You mean well when you promise someone blue sky today, only to discover that dark clouds are blocking the light of the Sun. Unfortunately, you're unable to control the weather, but you can modify your response to the situation. No one will fault you for your human limitations, but their criticism is justifiable if you continue to offer assurances you cannot guarantee. Journalist Malcolm Gladwell wrote, "Incompetence annoys me. Overconfidence terrifies me."
Professing your appreciation for a friend's brilliant ideas may be all the encouragement they need to continue on their path. However, voicing your positive feedback entangles you in their work in ways that are not immediately obvious now. The good news is that you get to share in their success. However, your enthusiasm might not play out so well if they fall short of their goal. It's not that you are to blame for anyone else's failure, yet you could end up feeling guilty for your role in the process, nonetheless. Sometimes, the effort counts more than the outcome.
Clear communication is a necessary component of any relationship, but that doesn't mean sweetening the truth for the sake of expediency is a good idea. Although a Mercury-Venus conspiracy in your 7th House of Partners might convince others that all is well, there are more intense issues stewing below the surface. Instead of waiting until the hidden feelings bubble into the open, express them before they can do any harm. Napoleon Hill wrote, "Don't wait. The time will never be just right."
You know where your current routines fall short of your highest ideals and you truly want to improve your lifestyle. You might share your ideas about cleaning up your diet, but verbalizing your intentions is not the same as putting a plan into action. Unfortunately, you could talk yourself out of initiating a healthier regimen because of a past failure. However, experience is the best teacher. Just start small and watch the benefits grow over time.
It's easy for you to make a mediocre idea sound fantastic today. A Mercury-Venus conjunction rattles your 5th House of Fun and Games, enabling you to infuse a serious situation with a playful passion. You see possibilities where others only perceive problems. Just be sure that you're not in denial of the obvious. Review your research now; if the positive potential is still present, then go for it with gusto. However, a half-hearted attempt is a waste of everyone's energy. Yoda said, "Do. Or do not. There is no try."
You may be unsure of your long-term goals today because you're so busy focusing on your immediate surroundings. You're happiest when reassessing what is nearest and dearest to your heart because the familiarity is comforting. However, there are only so many times you can go over the same material, especially when you actually need to expand your vision further into the future. Practice extending your senses by looking at clouds or the tops of buildings and trees. H. Jackson Brown Jr. wrote, "Think big thoughts but relish small pleasures."
There's nothing more enjoyable than relaxing in the company of friends and family now. However, your notion of pleasure thrives on the give and take of communication. Unfortunately, you might not have enough free time to fully explore a subject of interest. But conversations don't need to delve into the mysteries of the universe today; they only need to create a structure for an ongoing dialogue. Louisa May Alcott wrote, "The power of finding beauty in the humblest things makes home happy and life lovely."
You might experience a minor crisis of confidence today, but nothing serious enough to stop you in your tracks. Retrograde Mercury bumps into value-conscious Venus in your 2nd House of Self-Esteem, prompting you to question the importance of your creative contribution to a project now. However, your work will stand on its own merit if you continue to put forth your best effort. Goethe wrote, "Doubt can only be removed by action."
Your charm enables you to turn a difficult situation around in record time. However, you must believe your sales pitch before you try to convince anyone else. It may be nearly impossible to discern the facts now, especially if you can't remove your self-interests from the equation. Nevertheless, there's always room for objective analysis to help illuminate the truth. Psychologist Albert Ellis wrote, "Rational beliefs bring us closer to getting good results in the real world."
Normally, you place your trust in the established structures of the three-dimensional world. In fact, you often gain notoriety for your mastery of the system. However, the floodgates are wide open now, allowing a steady influx of otherworldly images to flow into your awareness. Choosing to tune into the stream of consciousness improves your chances of healing an old emotional wound while blocking out the data that could lead to defeat. G.K. Chesterton wrote, "There are no rules of architecture for a castle in the clouds."
Your friends appear to be quite supportive of your grandiose plans today, but you're not ready to take their encouragement at face value. In fact, you may think they are reflecting only the most positive aspects of your current work, and you're not interested in feedback that fails to consider the entire picture. However, they might actually offer constructive criticism if you bother to listen. Sun Tzu wrote, "If you do not seek out allies and helpers, then you will be isolated and weak."
You have a one-track mind today and can't stop thinking about climbing the ladder of success. Although there is a cosmic pile-up of planets in your 10th House of Career, your emotional wellbeing is more complicated than the satisfaction of receiving a promotion. Don't let your worth be determined solely by your current position in the hierarchy of achievement. Albert Einstein wrote, "Try not to become a man of success, but rather try to become a man of value."
