Imagine you’ve climbed a mountain (or at least a big hill) and are standing at the summit; you can see, clearly, vast swaths of land in all directions. Your concept of the size of the accessible world has changed; with so much of it under your gaze, you might well feel better able to travel farther. This is what you’re aiming for conceptually. If you feel somewhat hemmed in, that’s a sign you may benefit from a broader perspective, which encompasses the whole spectrum of possibilities.

Where are the lines between doing what you know you can do, pushing your usual limits in order reach a new goal, and simply taking on way too much? Today’s square between the Virgo Sun and Jupiter in Sagittarius describes some invigorating energy that could be used to move some part of your life ahead — if you can be disciplined about it. But it can also indicate going overboard and then falling short of your aim as a result. Neptune in the pattern suggests it could be a little harder to discern where those lines mentioned in the first sentence are located.

Here is one possible way for you to find the sweet spot of using this energy and tension usefully: think of some of your more productive and empowering habits; these are likely to prove even more beneficial if you focus on exercising them to a greater degree. Now think of some of your more self-sabotaging or frustrating habits; these could get exacerbated the more energy you give them (consciously or unconsciously). Of course, the trick may come in being honest with yourself about which tendencies truly help and which hinder. As the old cliché goes, live and learn.
