We get a glimpse of the future when the Moon moves into progressive Aquarius at 7:42 am EST, for she is followed by Jupiter, Mercury, the Sun and Mars over the next weeks. Although the Aquarius Moon may have us wishing we were already around this bend, the cosmic weight remains in cautious Capricorn a few more days, continuing to slow us down. Running ahead in our dreams is easy, but turning these ephemeral notions into reality will take time.
Aries It's not easy for you to wait any longer, for you believe that you have been patient long enough. Although you might not be ready to make your move today, in your mind you are already out of the starting gate and running the race. Be aware of the differences between your current situation and your future goals, but don't try to resolve the two yet. Taking direct action too soon won't be worth the trouble it creates.
Taurus Although you are usually quite pragmatic in your approach to your job, now you may be too idealistic for your own good. It's hard to be pessimistic; even if nothing appears as good as you wish, there may be interesting developments that give you reason to raise your hopes. But don't expect too much from your dreams because being unrealistic can set you up for a major disappointment.
Gemini You have been rather somber lately, pondering the complexity of your relationships and how to get what you want without turning your life inside out. It's even possible that you have been stuck, unable to figure out how to turn the next corner. Luckily, your spirits lift today because you can feel some movement within your imagination, which allows you to begin to clarify what's ahead.
Cancer You might be a bit anxious today because you can sense that someone isn't being totally transparent with you. It's as if you know everything about a good friend and then you start to notice things that don't fit into what you thought was true. You may not know whether to disbelieve your recent perceptions or your previous assumptions. Don't force an answer; the rest of the story will be revealed in time.
Leo The relationship dance increases in intensity now as the Moon enters your 7th House of Partners. It's challenging for you to feel close to someone if it feels like he or she is pulling away from you. The truth is that your insecurity might make the gulf seem wider than it is. Allow others the space they need to define who they are without taking their independence as a personal rejection. Ultimately, this can strengthen the bond you already share.
Virgo It's time for you to get down to work, but it may not be quite as you imagined. What you began over the past few days can take a surprising turn, so it's important that you remain flexible. You may need to come up with a fresh approach if what you are doing doesn't work as well as it should. Although you may be tempted to rely on your analytical abilities, don't be afraid to do what feels right now, without trying to justify your actions.
Libra You are on a creative upswing, but you'll need to consciously give yourself permission to set aside your regular responsibilities for a couple of days. Luckily, you should be able to get away with spending more time on self-expression than on managing the affairs of your home and family. But this is not an all-or-nothing deal. Cover your obligatory bases before you seek enjoyment from artistic or playful pursuits.
Scorpio Although you still may have your share of work fulfilling your promises, you also need to take some time for yourself. This is not about self-indulgent withdrawal; you need to reclaim your center and get yourself planted back on the ground or you won't feel good about yourself. Once you pull in your energy and redefine your boundaries, you should be ready for another round of worldly engagement.
Sagittarius It seems a little easier today for you to make up your own schedule. It's not that you are free of all your commitments; it's just that you have a little more ability to move about without others cramping your style. Make use of your additional elbowroom, but don't abuse your newfound privilege or your freedom will vanish quicker than it appears.
Capricorn Express your originality now or what you've started might not achieve successful lift-off. One part of making your work endure is putting your personal stamp on it, so it doesn't appear the same as everyone else's. On the other side of the coin, it's also important that you don't overdo your non-conformity. Doing things too differently can make others feel uncomfortable. Somewhere in the middle is -- as it was for Goldilocks -- just right.
Aquarius You may have a hard time knowing what you are feeling as your emotions change from one extreme to the other now that the Moon is back in your sign. Optimism and excitement give way to fear of change and then back to anticipation of what may be next. Others cannot keep up with your mood swings, so it may be best to keep your intensity to yourself until your high-strung energy settles back down.
Pisces You are still trying to do the balancing act between being true to yourself and doing what others expect of you. But it's harder and harder to act as you think you should if it's not what you feel. Listen carefully to what your inner voice is telling you today, but don't make any long-term decisions yet. You still have time before having to make up your mind. |
