Stop worrying about ‘not going wild’. You’ve been aching to bust out of your shell for a long time, and suddenly it’s the obvious thing to do. You would not be acting out. Rather, in order to access the truth of the deeper discoveries that you’re making about yourself, you must actually experiment with some of what you’re thinking and feeling. As you stretch out to your true personality, you’ll find that growth and healing can only come through actual experiences. It’s time to change, to grow and to find out who you are without planning the outcome.

If Your Birthday is April 8
(The Day of Conscience) | Aries Birthday Reading | All Other Signs
You should have extra power to jettison what is not working for you today. You might even notice an inclination to fix anything mechanical that is acting up or breaking down; go for it. It’s also possible that someone in authority might call you to be accountable for your actions. While this can be uncomfortable, if you’ve done your due diligence, you’ll likely feel satisfied by how well you meet the challenge. If you falter, take heart: life is a series of learning opportunities. Learning to be accountable is a major ‘adulting’ win.
Written in the Planets
Today looks like an excellent day for self-reflection and introspection. This might be especially true if you find yourself wondering about your intimate relationships: Do they serve a higher purpose? Are they conducive to your healing agenda? Is there some symbiosis or balance between what is offered and received with a partner? Venus (which is retrograde and is nearly conjunct Chiron in Pisces) is square Saturn (which is also retrograde, and conjunct the Galactic Core in Sagittarius). That both planets are retrograde emphasizes the internal quality of this energy, rather than a need to take external action. That said, it’s worth remembering that loving and sharing are keys to attracting joyful abundance — and you have plenty to offer.
