Healing yourself enables you to be in a much better position to heal others. Your self-understanding was likely hard-won, but your experience can prove beneficial to someone who feels lost now. Luckily, progress is easier while the soothing Moon and therapeutic Chiron are collaborating in your sign. The principal gift you can give another is to be your authentic self -- a glorious reminder of the power of integrity. But your warm encouragement and willingness to ask tough yet compassionate questions are other contributions you can share. Malcolm Forbes wrote, "Presence is more than just being there."
The inevitable truth is staring back at you today. Acknowledging your feelings is necessary in order to move through them. Face the emotions you wish to avoid. Perhaps it bruises your self-image to imagine yourself as anything other than brave and strong; otherwise, your uncertainties can gain a tighter grip on you. Fortunately, your self-confidence grows when you tackle your own shortcomings with the intent to learn and grow. Nelson Mandela said, "The brave man is not he who does not feel afraid, but he who conquers that fear."
You're eager to mend any recent disagreements with friends and associates. But it can be stressful to be the one holding out the olive branch when there's always the possibility that you may be rejected. Nevertheless, if you're earnest about repairing the rocky road between you and others, you are likely to persist in your quest for peace even after being turned down. On the other hand, it's equally fair to ask for an apology if you were also wronged in an exchange. Call a truce and sort it out. Healing is a two-way street.
Your resiliency is your best ally today. A setback at work doesn't need to bring you down unless you let it. Sometimes, it's hard to begin again because feelings might linger after the damage is done. Maybe you can't trust your gut as easily as you once did. Or your confidence has taken a hit, and you wonder if you can make magic happen again. Start small and keep showing up. Leave positive affirmations in random places -- like a bathroom mirror, car dashboard, or refrigerator door. The more you step forward, the better you become. Act as if you are a success and you will be one.
Soften any of your biases hardened by your personal history. Greet someone unfamiliar to you as an opportunity to learn more about another person, the world, and even yourself. This is your chance to correct an inaccurate perception of people who might seem drastically different from you. Don't let an isolated encounter from the past prevent a positive engagement today. You may be amazed by how energetic you feel after the exchange because genuine growth releases pent-up negativity. En Vogue sang, "Free your mind and the rest will follow!"
Sometimes, you simply need to count your shortcomings and move forward. Otherwise, you may lose valuable time and money bemoaning past situations you can't change. But you can alter what's happening now, if you pay close attention to the current circumstances. Reassessing your strengths and weaknesses motivates you to create an entirely new game plan. The power is in your hands, so use it wisely. Zig Ziglar wrote, "If you learn from defeat, you haven't really lost."
You can forgive and forget or fight back when someone trespasses an important boundary of yours. Your response depends on the severity of the crime and your own unique situation. But reacting impulsively only makes matters worse now. Address any breach of your space by bringing your feelings into the conversation to give each other a choice. But if you speak too soon, both of you might miss the full scope of the situation and how to improve it. Stand up for your rights without starting a war.
Old wounds and unresolved issues surface at the most inconvenient places and times. It's all too easy to believe that your past hurts are about to become your present woes. However, it's within your power to determine what happens next. Luckily, the fiery Aries Moon joins healing Chiron, activating your inspiration and passion to burn through your pain rather than justifying it. Physicist Albert Einstein wrote, "No problem can be solved from the same level of consciousness that created it."
Don't give up on a pleasurable pursuit if your current results are unsatisfying. Maybe a favorite hobby -- such as painting or gardening -- is giving you trouble and your progress is slower than you wish. Perhaps you want to throw your brushes or shovel in the trash and call it quits. Lean into your penchant for philosophy and explore the point of pleasure. You might discover that what you feel on the inside is more important than what counts on the outside. However, if your passion is gone, then it's time to look elsewhere. Being creative is not a hobby, it is a way of life.
There just might be a cosmic reset button you can press today to repair and heal broken relationships. You have a chance to take a small step toward restoring a fractured connection while the reflective Moon cuddles with soothing Chiron. But you must be honest with yourself about the significance of this frayed bond. Bluster and false pride only lead you away from your own needs and the truth. As scary as it sounds, everyone benefits when you lay your cards on the table. Dr. Brené Brown wrote, "What makes you vulnerable makes you beautiful."
A sibling or close friend may share something vital with you today, increasing your appreciation and understanding of one another. Regardless of who reveals what, it may be jarring at first to realize how you missed such a key component of your relationship. But one reason you're connected is to grow and experience each other spiritually, which often means bearing your soul and risking rejection. Something worth having is also worth pursuing. Fortune favors the bold.
You don't always need to wear your game face when you are hurting, even during a business transaction. It doesn't matter whether you're receiving or delivering goods and services, it's often wise to take your emotions out of the equation. However, there's no doubt that commerce is also about how you negotiate relationships as much as the details of a financial deal. The cost of pretending is steeper and weakens any potential for future growth. Honesty is the best policy.
