The potential for confusing distractions continues today but we may find a greater capacity to balance our forward thinking optimism with the need to stay focused on the tasks at hand. However, such balance is only achieved through tremendous self-control and self-discipline. We need to guard against over-optimism, — even grandiosity — as well as overly aggressive risk-taking. Carefully balanced strategies and well-considered action offers tremendous progress so long as we don’t resort to hasty or reckless impulsiveness. The Moon goes void-of-course at 5:48 PM PDT, right before Mercury moves back into Libra and Venus moves forward into Libra. Although we may not realize it until tomorrow, the playing field changes significantly with these two shifts.

There is a ton of sensitive energy floating around the skies today. Be extremely kind to yourself in general. Yesterday’s conjunction between the sun and retrograde Mercury in watery Scorpio doesn’t end today. In fact, it might be a time to process a lot of things simultaneously.

The waxing gibbous moon in compassionate Pisces is in a beautiful trine to these Scorpio influences. In general, you can see your life as the waves of the ocean washing you back to shore. Think of yourself as floating out to sea on a life raft. If you try to swim against the tide, that’s when you will feel the most resistance. The key here is to surrender, let go, and see what comes up for you.

For those dealing with really tough psychological matters, it’s important to schedule some kind of therapy session or make sure you block off certain chunks of your day away from others if you’re able to do so. For those who feel like they’re continually rocking and rolling with the pressures of society, don’t be afraid to speak up for yourself. Everyone is feeling more sensitive than normal right now, and if you’re true to your heart, someone else can also feel inspired to be true to theirs as well. These are aspects of mutual receptivity, so you’re not only taking care of yourself, you’re letting the universe know that you deserve to be taken care of over the long term.
