There’s also a risk of encountering roadblocks that may be hard to get around, which might hamper any progress we’re hoping to make. The best way to harness the energy is by focusing on what’s achievable instead of what’s not.

FOR TODAY’S BIRTHDAY
You’re both logical and intuitive, and you often use these gifts to accomplish your goals and make sense of the world around you. If someone is in a jam, you rarely think twice about offering help or support. Though, learning to surrender control long enough for others to help you is important for your well-being. This year, you’re invited to slow down and step back. You’re accustomed to doing too much, so the cosmos are calling on you to give yourself a much-needed break.
