The energy today has intensified and that's going to create a lot of situations where stress can certainly come in to play. We start with a Sun-Jupiter-Neptune T-Square that can at its core be real confusing to us. On one hand, we're going to have the things we want. We might have wanted them for quite a long time. But retro-Jupiter (also influenced by retro-Saturn and Pluto) can cause this sense of apathy. Those things that burned within at the early part of the year aren't going to burn much right now. Why even get out of bed?
So your motivation to move forward right now is in many ways going to have to be manufactured. You're going to have to invent some reasons to get the things you need to done. You might not face deadlines, or you might not have someone screaming for you to get something done, but internally, you know it should. A lot of people will take the easy way out and do nothing. But they're not going to grow - if anything, they'll slip backwards. You don't have to be one of them though. So commit to making some level of progress, even if "you don't have to".
Elsewhere in the chart, we have Mars and the Node (with Mercury hot on their tails) going oppo Saturn and Pluto. This is going to have these "states" we establish in our minds for where we think we should be. Mars can say "Why aren't we here? What's taking so long?". It's easy to rationalize where we think we should be. But things still have to play out some. And with Pluto involved, you probably don't have a clue why things need to happen a certain way, but they do.
So in all, today's energy can be stressful and it can be frustrating. Some people are going to get tired of the crap they've been through of late and can change gears and try something totally new. But, if there's something really important to you, stick to the plan. Be your own police, and hold yourself to the standards you know you're capable of. It's not going to be easy, but as we like to say around here "just because something is hard doesn't mean you shouldn't do it". There's a lot of room for growth, and a lot of room for potential if you put in the effort and keep trying. Best of luck.

Sometimes relationships fizzle because people don't talk enough. This is the sort of thing that can begin to develop here, so if people are important to you, make sure you're making the effort to reach out to them. You don't have to be annoying about it, but sometimes showing a little appreciation and extending yourself goes a long way in keeping relationships on good terms. You probably shouldn't rush to declare everything you've been thinking lately though - it might be better to keep more intimate things close to the vest until you're sure others can handle them.
