7 Ways to Really Unplug (and Recharge) From Work This Holiday Season

‘Tis the season to log off.

An extra sassy vibe rules your daily horoscope today. The moon is in firebrand Leo all day, and life might feel particularly challenging early in the morning while most people are still asleep. You’ll need your coffee and then some, because right around breakfast time, an exhausting planetary entanglement is giving hot mess. With a long list of planets in the lunar mix as Wednesday unfolds, everything is changing from hour to hour, and it’s hard to choose what to focus on. If you’re feeling confused, scatter-brained, or just plain out of it, try stepping away from what you’re trying to accomplish. Come back only when you feel truly refreshed and ready to roll.

Aries

March 21–April 19

It might feel like you’re running in a dream today, Aries. Neptune and the sun are pushing you forward while simultaneously holding you back, and it could be hard to get your footing, let alone get a head start. Instead of trying to get somewhere, lean into what feels slow, easy, and pleasurable.

Taurus

April 20–May 20

You might intentionally isolate yourself today, Taurus. Instead of struggling to get social plans on your calendar, you might prefer to hang close to your safe, secure sanctuary. If you could make it a WFH day (even better). Whatever opportunity you can take to avoid changing out of your PJs, take it.

Gemini

May 21–June 20

You may have a lot to say (and text or post on Instagram) today, but you might find that the more opinions you share, the more out of it you feel. With Neptune in a harsh square to the sun in your relationship zone, conversations with a partner could be particularly confusing and exhausting. Keep some things to yourself, or write them in your journal, and figure out how to share them in a few days, Gemini.

Cancer

June 21–July 22

You could get utterly lost in a fantasy about being in another place early today, Cancer. Your travel zone and your work zone are caught in a challenging planetary conversation. The question is this: How hard must you work each day to get what you want? And where do you want to go next? If you’re pushing too hard, give yourself a well-deserved break.

Leo

July 23–August 22

The moon is in your stars right now, and if you want it, you can have everyone’s attention, Leo. Yet your current peak energy phase is slightly complicated by today’s cranky, confusing sun-Neptune square in the morning. Lucky for you, the moon meets up with sweet Venus later in the day, rescuing you from grouch-mode and letting you lean all the way into love.

Virgo

August 23–September 22

Relationships could be confusing this morning, Virgo, so try not to get overly irritated about the way your partner behaves. This is one of those moments when you want to gather all the facts before making assumptions and throwing accusations. With Neptune in a cranky, confusing position, it’s very easy to project your own feelings onto someone that you love.

Libra

September 23–October 22

Conversations about work or at work could be exhausting and confounding today. The little details that tend to be mundane and meaningless can take on more weight. It’s easy to miss them if you’re not paying close attention, Libra. Consider reading and re-reading texts, Slack messages, and emails before hitting send—just to make sure you cover all your bases.

Scorpio

October 23–November 21

Professional issues come up today, Scorpio, especially relating to your salary and future earnings. On one level, you can connect to a deep and abiding confidence that you’re good at what you do. But on the other hand, you may have questions about whether you’re getting paid what you deserve.

Sagittarius

November 22–December 21

There is so much cosmic fire in the air today that you may hardly know what to do with yourself. The moon is still in Leo and the sun is in your own spicy stars in a harsh angle to Neptune. This planetary setup can make you feel equally courageous and confused, Sagittarius. You may want to hold off on making big decisions for another few days.

Capricorn

December 22–January 19

You may finally be ready to face necessary changes you’ve needed to make for a long time, Capricorn, yet you might still be a bit confused about the practical steps for that next-level transformation. You probably need to talk it through with a trusted confidante first, so be patient with yourself as you find the right words.

Aquarius

January 20–February 18

The moon is in your opposite sign and relationships are on your mind, Aquarius, yet you might be distracted by a million other issues. Your social feeds and financial concerns could compete for your attention, and it may be challenging to just sit down and focus on one thing at a time. Rather than forcing it, why not let yourself aimlessly daydream for ten minutes, and then give it another try?

Pisces

February 19–March 20

Your modern planetary ruler Neptune is up to some serious shenanigans today, Pisces. On one hand, there’s a touch of extra glamour around your professional life, but on the other—it’s not clear what is real and lasting about what people are promising. You could simply choose to enjoy the vibe and not worry about the future, of course.
