Too shy to say what you mean? Saying something that reveals one of your fears may feel like an invitation for rejection. But in fact, it can be a very empowering act — especially today. Your thoughts might be misread, but your words cannot be misunderstood. State your truth, and stand by your statement. Own your feelings by giving them the respect they deserve. The world has to know what you really think.
Don’t worry too much if you’re having a hard time communicating with your family right now. The state of your emotions is uneven, and you’re struggling with conflicting desires: to feel independent and to feel connected. It might take a while to work through this internal conflict, so give yourself the time and space you need. Your family loves you, and they realize that you might need some time by yourself. Do not underestimate how well they understand you.
Your flexibility will come in very handy today, when a lot of different
opportunities strain the delicate balance you’ve achieved between your
personal and public lives. Have no fear — you will be able to juggle
all elements easily and with your customary flair. The pace of your
life is picking up, but you will have no problem keeping up. As you
prove to yourself how capable you are, you’re also proving to everyone
else that you are a force to be reckoned with.
The thriftier you are in the present, the more extravagant your future can be. You need to keep a tight grip on your wallet for just a little bit longer if you want to be prepared for what’s coming in the next few weeks. A big chunk of change will get you much closer to where you want to be. So for the time being, watch what you buy, skip your usual extravagances and go back to brown-bagging it for lunch. You will be very grateful that you tightened your belt.
It’s very important for you to be frugal right now. Resist dining out, steer clear of the mall, and avoid that friend of yours who loves living life on credit. You can survive being accused of being cheap, and your ego doesn’t need material goods to be healthier. Go for low-maintenance entertainment — charades, anyone? You can stimulate your creativity by thinking of ways to have fun without breaking the bank.
If your movement feels somewhat constricted today, it’s only because you are letting yourself be talked out of things by people who don’t know you very well. Just because someone has power over one aspect of your life doesn’t mean that he or she has power over your entire life! Stop giving control to other people. Go your own way today, and move about your life freely. You don’t need anyone to tell you what to do.
The dictionary may define an obstacle as ‘a person or thing that obstructs progress,’ but today any obstacles you face will have quite the opposite effect. When someone tells you no today, all you’ll hear is a challenge to change this person’s mind. You are up to the task, and you’re eager to make all obstacles disappear. This applies doubly for your personal life, so if someone you’ve been pursuing has been a tough nut to crack, this is a sure sign to keep going.
You should take the advice of your closest friends, relatives or associates today-even though doing so may feel like admitting defeat. Back away from this project, and let other people step in to finish things up. Your energy is not strongly centered around the idea of completion right now — today, you are much more about getting things started and building momentum. So don’t let yourself get bent out of shape if someone thinks your turn is up.
