Mantain trust in your connection with your highest spiritual principle, and your self-knowledge and ability to grow. You currently possess remarkably clear insights, and actively keeping them in view should help to bolster your confidence. Recognize the many gifts you have, which have already been demonstrated. You can do what’s needed in practical terms; don’t get bogged down in the mundane, but instead allow your mind to keep soaring skyward.

You may find that your thoughts today offer some traction regarding current emotional needs in a relationship, and how they relate to past emotional or sexual boundary transgressions (Mercury is in aspect to Juno and Nessus). That may sound like a lot, but think about it: most of what we feel we need (and most of what we react to, positively or negatively) in close partnerships has its roots in issues from long ago — even from past generations.

It might be tempting to camp out in a familiar line of thinking on the subject; it’s easy to get possessive about the seeming badge of honor conferred by pain. But if you can get grounded in the more tangible realities of the present moment, you might find it easier to make use of any surprising insights that have some to you recently. In other words: listen to your senses, feel your body, notice the abundance of resources in your life. You likely have more security than you realize, though it’s actually springing from within you. The Moon enters Virgo at 11:22 am EDT — offering just the right mood for some serious re-organizing before diving into the workweek fray.

Monitor your fear level closely. It’s still a potentially serious distraction. Remember that there are two ways to approach any possibly fearful situation: you can ruminate over the past, or you can focus on solutions. The past might provide some helpful information; but that’s about all you need, and working with that information is not about dwelling on history, or fear. When I was in therapy school, I learned something helpful: Let the fear speak first. Rather than suppress it, or get sucked into it, listen to what your fear is saying. If you decide that it’s something valid, then translate that into a plan of action. You are being called to leadership, and the first and most important variety is self-leadership. Guide yourself forward. Take steps in the direction you’re trying to go — at least one per day, and then go for two per day, until you’re up to one per hour.

In the background today is some great energy for working steadily for what you want, thanks to a Sun-Saturn trine. That might apply to what you hope to accomplish just this day, or regarding a longer-term project. At the same time, we have an interesting first quarter Moon (Leo Moon square the Taurus Sun): the asteroids Arachne and Minerva are closely conjunct the Sun. Minerva is the Roman version of Athena, who was closely connected to Arachne in myth (Google it). One possible reading of this combination is that awareness of your inherent talent, power and wisdom will help to get things done, as long as you also demonstrate some genuine humility in whatever you do today.

There’s always something left to learn, after all — and pride can easily trip up even the most gifted person. It’s not as complex as it seems, and this approach could in fact help keep a situation from getting a little thorny. An opposition between Mars in Gemini and the Galactic Core in Sagittarius seems to be asking what your options are in the face of some kind of spiritual truth — or someone who appears to represent such. Are you caught in moral ambivalence, or is there a clear path forward? How do your desires relate to ‘the highest good for all concerned’?

Rise to the occasion, whatever it is. If the occasion is get your life together, then work at it every day. If the occasion is an important relationship, than do it with awareness and compassion, and most of all, with focus. If the occasion is your creative life, then make it work. Saturn is upon you, and this means you have no choice but to make your choices based on what’s best for you.

Embrace the rich potential within yourself, and be unapologetic about expressing it in the world. You are unique, and those who love you best treasure your many good qualities; yet you should ideally be known to a wider circle. The flame that burns deep within your soul brings the gift of light and warmth and love wherever its presence is felt. Let that passion spur you on to new heights throughout the year and beyond, and you’ll inspire others.

You can expect the air at work today to feel extra social, and that vibe is likely to strengthen later tonight when you’re not restricted by workplace necessities. The Moon enters Leo this morning, making squares to Uranus and Mercury in Taurus later in the day and evening. By all means, heed the call for a little excitement and the need to express your wilder, more rebellious or amusingly dramatic side — just be sure you’re not being contrarian for its own sake. Blunt stubbornness has never been the life of any party, but a little spontaneity sure can be.

Note also that Venus is conjunct the dwarf planet Eris in Aries. On one level, this offers the potential to feel, and be compassionate toward, some of the less desirable, barely acknowledged facets of your sense of identity. This is not easy. Particularly in the era of social media, we’re all on an unspoken mission to promote only the most ‘interesting’, amusing or brag-worthy parts of our lives.

But an essential part of being human is to be gorgeously, perfectly flawed — without letting that be your only label, and without using it to manipulate others’ responses to you. Being direct about what you need and who you are could be intense for some people, but anyone close to you who supports your growth will likely be able to get over it. Let them meet as much of you as you can dare to show.

The mystic Ram Dass congratulates people who get fired from their jobs and expresses condolences if they get promoted. We often tend to get trapped in our aspirations. Surprisingly, many people are discovering they can handle freedom and lack of structure. At the moment, you’re making up your story as you go along. Now, just ditch your painting by numbers set and your ‘satnav’ route-finder, and you may discover you’re a real artist on a true journey. As every day brings new adventure, remember that life is not knowing what happens next.

Consider the difference between an inner fire that drives the accomplishment of something lasting, and an impulse that burns itself out. The flame kindled in the depths of your inner being could be channeled in either direction, and you are in charge of the fuel and the housing. Choose a timeframe for meeting your goals that is achievable and that allows you to sustain your pace; and check in with your wellbeing.

Today and tomorrow, Venus in Aries moves into contact with a few important planets. First among them: the square between Pluto in Capricorn and Eris in Aries. Venus-Pluto aspects tend to reflect intense emotional and/or sexual experiences. This may be especially true regarding changes in a relationship that need to be acknowledged and accommodated so the relationship can keep growing.

Eris in the mix is a red flag to stay aware of how noticing, processing and expressing these changes can feel a little destabilizing. After all, even though relationship dynamics shift because of individual changes that are already happening to the people involved, it can feel like a threat to one’s identity when a partnership is compelled to evolve. If that feels scary to you, it’s key to see it for what it is, and own your reactions; engaging in manipulative or attention-seeking behavior in an effort to hang on to what has been is only going to cause difficulty.

In fact, even if you simply run into someone new that you’re hot for, it would be wise to stay super-aware of when you might be tempted to seek their attention via particularly subversive or ‘sneaky’ methods. Thankfully you have some support, described by Venus making a trine today to Jupiter in Sagittarius. This speaks of fun, easy, lively social interactions. It’s an aspect that’s not known for a great deal of serious follow-through, however. That could help take the edge off any insecurity-based actions and reactions. If contentment sneaks in where you truly need to address bigger issues, just know you’ll have to face them sooner or later. So why not try it now while Jupiter has your back?

Over the weekend occurred three astrological shifts all traceable back to Aries: the Equinox, the New Moon in your sign, and Mars changing signs to Gemini. Might as well mention that as of last week Mercury is warming up to a retrograde in Aries beginning early next month. Now for the reason computerized chart analysis doesn’t make the grade: what does this all add up to? Many factors point you forward; Mercury puts you on notice of review. I would say that as you stand at this rather potent new beginning, learn from your previous mistakes. Also beginnings of cycles always present unexpected challenges, but Mercury retrograde warns not to try to solve something that may be working just fine.
