This uplifting day is marked by the Sun's activation of the long-term sextile between optimistic Jupiter and electric Uranus. We are being bombarded by bolts of awareness that began on March 28 and intensify until May 21. Today's Sun-Jupiter trine opens our minds and clears the air of obstacles. We may believe that anything is possible until the Moon enters analytical Virgo at 2:40 pm EDT, asking us to look at our future much more realistically.

Although you might be tempted to focus on the details today, let them go for now. Your sheer enthusiasm should be enough to make nearly anything go right. Don't dwell on the problems, even if you go into temporary denial. Whatever is crucial will resurface soon enough and you can deal with it then. And if it's not critical, at least it won't ruin a great day.

You are easily distracted by the idea of doing something out of the ordinary, yet your uncharacteristic overconfidence may create trouble. Even if you simply want to create an opportunity for yourself, it's possible to miss an important fact. Since you currently think that the silver lining is the most significant part of the dark cloud, you may ignore a problem that could get worse. Seeking a balanced perspective is more useful than avoiding a difficult issue.

You can be pleasantly surprised as you delve into a hidden aspect of your emotions, for what you learn now could have an immediate positive impact on a significant relationship. You are likely more concerned with the big picture today, but this isn't the best time for unproductive fantasy. Put your feelings to work by making practicality your highest priority.

You may be more outgoing as jolly Jupiter harmonizes with the Sun today. It's easy to appear happy when others are encouraging you, yet you still might have a more serious undertone to what you do. Your intuitive understanding of what's happening can make you seem lucky, but anything that falls into your lap now has probably been hard-earned. Continue to aim high and don't be afraid of taking a risk.

It's time to ride the waves of fortunate energy that flow into your life. Although you can be quite passionate, remember not to overwhelm others who don't understand your fiery ways. Of course you don't want to sit around doing nothing, for you are eager to show the world what you have to offer. Sow your seeds today to reap great rewards later on.

Even if you haven't been sure about your emotions, it's OK to trust them now that the Moon has returned to Virgo. Even if you are dealing with serious issues, today may be like a pause in an unfolding drama. You have many wonderful ideas about how to add more pleasure into your life. Make decisions based upon what you want, for the potential for satisfaction is greater than usual.

If you are naturally creative, this can be a wonderful time to channel your inner artist, for your work can express your deepest feelings. But you must take the initiative to do something with your talent or knowledge. Seek meaning by connecting personal experiences with larger patterns in your life. What others see as your luck may really be a result of how well you can understand the big picture.

If you are tired of feeling stuck, relief is on the way as you begin to see solutions to your dilemma. Someone may enter your life now to present you with a fresh perspective that guides you into new realms of thinking. Don't waste any energy resisting the upcoming changes. The truths you discover can propel you out of an uncomfortable situation. The prevailing currents are heading your way, so don't be afraid to let go and flow with them.

The illuminating Sun forms a magnanimous trine with your ruling planet Jupiter today, to bring joy and temporary relief from the stresses and strains of modern living. Be careful not to forget about your commitments as you become more involved with having fun. It's a smart idea to transform your current enthusiasm into positive action. Make whatever changes you are considering, for Jupiter currently indicates material success.

You can utilize a magical synthesis of your creative vision and your earthly desires today. Although you aren't necessarily lazy, you may not want to exert the extra effort needed to accomplish your goals. Keep in mind that whatever you do now will have powerful consequences. This is an opportune time to undertake a big project or to alter your course of action. Whatever you decide, make a commitment to focus your attention on what's most important.

The Jupiter-Uranus sextile is good news for the next couple of weeks, while today's trine from boundless Jupiter to the Sun increases your understanding about the relationship between your emotional responsibilities and your spirituality. A unique perspective might lead you in a drastically different direction, but if you don't take direct action, you could waste the opportunity. Remember, this is a rewarding time, but only if you make the effort.

Socializing with a group of like-minded people can be a fantastic ride today. This is about creative growth and an opportunity to enjoy yourself. You might even be ready to do something that is totally out of the traditional box. Don't worry about what others think; part of your job now is to be unconventional in how you reclaim your life.
