It might feel as if you're not receiving the support you expect from others as they withhold important facts from you. But you can also see how you've contributed to the current sticky situation. You're concerned that you misinterpreted someone's behavior and hope to set the record straight today. However, it seems as if you are running out of time and must take action immediately or you will lose your chance. Thankfully, interactive Mercury cooperates with your key planet Mars, enabling you to convey your point of view with great clarity. Speak now or forever hold your peace.
A powerplay at work could leave you on the sidelines today. The political dynamics may shift so quickly that you don't even see the changes coming. But you're unwilling to sit quietly when you're itching to be in the game. Fortunately, you can positively impact the situation now by boldly revealing your impressive skills. But this is a tricky moment because you don't want your assertive behavior to stir any antagonism. A diplomatic approach demonstrates your desire to be part of a winning team. Intervene gently and then step back; let the circumstances play out on their own.
It's always better to be honest, yet sometimes you struggle with full disclosure if you think your words will upset others. Thankfully, there is an opportunity to clear the air today as your key planet Mercury receives an energetic boost from warrior Mars. You are ready to face the consequences of your words with an unshakeable sense of self-confidence. Nevertheless, it doesn't pay to be cavalier when sharing your truth. Ernest Hemingway wrote, "There is nothing noble in being superior to your fellow man; true nobility is being superior to your former self."
You may choose to keep your feelings quiet today because you assume people will find your moods too intense. You don't want to alienate others by mixing personal issues with your job, yet you also wish you could be open about your internal process. Ironically, you might discover the tables are turned when someone else comes to you with an emotional story. Be as receptive to another person as you wish them to be for you. Putting the Golden Rule into action sets a wonderful example for others to follow.
Balancing work and play can be rather difficult today, especially if you don't acknowledge your true desires. It's all too easy to become so wrapped up in meeting your obligations that you suppress your need for downtime. Unfortunately, your unexpressed feelings could turn to resentment, making it harder to find enjoyment even after you are off the clock. Be careful about blaming anyone else for your lackadaisical time management. Thankfully, you can still make room for pleasure if you think ahead. Antoine de Saint-Exupéry wrote, "A goal without a plan is just a wish."
Putting your best foot forward is usually a smart strategy, but your overconfident behavior today may actually reveal that you're hiding something. Your self-esteem might be slipping as your inner critic focuses on your lack of perfection. You're like a stage magician that's skillfully practicing misdirection, but people can see through your mask before you even realize you're wearing one. Oddly enough, you're overcompensating when there really isn't a reason. More transparency, less stress.
You may take it upon yourself to save the day by stepping into a developing conflict and playing the part of a mediator. Energetic Mars is visiting your fair-minded sign, strengthening your diplomatic abilities. Meanwhile, Mercury the Messenger plays a supporting role, enabling you to say the right thing at the right time. You can successfully resolve a crisis before it fully emerges as long as you don't make it about you. Inspirational writer William Arthur Ward penned, "When we seek to discover the best in others, we somehow bring out the best."
Downplaying your power is one way to take the bright spotlight off you today. You don't necessarily want everyone to see what you're up to yet because you're not quite ready for an audience critiquing your every move. Nevertheless, your story is important and anyone who listens to you now will be duly impressed. Although it makes good sense to wait until after tomorrow's Scorpio New Moon before presenting your plan for the weeks ahead, don't fret if some of your ideas leak out sooner. Anticipation makes everything a little sweeter in the end.
You are a natural spokesperson for a cause today. Whether you're carrying the torch for your local community, social network or workgroup, people easily accept your words as representative of theirs. In fact, they are happy to have you stand on the soapbox and be the lightning rod for everyone else's reactions. Although you're not immune to public criticism, you have a knack for letting negativity roll off you like water off a duck's back. Miraculously, you can't hear any feedback now, unless it's constructive. Believe in your message and others will too.
You might as well be running the entire show today because you can scan all the variables spread out before you like a chess master sees the chess board. Warrior Mars is doing your bidding now as he marches through your 10th House of Public Status. You're not afraid to enter into verbal combat with anyone who stands in your way. Fortunately, no one is likely to be brave enough to question your authority. Author Shiv Khera wrote, "Your positive action combined with positive thinking results in success."
Your career continues to be one of the main driving forces in your life, but you may grow anxious today when you measure your current position against where you want to be. There seems to be an insurmountable gulf between your future hopes and the reality of the present moment. However, you can't compare your long-term goals with your immediate situation because progress is gradual and isn't always measurable by what's obvious. The only failure is when you say, "I give up."
You can talk a fine game today, but your words must be supported by your actions for them to have a lasting impact. Thankfully, you have the intention and the energy to follow through on what you say. However, you might envision a straight path to success, but the actual road will be fraught with unexpected twists and turns. Don't think for a moment that an obstacle is a sign that you're on the wrong track. Roadblocks are merely opportunities for you to improve your skills. The comeback is always stronger than the setback. Your best competition is yourself.
