We still have the effects of the Grand Cross working today, though Venus is about to move along in the next few days. Over time you get acclimated to energy like this. It's still likely you're going to have your share of challenges and frustrations to deal with, especially when it seems like what you're doing conflicts with what you'd rather be doing, but overall, by this point, you should at least know what types of things you're up against.

As the week moves along, you'll see some lessening of the intensity today's chart brings, so you have that to look forward to. It's not all sunshine and roses, but it's at least going to be a little easier to manage things. For today though, you're going to want to focus on the basics of your situations. What can you do to improve things around you? What do you need to double check is in good order before turning to something else? What are you getting upset about that if you really think about it, isn't something worth getting upset about?

These are the situations that build us and make us stronger for the coming days. At times I feel like people upsell "experience", but these are situations that help us build it in a clear and useful manner. The stress and often emotional attachments that can occur with this transit sort of sear these experiences into our mind. It'll be hard to forget things presently happening around us. We should be able to learn from them and capitalize on them.

So while the present might seem a little rougher, and you might look around you and see certain elements of things being a bit of a struggle, just know that this is a chance for you to show others, and yourself, what you're capable of. Just take things one step at a time and try to make progress. Best of luck.

A lot of invention and development happens simply because people look at what's out there and decide what's not doing the job. Your first issue is you can be quick to buy into things. Others might give you an explanation, and you can be very quick to accept it. Really, you should be more critical of everything you hear. Just because others say something is fine doesn't mean you can't be the one who looks at it with some focus and conclude that it can be done better. This takes a lot of effort, and often involves challenging accepted convention, but you can be a trailblazer if you see things in the right light.
