Don’t let others determine who you are. That is where your authority is most potent!

You have to dig in your heels with the astrological aspects of the day. The waxing gibbous moon enters Aries this morning, heightening the intensity and adding a ton of personal pressure on you to succeed and perform. The name of the game right now is your feelings being on display for the whole wide world to see, with a major chronic feeling of judgment appearing seemingly out of nowhere.

Love can feel like a job as the fresh outlook of Venus in the area of romance and partnerships gets some fireballs from an enlightening opposition to the lunar body herself! Your dating life will get some very steamy developments almost immediately.

Mercury retrograde is now also back in the airy sign of the Scales as well, so there could be a prominent development in your social life. This could even bring back influential connections and messages that pop up out of the blue. Someone has you on their mind, and they aren’t letting up.

For many, all the Scorpio energy creates a very obsessive quality that can be difficult to explain unless you’ve been through it before. Soul-mate and twin-flame connections are really getting this on a level so deep it can be hard to get certain people out of your mind.

These are tough transits for those who are going through emotional affairs, especially if a third party is involved. This could feel like sheer and utter hell. Remember, this is the season in which everyone is being asked to step into their personal power. If you’re giving your energy to someone who doesn’t reflect you back, they aren’t the right person for you!

Common effort is where we find salvation today. Our demands for individual autonomy are muted by the recognition that we need to find common ground and common purpose in order to effectively move forward. The only other option is weakened vitality and frustration. Although we may feel strong personal (individual) responsibility, we must face the fact that we are all connected by our ‘human-ness’ and the notion that we have to carry the weight of the world on our individual shoulders is an illusion of perverted self-importance or self-sufficiency — we need each other. Today offers us a bridge to understanding how our personal responsibility and individuality can feed a greater good and a greater purpose.
