We start the day with the Moon in determined Taurus, but it lightens up considerably as it enters flighty Gemini at 12:58 pm EST. Our thoughts change with the changing winds and we let go of that which has been holding us down to earth. Like kites, we soar into the sky. But it's not all light and easy, for Jupiter, the largest planet of them all, hangs in apparent stillness, poised to begin his slow retrograde phase. New opportunities are not as plentiful, but we get to reconsider ones that have already passed us by.

You may want to vary your regular routines today as you attempt to break out of the rut you've created for yourself. You've been on the verge of change now for a while. It's not going to happen today, for the blue sky in your life now seems far away. Don't get discouraged. Instead, shake up some of the more mundane aspects of your day--just to create some much-needed excitement.
TAURUS (April 20–May 20):
You can waste a lot of time by worrying if you are really okay. Things that you usually take for granted are now somewhat unclear. It's like you can't build anything real if you think the underlying sand may still be shifting. And even though you could be more stable than many other people, you aren't quite as sure of yourself as you normally are. Try not to be overly concerned. Your insecurity will pass.
GEMINI (May 21–June 20):
If it seems like you've already covered the issues that are now concerning you, this is more than just a dj vu type of an illusion. Sure, your imagination is active now and it's difficult to separate illusion from reality, but the truth is that you need to think this whole thing through one more time. At this time you can be less concerned with the facts--since you already know them--and more concerned with the possibilities. Don't play all your cards quite yet.

You could have big plans for yourself this year, but it's going to take some time to achieve your goals. It's not that your goals are so grandiose that they are unattainable. Instead, it's more your style to take things step by step. Use these days to think about all that you want to do. Give yourself some time to make a plan and then move cautiously in the direction of your goals. You'll get there as long as you don't try to rush.
LEO (July 23–August 22):
There's still considerable pressure in your life, even if you've been doing a good job at hiding it. Beginning today, you'll feel less inclined to keep it all to yourself. Friends come to the rescue, whether they realize how much they are helping or not. Even if you do try to share meaningful issues with them, they still won't fully understand. On the other hand, it could be as simple as having them around to distract you from your deeper concerns that does the trick.
VIRGO (August 23–September 22):
If the forward motion in your life seems sluggish or even thwarted, try to take it in stride. What may feel like setbacks are really just opportunities for you to make it better. Sure, it may not feel that way, but the passing weeks will give you a different perspective on what's been going on. Don't fight so hard against the resistance. Ease off and let these current experiences have a chance to settle into the background. When they do, you'll have another turn to get it right.

These have been times of growth for you in ways that are not necessarily seen by others. Your inner work has taken on a practical orientation, but it could be a while before the benefits become obvious. It can be frustrating, however, if you attempt to stay in the logical realms, for your imagination now needs to have some breathing room. Give yourself permission to dream or to daydream, without any need to be productive.
SCORPIO (October 23–November 22):
Even if your day starts off slowly, by the time afternoon or evening rolls around, you could be all over the map. In fact, you may have lost the map. This is a clue to remind you that your directional bearings cannot be made by analyzing a map, for no one has ever gone where you are now going. This path is for your steps and no one else's. You can't expect others to make it easier for you. But just because you've stepped off the map, this doesn't mean you mean you can fall asleep at the wheel. Pay attention to what's in front of you.
SAGITTARIUS (November 22–December 21):
The energy in your life shifts now as you move your attention to a variety of situations. Most important on your list is how you manage your relationship with others. An unexpected twist can turn your day upside-down but if you are willing to be flexible, this can set you free from what was holding you back. Your logic is somewhat clouded now, so try to put off the most important decisions for a day or two.

It's a little unsettling when the things you were most sure of seem to disintegrate in front of your eyes. It's not like the most important things are falling apart completely. It's more like situations have become less clear. Your precision guidance systems are not operating up to specifications, and this means that you'll have to fly by the seat of your pants. Loosen up and enjoy the ride--even if you don't know where you are going.
AQUARIUS (January 20–February 18):
There's a fresh breeze blowing into you life now, but you'll need to have your windows open so that you can notice it. Things may not change immediately, but you sense that something is different. This transition may involve your desire to learn more about your own inner workings and hidden psychological and spiritual needs. But today isn't a particularly deep day. Instead, use the breeze to distract yourself from the heavier issues and go flying up into the realms of your own imagination. It's almost like a mental holiday. Taking a vacation for a few hours doesn't mean that you have to go anywhere.
PISCES (February 19–March 19):
It could be time for you the think about your home and family in new ways. With Uranus now in your sign for an extended 7-year stay, it's difficult to make long term plans, for unexpected twists and turns will appear in your path along the way. Today may foreshadow some of these greater changes that will unfold over the next year or so. But don't make too much out of what is going on now because your lens on reality might be making things seem bigger than they are. On the other hand, closing your eyes won't make the situation go away.
