The key to overcoming today’s stumbling blocks may seem painfully obvious with objective observation — if objectivity is actually even possible here. We may seem to find ourselves quickly stuck in a quagmire of fatalism. There is increased potential for missed opportunities when we can’t clearly see how slowdowns and obstacles may be giving us advance warning of any inherent weaknesses in our plans. Adaptability, flexibility, and resourcefulness are today’s most important abilities. However, under the imminent Taurus Moon, we may be more inclined to allow determination to become stubbornness and quickly lose our advantage — which continues to be found in faith and optimism.

The Aries moon cuddles up with Venus this morning, which should support some much-needed, restorative sleep. This energy is also very healing when it comes to matters of the heart, so you’ll likely wake up feeling physically and emotionally balanced.

As the afternoon rolls in, we see a shift in the energy when the moon moves from fiery Aries to grounded, sensual Taurus. Check in with your body and do some light stretching if you need to release any tension or stress that accumulated in the last day or so. These vibes are also great when it comes to both financial and internal security, so engage with activities that build up your self-worth and your bank account.

When you’re done with work for the day, you’ll be in the mood to treat yourself—and you should! Taurus energy is all about the finer things in life like good food and luxury. Give yourself permission to do a little bit of online shopping this evening. Just remember to stick to your budget. A tasty dinner is also in order, so set aside some time to cook an awesome meal or grab takeout from your favorite local restaurant. Self-care is also a big theme when it come to this lunar placement, making it a great time to take a bubble bath and give yourself a mani-pedi! 

DAILY ORACLE

What a busy day lay ahead. There is a familiarity to the work and the day, a routine by which you can set your clock. And yet there’s another side to the 8 of Pentacles that we don’t normally see. It offers us the chance to do something different with our day, to change it up a little. To try something different – to get out of our comfort zones and be creative in our work.

Those of you with visions of Freddie Mercury in a short skirt and pink lipstick singing, “I want to break free..” will know exactly what I’m getting at. The monotony of the everyday. Day in, day out – same old, same old. Here’s your chance to break the mold and do something different. You still have to do some work, but you get permission from the 8 of Pentacles to do it a little differently.
