“You are not controlling the storm, and you are not lost in it. You are the storm.”

Sam Harris, Free Will

Risk-taking and defiance seem to emerge in some way today, although the overriding concern is still centered on a positive reception. We have an independent sense of fairness bubbling up internally that we feel the need to address in some way, but attempts make a stand of some kind are not likely to really break through, change minds, or give us any lasting satisfaction. General discontent is underlying most of today’s activity, but we just don’t seem to have enough coverage to go out on a limb, complain about our dissatisfaction, or make a move to effect changes. Even so, a cautious approach that lays some important groundwork can still have us put this day in the plus column.

Today, the moon is moving through Aries and approaching a trine with the sun in Sagittarius this evening, and there’s a sense of facing a wide-open road ahead.

Aries is a cardinal fire sign. It initiates, ignites, and gets things moving. Sagittarius is a mutable fire sign. It represents the fire of knowledge or absolute truth. There’s passionate energy flowing now. We’re on the move, focused, and getting things done at best. Follow your passion and keep your eyes on the target. Tonight, the moon squares Venus, so the mood is indulgent and perhaps slightly extravagant. Indulge responsibly.
