Horoscopes

Understanding the ways you hold yourself back may be possible right now. Perhaps you're obsessively competing against a more powerful person. To whatever extent you also depend on them, you probably resent them. For the time being, staying in your own league might be a healthier option than repeatedly knocking your head against a disparity in status that isn't going anywhere anytime soon. See how far you can get relying on your personal resources instead. What's achievable on that level could surprise you!

Your commitment to an organization could start to pay off at any moment. You might need to renegotiate your place in it, though. No matter what you intend, a key player may feel threatened by your efforts. If it's actually true that you're challenging them on some things, you probably won't succeed in hiding that. Basically, you'd better have valid reasons on hand to support the choices you've made. Be sure you're truly serving the community and not just feeding your ego.

Moving ahead toward your goals is presently possible, but the difficult part is likely in the details. Once you settle into your tasks, you may be derailed by an obstacle you didn't see coming. With the unstable Full Moon in your anxious 12th house, this could send you down the path of catastrophizing. The truth is that you can't plan for everything -- no matter how competent you are. Try to make your workflow resilient enough to handle the disruptions you'll inevitably face.

You might currently be ready to let your friends know about an interesting subject you've been studying lately. Watch out -- you're not guaranteed to like everything you hear in response! Still, as logical Saturn turns direct in your 9th House of Research, this could be a useful reality check. Despite any ignorant comments you receive, there are also potentially a few legitimate questions you ought to answer. Sweeping them under the rug now may only cause bigger problems for you later.

Clarifying your boundaries with another person may be necessary at this time. Perhaps you've drifted into a parental or familial dynamic that isn't appropriate for the current situation. Once you see something like this happening, you can't unsee it! Unfortunately, explaining the problem to your companion in these accurate but colorful terms might accidentally inflame the drama further. Look for specific changes that would put the two of you on a level playing field, then ask for those without derailing into potentially distracting commentary.

You may currently need to think critically about your commitment to a significant relationship. While the illuminating Full Moon strikes in your 9th House of Beliefs, it could become too obvious to ignore that you and your companion don't see an important issue the same way. Does this difference of opinion truly have a direct impact on whatever major task you're trying to accomplish together? Do what you must, but realistically think through all the costs and benefits of a potential separation first.

Looking clearly at the responsibilities you've taken on could serve you well today. As the revelatory Full Moon lights up your 8th House of Shared Resources, you might have to acknowledge that you've been letting someone pay you less than you deserve because you feel sorry for them. Even if they're legitimately vulnerable or disadvantaged in some way, things should ultimately pencil out for you too. You don't have to cut them off entirely, but something probably needs to change to balance the equation.

Being restrained in your self-expression could seem to make sense for the moment. Sometimes this is a wise strategy. That being said, if you start unloading resentment on others who are more open about their emotional needs, it's not working out. With the provocative Full Moon in your relationship sector, it may be easier for you to see the parts of yourself you wish you didn't have in someone else. You can't hide them forever, so you might as well try to accept them!

Your ongoing efforts to put down roots could be finding some success. With the basics starting to solidify, you have a good chance to start working on the details as the potent Full Moon emphasizes your responsible 6th house. What you need is a comfortable and nourishing space where you can rest. When you take this side of yourself seriously, you'll have more energy to invest in the kinds of adventures your sign is famous for. It isn't a waste of time!

Making a statement to your peers could be required at this time. You potentially have strong emotions about the subject in question, and that's likely to come through no matter what you say. Even so, as decisive Saturn turns direct in your 3rd House of Communication, you're equipped to identify any details that should be left out because they'll lead your listeners away from your main point. Your basic problem is probably pretty simple, so keep your message focused on the target.

Developing financial discipline may help you escape an unhealthy power dynamic ASAP. With the dramatic Full Moon in your vulnerable 4th house, perhaps you're realizing that someone is exploiting your secret desire to be taken care of. You can at least do something about your end of that equation. Sticking to what you're able to afford with only your resources alone might mean you have to sacrifice some creature comforts, but putting an end to the problem could be worth it!

Becoming more certain of your identity is now likely. As defining Saturn turns direct in your sign, you'll probably have a clearer sense of what does and doesn't belong to you. This process might especially be focused on certain beliefs or worldviews in your sphere of influence. Sharing your decisions with the people around you could provoke some conflict in the short term. You may not be able to agree with each other today, but you'll at least know for sure where everybody stands.
