Life becomes complicated today because it appears you're expected to deepen your involvement in a cause, project or relationship, which you are secretly hoping to deemphasize. But rather than turning this difference of perspective into an outright conflict, a smarter strategy is to stick to your position and wait until tomorrow for the dynamics to begin to change. Your powerful sense of urgency can be your superpower at times, but now it's your Kryptonite. Don't weaken your stance by prematurely engaging in an impassioned discussion. Benjamin Franklin wrote, "He that can have patience can have what he will."
Paradoxically, turmoil is best avoided by staying in the center of a storm, rather than trying to outrun it. The eye of a hurricane is eerily still because there is always stability when you are motionless, no matter how fast the winds are swirling around you. Thankfully, your saving grace is your ability to remain invulnerable to outside circumstances when you are steadfast in your determination. However, be wary of taking your firm convictions too far. Oscar Wilde wrote, "The truth is rarely pure and never simple."
Your agenda is uncharacteristically etched into stone today, and you're not likely to change it. Your insistence on doing things your way might surprise others, especially if your recent flexibility has led them to believe otherwise. But it's not your job to do the expected; it's to be true to yourself. Demonstrate your productivity by setting your mind on a goal and keeping your eye on the prize until you reach it. Tony Robbins teaches, "Your life is controlled by what you focus on."
There is no question about your motives today. You know what you want and have a plan to get it. However, others may find you so opaque they haven't a clue as to what you're doing or why you're doing it. Although you prefer support from the beginning, it might make more sense now to just go ahead on your own and bring everyone else up to speed in a day or two. Becoming entangled in explanatory conversations will only sap your limited energy away from what needs to be done first. There's time for everything if you proceed with tasks in the proper order.
No matter how much you normally like being the star of the show, your energy is more internally directed today. Your coworkers might express their concern that something is wrong, but this only exacerbates the alienation because it motivates you to pull further away. Fortunately, you can nip this problem in the bud by simply letting others know that you're in an introspective mood now and you'll tell them when you're ready to reengage with the outer world. Poet Charles Bukowski wrote, "It's necessary for me sometimes just to be alone and quiet and doing nothing."
You may lose patience with people who appear to be purposelessly wandering through your world today. Meanwhile, you're on a mission and not interested in being distracted by anyone else, especially someone without an obvious goal. You're at the top of your organizational game now, so make the most of your ability to singularly focus while the planets are conspiring on your behalf. Audrey Hepburn said, "Opportunities don't often come along. So, when they do, you have to grab them."
You may be a bit on the stingy side today, but it is your most sensible strategy now. It serves you well to make sure you don't run short on your limited resources. Naturally, creating a budget is an easier task when there's ample cash flow to cover all expenses. Review your priorities before you make any major decisions about discretionary expenditures. Billionaire Warren Buffett said, "Do not save what is left after spending, but spend what is left after saving."
You might remain more moderate in your reactions today if you could place a surge protector between you and the outer world. The emotional surf grows wilder and cosmic currents are amplified by the evocative Moon's return to your passionate sign. Rather than expending energy by resisting change now, your ability to roll with the incoming waves ultimately strengthens your resolve. Author Kyle Maynard wrote, "By releasing control over circumstances, you gain more control over your life."
You may go out of your way to stifle your emotions today because you're afraid of succumbing to their power. You prefer the world of fiery inspiration and choose to swing into action instead of being overwhelmed by your feelings. But even if you surrender to your subjectivity, you still won't reveal your fears to anyone else now. Keep in mind that your concerns about losing objectivity are only justified if you truly believe the head rules the heart -- but it does not. Novelist Orson Scott Card wrote, "Your trust in rationality makes you irrational."
No one can pull a fast one on you today because your senses are like a finely tuned lie detector. There's no reason to explain how you know something is amiss; you can simply feel it in your belly. Nevertheless, avoid jumping to a conclusion just because it supports your previous point of view. Go through the motions of gathering the facts now. Ask plenty of questions, following your intuition as you go. But when it comes time to make your decision known, don't hesitate. Listen to your gut and speak from your heart.
You are relentless in the pursuit of success today and you don't want anything or anyone to stand in your way. However, if you encounter resistance, you aren't afraid to wield your power as needed. Although it might be tempting to demonstrate your capabilities, you won't likely make as much progress if you respond to an obstacle with brute force. Instead, use your ingenuity to save the day, for it's what you do best. Steve Jobs said, "If you define the problem correctly, you almost have the solution."
You are passionate about a new idea but might not be ready to put your plan into motion yet. Your vision of the future is a primary driving force in your life now. You believe that you can accomplish nearly anything, but you don't want to blow the current opportunity by acting prematurely. Don't waste energy second-guessing your sense of timing. Remember that holding your ground is also a form of action. Tom Petty wrote, "The waiting is the hardest part."
