Our pasts still matter in the present. Intense Mars moves backward into guarded Cancer at 5:44 am EST, as its retrograde path has us revisiting any matters that we have yet to find closure on. Later, communicative Mercury pushes confusing Neptune, making it hard to tell up from down. Misunderstandings and forgetfulness don't mix well! Thankfully, once the thoughtful Moon conjoins wounded Chiron, we'll understand how to give one another time to think -- and, eventually, heal. We must honor the needs of our souls.
Certain family matters can't go unaddressed any longer. These might be arguments that you had with biological relatives, joint businesses that you share with committed partners, or even future plans that you're building with your chosen family. You may be able to see what actually went wrong between you at any past point and make amends. Keep in mind the risk of getting too passionate and reopening old wounds. You're capable of compromising and moving forward in a way that works for everyone.
Old conversations could be back for round two. Whether or not you're the one that brings it back up, be honest with yourself about what you want to say and how you really feel. Dodging the issue, avoiding communication, or trying to sugarcoat your emotions regarding the situation invites hard feelings down the line. There's no need to be harsh -- make sure to allow them to have equally genuine self-expression. That way, you have a good chance of putting it to bed.
Half-done jobs may require your attention -- particularly any projects that didn't get all of your energy in the past. At the time, there was probably just too much going on for you to give it the attention it deserved. Today, you're able to focus on such ideas in a healthy way. Don't feel that because you weren't able to do it perfectly the first time that you can't go back and improve on it. Life is a work in progress!
You could be getting a second chance, especially if you thought that you'd been passed over when it came to an opportunity that you were very excited about. Even if you weren't initially chosen, you may notice that you're beginning to get attention again. It might not be the exact same opportunity, but there is likely a connection between the two. Keep trying until you get your yes! If it's something that really matters to you, continue to put yourself out there.
Your mindset may need to be reevaluated. There could be an end goal that you're working toward, and you thought you had the formula for success, but you're beginning to realize that it's not producing your desired results. Instead of continuing to throw yourself into the same pattern you've been trapped in, make a conscious effort to modify the pattern into one that works better for you. You know what you want -- you may just need to reroute your path to it.
A dream you thought you'd forgotten could be back with vigor! You may have taken no for an answer a long time ago, or perhaps a different interest took over your focus. As you recall those old ambitions, the new heights you're capable of reaching will come into view. A single new door opening could be all it takes to revive your past passion -- even if you built that door yourself. You might as well give it a shot!
A career opportunity might be coming back around after you thought you'd missed it. You may have even interviewed for this opportunity before and were passed over, but this second chance could prove itself even more fortunate than the first. Tap into your confidence and show that you have grown since the last time you spoke! You're ready for any challenges that might come your way. Keep up a competent, calm demeanor -- it'll help you get where you need to go.
Up-to-date knowledge could transform your regular routine. It might have been difficult for you to stick to an ongoing schedule, potentially because you couldn't find the right motivation. Today, at last, you may have discovered a method that works for you -- something that fits your schedule, personality, and lifestyle. While change is always a bit challenging, as it requires you to step outside of your comfort zone, great things are likely in store on the other side of this shift.
Secrets can't stay secret forever! Brace yourself for the reveal of information that changes how you feel about something you've been keeping quiet. Regardless of whose secret this is, brand-new context can alter how you choose to handle what you've been keeping inside. You may now feel free to share, such as if the information has been made public knowledge, or you might simply be gaining another perspective on facts that you already know. Just don't let gossip get you in trouble!
A past issue may be revisited without warning -- even if you were convinced that it had been fully buried. Someone else might still be upset about what happened, and they're likely still hoping for better closure. It could be that you're the one seeking finality, but either way, someone will need to be honest about why they're not answering questions. An unmentioned elephant in the room might be blocking the path to healing -- once this is overcome, you can find each other again.
A single conversation with someone may change your mindset. You may have thought that you had a clear-cut plan for success, but hearing someone else's story might give you pause. In particular, if they worked in a career or lived a lifestyle that you desire, listening to the advice they want to share is crucial. Of course, your journey is your own, but it might be worth it to hear how to avoid potential pitfalls in the future. Learn from their mistakes and triumphs.
Old passions can be reignited. There might be a hobby or a creative talent of yours that you did not pursue seriously, and you might have thought that you no longer had an interest for it. However, you may notice an internal shift leading you to go back to this interest of yours, giving it the space to meet you in the current era of your life. Be open to what this could mean for you. In the meantime, just have fun expressing yourself!
