Horoscopes

Friendship brings your aspirations into view. Networking is especially encouraged today, as you're able to express yourself with the passion that is needed to get the attention of others. You're someone who has so much to give, and if you're able to find the right people to grow with, then you may see each one of you elevating at the same time as a team. It's okay to be a part of something while still being true to your soul's unique energy.

Being honest with yourself can supply you with fresh courage. You're likely not the type to run and hide when opposition comes along, but when everything is going well, you might find that you have less motivation to push ahead. Instead of defining yourself by the current you're fighting against, go with the flow and see how much farther you can get. Most importantly, find the voice to speak up for what you want. There's no need for you to suffer in silence!

Exploring your dreams in depth will open new doors. You might find that you've been focusing so hard on achieving the support to make your dreams a reality that you unknowingly lost sight of what you were dreaming of. It's time to refocus your direction in life and determine where it is you're really headed. Trying to succeed blindly might land you somewhere that you don't want to be. Regardless of your inner drive, you ought to be aware of where it's taking you.

You're changing how you see yourself. You might usually show the world a specific side of yourself that protects the more vulnerable core, leading others to see you as either overly casual or stoic. This could be due to worries about what people may say when they see your true feelings or because you feel weak showing your heart. Either way, remember that everyone has deeper emotions and feels vulnerable sometimes. Tenderness is part of being human, so try to accept it within yourself.

You're meeting people you might not normally meet. This person or group from another walk of life may meet you in an unexpected place. Listening to what they have to say is a great way to open your mind. Right now, you might not be aware of the wisdom that they've developed, and even if their advice isn't for you, simply recognizing the existence of such information is incredibly valuable. When you don't judge a book by its cover, its contents can truly enlighten you.

Getting your thoughts organized can help in many ways. There may have been less time to focus on cleaning up and putting away the clutter lately, or you might feel unprepared for a speech or performance that you have coming up. Instead of allowing this anxiety to grow as you procrastinate taking care of your responsibilities, face it head-on and fight back against any hesitancy. You'll be able to truly relax once it's no longer nagging at the back of your mind.

Sharing joy will multiply it exponentially. You might be about to meet someone (or multiple someones!) with whom you share a common interest. Maybe you'll even meet while pursuing this interest! Perhaps you're both at a concert for a mutually loved musician or attending a convention regarding a hobby you share. It'll be easier to strike up a conversation when you already like the same subject, so don't be shy. The more people who enjoy the same interest as you, the merrier!

Setting down grudges should bring a sense of relief. It may have felt as if an actual weight was on your shoulders, preventing you from moving forward. There are some doorways in life that you just can't get through when you're carrying a boulder of shame, frustration, and regret, but you could feel like setting it down would be a betrayal. Instead of dragging guilt around forever, remind yourself that the past is the past. You deserve to take lighter steps into the future.

Communication will bring new life to stagnant connections. Someone that you haven't spoken to in a long time may show up again, making their feelings known to you. This can provide much-needed closure in situations that were confusing to you in the past while supporting fresh starts with those who have made the changes necessary to welcome you back into their life. Listen to what they have to say, but don't feel like you can't share your side of the story as well.

Expressing yourself is the name of today's game! You may have been knocked off-balance in the past, made to feel as though you weren't able to rise to the same level that others are. Discouragement like that can be tough to overcome. Fortunately, a positive experience with expressing yourself could be right around the corner. You have the power to change your story! If nerves threaten to inhibit your joy, remind yourself of all the good that can come from seizing this opportunity.

You may have less of a filter today. Even if you're normally able to keep up an amazing poker face or hold in any more blunt thoughts, you might find that you don't have that same ability now. Every idea that crosses your mind has the potential to become words, so keep an extra vigilant eye on what you say. That being said, you have the ability to speak the truth and have others appreciate your boldness. Choose your statements wisely.

Dreams can currently guide you toward your future. These dreams might seem odd at first, even confusing or stressful. Take a deep breath -- they don't have to literally come true. Try to take note of any details that could be symbolic of whatever your dreams are trying to tell you about your life. You could be getting vibes off of someone that your subconscious is picking up on even though your conscious mind missed them. Pick up a dream journal and investigate.
