You know what you want now, and you have what it takes to succeed. You've been patient -- never an easy task for you -- but the wait is over. Mercury's three-week retrograde tossed a few roadblocks in your professional path. Let go of any residual discouragement and get the show on the road. Dust off your resume or business plan and reconnect with your social network. Editor Suzanne Braun Levine said, "Until you take charge of your own life, things don't happen."
Your thoughts on an important matter may be in conflict with the passionate opinions of a dear one. Although you're willing to agree to disagree and move on now, they are not. At this point, if you can't divert their attention, your only option is to put some distance between you. Remember, you're every bit as entitled to your beliefs as anyone else. Confrontation isn't necessarily the answer today. Standing your ground comes naturally, but sometimes walking away proves your strength. Psychologist Carl Jung said, "The shoe that fits one person pinches another. There is no recipe for living that suits all cases."
Financial matters demand your undivided attention now. Whether it's a loan, a mortgage, or just your checking account, tend to it right away. The sooner those numbers are balanced, the easier you can sleep. This goes double if unfinished business stacked up while Mercury was lost in its retrograde dance. Invest your time into creating a budget that's practical and sustainable without making you feel deprived. You may need to consolidate a few things, but your clever ingenuity can skillfully navigate this bumpy terrain. Author Suze Orman said, "If you expect your money to take care of you, you must take care of your money."
You're not in the mood to be directed, instructed, or handled today. The emotional Moon is marching through Capricorn and your 7th House of Relationships, prompting you to make your rules known to others immediately, in no uncertain terms. You're already quite skilled in the art of self-sufficiency, so doing things your way, regardless of what anyone thinks, isn't much of a challenge. Try to allow everyone else the same luxury, even if they're obviously still learning the ropes. People respect those who respect themselves.
The urge to put yourself on a productive schedule is stronger than ever now, impacting all areas of your life. Work and health matters are your priority, however, so coming up with a routine that accommodates both is a good plan. Designate time for exercise, time for rest, and time for putting the pedal to the metal on the job. As much as you might like to think that you should have had your life squarely in hand once you reached adulthood, it's easy to forget you need structure as much as the little ones do. Create your calendar with balance in mind.
From the moment you open your eyes, you're on a mission to get things back in their proper places. Of course, this hustle to reshuffle may be easier said than done if others are involved in the process. In your pragmatic mind, getting reorganized on any level should be no tougher than cleaning up the morning after a party, especially if you have a prioritized to-do list in hand. Unfortunately, it's not as easy for everyone else. If others aren't quite so enthusiastic about fixing their own lives, offer your help but let them move at their own pace. Lead by example and not by command.
It's your turn to take the reins managing a domestic situation that needs to be diffused soon. Every family has complicated issues that aren't easy to discuss, and yours is no different. It might be awkward if someone brings up a dispute that you are not directly involved in today, but you are quick to rebound. Step in and do what you can to restore peace, even if keeping quiet might allow you to escape the drama. Clear your throat, speak your truth, and express your willingness to mediate a conclusion. Facilitating healing within the ranks is a noble pursuit.
Figuring out the meaning of someone's words may preoccupy your thoughts, but it's time to let it go now. If the only way to process your feelings is by asking a person to explain their intention, that's exactly what you should do. On the other hand, if a little voice at the back of your head is telling you that you might be overreacting, resolve to forget about it and move on. Either way, stop overanalyzing the conversation. Sometimes people don't think before they speak -- or after, for that matter. Switching your focus saves the day.
Your future is calling, and you realize you need more information before you can answer. A plan to keep yourself financially stable for the long haul is on your mind, and you're eager to put it into action. Your strategy involves both earning and saving, but that's not a problem since you're unafraid of working hard and you've lived on a shoestring in the past. You want to be sure that you have everything you need, without depending on anyone else. Money can't buy happiness, but it certainly makes the trip toward finding it a whole lot more fun. Start small and make every penny count.
Watching stage one of a pet project perfectly unfold makes your day. You love it when a plan comes together, and you have earned the right to rejoice after three long weeks of Mercury retrograde doing its best to interfere. If you weren't already determined to see this endeavor through to the end, you are now. Give yourself a quick pat on the back and a night of uninterrupted sleep to celebrate your accomplishments. If you're persistent, you get what you want; if you're consistent, you get to keep it. Success is a heartbeat away.
There's something magical about the process of digging on any level. It doesn't matter whether you're burrowing into the earth, delving into a book to do research, or exploring the depth of your emotions via a therapy session. Digging releases something primal by allowing you to discover a treasure that would otherwise remain hidden. Follow your instinct to poke around under the surface today. No matter what you uncover, you might learn a valuable truth that serves you well in the future.
Although it may be complicated being authentically you at times, the love and support of your peer group makes it a whole lot easier today. At least someone you trust has your back when it matters most, and you're nothing if not grateful. Of course, you're also eminently adaptable by nature, which can make you look like easy prey to predators. However, hiding your true self is not the answer. Don't allow the expectations of others to control your journey when you are the captain of your ship. Dr. Leo Buscaglia said, "The most difficult thing to be is what other people want you to be."
