The day gets off to a slow start, but we are eager to leave the comfort of the Taurus Moon behind when the Moon enters restless Gemini at 1:10 pm EST. Unfortunately our thoughts, however clever, run into immovable circumstances that force us to reconsider our personal agendas. Tension builds as logical Mercury moves toward forming a stressful sesquisquare with unyielding Saturn tomorrow morning, making it difficult for us to manifest our plans.

You may be feeling quite positive about your future, even if today has its share of problems. Your confidence comes from the fact that your co-workers and friends enthusiastically support your ideas. Although you believe you're on the right track, something isn't working out the way you think it should. Don't change your plans; sticking to your guns will pay off in the long run.

Lately you have been pretty good about concentrating your efforts on what's most important, but it's harder to pay attention today. Something comes along now to distract you and you could waste a lot of energy before you realize what happened. Although you might not be able to prevent your mind from wandering, you can use conscious intention to pull yourself back to reality as quickly as possible.

You have been anticipating a change in your overall life path and now the time has come to make it happen. This might seem like a minor adjustment, yet it can turn out to be an important one. But don't make choices based on your whim of the moment; consider your options careful and then go with the one that will carry you the farthest.

Friends or co-workers might annoy you today if they seem unrealistically determined to have their way. You cannot understand how others can be so blind, maintaining their certainty in the face of contradictory facts. Don't try to show them the error of their ways now; it will only make you even more frustrated. They will learn what they need to on their own.

It's easier for you to connect with others in a social situation today, allowing you to be more playful. But don't think that you can overdo the partying without it negatively affecting your work. Instead of unconsciously scattering your energy on transient pleasures, pay attention to where your interactions with others are taking you and make intelligent decisions based only on how you want your day to go.

Your thoughts lead you back to decisions you must make at work, but you can see two opposite solutions to the current problem. It's a challenge to pick one path over the other, for they each have their distinct advantages and disadvantages. Nevertheless, you must decide. Write down the pros and cons of each and then make your choice. Paradoxically, there is no wrong answer as long as you go through an analytical process.

You have so many good ideas today that it's hard to focus on just one. You are looking at a variety of options to determine your future but don't want to be limited by any one choice. Fortunately, there's no reason for you to narrow your thinking at this time. Just enjoy playing with all the possibilities and leave the decision-making for another day.

You are usually ready to dig beneath the surface to discover the hidden truth. However, now you are more likely to avoid the emotional intensity by dancing around the edges of a significant issue. Even if you feel a bit isolated or emotionally detached, there's no urgent need to solve every mystery today. Give yourself permission to just go along with the energy and see where the flow takes you.

Others seem to be moving too fast for your taste today. You might try to slow them down by engaging in deep philosophical conversations, but your workmates seem unfocused as their attention jumps all over the place. It may be less frustrating to withdraw, rather than trying to control what's happening through force.

Although your day starts out easy enough, you might become more anxious as you are pulled in a variety of directions. It's crucial for you to prioritize your responsibilities because you cannot do everything that is being asked of you today. Leaving some jobs undone for now may be frustrating, but it's the smartest way to handle the complexity of the day.

You may feel as if you are on a roll as things get better and better throughout the day. You are able to enjoy yourself while meeting your obligations, but you'll definitely be busier than usual. Although you might take on too much, you can bounce back from your fatigue easily. Still, it's a good idea to practice a bit of self-control so you don't go running all over the map with little to show for it at the end of the day.

The Moon's entry into your 4th House of Home and Family highlights your need to withdraw from the hectic pace of life. But you may be surprised by how busy things get, even when you're safely situated behind your castle walls. Instead of seeking a slower pace today, try to enjoy the distractions as they happen. You'll be able to relax later in the week.
