Emotions come and go, and you can practice greater self-compassion when you embrace how you feel instead of avoiding your softer side.
You may be able to identify what is disrupting your emotional flow. When we live life on autopilot, we may not consciously realize what is draining our energy.

Perhaps you could think about how setting healthy boundaries can improve your self-esteem.

Today, your emotions may have an undercurrent of intensity that can bring you closer to your deepest yearnings. Spend some time today figuring out the details of your wildest visions when it comes to your legacy.

It’s the perfect time to connect to your nurturing side. Ask yourself, ‘In what ways does my inner child need to be reparented to feel more whole, seen and loved?’ This is a good time to learn the stories behind your emotions and discover the fullness of your emotional spectrum. Additionally, you might feel like indulging in different activities that remind you of the beauty of the world. Take a trip to a museum or an art exhibition.
Your emotions may have a heightened sense of awareness regarding your family and how you were parented, helping you come to new realizations about yourself and the world.

Today, you may feel more emotionally reactive than usual, as though there are many changes in flux in your work environment.

If you’ve recently been kissed by Cupid or you’re experimenting in the dating arena, today, you are more likely to listen to the sentiments behind the words spoken by your new crushes or beau.
