General daily overview for October 7, 2024
Taking care of yourself is essential. With today’s only aspect, the sensitive Moon square critical Saturn at 10:50 p.m. EDT, trying to make things happen could be frustrating. We may be afraid to run in place when trying to get somewhere, and relationships with others may seem unsuccessful. It would be dangerously easy to let criticism, loneliness, or silence create hurt feelings, which makes it all the more important to be kind when everyone is feeling stress. Let’s support each other rather than tear each other down.
Ram
March 21 – April 19
Progress will likely be particularly difficult at this time. You might feel like you’re constantly trapped in all kinds of delays, misdirections, and distractions, preventing you from reaching the destination you’re looking for. Whether that destination is a literal place you’re traveling to or a more figurative project you’re trying to work on, be patient with yourself and the people around you. It may not be quick to get where you’re going, so try to enjoy the journey.
Bull
April 20 – May 20
Connecting with others can be more difficult than expected. You might feel like not everyone understands the meaning when you talk to other people, or you might be playing telephone games because you can’t get your schedules to line up. Although it can be overwhelming, try not to let it get you down. Remember that you will have more opportunities to communicate in the future. Waiting patiently to say the right words at the right time is key.
Gemini
May 21 – June 20
The feedback you want may seem just out of reach. You may have thought you had reached a new high when it came to your work or expression, but someone in your life, perhaps a boss or parent, might suddenly knock down your enthusiasm. Their criticism does not mean they are automatically right, but it would be beneficial to avoid getting defensive. Collect the information and do with it what you want, but listen to it first.
Cancer
June 21 – July 22
You do more than run in place, Cancer, even if you don’t feel like it. The habits you’ve developed may not seem successful yet, but don’t worry. Your constant work on these topics is likely fueling the progress happening underground, where you can’t see it changing every day. If you’re not feeling motivated, consider creating a visual reminder of the work you’ve done or the goal you’re working towards, such as a photo album or vision board.
Lion
July 23 – August 22
You might impulsively silence yourself for someone else’s benefit. A peer’s criticism of how you conduct yourself may have caused you to withdraw from the spotlight, but are you doing this to please yourself or to please them? If you know you’re happy in the spotlight and that’s where you feel most comfortable, then one person’s criticism shouldn’t be enough to push you into the shadows! Speak your truth, even if it’s not what everyone wants to hear.
Virgin
August 23 – September 22
It’s normal to want to show your heart to the people around you, but you deserve better than that. You may be clinging to naysayers from your past, especially if they caused you to feel less confident in who you were or what you bring to the table. However, the people around you right now should support you! They shouldn’t try to tear you down just because you speak out. You are worth more than what you can do for others.
Balance
September 23 – October 22
The people who were supposed to show up for you may not be consistent. You may have shown up for them in the past, but once it’s time to return the favor, they’re nowhere to be found. Be sure to think about their reasoning for why they couldn’t be there. While there are some situations where it would be understandable if they couldn’t show up for you, there are others that are not acceptable. Save your energy and time for those who want mutual friendship.
Scorpio
October 23 – November 21
Reckless behavior can threaten strong foundations. Do your best to avoid crossing the line with friends at this time, as well as romantic relationships, because taking a big risk is unlikely to result in a positive outcome for you or the people around you. Be respectful with how you behave and try to be aware of what may hurt their feelings. Even accidentally stepping on toes can cause some connections to end. Walk around in their place.
Sagittarius
November 22 – December 21
You might feel like you’re spinning your wheels. Even if you generally enjoy discussing a topic or work hard trying to learn something new, your head and heart may just not be in it. The more you try to force yourself to do something you don’t want to do, the more likely you are to see a lack of results. Your authenticity is one of your greatest assets right now, so be honest with yourself.
Capricorn
December 22 – January 19
Even a crowded room can get lonely. When you’re with a casual group, whether they’re new acquaintances or old friends you haven’t spoken to recently, you can feel extremely isolated. They may not understand why you don’t get along with them, and you may not understand what really stands between you and a connection with this group. Their vibe just might not be what you’re looking for! If so, it might be a good idea to start looking for different connections.
Aquarius
January 20 – February 18
Your past could hinder your future. Decisions from your story still affect your current world – their large-scale consequences may now be your responsibility or hinder your current work. Even if you can’t solve the problem immediately, you can probably solve the problem creatively. Try not to see things in black and white, like your past actions preventing you from building your preferred future. There is always room for growth.
Pisces
February 19 – March 20
Receiving a lack of direction can hinder your progress. You may be seeking information from an authority figure or mentor who isn’t providing it, and when you seek them more carefully, they might end up confusing or discouraging you with their answers. This is potentially a situation where you must follow your own leadership, and although it may be uncertain, it is essential that you rise to the challenge. You are worth the effort to become a hero!
