Ignoring your domestic duties isn't an option today. Unfortunately, this cosmic change of emphasis may seem to put a hamper on your recent professional progress. In reality, it is all part of the natural cycle. When you pivot and attend to your nest for a moment, you ensure that when it is time to get back to the grind, you have your basic needs met and can keep up the momentum in a truly sustainable way. William Shakespeare wrote, "To climb steep hills requires a slow pace at first."
Just when you get the courage to speak up, something shutters you into remaining quiet. It is not always easy to find the right words, especially when you are addressing a topic close to your heart. Turn the careful ear you always lend others toward yourself today, and spend time listening to yourself before you make another attempt to tell your story. Don't sweat it if you get nervous. You may find that the momentary fear helps you establish more clarity, so that when you do deliver your message, it lands correctly. Talk less, say more.
Your financial tides ebb and flow. The second you get ready to spend your money on a worthy endeavor, something stops you from handing over the cash. You may uncover a new facet of a debt you owe now or, perhaps, someone is literally blocking your way forward. These warning signs are asking you to take renewed stock of your resources and focus on concentrating your energies. If Socrates said, "Know thyself," today's mantra is "Know thy worth." Don't sell yourself short.
Your body is your first temple and taking care of it as well as you take care of others is a prized skill. An intensified self-care program is the order of the day, even if others demand your attention. Treat yourself to something special, perhaps a new outfit or a delicious meal at a favorite restaurant -- anything that lights you up and helps you turn your comfort zone into a luxury palace. You deserve the best of everything.
Getting your hands dirty is inevitable today. The cosmic atmosphere has turned to all work and no play. Instead of fighting your sense of responsibility, go ahead and take care of all the little things that you need to have in place before you return to the spotlight. You wouldn't want anyone to find the cobwebs in the corners once those lights shine brighter. Get down to business so that when the next big wave hits, you can ride the action with confidence.
Creating something new is serious -- and is seriously rewarding work if your heart is invested in your latest project. Thankfully, your friends understand when you must bury your head in tasks, for as much as they want to spend time with you, they also know how important your work is to you. If you feel tension between your social commitments and your craft, the celestial weather supports you in staying on task now. There will be better days to mix and mingle with the crowd. Focus on your creativity. Make something that will stand the test of time.
You would love to be in two places at once today, yet it is physically impossible. Something from home insistently calls your attention mere seconds after you focus on your career ambitions. In fact, the time spent on your professional efforts may be the very reason that issues seem to be cropping up in your domestic sphere. Thankfully, you are a master at the balancing act. Use your graceful agility to walk the tightrope. The stretch is prepping you for greater success.
Let your mind wander, and make sure to write down the peaks and valleys of your journey. You are exploring new mental territories, and they demand being recorded and shared. Take heart if you experience writer's block. Slow down and pace yourself through your cerebral landscape. The words may not come quickly, but they will be worth their weight in gold when they finally arrive. You are crafting a powerful message that the entire world needs to hear.
You would move in all directions at once today if you could. Material reality has limitations though, and you are being called to choose one direction, and not another. Make sure there is gas in your tank and your vehicle functions well enough to complete its journey. Your efforts will be wasted if you don't have the resources to reach your destination. Roman philosopher Seneca wrote, "Luck is a matter of preparation meeting opportunity."
Someone close to you needs your full support today. Simultaneously, circumstances call attention to your tendency to be self-critical. If you realize that a friend is a part of you and of your life, and vice versa, you can strike a balance. Try listening before you take charge of the situation. Lao Tzu suggests there is strength in softness when he said, "Water is the softest thing, yet it can penetrate mountains and the earth." Adopt a gentle approach and see how deep you can go.
Embarking enthusiastically on creative projects generates a wave of busywork in its wake. Thankfully, the social vibe is subdued today so you can set about taking care of these tasks without too much interruption. Unfortunately, you may be the cause of your own distractions or discouragement. Banish those voices of doubt and fear and keep on track. You have the wind in your professional sail. You are the secret ingredient in turning the ordinary into the extraordinary.
You catalyze your own fun, whether anyone joins you or you fly solo. If all your friends are busy or cancel plans with you at the last minute, you won't have any trouble entertaining yourself today. Nurture your imagination and allow your creativity to flourish without any thought of marketability. You are incubating a new idea that may not be ready to be shared with the world quite yet. Carl Jung wrote, "Your vision will become clear only when you look into your heart. Who looks outside, dreams. Who looks inside, awakens."
