You may think that you’re going to cruise through the day, but that’s because you aren’t expecting the obstacles that might appear in your path today. Your intended playtime quickly shrinks because meeting your obligations takes longer than you expected. Unfortunately, having a great idea doesn’t necessarily mean that you have a workable plan. You need to initiate action to get things going now or you won’t be able to take some time off for fun later.
You have responsibilities that take precedence over everything else today, so don’t accept a new job unless you believe it to be very important. If you promise to do something simply because of social or family pressure, you’ll probably fail anyhow. However, if your heart is fully engaged, then things should fall into place, even if it’s a struggle at the beginning. Don’t even try to assess your progress for several weeks; concentrate on the long-term picture, instead.
Your focus is on relationships now that the Moon is visiting your 7th House of Partners. Although the farseeing Sagittarius Moon encourages you to set lofty goals, you might encounter someone who embodies the Sagittarius spirit of big thinking. But don’t get overly excited or you could inflate one another’s expectations so much that your dreams become impossible to reach. Sharing your enthusiasm is a great place to start as long as you also have a practical plan in mind.
Although the Moon’s visit to your 6th House of Employment doubles your workload, you may believe that you can finish everything in a very short period of time. Unfortunately, you are being very impractical with your optimistic assessment. Luckily, your amazing friends come to the rescue by offering to help. But leaning on them too much isn’t a good idea right now because they may not be as reliable as you wish. Nevertheless, some assistance is better than none at all.
Your friends may be moving too quickly for you today. It’s not that you are unable to keep up with them; it’s just that you are bored of engaging in clever conversations without any lasting meaning. Unfortunately, going along with the group can backfire when your level of frustration rises, prompting you to express exactly what you feel. Balancing your abrupt words with a little sensitivity is wise since you might not realize the power of your message.
Your high expectations are not a guarantee that anyone will deliver exactly what you want. It may even be your boss or someone in power that lets you down today. Although you are able to recognize the dynamics, it’s still challenging for you to let go of your preferences. Protect yourself from being disappointed by remembering that other people’s actions are beyond your control. However, you can always change your response.
A current relationship could become awkward today. It may be apparent that you each want something different and although you both talk about compromise, neither of you are in the mood to negotiate. Unfortunately, it’s tough to sustain a heart connection while you are disagreeing about basic values. Don’t waste your energy trying to resolve the current tension; you’ll only feel worse if you attempt to force a resolution now. Fortunately, a conflict will likely dissipate on its own in a few days.
You might be frustrated by someone’s behavior today. A loving friend is only trying to help, but chances are that everyone else’s solutions will be so far off target that assistance from others is more troublesome now than productive. You may be left feeling that no one truly understands what you need. Don’t try to justify your beliefs; just retreat enough to reclaim your center of gravity and then move on.
The Moon’s current visit to your sign might be overwhelming if you are flooded with emotional messages that contradict each other. You wish you could set aside logic, but it’s smart to resist the temptation to react to every single whim. Instead of being irrational, observe your changing moods until they reveal a larger story. Being patient with your process allows you to honor your feelings while also acting in a responsible manner.
The pursuit of love may be unsatisfying today if an unattainable goal leads you around like a carrot on a stick. You could waste precious time chasing an unreachable dream if you don’t pay attention to the bigger picture. Fortunately, you can redirect your focus toward more practical goals by consciously changing your priorities. Once you have decided on a sensible destination, your hard work will pave the road to success.
You want to socialize today as the Moon moves through your 11th House of Networking, but previous commitments may require so much energy that you don’t have enough time. Your quiet frustration could turn to anger, but there doesn’t seem to be an available outlet for your emotions now. In spite of your desire to be with others, a temporary retreat could be what’s needed to shift the current dynamics. You might not have the best plan, so be as flexible as possible and don’t try to control everything.
You Fish may feel as if you have been left high and dry today. Professional demands require logical long-term planning, yet your heart’s desires could get left out of the equation. There is a significant amount of activity in your life now, and your personal needs might have to be put on hold so you can manage the complexity of the present moment. This state of emotional suppression is temporary; give it a few days to see where this strategy leads before trying a new approach.
