Your superhuman efforts to avoid anything that even remotely smacks of scandal or intrigue pay off now. Staying out of trouble hasn't been easy, and you were tempted more than once to indulge in a delightful buffet of forbidden fruit. It's satisfying to know that you are remaining true to your sign's famous ability to distance yourself from the battles you know you can't win. Sometimes, you must walk away from what you want to get what you deserve.
Your commitment to your goals is strong, and you're positive that nothing can stop you. However, messenger Mercury is standing still at the moment and therefore is temporarily uncooperative; while you remain undefeated, you may need to sit tight until the cosmic logjam loosens up. In the meantime, keep picturing things as you want them to be, not as they are. Wishing might not make your dreams come true, but it most definitely inspires you to strive for success. Actress Brande Roderick said, "Envisioning the end is enough to put the means in motion."
Realizing that most of the key members of your fan base are still cheering you on is a true blessing. In fact, they're all exactly where you left them three weeks ago; you simply put yourself on a discretionary hold. This break in the action was cosmically inspired by your ruling planet, Mercury. The winged messenger apparently called a time out so you could cull the herd. Now that you know who to keep around and who to dismiss from your crew, announce your triumphant return to the spotlight. All stars occasionally go on hiatus only to shine brighter on their reentry into the atmosphere.
Go easy on yourself if you're unsure how to handle a family member's attitude or a close friend's actions now. Although you know this person well, they've been acting distant lately. You have your hunches why, but you're not a mind reader. They may be going through a tough time, and for their own reasons are reluctant to talk about it. If anyone understands the power, pleasure, and pain of emotions, it's you. The best way to help someone is to simply be there for them without adding any pressure. Healing happens faster when you're not alone.
Repetition in reality can leave you wondering if the universe is trying to teach you a lesson. Over the past few weeks, you may have experienced several encounters with people that are eerily similar. You might conclude the cosmos is directing your attention to this type of person to make a point, but you can't decipher the clues today. Honestly, it's not always possible to catch on right away. The fact that you're noticing a pattern means you're off to a good start. Give yourself time to figure it all out. Life's mysteries are rarely solved overnight.
After weeks of mulling things over, you're pretty sure you know what you need to do regarding a problematic relationship. However, you may not have a concrete plan in place to get the show on the road. Thankfully, you don't have to carry this burden alone. Call a certain someone you've rushed in to rescue many times, regardless of the situation or time of day. Bouncing your thoughts off a friend who loves you unconditionally solidifies your strategy. Just keep in mind that while the right thing to do is rarely the easy thing to do, the results are far more satisfying.
You take pride in your dedication to others and won't tolerate anyone who challenges your loyalty. However, your sense of honor goes beyond relationships and also covers your commitment to a duty, task, or responsibility you agreed to fulfill. Over the past three weeks, Mercury's retrograde motion made steady progress difficult, but you're not a quitter. Thankfully, your efforts are finally beginning to bear fruit. Hold your head high when you pass by coworkers or higher-ups who once questioned you and now admire you. Michelle Obama said, "The one way to get me to work my hardest was to doubt me."
Heading back to the drawing board is the quickest way to improve your attitude today. Considering how elusive inspiration has been lately, it feels good to get back in the groove. You may have been silently anguishing over the fear that your talent was lost. Although you might irrationally believe you will never produce anything worthy ever again, your gifts are fully present. The waiting is over; your dormant talents are reawakening now that cerebral Mercury is moving direct. Take a deep breath and gradually restart your creative engine.
A family meeting is in order, and you're more than willing to make it happen. This stressful dynamic of tiptoeing around each other has become extremely tiresome, especially since you know the issue can be peacefully resolved with just a few moments of honest conversation. You allowed others to ignore the elephant in the room in the hope that they might work it out alone. However, it seems that a reconciliation is not going to occur without your intervention and insistence. Remind all parties concerned that living together means making compromises, and compromise requires communication. Start talking and others will join in.
Getting from Point A to Point B could be tricky now, so it's wise to create a backup plan for travel to important destinations. Keep those alternative options open for a few days just in case you encounter a detour. Mercury turns direct in your 3rd House of Short Trips today, which eventually lessens the stress and confusion. However, changing direction requires Mercury to temporarily stop in its tracks, so you may need to do the same. Your understanding and compassion are necessary, especially if someone close to you is the one who is stalled. Everyone deserves the benefit of the doubt.
The spiritual side of your ordinarily ultra-cerebral nature rears its head. You have the urge to shed, molt, and rid yourself of any material things that are distracting you from what really matters to your soul's purpose. Downsizing is a noble and valid approach to uncovering your true belief system; if you need to cut back on unnecessary expenses and expenditures, go for it. Just don't toss the baby out with the bathwater. Taking a vow of poverty isn't the only way to get your priorities in order. Deciding what you truly value will show you who you really are.
Your imagination is fertile territory, and you never know where you might travel when you sleep. If you are not already using a dream journal, get with the program. You can even improvise by using an old notebook, the back of a calendar page, or a brown paper bag. Honestly, the medium doesn't matter at all. The point is to make it easy to record the details of your night-time wanderings while they're still fresh. Your dreams are often prophetic, but with insightful Mercury standing still in your 1st House of Self today, it's vital that you pay attention to messages from your subconscious. Inspiration comes from within.
