Emotional reactions and perfectionism are interfering with what you need to get done. The truth is your impatient nature is not helping the situation. Fortunately, in the latter part of the day, there is a change in the cosmic atmosphere with a greater emphasis placed on interpersonal relationships than your to-do list. Until the energy shifts, try to see the usefulness in the counterintuitive state of non-rushing and paying attention to details. Remember, asking for support is a mark of inner strength, not weakness.
You are still reevaluating how to balance your obligations to others with your personal ambitions and aspirations. The planets are up to mischief today, triggering uncertainty and prompting you to check in with yourself to reestablish your center. Consider if you are willing to be more flexible in how you navigate your ever-shifting schedule. Deviations in your plans are on the horizon, be it meetings that are canceled, a 24-hour bug that derails your day, or new opportunities you need to act on immediately. You will fair far better riding the waves of change than swimming against the tide.
Your natural tendency to lead with your intellectual dexterity and skim the surface of things finds depth and passion from mysterious places in the coming days. Witty Mercury dances back into Scorpio and your 6th House of Service, inspiring you to create a lengthy to-do list or reassess your recent accomplishments. This cosmic shift provides you with new ideas for self-care and discipline. Author William S. Burroughs wrote, "Your mind will answer most questions if you learn to relax and wait for the answer."
Although you might be feeling like Durga, the multi-armed Hindu mother goddess, it's still wise to find some time to turn inward. Maintaining the belief that you can do it all sounds admirable, but don't burn yourself out in the process. Be sure to give voice to your emotions as you juggle life today, even if only in your journal. You are often happiest caring for others but nurturing yourself is essential now. Enjoy a healthy meal or a cup of herbal tea and allow your nerves to unwind. In the midst of the chaos, don't forget to close your eyes and breathe.
Lately, your inner calling to stretch yourself creatively is tugging at your heart. Although you may be prone to wordiness, cultivate your joy for the playfulness of language and all forms of self-expression. As you look for new ways to communicate the same thing, remember, big ideas can be delivered with simplicity. Brevity only adds to the clarity of your message. Greek philosopher Pythagoras wrote, "Do not say a little in many words, but a great deal in a few."
You may feel pulled to spend time with extended family now that the holiday season is in full swing. Reconfirm all details as you fill in your schedule; trickster Mercury is retrograde and loves to upend the best-laid plans. You are blessed with the opportunity to catch any mistakes you might nearly make while Mercury slips back into your 3rd House of Communication. The last thing you want is to inadvertently leave your mother-in-law off your gift shopping list or forget to pick up flowers for the holiday party. Make a list and check it twice for a stress-free season.
You are likely to be unusually emotional today, although your feelings may not be entirely your own. Unpacking which emotions are yours and which ones belong to others can be tricky. Try meditating or listening to music to shift your perspective and shake off any lingering negativity. Do something special just for you while the reflective Moon dances with vulnerable Venus in your sign. Paradoxically, sometimes taking care of yourself is the selfless thing to do.
Secrets you keep and things that have been kept from you may get unearthed today. Talkative Mercury steps back into your sign of deep-and-not-so-subtle Scorpio; that which has gone unsaid finally finds a voice. The sticking point is to stay centered once what is hidden is brought to light. Work to not get caught in reaction. Asking the question: "What would [insert your chosen spiritual teacher here] do?" will help you temper your emotional response. When in doubt, err on the side of love.
You are rarely at a loss for words but today you might find yourself stumped. Your tendency to not take life too seriously is encouraged by the Sun's presence in your 1st House of Self. However, even with your sunny optimism, it can be hard to know what to think or say when you're put on the spot. Thankfully, your head starts to clear and your thoughts deepen once gregarious Mercury backs out of your sign. Take a little trip inside and get in touch with your subconscious as Mercury sojourns through your 12th House of All Things Hidden. Your imagination holds the key to your future.
Start thinking about things that you don't normally think are possible. Although your brainstorms might produce fertile rain, it's not yet time to act on your dreams. However, begin to unpack that crazy, outrageous idea your practical self hasn't dared to entertain; it may be more doable than you have let yourself believe. Albert Einstein said, "If at first the idea is not absurd, then there is no hope for it."
Your unconventional, black-sheep self can go with the flow without too much fuss, as long as you are able to deviate from the herd whenever you choose. If you are feeling lackluster about your professional progress now, get ready for a change. You may soon fall in love with your work all over again. This newfound passion could come in the form of a challenging project, a new colleague, or something altogether out of the blue. At a minimum, your chosen career will start to feel more valuable as you connect with what you get out of it other than just a paycheck.
Your vulnerability is heightened today, increasing your ability to be a psychic sponge. While it is lovely to take other people's emotions into consideration, doing so should not come at the expense of failing to express your own. Maintaining clear and firm boundaries, when held from a place of service, compassion, and empathy does not mean you stand in judgment or avoidance of others. Try on this new perspective for the day and see how it suits you. Don't let people pull you into their storm. Pull them into your peace.
