While today may not be ideal for fun and leisure, it will be useful for getting chores done or completing any unfinished work. With Mercury currently in retrograde, today is largely beneficial for taking care of time-consuming tasks that we’ve been putting off. Handling money matters or taking on a project that enables us to improve our homes (or ourselves) are great options for making the most of the day. We can best enjoy the evening by making space in our schedules to rest and recharge or spend time with family.

FOR TODAY’S BIRTHDAY
You have a gentle soul and a kind heart. You’re naturally funny and charismatic. You have an affinity for anything deemed magical, spiritual or innovative. At your core, you are a creator. You’re the kind of person who colours outside the lines, refusing to be labelled, limited or confined. Playing small is not something you do. You would rather go big or go home. However, finding a healthy balance between being practical and idealistic will aid you in finishing what you start. This year, surrounding yourself with people who inspire and motivate you will also help you hit your mark.
