Sun Favors the Flow

The solar conjunction to Mercury suggests that a state of flow is achievable. When you’re in a flow state, you’re not thinking about how you’re doing because you’re completely occupied with just doing it. But if you can’t quite get there, afford yourself some grace. It’s normal to be self-critical but unnecessary to be critical of your self-criticism.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You have a knack for making people feel special and appreciated, but it’s not what you’re trying to do. The fact of the matter is, you are genuinely interested in knowing more about people, and you’ll create connections as you learn.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). You’ll spread positivity and warmth, and make the world better. Some days it’s easier than others. Forethought is needed today. Send kind thoughts out before you send yourself out. This will set the tone for good interactions.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). If what you see looks stark and ugly, don’t believe it. Reality can distort. Some scenes are like the dressing room of a discount store, complete with the bad mirror and fluorescent lighting to ensure an unflattering reflection.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Feelings have a curious way of sneaking up on you or surprising you with their intensity or timbre. When this happens, it’s an opportunity to reflect and go deeper into your thought processes.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). The road to exhaustion is paved with too many words. You will maintain strong energy levels when you incorporate brevity and use very few, if any, words to relay key information. Actions really will speak louder.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Almost nothing requested of you today will be the literal equivalent of the words used to ask. You may as well think of words as wrapping paper — something to be stripped away to see what’s really being presented.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). It feels like the odds are in your favor, but the fun of life’s poker game is that you just never know what kind of hand the person across from you is holding. This is a day to hedge your bets.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Your stories are precious commodities of life that you have earned and that belong to you. Your pride in presenting them says something about you. Figuring out how to tell your stories well is an act of self-love and self-esteem.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You can believe that the world is better because of your contributions, even when they are as small as a smile. In fact, your warmth makes a bigger difference than you could ever know.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). A current situation may be intolerable and untenable, but it can be changed. Complaining won’t solve anything, but at least it helps you define the problem. Once you know what the problem is, you’re halfway there.

ARIES (March 21-April 19). Your willingness to understand and even traverse the emotional landscape of others will foster trust and give you many advantages in your endeavor to create strong relationships.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You carry yourself with elegance, leaving a lasting impression. This has to do with your personal style, though the most attractive thing you do has nothing to do with the physical; rather it’s the way you offer full attention as you listen.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (June 14). You’ll get the sort of fun challenges that make life interesting and inspire brilliant collaborations along the way. Loved ones join your adventures, though you’ll also make a name for yourself with a stand-out solo venture. More highlights: increased and life-changing self-compassion — each new morning of this year is a chance to be good to yourself. Capricorn and Aries adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 18, 32, 45, 5 and 29.
