It may require an extra effort to roll out of bed today as you wonder where your get-up-and-go went. You might even feel unmotivated while the Moon is meandering through the last hours of contemplative Cancer. Thankfully, your enthusiasm returns and your day shifts into high gear when the Moon enters expressive Leo. Although your creative muse pops back in for a visit, you still need to overcome some internal resistance before you can transform your inspiration into productivity. Bruce Lee said, "The intangible represents the real power of the universe. It is the seed of the tangible."
You might be convinced there is a method to your madness while others try to understand your behavior. A spiritual Venus-Neptune alignment fills your head with beautiful fantasies and romantic illusions. Fortunately, you can discern the difference between fact and fancy now, so you won't waste time pursuing an impossible dream. Nevertheless, you struggle with the thought that you may need to suppress your feelings so they don't interfere with more practical concerns. Stephen Covey wrote, "Most of us spend too much time on what is urgent and not enough time on what is important."
You wish that you could put on a happy face and share only your most positive thoughts today. Luckily, things may actually be looking up, blessing you with plenty of good news to talk about. In fact, you're still able to put an uplifting slant on your stories, even if you are facing some challenges now. However, you can't get sunshine without shadows -- and there are some darker issues that still need to be addressed. Keep in mind that you don't need to disclose every buried feeling in one clean sweep. Unraveling the mysteries of your heart takes time.
Although you want to take more time off today to spend in contemplation, responsibilities are waiting for your return. You may be clinging to a recent emotional interaction, unwilling to let it go just yet. Knowing that your behavior reveals more than you intend, you might resign yourself to fulfilling your obligations and meeting everyone's expectations at work. Thankfully, you become a little less attached to your feelings once the reflective Moon leaves your sign for the bright sunlit fields of Leo. Forget it enough to get over it, remember it enough so it doesn't happen again.
It's as if someone has turned on the lights in your playroom, set out all your favorite toys and invited a few of your best friends over for fun and games. You are thrilled at the prospect of reconnecting with your inner child, but there are still grown-up commitments that cannot be ignored. You might try to make a case for an extended recess today, claiming that it inspires your creativity and boosts your productivity. But you can only remain in denial of the looming deadlines for so long. Weaving work and play together is the secret to your success.
You could become more and more of a recluse as the day unfolds. You might even try to override your current need for solitude by jumpstarting your social batteries and engaging in a group process at work. Nevertheless, your interest quickly wanes as you scan each situation for possible escape routes. Although you can't change your desires today, you can modify how you respond to them. Instead of forcibly suppressing your discomfort, dance with your feelings in full view of others. Their power will diminish as you accept your emotions as an integral part of your greater whole.
Today would be nearly perfect if only you were an artist on retreat. The fountain of creativity is overflowing, and your mind is full of ripe ideas that are waiting for manifestation. You could easily keep busy all day working on your masterpiece or simply sketching ideas to be saved for the future. Unfortunately, reality may be calling you in other directions now as previous commitments come due. But don't shut off the flow of ingenuity; allow your imagination to add sparkle to your day and magic to your life.
You can see the light through the darkness and the possibility of prosperity in times of scarcity. But your unrelenting hope is not just an escape from reality; it's a blueprint for your future. You are fully aware of the practical pressures weighing on you individually and humanity collectively. Rather than relying on denial as a strategy for survival, you can create two reality constructs -- one based on the real and the other based on the ideal -- and hold them both simultaneously. J.K. Rowling wrote, "It is our choices that show what we truly are, far more than our abilities."
Your fantasies can lift you out of the mundane world to remind you of your true calling in life. Magically, you're able to set aside logistical restraints long enough to explore your future potential without worrying about what is possible and what is not. However, this exercise is not just idle fantasizing; it actually reveals the psychological archetypes upon which you can draw to create a more self-actualized version of yourself. Author Robert Collier wrote, "The source and center of all man's creative power is his power of making images, or the power of imagination."
It's not easy for you to let go of past karma. You are more aware than most people of the relationship between cause and effect in your life. Additionally, combining your observations of the past with your knowledge of how things work in the present enables you to make masterful calculations to achieve desired results in the future. However, your strict adherence to the three-dimensional world can be limiting now. The cosmos is inviting you to step beyond the apparent and into a magical realm where anything can happen. Deepak Chopra wrote, "Our real reality is beyond the five senses."
An overly dramatic friend or coworker might make a scene that negatively impacts your day. You may be quite annoyed if someone's antics about a trivial matter draws everyone's attention away from something much more important. Meanwhile, you were ready to share your new strategy for success with your peers. However, you don't want to add to the current distraction with your hyperbolic words and unrealized dreams. Instead, let time work its healing magic. Actions prove who you are; words just prove who you want to be.
A fresh wave of creativity washes through your life today, bringing in streams of new ideas that are waiting to be turned into something tangible. Although your visions are not limited by your current experiences, you can still separate those which have potential from those that do not. There's nothing to be gained by logically analyzing each and every thought. Instead, remember that your intuition usually leads you in the right direction. Rumi wrote, "That which is false troubles the heart, but truth brings joyous tranquility."
