It's a bright morning. Begin your day with a playful and lighthearted attitude as the moon wanders through lively Gemini. Stimulating conversations and quick decisions may spark curiosity around what needs adjusting in your life. Wait until this evening to instigate any changes or articulate your ideas. The clarifying full moon in Gemini rises with a call for honesty. When you put an end to self-sabotaging, counter-productive behavior, you'll feel more at ease.
The difficulties we encounter are frequently the result of self-sabotage, and managing them often requires wrestling with our own drives, doing our best not to give in to every impulse. This is easier said than done, of course. To lose weight and keep it off, to successfully climb out of debt, to find meaningful work, to maintain long-term, happy relationships: all demand postponing our immediate desires in the service of a longer-term goal.
My truest taste of regret happened when I was just 16. I was a junior in high school and feeling fully overwhelmed by things I had no control over. That feeling came directly from living in a family unraveling at the seams, but I was too young to understand what was happening. My emotions were packaged up tightly, so I grabbed hold of things I did understand, and what I understood more than anything else was swimming.
