Jupiter emphasized through the next few days can bring money, praise and success. But sometimes these influences can pass by almost without you noticing more than that you're just feeling good about life. If you can make the effort to push your pet project a little bit further, then you will find whatever you touch works out more easily than you expected. Don't rely on luck or take everything for granted. Over confidence will certainly not work where joint finances are concerned.
Maybe you are feeling very laid-back at home, can't be bothered to do anything very much. You are relying on a wing and a prayer to sort out all your problems. If you can exert yourself to be slightly more realistic, and you'll find that everything runs more smoothly. If you are too laid back, then someone close may take your good nature too much for granted. You will want to share and care more in the coming weeks. Togetherness will be the key to your happiness both at home and at work. But that sometimes means putting down limits.
You're feeling fairly generous towards everyday mates and you want to be around people who are feeling every bit as good as yourself. You will be morale-boosting like mad, and doing whatever it is you can to make sure other people's confidence is being lifted. Just don't go too over the score and start exaggerating or promise more than you can deliver. You know you need to get down dutifully to do as much as possible for a few weeks. But for that you need to be fitter, so review your physical lifestyle. See whether you could improve your diet, take up more exercise or get more rest.
Spending money will be all too tempting over the next few days. You are tending to assume it's easy come, easy go and not worry too much about setting budgets for yourself. If you can put a little bit of self-discipline and structure into your financial planning, you will find the good luck of Jupiter, which is across from the Sun lasts a little bit longer. Though frankly since leisure, pleasure and entertainment are high on your priority list, it may be difficult to muster up the will power.
If you think you're absolutely right about everything then you are almost certainly wrong. There are wonderfully uplifting influences around for a few days but there is a tiny danger of you becoming so filled with your own ideas and confidence that you go right over the top. Remember that domestic and family security are more important to you than anything else. Be firm with yourself about stepping back from your recent busy schedule to take stock, and to put your feet up more regularly.
There's lots of optimism in the air and you will have a really positive outlook for the next few days. But you do have to watch a slight tendency to be over confident or to whitewash your motives in one situation. Luckily you are typically cautious and rather self critical so it may not be a major problem to get the balance right. Just try not to over commit yourself since you are already busy, skipping around a packed everyday routine. There will be less time for depth or detail than you might wish. So even you could make mistakes.
Maybe you are feeling just a touch unrealistic so watch you don't sail into something thinking you can't lose. If you do keep your feet on the ground then there are definitely fair winds blowing you along. It's just a question of finding the right balance between confidence and common sense. Certainly where cash is concerned, you need to keep a tight grip on your tendency to be over optimistic. Put extra effort into getting the budget into ship shape order. There are chances to earn more now, or manage what you already have more sensibly.
Bouncing around with more enthusiasm and gusto than usual, you do feel much revived. Having been held back recently by setbacks, delays or just low energy and less motivation you will now want to be forging ahead. Don't expect 10 million off the lottery but be on the lookout for a good break or a light at the end of one tunnel. Jupiter at your mid heaven attracts success though it can also make you a touch lazy or even uppity. You expect it to happen without effort. Sadly life ain't that easy. Push and you will make progress.
In a rather retiring phase you will not feel at all pushy until the 22nd. This is your time in the year to step back, take stock, recharge your batteries and let others do the running around. But you do recognise that you need to develop your potential in some area of your life. It may be developing the money in your piggy bank or your confidence or just your horizons. So start dreaming and start planning. Just don't get ideas that are larger than common sense.
You have an inkling of more support or even financial generosity coming your way from someone close very soon. Just tread softly and don't count your chickens before they hatch. Sometimes the best way to attract luck, is not to expect it. Friends may be pushing you in one direction. But make sure you know your ground before you go with their plans. Luckily you are a cautious, practical sign by temperament, so rarely get caught up in other's enthusiasm unless it is soundly based.
If you look ahead you can begin to see how your visions in life, your aims and goals can be lived out in the future. There's an almost predictive quality to the influences so trust your hunches and be ready to move. Just don't rely totally on the advice of certain close partners. They may be well meaning but naïve and none too realistic. You have your own ambitions to consider and with the Sun high flying in your chart until the 22nd, you will want to be noticed by those in influential positions.
With dreamy Neptune and enthusiastic Jupiter as your two co-rulers, you can sometimes find yourself on wild goose chases, trying to catch a moonbeam. Try over the next few days not to be over confident, either at work or in your travel plans. You could over estimate your chances of pulling off one big idea. If your scale down your expectations, you will do better. Over indulgences may be a minor problem as well since you will be feeling like pampering yourself.
