It's not your anger that lands you in trouble today, it's what you say. Hot-under-the-collar Mars pushes chatty Mercury's proverbial buttons, triggering a verbal barrage so quickly that you don't know how things escalate to such a heated point. Although you can't take back what's already been said, you can apologize for your loss of temper. Don't wait to repair a broken bridge. Better yet, learn to control your feelings so you can prevent a break in communication down the road. Compassion creates change.
You may travel a little further today on your quest for peace and harmony. However, you like the reassurance that comes from knowing where you are, so finding yourself in uncharted territory can be unsettling at first. Don't be afraid to ask questions; it's the fastest way to gather information. But watch closely how people react. Be ready to back off or you might inadvertently alienate someone now. A person's actions will show you what their words do not.
You're unwilling to listen to someone else's advice on a relationship matter today. You don't want to hear poetry, watch a movie or explore your favorite fantasies. You just want the facts -- and not just any random facts. You need unbiased information that uncovers the raw truth and enables you to gain a clear perspective on your current situation. Fortunately, the healing power of words lands where it does the most good now. William Shakespeare wrote, "No legacy is so rich as honesty."
Something is shifting in your heart that enables you to be more accepting of those you love. Although you may need to clean up a mess you helped to create during a recent emotional storm, you're ready to look ahead rather than cling to the past. But don't be too quick to assume that your newfound openness will automatically fix all your relationship problems. You are still a creature with feelings and recognizing them when they surface is necessary for the healing process to continue. Forgiveness starts with you.
The warmth of your love-light is reflecting back at you in your personal relationships now. But romance isn't the only way to enjoy someone's company while good-natured Venus is camping out in your 7th House of Companions for the next three weeks. Clarify your intentions about what you want from others and what you have to offer them. Make plans to share pleasurable activities. Put your emotional energy toward solidifying your friendships. In the final analysis, the only gift you have to give someone is you.
Your time at work offers an additional bonus today because you need a vacation from personal issues. Being a dedicated worker often brings you joy from a job well done. Fortunately, you have little mind space left over for other matters when you are intently concentrating on your assigned tasks. It might even be a relief that you don't have to talk about your emotions now. However, this avoidance technique is not a long-term solution; sooner or later you must sit down and address your feelings. Running away from yourself only works for so long.
You are extremely appreciative of the people who love you and support your dreams, but sometimes you get so busy that you can take them for granted. However, your gratitude for their presence may be on your mind now that value-conscious Venus is traveling though socially aware Aquarius in your 5th House of Self-Expression. Stop what you are doing and use whatever technology is handy to thank someone special for being a part of your life. The healing energy of your words sends out ripples of kindness in unforeseen ways.
Your thoughts may drift back to childhood memories or more recent recollections of experiences with your parents or siblings. Although some of them might be very sweet, there are probably a few less-than-pleasant associations in the mix. Clinging to negative emotions about someone doesn't communicate your feelings to them; it only detracts from your present state of wellbeing. Forgiving others -- especially those no longer in your life -- is less about their absolution and more about the restoration of your own heart. To heal a wound, you need to stop touching it.
You might find yourself lingering at the water cooler a bit longer than usual now. Or you may spend more time chatting online with a friend. Your calendar is probably as busy as ever, but you could place higher value on a variety of social connections while congenial Venus is dancing through your 3rd House of Distractions. Enjoy the additional emphasis on lighthearted communication, but don't forget about your previous obligations. Abraham Lincoln said, "You cannot escape the responsibility of tomorrow by evading it today." Pleasurable pursuits often come with a price.
Your attention is shifting from what you want to accomplish in life to managing what you've already acquired. Taking inventory of your personal possessions may be a first step to making a decision about a significant upcoming purchase. But your current interest in the value of things is also a reflection of your own self- worth. Ultimately, your happiness does not come from what you own, but from within.
A little ritualistic celebration might be in order today to express your gratitude to the universe for all your blessings. Rolling out the red carpet may be too flashy, but you want to make certain beautiful Venus knows she is welcome upon her annual return to your sign. Give yourself permission to express your heart's desires to those you trust. Do whatever you can to improve your relationships with your friends and family. Go out of your way to enjoy the sweetness that the cosmos is offering for your pleasure. But don't selfishly keep it all to yourself. Remember, one kind word can change someone's day.
It could be time for you to declare a social moratorium, so you can temporarily retreat from non-essential activities. Being in the company of people is often quite exhilarating, but eventually the noise begins to take its energetic toll. Don't burn any bridges as you withdraw into your shell today, since nothing will be gained by blaming others for your emotional exhaustion. A generous dose of rest will replenish your soul. Irish novelist Laurence Sterne wrote, "In solitude the mind gains strength and learns to lean upon itself."
