As we come down off the high of yesterday’s full moon, we may find ourselves feeling exhausted, cranky, or a combination of both. Sequestering ourselves away from the world or keeping a low profile could offer some reprieve. For those of us who aren’t able to rest and retreat for the day, setting and exercising healthy boundaries can help us to keep our stress levels low. Finding helpful outlets like art, fitness, or a spiritual practice to manage difficult emotions can also be useful for riding out the stormy cosmic weather.

FOR TODAY’S BIRTHDAY
You strive to live your life as freely as possible. You don’t like limits or restrictions. Your undiluted enthusiasm for all things exciting, innovative, and bold means that you’re unafraid to take risks or try something that hasn’t been done before. However, you may need to be mindful of your tendency to move or want things too quickly. Practicing patience will help you avoid major blunders and unnecessary stress. This year, being more selective about what you’re expending your energy on will enable you to get where you want to be without the risk of burning out.
