This is not a good time to begin a new venture, ask for a promotion, or try to expand your activities in any way. Patience and perseverance are required of you now. Be willing to wait. Your problems and inadequacies seem more real and insurmountable than they actually are, so try not to become too discouraged.

If you just have to do or say it, perhaps you shouldn't. Force plays are favored, just make sure you're not on the wrong end of one. Think deep before you push hard. Suppressed feelings can be transformed into compulsive actions all around, so it may be a good time to question motives, both your own and others'.

There'll be no messing around with a certain person in mind - ooh no - it's straight down the line, black and white and then - right on to the nitty-gritty! Sound a little too much? Maybe, but it's probably what you need to get the ball rolling with a particular project, so just bite your lip for a while.

With a new relationship or job or project opening around the corner, make sure you tie up all those loose ends that have been hanging around for way too long. Flattery will get you everywhere when you meet with some people in authority or much-respected professionals. Consider contacting people you have not heard from in a long time.

Take it one step at a time. Make time for spiritual moments. Give yourself an edge by clearly defining what you want and then going for it. Your courage is strong but impulsive today. Communications with neighbors may be necessary but not welcome at the moment. Get clear about your intentions before entering long winded conversations.

Rigid thinking on your part can get you into trouble today. It's important for you to keep an open mind when judging the ideas of others as well as your own. Somewhere in the mix an off the wall idea is going to come your way that will turn out to be a real winner. Stay receptive to all ideas and you won't miss it!

You experience a burst of energy and are more vigorous, bold, assertive, and impatient at this time. You feel ambitious and capable of doing a lot and meeting challenges successfully. However, if your will is blocked, you become quite angry now. You are less willing to accommodate others and meet people half way.

Your more conservative side gets a boost and you may find that what and whom you have relied on before is still firmly behind you. You don't have to break the rules to make forward progress, those who are patient enough to play the game and wait their turn get the rewards.

During this interlude, deeply rooted and veiled energies are activated and have an effect on you more powerfully. You bear in mind incidents and events that you have not recalled in a long time. You are driven on impulse to do certain things, even though you may not intentionally appreciate why you are driven to do them.

Something that's been building up cannot be ignored for much longer - so make a point of sitting down and discussing the item with your nearest and dearest. Some urgent accounting needs to take place if you want your budget to meet your high expectations.

How today's astrological influence affects you can vary enormously. You feel much older and more mature now, and you view much of your earlier life as a more carefree, perhaps childish, stage of development. As you view the past, you certainly can see things you would have done differently, which is a positive sign that experience has indeed made you wiser.

A clash of personalities could leave you feeling disheartened with an association that you had high hopes for. Someone could need your advice concerning something you experienced yourself only recently. Don't let your mood stop you from attending the special dinner tonight, as there are people you need to see.
