If all work and no play really makes Johnny a dull boy, then you are desperately eager for change now. Your key planet Mars is spending its final day in industrious Virgo, motivating you to finish as many incomplete chores as you can. But you want more out of life than the satisfaction of a few more jobs well done; your thirst for knowledge about larger issues is growing and you won't be happy until you know what makes the universe tick. Albert Einstein quipped, "I have no special talent. I am only passionately curious."
You are an intensity magnet today, attracting a variety of emotional melodramas. Although psychological thrillers make fascinating stories, you must be careful not to get so entranced by one that you take it on as your own. Fortunately, you can be a supportive ally while still maintaining your autonomy by practicing self-awareness and creating safe boundaries. Once you slip over the line, it becomes impossible to remain objective and you lose your ability to help a friend sort out the truth. Aesop wrote, "A fair-minded man tries to see both sides of an argument."
You may surprise others today with your uncharacteristic ability to finish every little project you start. You are highly motivated to waste less time and work with greater intention while the Moon sheds her light in your 6th House of Habits. You know that a pattern of consistency ends up being more effective than a short burst of supercharged energy. In the long run, you want your efforts to be productive, whether anyone notices what you're doing or not. President Abraham Lincoln said, "Don't worry when you are not recognized, but strive to be worthy of recognition."
It's rejuvenating to nurture your soul while you're in your element and share your experience with someone special today. A watery Scorpio Moon provides the anchor for your swirling passions, offering you emotional stability in the midst of changing interpersonal dynamics. Sometimes you Crustaceans cautiously cling to the past while fearing the future, but now you are ready to explore the possibilities with a trusted companion. Oprah Winfrey said, "When you live with an open heart, unexpected, joyful things happen."
You are perfectly happy with the idea of being left to your own devices today. Although you're likely to accept a social invitation, you probably won't go out of your way to join in a group activity. Fortunately, you're not lonely when you're by yourself because your mind is preoccupied with numerous projects that await your attention. Create your own path to fun, even if you're on a solo mission. Playwright Diane Grant wrote, "It's better to walk alone than with a crowd going in the wrong direction."
You are quietly proud of your recent accomplishments over the past couple of months, but you also know this is no time to rest on your laurels. Irrepressible Mars is kicking it for one more day in your perfectionist sign, giving you an opportunity to make one more concerted push in your drive to mold your vision into reality. There will still be plenty to do in the upcoming weeks, but your initial efforts can quickly take on a more solid form. Pastor Louie Giglio wrote, "You don't have to know everything about the mountain in front of you to take the next step."
It's nearly time to come out of the shadows and step into the light of day. If you have been busy working behind the scenes, your unseen contribution to a cause is about to be celebrated. But you don't need the public recognition because of an egoistic desire for fame and fortune. Instead, it's about how acceptance by your peers elevates your confidence, making you feel as if you're an equal player on the team. Fortunately, your overall productivity increases in relationship to your sense of self-worth. Marilyn Monroe said, "Everyone's a star and deserves the right to twinkle."
You're in no mood to be messed with while the evocative Moon reflects the wide spectrum of your emotional experience. You believe you're the master of your own destiny and you're taken by surprise if someone throws you off balance today. You're unhappy with the excessive amount of energy it takes to put yourself back on track and would prefer to avoid the experience in its entirety. However, there is a lesson available if you can put your pride aside long enough to learn it. Author Doreen Virtue wrote, "Boundaries are a part of self-care. They are healthy, normal, and necessary."
You are masterful at putting up invisible walls today, especially if you are being pestered by someone wanting to know how you feel. Rather than boldly defending your sovereignty and your right to experience your own emotions, you may choose to just go silent. Unfortunately, people often expect you to be a happy-go-lucky extrovert and they grow insecure when you withdraw. Nevertheless, it's not your job to wear a smile just to make others comfortable.
You want to be a member of the pack today, but you're very picky about the skills of the other participants. You aren't willing to compromise your high expectations for the sake of peace and harmony. Nevertheless, your swift judgment of others can be the source of an irresolvable struggle now, leaving you feeling isolated and working on your own. Connection is the cure to your sense of alienation. You don't need to lower your standards if you can change your frame of reference.
Strange days are upon you. You long to be in a leadership position within your community, but you don't want anyone to know your true intentions. Naturally, this creates an obvious dilemma because it's nearly impossible to be the center of authority while maintaining anonymity. Nevertheless, you are undeterred and willing to try to achieve your unrealistic dream. Get your head out of the clouds; set your feet back on the ground before reassessing your current position and setting new goals.
You could easily talk yourself into believing a philosophical idea or a spiritual teaching so fervently that you exclude all other ideas today. Unfortunately, the moment you do this, you lose your connection with truth because reality is multivalent. There are many ways to describe an experience, depending on your point of view. Instead of trying to find fault with someone's else's idea now, seek points of common interest. Psychologist Abraham Maslow wrote, "You will either step forward into growth, or you will step backward into safety."
