Chasing Inspiration While Staying Grounded

Having a good day today might depend on how well we work with others. Are we open to their suggestions? Do we listen well? Knowing this day needs some flexibility and conscious kindness will undoubtedly help us through it with more ease. If we slip and forget to exercise these virtues, we could find ourselves embroiled in some moody and sulky behavior. The morning and early afternoon might be considerably pleasant and joyful, but by late afternoon and evening, tensions start to take hold. Instead of running and hiding from the tension, however, we are better off being vigilant about it and discerning with what the tension is all about. There may just be something valuable hidden there for us to unpack and better understand.

This is a good day to practice how to work better with others. Maybe we could reach out to old friends, strike up a deep conversation with someone, or even ask for help with something we may have been feeling too proud to admit we need help with. The more we relate to others, engage with others, and put ourselves in situations that require such engagement, the more we understand about ourselves. If we see someone who needs help in a parking lot, at the grocery store, in the subway, or in our neighbor’s yard, we should exercise kindness by offering to be there for them. We could also lend a hand at a soup kitchen, homeless shelter, or food bank. Working with others is so rewarding on multiple levels, so whatever we can do to put ourselves out there is a good idea.

As Sun slips into drifting and dreaming Pisces, we are feeling the watery waves of emotion wash over our weary souls. This is when we learn how to ebb and flow with the tides of life. For those of us who are very methodical and structured in our daily routines and work projects, those methods and structures may not work as seamlessly as they normally do over the next month. We must learn to accept the things that come our way unannounced and unplanned. Though we can do everything possible to avoid chaos, chaos does exist and rear its face from time to time to teach us how to adapt and go with the flow.

There are deep issues that we can sort out today if we continue to engage with those who are playing a prominent role in our lives right now. It would be wonderful if we could allow ourselves to even get lost in conversations that touch our spirits and uplift our souls. These experiences are never not worthy.

There is a near grand trine today between Moon, Mars, and Saturn. This might sound like it spells harmony, but it probably won’t feel that way. These aspects are open, flowing, and reacting to the release of previous tensions, which can be disastrous if anything has been stewing inside us for too long. Furthermore, these celestial players are tough and sulky, especially in the water signs, which means they can get angry, defensive, and ultimately way too sensitive. But there is something going on beneath all the outward emotional bravado that must be recognized. What has been eating at us? What have we been avoiding talking about? There are very important boundaries and frustrations that must be discussed if we are to feel any relief and progress in our emotional journey through life. We must abide by and respect our sacred values.

Though we may not see it floating across the field or down the empty streets this morning, the fog and mist is drifting through our souls. We likely cannot see things clearly, or maybe we mistake something we held true for a long time. This can be a spacey and confusing morning, but it is also a perfect morning to practice yoga, go for a walk in the woods or across town, or just sit quietly and meditate upon our emotions and experiences.

Later in the day, we can find more inspiration to excite us and drive us toward new expansive elevations. Is there something we have been itching to dive into? Maybe the good rabbit holes are worth exploring on days like this. The afternoon and evening might get super chatty, so if we are the chatterbox, maybe we should be mindful of this. And if we have to listen to the chatterbox, we are at least prepared for it! Maybe something really fascinating is waiting for us in those conversations.

It is time to hoist our big rucksack up over our shoulders to make room for the plethora of information and inspiration likely to come our way today. The day might unfold much like life does. First, things are beautiful and uplifting and innocent. Eventually, however, after learning some critical factors about life, we find struggle and overwhelm and frustration. But finally, we learn to overcome these emotional swings and settle into what heals us, inspires us, and helps us through the trying times. So, if we prepare for some heffalumps and woozles to impose themselves upon our late morning and early afternoon, maybe we can relish the early morning and evening more pleasantly. Most importantly, Sagittarius Moons often have subtle morsels of wisdom tucked beneath their beams, so we should keep our eyes peeled and ears pricked for those.

If we discovered anything yesterday, or recently, that enthralled us and really stirred up our stew, we might have to analyze how realistic or possible it is to follow through with. Today can teach us how to be more mindful of those things that steer us in the wrong direction, unbeknownst to us in the moment. Because Sagittarius Moons often inspire us to seek things that can be too far out of reach, we may need to backtrack on any pipedreams we laid claim to yesterday. This is not to say other scaled-down versions of those dreams are not attainable, though, so as long as we carefully and diligently shape and edit our own hopes and dreams to fit our feasible realities, we will be in a good position to make healthy progress. We just have to be on the lookout for anything that seems unnecessary or too grandiose.
