The Sun-Saturn square is a major obstacle to progress. But this isn’t necessarily a bad thing. Maybe the Universe is trying to shift your thinking. Is where you’re headed the right direction?

The Air Signs of Gemini, Libra and Aquarius may get the worst of this energy. You like to get things done quickly, so there’s that. But you’re also known to be a bit confused about what you want from life. This is a great time to sit down and have a good think. What’s your path and is it really the right one?

If you’re a Fire Sign – Aries, Leo, Sagittarius – tame the fiery beast and your natural exuberance and take some time for reflection. Nurture your emotional self by looking deeply and figuring out what you really want.

Those of you who are practical Taurus, Virgo or Capricorn – you like routine and change can be difficult or scary. But are your habits serving your best interests? Are you getting what you really need and want? Maybe a change is in order, so spend some time thinking about your life and how even a small adjustment can make it better.

For Water Signs – Cancer, Scorpio and Pisces – feeling discouraged is a big time waster unless it motivates you to act. Look for emotional tools you can use to overcome obstacles. This somber planetary influence asks you to take a realistic look at who you are and what you need.

On Friday, the introspection continues with the Moon-Jupiter square. Make sure to take care of your own needs before doing things for others.
