The moon in Taurus is sending great vibes as it interacts with the sun, Neptune, and Mars throughout the day. Mid-morning, though, it aligns with Uranus, which can activate your impulsiveness and intuition; while this should be a good thing overall, the results could be unpredictable. Still, trust your instincts: Even if they don’t lead you where you thought you wanted to go, they’ll bring you somewhere more interesting.
Today, you might be presented with opportunities that require quick decision-making. There’s no time to give the issue as much thought as you’d like: You need to give an answer now. Even if you’re not usually afraid to be decisive, it’s still stressful to be rushed — you want to feel like you’re in the driver’s seat, not like you’re being pushed along by other people. But right now, there may be no other option than to move faster than you’re comfortable with. Do the best you can with the information you have, and go from there.
You’re good at talking yourself out of taking any risks. When you let your rational brain take over, it zooms in on all the potential pitfalls; ultimately, it seems safer not to put yourself out there. But today, stop overthinking. Say what you feel without worrying about all the ways others might misunderstand you. Your boldness might occasionally lead you into trouble, but that’s part of the fun.
You often come across as an open book, maybe even something of an oversharer. But in reality, as much as you enjoy letting others in, there are always some parts of your life you keep to yourself. Today, though, you might find that it’s harder to keep those boundaries in place. Maybe you find yourself sharing more than you intended, or maybe your more perceptive friends manage to intuit a deeper truth. Either way, people might end up learning more about you than you intended. It might be embarrassing at first, but it could lead to greater intimacy if you let it.
It’s important to have standards for the people you allow into your life. You’ve got limited social energy, and there’s no point in using it all on people who drain you, who don’t add anything to your life, who you might not even like very much. Today, just make sure that you’re not judging others based on criteria that don’t matter. It probably isn’t important how successful or impressive a person is — what counts is their values, their actions, and the way they make you feel.
You know from experience that breaking the rules doesn’t always go well; sometimes, it only leads to regret. But it doesn’t always go poorly, either. When the status quo is truly intolerable, bucking convention can be the only reasonable thing to do. When your bosses ask the impossible of you, saying “no” can be your best path forward. Today, don’t be afraid to be rebellious. Remind others — and yourself, if you’ve forgotten — that you won’t be pushed around.
Lately you’ve been yearning to try new things, but you feel hemmed in. It’s hard to step away from the path you’re on or to go against other people’s expectations for you. Sometimes, you worry that past choices have set you on a trajectory it’s now impossible to break free from. But today might be the perfect time to summon all your courage and try something different. Your future isn’t set in stone, and if you’re not happy with the way things are going, it’s within your power to make a change.
Strong feelings could appear out of nowhere today — maybe you’re suddenly angry at someone you’ve never had a problem with before, or maybe you feel deeply that you can trust somebody new, even if you hardly know each other. Don’t act on these emotions immediately if you can help it — there’s always a chance that you’re wrong — but don’t write them off, either. Your gut might be picking up on information that your brain hasn’t had time to process yet.
You’re good at reading people. This is true of people you’ve just met, and it’s even truer when it comes to those you know best. The more time you spend with someone, the more you come to understand their quirks, moods, and contradictions. But remember that you still don’t know everything about them. Today, your closest friends might surprise you. This doesn’t mean you were wrong before, only that people can be more complicated — and more interesting — than you first give them credit for.
As independent as you are, you also care deeply about building strong relationships. You understand the value of cooperation, and you want to be known as a good teammate and supportive friend. Every so often, though, it’s necessary to risk being seen as difficult. Today, if you spot a mistake, speak up. If you’re being treated unfairly, don’t just grin and bear it. You might worry you’ll seem fussy or selfish, but you’re doing the right thing, and others — at least the people who matter most — will understand.
You try not to put too much stock into external validation, but it’s hard. Sometimes you just need a bit of extra attention from the people around you. It’s easy to feel ashamed about this and try to suppress the feeling, but the more you ignore your emotions, the more problems your unmet needs will end up causing. Don’t tell yourself that you “should” be able to get by without the care you want — be honest with yourself about what you need, and don’t be afraid to ask for it.
The more structure you can build into your days, the more calm and relaxed you feel. When you keep up with your routines, you can trust that the practical side of life is taken care of, and it gives you the mental space to let your imagination soar. Today, though, your plans could veer off course. Your challenge is to adjust to the new circumstances you find yourself in. Fixating on how things were “supposed” to go won’t help you; instead, try to step whole-heartedly into the new.
When you’re tired or busy, it’s hard to stay open-minded; you don’t have the energy to deal with the unknown. But today, try to rediscover your interest in new ideas, people, and surroundings. Right now, interactions with strangers are more likely to inspire than drain you, and small deviations from your routines could be more interesting than stressful. Closing your heart to the unfamiliar won’t protect you, but embracing the unexpected could offer the burst of fresh energy you’ve needed.
