Astrology
Today you can overdo or overspend, but it’s because you’re having a good time! Things change during the day and you get back into detailed work. A cough or cold tells you to slow down. You may misunderstand directions and have to re-do something. Beware of the tendency toward emotional assertiveness that shows up in the form of complaints. If everything seems wrong to you, it’s time to relax. Your partner needs your attention so be alert and responsive to signals. Someone has carried a load so long it’s tempting to think “it’s his/her job” and fail to be appreciative, as though all that person does, is work. Elsewhere, love gets chatty. The right thing said to the right person makes all the difference. Margaret Cho said, “Sometimes when we are generous in small, barely detectable ways it can change someone’s life forever.”

Romance appears today, and love is in bloom. Enthusiasm, warmth and confidence permeate the environment. All creative ventures are favorable and sports or games play a special role, as do children. Your appreciation of others is all they need to be happy, so get out there and show your appreciation! Think of the role the sun plays in your life: it brings light and warmth and causes everything to grow. It’s a sunny time. Go outside! Elsewhere, details must be attended to and old matters must be handled. Go shopping or fix a huge meal. Alice Walker said, “Don’t wait around for other people to be happy for you. Any happiness you get you’ve got to make yourself.”

Green light! Today is the day to push ahead with your plan. Yes Mercury is still retrograde, and at the same time the energy is right for a well thought out undertaking. You have the confidence and magnetism to get things moving. Leaders are powerful. A strong person who appeals to everyone with warmth and optimism appears as a unifying force. Kids, love and creativity are fabulous. Surprises are favorable for you! With all the working, planning and detail watching that’s been happening, you are prepared for action. Now the missing ingredient confidence, steps into the picture. A flash of brilliance is here. Enjoy! David Grayson said, “Happiness, I have discovered, is nearly always a rebound from hard work.”

A behind the scenes conversation, one that expands on a previous talk, is helpful. You are in a better to position to explain yourself. Pay close attention to your hunches or intuitions, they are excellent! Something is being re-thought and re-worked. If you have an idea, communicate it immediately. Later in the day you’re feelings won’t be well received so act promptly. It could seem as though you suddenly lose something or someone important to you. Don’t panic; anything lost today will be regained in the next week. Misplaced energy characterizes this day. A false start, a wrong turn and going off on a tangent are par for the course. What’s good today? You are slowly and steadily bringing something into being, and it’s a winner. You’re working out the kinks and fixing the leaks. The end product will be a wonder to behold. Dan Rather said, “If all difficulties were known at the outset of a long journey, most of us would never start out at all.”

What is Non-Virtuous Speech?
The following description of the 4 types of non-virtuous speech are from “The Way To Freedom” by the Dalai Lama:
“ The next four negative actions are deeds of speech.
The firs is telling lies. This includes speaking contrary to what one has seen, heard, or knows to be fact. Lying can be motivated by attachment, hatred, or ignorance. The intention is to confuse the other person, and it can be carried out either by speaking or nodding the head and gesturing with a hand. Any action done out of the intention to confuse someone constitutes the negative action of lying. If the other person hears it, that constitutes completion of this act.
Next is divisive talk. The intention is to cause dissension between friends or people in the spiritual community for one’s own sake or for he sake of others. Whether one succeeds in causing dissension or not, the moment the other person hears the divisive talk, that constitutes the completion of this act.
Next is verbal abuse. The intention is to speak harshly, and the deed is complete when the abusive words are heard by the person to whom they are directed. Abuse includes insulting others, speaking about their faults, whether true or untrue; if one does it to hurt the other person, it is abuse.
Next is senseless gossip. It is frivolousness without any purpose, and it can be motivated by any of the three poisons. One’s intention is simply to chat without any reason, to just gossip without any purpose.The execution of this act does not require a second person. You do not need a partner; you can do this by talking to yourself. Idle gossip would include talking about wars, the faults of others, or arguing just for the sake of argument. This would also include reading unimportant books out of attachment.”
Astrology
Emotional turbulence characterizes the early day. Watch what you eat; overindulging could come back to haunt you. Something draws you into the domestic or emotional realm, just as you are gearing up to leap forward. This creates frustration. It’s an excellent day to talk things over with a friendly, sympathetic person. As soon as you express yourself you’ll be in a better position to see the big picture and your distress fades. Happiness appears later in the day, and you can’t believe your good luck. This is still a good time to avoid confronting authority, and it’s a great day to be with those you love. Relax about your big plans for the time being. Carl Sagan said, “The universe is not required to be in perfect harmony with human ambition.”

A significant purchase of something you’ve yearned for is possible. An enjoyable conversation moves things forward. Diplomacy helps you today, and at the same time too much talking moves you backwards. You can actually lose something by over-talking! A favorable communication with a respected authority or a request for help (briefly stated) is successful. Your job is to say what you need and then LISTEN. A force more powerful than you is at work, and this force will knock down any efforts at self-assertion. Something powerful is afoot. It could be a dominant person or a physical event… a storm, etc. A powerful person can fall from grace, and a nail sticking up will be hammered down. Keep a low profile; mind your own business and you’ll be fine. A Malayan proverb said, “Don’t think there are no crocodiles because the water is calm.”
