have to retreat.

Although the Moon’s visit to your lively sign increases the activity level of your day, don’t take on so much that you burn yourself out before you’re ready to call it quits. However, doing too little can leave you feeling frustrated since you have so many things you want to accomplish. A more constructive approach is to concentrate on the most crucial tasks, leaving the other ones for another day.

You may have set your goals so high for today that you might be wise to cancel a few activities so you can recharge your batteries instead of running out of energy. You are uncharacteristically resistant to making a list of exactly what you want to do because you want some flexibility to relax. Nevertheless, it’s still best to give some structure to your day; ultimately setting a schedule will open up more time than making it up as you go along.

Your day may start on a rough note, but thankfully it improves through the afternoon and evening. You might want to take it easy, but hard work now brings bountiful rewards. Instead of ignoring your obligations as a team player today, fulfill your promises before you head off to enjoy yourself. Fortunately, your efforts will pay off many times over, making you glad that you took the more responsible path.

Trusting your intuition is your best strategy today, even if you’re unable to rationally explain how you arrived at your decision. Although you have a healthy balance between your career objectives and your personal values, you still might need to perform tasks you would rather leave behind. But don’t be overly concerned if your obligations don’t align with your long-term goals now because you might not be able to see your true trajectory from your current point of view.

While you know that practical concerns should be considered when making plans for your future, you’re tired of placing limits on yourself. You are tempted to ignore the current circumstances and just do as you please; however, you cannot avoid the reality of the present situation at work. Thankfully, after you finish assessing your current condition, you should be able to move ahead with a much clearer view of the future.

You’re not a stranger to hard work, yet you might talk about everything you want to do instead of actually doing it today. You are motivated by a strong desire to create a life of purpose, but your higher ideals don’t necessarily support the tasks that you need to complete. Procrastination doesn’t work in your favor because you still must meet your obligations. Instead of wasting time plotting your escape, just bite the bullet now and finish the job before doing anything else.

You like the idea of working by yourself, but the Moon’s visit to your 7th House of Partners makes it difficult to avoid others. You might become obsessive about evading someone you don’t want to see today, even if there’s no easy escape. Fortunately, once you are engaged in a social situation, you could quickly forget about your previous resistance. Make it easier on yourself by practicing flexibility earlier in the day instead of waiting for circumstances to force you to change your mind.

You may be unusually self-critical as you compare your performance at work to your original objectives. Or you might be unforgiving with a co-worker who isn’t holding up his or her end of the deal. Although your inclination is to be brutally honest today, this strategy could quickly turn a minor problem into a major event. You don’t need to say everything you feel now unless you can show extra kindness when stating your point of view.
