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.

There's an individualistic theme to your chart, and it's probably not going anywhere soon. Today though, you need to be sure you're putting your best face forward, because if you are trying to get others to believe in you as an individual, they will need some form of assurances. You don't have to go with the flow, or conform to what others are doing, but there will be some times where it is indeed the smart thing to do, and in those times, you should do it. Being contrarian just for the sake of it won't be very endearing to others if it gets you into dumb spots.
