You may feel more susceptible than usual to the force and intensity of your emotions today. However, seeking guidance in your unadulterated joys, fears, and other strong feelings can lead you to avoid situations that could prove enlightening as well as immerse yourself in unhealthy situations. You can avoid each of the scenarios by making an effort to examine your responses to the circumstances unfolding around you from a rational point of view. Maintaining your sensitivity without allowing yourself to be swept away by your feelings can be as easy as analyzing your intuition and instincts logically before choosing how you will respond to the message they convey to you today.

The feelings that emerge spontaneously within our hearts and minds can provide us with a unique perspective on the world around us, but we must temper our emotional responses with a healthy dose of realism. This enables us to judge the validity of our initial impressions. Feelings are determined by a wide variety of factors, many of which are related to our past experiences or learned patterns. Employing a rational viewpoint allows us to determine whether our emotions are a direct response to unfolding events or a consequence of something that happened long ago. Whatever the result of our investigation, we can be sure that we are moving forward with a thoughtful outlook and well-developed self-awareness. You will be far less susceptible to mood swings and other forms of emotional sensitivity today when you are thoughtful in your examination of your reactions.
