“The word workaholic is so severe, but I do focus a lot on my work. I think a lot about what I’m doing in all aspects of my life, what am I trying to achieve here, am I happy with this? Music is like a mirror in front of you. You’re exposing everything, but surely that’s better than suppressing. You have to dig deep and that can be hard for anybody, no matter what profession. I feel that I need to actually push myself to the limit to feel happy with the end result.”
— Enya

If Your Birthday is May 17
(The Day of the Bottom Line) | Taurus Birthday Reading | All Other Signs
Today into tomorrow, you may feel a burst of emotional and physical energy that you can use creatively almost any way you like. At the same time, you might feel some sort of challenge to the structure of your daily life; or you might notice some tension in an area of your life you’ve taken for granted. Take the time to give these issues the attention they deserve. Listen to your body if you need another clue where to focus, and remember: finding resolution can be especially deep and beautiful when you engage your innate creativity.

Written in the Planets
What feeds and nourishes your mind? What drains your emotional reservoirs or feels like a psychic transgression? If you find these two ideas at odds today in a single situation (or within you), where is the point of movement, resolution or synthesis? Today the asteroid Ceres in Gemini squares the centaur planet Nessus in Pisces, describing this dynamic. If you need to choose between two options, remember that the ‘healthy’ choice will feel good and sustain you over the long term — as opposed to providing a short-lived rush or a compulsive hook. With the Taurus Sun nearly exact in its sextile to Chiron in Pisces, you have support in finding some resolution that is focused on genuine physical and spiritual healing.
