A peaceful atmosphere is deeply satisfying and a simply cozy house is where you want to place your attention for this day. There may be needed repairs or chores, but you will be able to handle whatever you have planned and may even get some help with some of your chores. Two or three people can make the work move along much faster-particularly with some fun music in the background. You will find that others are willing to help if they want to attend a performance later today, such as a circus or play, or see a new exhibit at the museum. Outdoor activity is rejuvenating and when enjoyed with other people, this day may become one of those lifelong memories. There are always hiking, bicycling, bird watching, canoeing, fishing, etc.
You may be able to bring the family or perhaps a group of your friends together to enjoy a play, a music performance or an art exhibit. Achievement of your own poetry or art may be possible now. Creative endeavors and accomplishments are catching and you may find that in a family or in a group of friends, there will be several to express the same sort of talent. Take some time today to teach your art, skill or attitude to those who want to learn. There are no arguments other than which restaurant to go to or which road to take and you are very pleased that your friends or family, or both, get along as well as they do. You may decide to make plans to have everyone together at the end of this month. There are lots of things for which to be thankful.
There is a tendency toward isolation today but it is not a negative activity. This is actually a good time to use all the positive energy around you and regain your energy-relaxation-good smells. Naps are not bad, just a fun way to replenish your energies, especially if this last week was a stressful one. Later this afternoon you are tuned in and turned on to most any activity, as long as it is not too busy. An afternoon drive to the country or the outskirts of town will give you the opportunity to stop at a truck farm and gather your own berries or purchase a few vegetables, etc. This may not be a time for mental stimulation but it is a great time to just enjoy and reflect upon the world. You may enjoy checking out a new health food store and enjoy the good smells.
This is a good time for problem solving. This is a vital day in which much energy and action is utilized. You could find yourself in the limelight or able to really communicate and get your ideas across to others. Young people are in need of your guidance. You are in a serious frame of mind and may find yourself dealing with matters of much concern and responsibility. This is the time to state your opinion and give examples. There is a need for a more positive attitude in the whole family setting and you can set the example. Responsibilities for the upcoming holidays can be voted on and rewards can be set as well. You and your mate may disagree occasionally, but trading opinions only strengthens the relationship-compromise. You may be caught between powerful conflicting desires today. It might be a good idea to let go of one so you can satisfy the other. Choosing between them will soon become easier. You get together with family members later today to review plans for a trip that will be coming up soon. Catching up on communications is necessary and you may decide to do more correspondence to make sure you have not forgotten anyone. New creative endeavors, including writing ideas down for a novel, will be well worth your time and effort. While you are doing this note keeping, you could go ahead and make your outline for this book. You could become published before very much time goes by. It is easy for you to find the proper motivation at this time.
This day may bring opportunities to examine your life’s path. If change is needed, now is the time to begin those changes. You could call this a time of getting down to basics and creating a plan. Look for and dispense with the things that slow you from your goals. Intense and sometimes driven, you are able to cut through to the heart of things. You are seldom interested in impressing others but can hop on whatever charity train sounds the best for your talents. Although your mind is busy planning your future path, you can be very captivating with others at this time. Footloose and fancy free, this evening you may decide to gather some friends that you have not seen in some time and
talk this evening-you have fun and stimulating conversations.
You are at your mental best with clear thoughts. This is an excellent time to make decisions and take care of mental work. You may decide that this is a good morning to balance the checkbook, work out a budget or just generally, catch up on your reading. You could be feeling inward and more like sharing some time with your lover or with close friends later this afternoon. Some kind of healing process is at work in your life: you isolate what doesn’t work, eliminate it and go forward. You teach neatness and courteous behavior to others through example and everyone seems to be your friend. Tonight, you may find yourself helping someone prepare to move or even caring for some young ones so that friends can be entertained. You are entertained. Family and security are things that rattle your chain more than ever. These are areas where you make new beginnings and bold moves. A new idea for a book, the beginning of a new job, a new hobby and perhaps there are plans to join a new religious denomination. Whatever the case, you enjoy your surroundings and express yourself with beauty and the desire to learn and grow, no matter what age you have become. If you are living with someone, you will find yourself reaching a compromise or sharing the time. Perhaps you can plan separate activities and meet in the evening to share the experiences. Too much time spent with your own project may play havoc with
someone else’s plans. You aim for harmony and beauty in your family setting.
