Monday September 19th is a tension-filled day for Mercury retrograde as a waxing crescent Moon is in a square with Mercury. It’s imperative to avoid taking things personally during this tumultuous time. This is because of the ego-driven Sun advancing toward Mercury RG. But, the stars tell you to do it anyway.
This is what your sign could look like today.
It’s easy to use your energy and productivity towards your passions. The real challenge comes from using these same attributes for life’s tedious, unsavory aspects. Aries, you can rest assured that even the dull parts of life have a purpose.
Don’t underestimate your subconscious ability to affect your conscious reality, Taurus. It still has tangible consequences for those around you, Taurus, however personal your mental wellbeing might be. That’s a responsibility you must not ignore.
What would you say to someone you care about if they were in the same situation? You’d likely not want them to tolerate this struggle—so, why are you? Gemini, you deserve happiness and peace-of-mind just like everyone else.
Some beliefs are too valuable to be held on to forever. Reality tends to shift as we experience and learn more about life. There’s nothing wrong with letting go of something you once held dearly. It’s just part of the journey, Cancer.
You’ve found yourself in yet another battle between ego and emotion, Leo. This time, which side will you choose to win? Try not to dwell on the expectations of society when you are trying to find your answer. This is your life, not everyone else’s.
There is only so much time in a day. Not everything deserves it. The stars encourage you to learn to say no. To avoid burnout, you must set a limit on your productivity.
It’s important to stand up for what’s right, but it’s also important to get the whole picture before acting. In a time where chaos is running rampant in the cosmos, it’s more crucial than ever to get all your facts straight.
Part of personal growth is letting go of what doesn’t serve you, Scorpio. External factors such as a job or relationship, are also important. It also means getting rid of bad habits that will only hinder your progress.
Life is only possible when we are able to make changes. If we were to hold on to our worst moments, the whole world would be very harsh and unforgiving. As you forgive and receive forgiveness, remember this.
Just because your first instinct is to share your resources doesn’t mean it’s the one you have to follow. Generosity is certainly a admirable trait. However, you should be careful about giving beyond your means.
Aquarius says that short-term happiness can disguise itself as mental well-being. The shiny newness of short-term satisfaction fades, as does the joy. Instead, the stars encourage you to focus your energy on long-term satisfaction.
Pisces, the first step is to identify areas that need improvement. You certainly deserve to be proud of it. But don’t forget that there is more work to be done—arguably, the more important kind.
