Deeply rooted fears about being stuck in a situation of your own making may prompt you to overreact today. Although you might defend your behavior to anyone who is shocked or offended by your actions, it's best to stop and listen to what's being said. The reason you let your emotions overrule common sense is obvious, but that doesn't make it right. Instead of immediately going into denial and justifying your every move, think about how you could have done things differently. Benjamin Franklin wrote, "Reckless haste makes poor speed."
Expressing your anger in a healthy manner can be a daunting task for you peace-loving Bulls. Unfortunately, sometimes suppressed emotions are just as destructive as the ones you share. A simple unspoken truth could turn into a psychological storm that becomes the central focus of your inner world today. Instead of waiting for the lightning to strike, preemptively discuss your feelings with someone you trust. Dr. Paul Tournier wrote, "Nothing makes us so lonely as our secrets."
You might take it upon yourself to be the truth-teller in your group of friends or coworkers today. However, your perspective on a current situation might be radically different from everyone else's. Naturally, this conflict can create awkward interpersonal dynamics, temporarily isolating you from your community. If you must speak your truth, do it without assigning blame on others. Ultimately, the effectiveness of your message is based less upon what you say now than how you say it.
The tension at work may be affecting your productivity, prompting you to finally do something about it. Your increased sensitivity to other people's emotional negativity only adds to your dilemma today. You understand critical situations sometimes respond best to radical solutions, and you are at a point where you're willing to try anything to resolve the stress. Author Clarissa Pinkola Estes wrote, "One of the most calming and powerful actions you can do to intervene in a stormy world is to stand up and show your soul."
You're so excited about an upcoming event that you can't help but share your enthusiasm with others. However, you might receive an unfavorable reaction from a coworker who reminds you of unfulfilled obligations that could interfere with your plans. Your reaction to anyone who rains on your parade may be sudden and dismissive today, surprising whoever questions your judgment. However this dynamic plays out, be aware that emotions are stretched to their extreme now. Although you can't prevent someone's negativity, you can change your response. There's always a higher road available to your destination.
The ramifications of private information being made public are impossible to predict, but your best strategy in an unfolding drama is the same, whether it's your secret or someone else's. Denial or avoidance is not an option; there's no way to put the spilled beans back in the can. Instead, be forthcoming and compassionate. Understand that some people might have difficulty assimilating the data and adjusting to the new landscape. If you tell the truth, it becomes a part of your past. If you lie, it becomes a part of your future.
Your world may suddenly seem uncertain today when someone acts in a totally unexpected manner. However, your reaction to people's unpredictable behavior has more impact on your future than whatever they might have done. You have a lesson in acceptance to learn as you acknowledge how much of your life is actually beyond your control. Where you place your attention and how you aim your efforts now determine your destiny.
Keeping up with all the changes at work requires your undivided attention today. Naturally, you don't want to make a fuss about something that will quickly fade into the past, but it's important to voice your opinion over matters which impact your daily routine. Ironically, you like the idea of shaking up your schedule; however, you prefer to do it yourself, rather than at someone else's whim. Musician Billy Cox said, "The two things in life you are in total control over are your attitude and your effort."
You're no stranger to taking risks, especially when it involves speaking your truth. Although you may be facing a number of time-sensitive tasks today, you're not too busy to share your latest scheme for turning serious commitments into carefree play. But it might seem obvious to others that you're just trying to avoid the inevitability of the hard work in front of you. However noble your intentions are now, your reputation depends on your current actions. Winston Churchill said, "The price of greatness is responsibility."
You are on a secret mission and don't want anything to prevent you from achieving success. You may believe your self-worth is at stake and you're eager to demonstrate your ability to stick with a course of action until you reach your goal. Unfortunately, you can't necessarily control your feelings today, even if you keep them to yourself. Your inner world is exploding with unexpressed emotions, unconventional ideas and unproven routes to your destination to explore. Carving out some time to sink into your imagination allows you to return to the work at hand with a fresh outlook. Remember, a lack of focus leads to a lack of progress.
You're not interested in being tied to anyone else's schedule today, and you're willing to try nearly anything to break free of previous commitments. However, your intention is not motivated by laziness; to the contrary, you know you can be much more productive when you're in complete control of your environment. The notion of starting and stopping your creative flow in order to interact with other people is alien to you now. Mystic poet William Blake wrote, "The hours of folly are measured by the clock; but of wisdom, no clock can measure."
You could become so enamored with a piece of art or something of beauty that you'll take extraordinary measures to call it your own. Whether you can't live without tickets to your favorite performer or the latest technology to hit the market, you must act now to satisfy your craving. Unfortunately, you may experience buyer's remorse tomorrow when you realize how much you spent on something you don't really need or can't necessarily afford. Greek philosopher Epictetus wrote, "Wealth consists not in having great possessions, but in having few wants."
