Keep a playful spirit, even when managing pressing business. It's easy to take yourself or others too seriously now, and that's when tensions and power struggles could start to mount. However, if you can find the occasional moment of humor today, you won't need to worry about someone stealing your thunder. Relish whatever tough task you must tackle without stressing about its outcome. A creative collaboration can eventually provide the solution for any problem that arises. Set your ego aside for the sake of productivity. Cooperation trumps competition when there is so much at stake.
The hustle and bustle of your world may be quite demanding, especially if you just want to catch your breath and collect your thoughts. You might not be contending with life-or-death issues today, but you still could welcome sharing what's on your mind with family members or roommates. Discussing intimate issues and sensitive secrets with people who know you well can be quite reassuring. Emotional familiarity provides opportunities for real insight and radical growth. Dr. Brené Brown wrote, "Trust is built in very small moments."
You may be emerging from a recent fog that obscured interpersonal dynamics. It might feel as if the energy is off-kilter within your social circle. However, you're looking to air out the conversations cycling in your head now that chatty Mercury is sailing into your 3rd House of Communications. Fortunately, you could discover that others are more than willing to hear what you have to say without the previous static and discord. Paradoxically, sharing your doubts makes your friendships stronger in the end.
Self-restraint is in order today because you may be battling people for all the wrong reasons. You're ready to fight for what you think is yours, whether it's your own shelf in the fridge at work or an overdue raise. However, be careful who you declare as the enemy. You might miss out on gaining valuable allies if you're too quick to judge. Before you attack anyone with a barrage of words, check to be sure whether they are the real target. Find healthier ways to blow off steam now, rather than taking out your frustrations on the innocent. Eleanor Roosevelt said, "Anger is one short letter away from danger."
Your brain is sparking with so many fascinating ideas now that you find it hard to keep everything in check. Your thoughts might spin toward the heavens with philosophical musings on life or scatter in a thousand different directions with the notifications popping up on your mobile device. Nevertheless, it's essential to be patient with yourself once active Mercury slips into your sign and your 1st House of Self-Awareness today. Suddenly, your mind is awash with a sea of possibilities and it could take a moment to adjust and figure out your new priorities. The world is a stage and you are the star.
Living in the moment is nearly impossible now, yet being fully present is exactly what you need to do. Perhaps you're doubting your intuition, prompting you to resist making spontaneous changes. You prefer to hold steady to your current trajectory, hoping your self-discipline is strong enough to keep you from flying off tangent. Ultimately, improving your plans moves you closer to your goals, but you might not see the benefits until the work is done. The truth is in the pudding.
You're likely to snap out of a reclusive funk now, whether or not you even realize you were in one. You've been so busy tending to responsibilities at work and home that there was little time for anything else. Seek opportunities to socialize and reconnect while interactive Mercury is moving into your 11th House of Community. Nevertheless, you might not want to venture too far from your couch today, so you can either invite your buddies over or visit neighborhood friends. You are at your best when people are your priorities.
Directly asking for what you want isn't as simple as it sounds. You might avoid appearing vulnerable because you prefer not to be dependent on anyone else. You may seem crabby and cranky today as you try to prevent feeling emotionally exposed. However, your desires change almost as often as your moods. You will likely receive more support than you expect if you courageously admit your needs and soften your approach. Don't block the blessings of the cosmos by pushing others away. Honey attracts more bees than vinegar.
Take a sincerely given compliment in stride today. Although you appreciate the boost of confidence, you also appreciate critical comments because they show that others care enough to pay close attention. However, your current thinking is critical to your long-term success, so it's essential to balance the negative with the positive. The truth is often somewhere in between. You're receiving a fair share of feedback now and the wisdom is in knowing the difference between the advice worth keeping versus what you should toss. Aristotle wrote, "Dignity does not consist in possessing honors, but in the consciousness that we deserve them."
Sometimes pushing harder on something or someone who is resisting you isn't a winning formula. For example, a partner refuses to budge on embarking on a trip that you think is best done together. Or, you continue striving to reach a targeted performance in your workout and you can't seem to hit your mark. It may feel as if you're enduring a formidable test of your dedication. However, once you're resolute about your goal, reality might shift to meet you halfway. Paradoxically, external resistance is fueled indirectly by your internal dynamics.
You might hesitate to speak up for yourself regarding a contentious problem with a partner, coworker, or friend today. Unfortunately, there's only so much you can hold in before you must tell your truth or your issues are likely to multiply. Channel the energy of unexpressed emotions into crafting a more potent delivery that is neither rude or brusque. There's no reason to carry any stress in your body when quietly talking things over can alleviate the tension in the air. Transparency is the first step toward creating harmony.
You might choose to break away from the crowd to follow your own bliss today. It's only natural to be excited and a bit scared at the same time, even wondering if your instincts are leading you astray now. Thankfully, the cosmos is working on your behalf while the moody Moon smoothly trines lucky Jupiter. Trust that even if everything doesn't go according to plan, you possess the determination to figure out a successful escape route. Believe in yourself and others will too.
