You're doing your best to stay focused on the task at hand, but you're likely feeling tired -- and it's no wonder. You've been lugging around a ton of responsibilities for what seems like forever. Chugging coffee won't help today. What you really need is to steal away for a rejuvenating siesta. If your schedule won't allow for this luxury, go straight to your nest after work and treat your mind and body to a quiet evening at home. Sometimes the only way to recharge your batteries is to disconnect.
Quieting the body calms the mind. If you are thinking about learning to meditate or deepening an existing spiritual routine, consider giving it just one more shot, this time within a circle of kindred spirits. Remember how it feels when you're at a concert and the whole audience claps, dances, or sings along with the band. The power of those shared emotions can put you in a trance, and it's very much the same with a group practice. At the very least, you might glean some tips by picking the brains of well-seasoned attendees. Actor Hugh Jackman said, "Meditation sharpens everything. It keeps life fresh."
The more you love what you do, the more of yourself you are willing to invest in it. Any vague sense of dissatisfaction you're experiencing now with regard to career matters really shouldn't be ignored. You don't have to make any sudden moves today; but by all means, reexamine how you really want to spend your time, and come up with a sustainable plan. The difference between dreaming of a profession and doing it is discipline and hard work. Jan Welter, the NFL's first female coach, said, "If you want to be successful in this world, you have to follow your passion, not a paycheck."
You may catch yourself sighing an awful lot today, which is perfectly understandable. Thoughtful Mercury backs up and bumps into wistful Neptune in your 9th House of Far-Off Places, stirring up only the fondest of memories, possibly from school days. Lest you become overly sentimental now, however, reflect on all your accomplishments that were only dreams back then. Reminiscing can be a sweet pastime, and reaching out to long-lost friends is a terrific idea. But being grateful about where you are in the present moment is the real trick to success.
Recent events appear to have a domino effect, giving you the opportunity to realize the power of your strength. Rally your energy once again to prove your commitment today, especially if circumstances arise that cause you to doubt yourself. Although the power of positive thinking works in your favor, observable results create an immediate impact. Let your current actions clear the path that eventually carries you to your goals. Have the courage to take the first step and everything else will fall into place.
A chance meeting could bring you face to face with someone you thought you permanently banished from your world a long time ago. You've come a very long way since your last encounter, but seeing them again makes it feel just like yesterday. You have a similar decision in front of you now, and while it may not be any easier this time, your first priority needs to be putting your own best interests first. Test the waters before going in too deep. Poet Erin Von Vuren said, "Be strong enough to say goodbye, and brave enough to never allow the same storm to destroy you twice."
Be mindful to straighten out any mixed signals a coworker might be sending your way today. Being uncertain about anyone else's end game could soon interfere with your job performance. The only way to clear things up is to sit down directly across from this individual and ask what's going on. Listen to their words, but pay careful attention to their body language. Your gut tells you everything you need to know, and you will be able to move forward, one way or the other. Film critic Roger Ebert said, "Your intellect may be confused, but your emotions will never lie to you."
An opportunity to pursue a past interest may resurface out of the blue today. You might have had to shift directions because more demanding responsibilities prevented you from continuing on that path. Thankfully, there's no need to deny yourself any longer if you're still as enthralled. Think of it as a favorite dessert and savor every bite. Once you eat all your greens, you can indulge in a little sugar. Rediscovering your bliss is good for your soul.
Worrying about family squabbles doesn't make them any easier to deal with today. Rather than wringing your hands in private, you typically handle things in a no-nonsense manner. If your spontaneous approach means bringing up touchy subjects, so much the better. This tactic may not win you any popularity contests, but if it helps the truth to emerge, you're willing to take one for the team. Your mission now is to strive toward the type of transparency that allows you all to sleep better tonight, but you can only do so much alone. Shine your light and move on.
Hearing someone say something before they actually say it can be unsettling at first. Rest assured, though, it's not your imagination playing tricks. You're an extremely logical kind of creature and mind-reading isn't something you usually take very seriously. Nevertheless, the universe is temporarily bestowing this extrasensory gift upon you now, and regardless of your skepticism, there's a reason it's happening. Pay attention to anything unsaid that you perfectly understand. Author Sonia Choquette said, "Following your intuition is a tremendous act of conscious intelligence."
Keeping your financial wits about you now does you a world of good in the long run. This fiscal awareness might mean ignoring the urge to buy the latest electronic gadget or the coolest new shoes. However, you will have the cash you need when you need it most if you exercise your willpower and preserve your credit today. Play with the toys you already own and enjoy the priceless company of like-minded others. You are rich in more ways than you can count.
You may be sleeping more than usual lately and, hopefully, enjoying some wonderful dreams. However, you might not remember them in their entirety when you wake up, but you could experience vivid flashbacks today. Some say that dreams are simply a technique the subconscious uses to help the brain assimilate what's already happened. Others insist they're the voice of your intuition, telling you what's next to come. Fortunately, if anyone can unravel complex symbolism, it's you. Jot down any especially dramatic emotions or images and start connecting the dots. Your heart knows what your head forgets.
