You may be feeling disconnected from a spouse or significant other right now. If so, make time for a romantic outing and a chance to be together. Work may be a source of stress or confusion. Make plans for the future that will assist in your work. Time the night off for recreation or creative pursuits. You are effectively balancing work and home life concerns. Your emotions run high, both love and hate, but you feel self confident. Your driving force is your family now rather than the daily chores that seem to take up too much time. Avoid losing your temper. Anger would undo all the good work of the past few weeks.What feels right clashes with reason right now. What you say may be a misrepresentation of your true feelings and emotions. It takes extra effort for you to understand others, or they to understand you. Although you are in the mood to talk about personal matters, you could be communicating with an air of defensiveness.

A relationship hiccup might have you scanning the horizon for the nearest exit, but before you make a run for it, check to see if you’re the one who bolted the door shut. Have you been carrying more than your share of the emotional load? It’s no wonder you’re feeling drained. Instead of making any rash moves, use today’s recalibrating moon-Mercury square to simply press pause. Stepping back doesn’t mean giving up—it means giving yourself space to breathe, recalibrate and gain clarity. A little distance could bring fresh perspective and, even better, a renewed desire to reconnect on more balanced terms.
