Mercury is direct again, but we have the Sun moving across from the Jupiter/Pluto/Saturn stellium, so this can be a bit of a tough stretch for many of us. In some cases, it's like staring at a wall you can't just get past. In others, you might be looking at changes out there in the world that you are struggling to deal with. The more you tend to contemplate on these things, the tougher it can be to make sense of them all.

At the same time, it's in moments like this where you can tend to be inspired to make the most positive developments that you can see. Sometimes people get lulled into states of comfort, and it's only when those are jarred that you realize that there's a better way to do things. Different decisions that could be made. Different directions that could be headed in. When your comfort level is rocked, it also forces you to accept some truths you might have been resistant to acknowledging before.

All in all, the next week or two might throw you into some tricky situations that you'll have to work your way around, but keep an open mind throughout the process. Listen to solutions others might be proposing and question the things you already hold firm to - that might be what's holding you back. Best of luck.

There's a creativity vs. functionality dynamic at play here, and while you might have some good ideas, you have to decide whether they're really getting you any closer to your goals. Especially as you end up in new, potentially murkier waters with new endeavors in life, this is where you might find that trying to concoct elaborate schemes that are totally outside the box might not get the job done half as well as some simplified, more well established way. Fix things when they're broken, not when they already do the job - your time is better spent elsewhere when there's already a paved pathway to success.
