Right now, you will be tempted to do something for pleasure which you ordinarily wouldn't enjoy or even be interested in. Influences from a lover or friend pull you in a direction that is a bit off the beaten track for you. If you goof off or choose to indulge yourself, there will be some form of pay back later. Beware of indulgences that compromise your values or integrity.
Contentment, emotional well-being, and harmony prevail in your personal relationships. At this time you relax and indulge in your pleasure-loving side. Unless other astrological indications override this influence, you are unlikely to be forceful and try to make things happen, but instead are inclined to flow along with people and situations, attracting what you need and letting the world come to you.
During this time period you feel a lot of tension between your goals, dreams, and aspirations versus your responsibilities. Typically, the struggle is between responsibilities to family members (children, parents, spouse) and career goals and ambitions, although your particular responsibilities and goals may be of a somewhat different nature. This is a problem many people face today, but at this time in your life it becomes critically important to strike the right balance.
Hidden passions, fears, jealousies, longings, desires, or needs surface in you now and can stir up trouble in your closest relationships. You are prone to be compulsive or demanding in a close relationship, to be emotionally driven and to force things to a head in some emotionally-laden situation. Positively, a relationship can be deepened and reborn now, given new life by your willingness to reveal yourself completely to your loved one.
Your work is exceptionally well-organized now, and you are able to accomplish a great deal. This is a time when you work patiently and perseveringly, and you make enormous progress in any task or undertaking that you put your mind to. You are able to concentrate on the essentials and the nitty-gritty details now. Use this opportunity for accomplishing practical tasks and achieving concrete results. You are able to work long hours without fatigue and enjoy your work as well.
Making important and difficult decisions is a key issue of this time period. You question important issues in your life and try very hard to come to crystal clear, simple solutions to problems. You now feel that some viewpoint you have held for a long time needs to be examined; you think about it deeply, and attempt to clearly formulate new opinions. The issues of your concern can span a wide range of topics from politics, religion, personal choices and decisions to highly technical issues in an area in which you have expertise.
Something which has been lost or hidden may come to light now. Secrets, long-buried feelings and desires, or skeletons in the closet could be revealed. This is also a time when you can easily go to extremes. You become deeply involved in, and even somewhat obsessive about, whatever you are doing. Driving yourself beyond your limits can be destructive now.
This is a time when you express yourself very clearly, and conversations, negotiations, and communications of all kinds are cordial and successful. Expect a rapid pace with numerous transactions, letters, phone calls, or errands requiring mental clarity.
You are inclined to be aggressive and hot-tempered now, particularly when your will is blocked. Your pushiness or competitive attitude is likely to create antagonism, hostility, and further resistance to your efforts. It is best to work alone rather than try to cooperate or coordinate your efforts with anyone at this time. Also, you are impatient and tend to behave in an impulsive, irritable way which makes you more prone to accidents during this period.
This is a difficult time period. Many things simply refuse to go the way you planned them. Things have a way of running their own course, regardless of your plans or intentions. Disturbances, annoyances, and interruptions make it difficult for you to stick to your schedule. Life can easily become hectic and disorganized. Unexpected company may arrive at your home, or your neighbor may decide to play his stereo loudly while you are trying to relax and rest. Little things that interfere with your efforts are very irritating to you now. For example, you may be on a diet and find yourself in a situation where you feel obligated to indulge in high-calorie foods.
You have strange desires, impulses, and feelings which are difficult to describe or understand. Your usual daily pursuits seem drab, meaningless, or curiously unsatisfying, so that it may be difficult to motivate yourself and focus on your work. On the other hand, you can get very fired up about something out of the ordinary, an ideal or dream, or fantasy that you usually consider too impractical to actually do anything about. Your imagination is very active. Artistic, creative work which expresses a visionary, whimsical, or fantastic quality is very fulfilling to you at this time.
