Disinterest morphs into curiosity and, eventually, transforms into decisive action today. You might do your best to avoid involvement on a project at work because you don't want to take sides in a developing disagreement over logistics. Nevertheless, you can't help but deepen your participation, even if you remain ambivalent about the outcome. When asked, share your opinion as objectively as you can. Quantum physicist Niels Bohr said, "Never express yourself more clearly than you are able to think."
It's tempting to resist change when everything in your life is working. At first, the lack of stress discourages you from taking any risks. Nevertheless, your feelings begin to shift as relationships put unexpected pressure on you. Doing the right thing isn't always the easiest response in the moment, but it's the healthiest in the long run. Author Caroline Myss wrote, "Always go with the choice that scares you the most, because that's the one that is going to help you grow."
Although your calendar is already set in stone today, you're still eager to gamble with your destiny. It's as if you know when the space-time fabric is susceptible to weird fluctuations now, and you jump in with your agenda at exactly the right moment. However, you could overstate your case or underestimate someone else's resolve. Don't tie yourself to any one strategy yet. Magic is more likely to occur when you can build on a wave already in motion rather than creating one from scratch.
You may reach your emotional limit today, especially if you are spending a lot of time with your friends. You are quite sensitive to contradictory information yet you're committed to sorting out useful facts from trivial data. Although you still want the benefit of good advice from those you trust, you also need to integrate current experiences before you open yourself up to feedback that makes you question recent choices. Honor your internal clock and only move forward at a speed that feels right to you.
Frustration builds if you try to force your solution to a work-related problem onto others. It's especially challenging if you see what's obvious today, while your coworkers are only operating with a limited perspective. Unfortunately, the more you push, the more they close down. Taking the higher road now involves practicing patience and compassion. Meanwhile, remember the words of the Dalai Lama: "Do not let the behavior of others destroy your inner peace."
Handle important business as early in the day as possible while the energetic flow is still working in your favor. You can still be productive later on, but dealing with even the most minor matters might feel like you're swimming upstream. Thankfully, the resistance you encounter won't likely be enough to stop you in your tracks now, but it certainly could slow you down. Author Norman Vincent Peale wrote, "Stand up to your obstacles and do something about them. You will find that they haven't half the strength you think they have."
You may be relishing your current anonymity because you don't want to explain your recent decisions to others. Although you might be convinced to share your plans at the right time, you're hesitant to defend your position on a contentious matter today. Nevertheless, you still could be drawn into a conversation that leads to more personal disclosure than you intended, which, in turn, can heat up an argument. Walk away before things turn ugly. Wayne Dyer wrote, "Conflict cannot survive without your participation."
Your reputation often precedes you as someone who is willing to delve into a discussion about sensitive subjects. However, you hold the power to choose whether or not to proceed into dangerous territory. If you decide that a topic is off-limits, no one is clever enough to bait you into a conversation today. On the other hand, if you think something needs to be brought out into the open, you won't be easily stopped. Just examine your motives before flashing a red light or green light. An old adage claims, "A tongue has no bones but it is strong enough to break a heart; so be careful with your words."
You don't mind a bit of verbal fireworks today as long as there is a purpose to the exchange. A meaningful dialogue may be postponed for a variety of reasons and it feels good to get your thoughts out in the open when it finally happens. Keep in mind that any discussion now is likely the first in a series of interactions over the next several days. It's not productive to assume you will reach a viable resolution right away. Benjamin Franklin wrote, "Take time for all things; great haste makes great waste."
Building stability in relationships requires your sincere commitment. However, you expect the same loyalty from everyone else. You might grow annoyed when you realize you're going through the motions by yourself today. Unfortunately, you can't accuse someone of playing by different rules because that only pushes them further away. Instead, claim your authority and interact honestly without pointing blame. Giving others a little distance at the right time allows them to see things from your perspective. Respect cultivates trust.
You're concerned that your feelings are getting in the way of your interactions with others today. It might even seem like you're stuck in an emotional tidepool with no way out to sea. Fortunately, the tides are always in flux and your fears will begin to dissipate once the fresh energy flows into your life. A short conversation with the right person could be enough to start the ball rolling. Although it won't take much to initiate movement, your behavior is instrumental. Author Michael Bassey Johnson wrote, "Change does not surface when you are not ready to be the catalyst. Your reaction matters, not your inaction."
Your uncharacteristic stubbornness may help you convince others that you're not to be trifled with today. However, your tenacity only takes you so far. It's the right strategy to bring people into your world, but you could be so headstrong now that you lose your audience as quickly as you gained it. Fortunately, you Fish are no strangers to swimming with the flow. Lao Tzu wrote, "What is malleable is always superior to that which is immovable. This is the principle of controlling things by going along with them, of mastery through adaptation."
