We’re forced to balance our day as waves of emotions come crashing around us. The cosmic weather suggests that the sensitive nature of today will start to settle later in the evening; still, we’ll benefit from finding minutes for mindfulness and honouring our feelings when need be. Our focus should be on giving our souls a safe place to land, instead of trying to cover a hot pot that’s surely boiling over. Reaching out to loved ones and reminding them they’re in our thoughts are simple ways to stay in touch. The cosmos reward introspection and prudence because ill-informed opinions won’t get us far.
Before you act on an idea or make a big decision, try to sit with it for now. This way, you can determine how you should best proceed.
Someone’s words might annoy or upset you, but you don’t have to take the bait or feed into their drama.
You might feel like you’re being spread a little too thin. Pull back a bit so that you can regroup.
Getting what you want might not happen as quickly as you might like. Have a little more patience.
Now might not be a good time for bringing up a touchy subject with a family member. Reflect on what you hope to achieve with such a discussion first.
You might be overthinking things and making a problem bigger than what it should be. Talking to a trusted friend might help you to zoom out and find perspective.
Don’t waste too much time waiting on others to validate you. Be your own biggest fan instead!
Try to avoid rushing to judgment. Make sure you have the full picture.
Be mindful of oversharing or offering unwarranted opinions, since it may not go over well. Practice discretion.
You have more to gain by being flexible or generous with others than you stand to lose.
You may not be able to control what someone else does, but you can control how you choose to handle it or respond.
Today could be challenging. Try not to lose your sense of humour or your capacity for joy.
You steer clear of anything that’s too conventional or unoriginal. You’re probably someone who wants to make a difference, whether it’s within your community or on a larger scale. You might be drawn to humanitarian work. Some might say that you’re an agent of change! You encourage people to be better and do better. You’re encouraging and uplifting. You’re also unafraid to try new things, and you love inviting people to join in on the fun. This year, make it a practice to remind yourself just how special you are.
