The desire to travel awakens within you. You may go through a positive transformation of the mind. Dealings with taxes and joint finances will have a positive outcome.

You may tell white lies. You are very sensitive and prefer loneliness. It's a good time to write in your journal, or express yourself through poetry or writing lyrics of a song.
You may not be able to concentrate well, tending to daydream all day. Get out a vision board, as it is a good time to focus on your dreams and meditate towards your goals and hopes. You may feel in an ecstatic mood, giving nothing but kindness and unconditional love towards others. Spending time at the ocean, in nature, and with animals will bring you lots of joy. It's not a good idea for business promises or decisions.
