HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Monday, June 17, 2024. We can expect our emotions to be heightened today — for better or for worse. As such, we may need to take extra time and care with our decision-making so as not to let our feelings cloud our judgement. We should also aim to avoid petty bickering or drama and strive to let go of grudges and other negative emotions. Music, journaling, or talk- or art-based therapy could help soothe frazzled nerves. In addition, intuition can be a helpful ally at this time, if we’re willing to slow down long enough to tune in.
