Horoscopes

You might be saying what everyone else is thinking. There has been some kind of elephant in the room for quite some time, making it difficult to talk with roommates or family members. You're tired of tiptoeing around what no one wants to say! While your first instinct may not be to soften the blow of your truth, speaking without compassion probably won't be accepted by your intended audience. Consider what message you're trying to get across before you deliver it.

You can bring people together with words alone. There may be an issue between two of your friends, or you could get caught in the middle of a disagreement between family members. Either way, it'll probably be emotionally taxing! Be wary of aligning yourself with one side unless there is a clear picture of one person creating tension, because that would put you at risk of being accused of favoritism and having a conflicting agenda. Do what you can to bring back peace.

The desire to create more security for yourself might be stronger than normal. It may feel like the areas of life that seemed to be steadfast foundations are starting to fall away, while situations that you thought were temporary are lingering far too long. You could feel the need to pivot in order to keep from falling through the cracks, but impulsive change invites all sorts of missteps. Do your research on where such shifts may take you before you make any final decisions.

No one can tell you who you will become. Negative feedback given to you in the past, possibly by teachers or spiritual leaders, may be on your mind today. They could have sparked inner doubt in a way that built up a mental block over time. That block might be preventing you from doing what you used to love. Even if you simply set down a hobby because of general stress, think about picking it back up. Defy expectations by remembering what makes you happy.

Hidden emotions may be coming to the surface. You might not have expected to feel the way you're feeling about a hard-to-navigate situation, but you're feeling it anyway! Unexpected emotions could be bubbling up about matters that live in the grey area. Uncertainty regarding your path through this is more than valid -- it's normal. Make an effort to trust your intuition without confusing it with your anxiety. Go with what makes you feel excited, instead of what protects you from feeling scared.

You can't finish something without starting it. Someone may be pushing you for an answer or demanding to talk out a difficult matter. Even when the topic sounds daunting, you are internally prepared for what's needed here. You're not likely to shy away from this matter, regardless of any messy emotions that you need to handle along the way. The person who's asking to work through this should be worth the effort to understand. Don't let a good thing go because it's not quite perfect.

The time to make your decisions is now. You might be more inclined to let someone else take charge in many situations, but sometimes you have to take the reins and make something happen for yourself. Deciding such things on your own can be daunting. Remember, you are the one who will have to live with your choice, so don't let the opinions of others influence you. Explain your needs clearly and firmly, and don't let someone else's agenda overshadow your dreams.

What used to seem risky is becoming a sure bet. You may be nervous to take on a milestone in your life, but you're realizing that time is going by with or without you. You're not the same inexperienced person you once were. Keep your eyes open for opportunities to grow in terms of education, travel, or career, which are exciting, even when faced with the risk of "wrong" moves. Just keep your eyes on the prize and don't look down!

What can you release? You're making decisions about the future, potentially realizing that you can't take everyone or everything with you. Some friends may not share your vision for the future and want you to stay at their level, or you could have clutter weighing you down and preventing you from enjoying your space. When you notice an obstacle to your joy or progress, pay attention. Minor irritations might be subtle hints from the universe about things that ought to change.

Someone may spill some beans to you without warning! Their feelings may involve your connection to them, or perhaps their exclamations are stemming from a different source. Whatever the source of their words, it's probable that this person is looking for a sympathetic ear rather than actionable advice. Make sure that you're not volunteering your helpful opinions when they're not asking for them. Even if you genuinely have relevant authority or experience, they might merely be looking for a shoulder to cry on.

You might feel extra motivated to give back. There's a high chance of you doing a favor for someone else, likely someone that you know. Offering such assistance should feel good, especially if this person has helped you out in the past. Maybe you're even paying them back for something specific. You might find that you have a more fortunate or positive day as a result, with chances to get matters off of your chest. Let your heart lead you where it wants to go!

Someone might see the qualities that they want for themselves in you. This can manifest in their behavior as inspiration, admiration, or even plagiarism, as they may want to skip adding their originality and just follow in your footsteps completely. This can be confusing, since you're doing what comes naturally, and they're thinking strategically. Their consumption of your style doesn't subsume your expression of it -- you might as well take it as a compliment. After all, there can only be one original!
