“Optimism needs a reality check”
✦ TL;DR
A genuinely good day is on offer, but the urge to burn things down could cost you.
There is real momentum here. Your memory is sharp, professional contacts respond well, and you may cross paths with people who move in completely different worlds from your own — worth paying attention to, because they could open things up for you. The general mood is buoyant, and that is not nothing.
The watch-out is significant, though. Pluto stationing direct has a way of stirring restlessness, and today you might feel a sudden, fierce pull toward freedom that makes every commitment look like a cage. Before you say or do something irreversible, ask yourself whether the problem is the tie — or just the mood.
