Your actions and choices may be marked by rebelliousness today as you consciously reject the roles society wishes you to play. Since you are likely feeling the constraints of conformity, you may find yourself expressing yourself through your defiance. This can be the perfect time to practice becoming more assertive by demanding that people in your domestic and professional spheres respect your decisions and lifestyle. Though your desire to live a more independent and authentic life can require you to step out onto a challenging path, you may discover that you feel like a complete individual once you have discovered what it is you truly want. As you grow increasingly progressive in your beliefs and values today, you may also become more tolerant of other independent souls.

In expressing our independence through the choices we make, we demonstrate to the world around us that we are truly autonomous. While many features of our lives conspire to mold us into conformity, we can thwart their influence by being decisive where our needs and desires are concerned. When we consciously live our values, few people or circumstances will have the power to manipulate our decisions. Independence also affords us the freedom to explore other aspects of ourselves free from the roles society asks people to play. Others will be more apt to respect your lifestyle when they understand your outer world existence is a true-to-life reflection of your inner landscape. The self-determination you cultivate within today will allow you to live outside of the guidelines of conformity.
