You may find that there are challenges between home and the workplace today. People will seem to be slow, lethargic, or distracted. You may find that while you are at work, your mind drifts back home, and when you are at home, it drifts back to the workplace.

The Fool Reversed Caution and a loss of faith in oneself. Fear of the new and unknown. A new journey that is mired in hesitancy and worry of others' opinions. Over thinking and concern. The possibility that a new project is not properly planned out and needs reorganization and new direction. An excuse that stops you in your tracks. A warning to take a step back, let time pass and look at things again with new eyes. A veritable time-out. The Five of Chalices card suggests that my power today lies ina crossroads. I am not alone. I intend to let go of despair or nostalgia and I choose to make peace with loss or express mourning in order to move forward. I release the rut of regret and the fear of tomorrow to make way for forgiveness, pleasure, beauty, and hope. I am empowered by my conscience and my gift is forgiveness. You could be challenged to justify your values, finances, and perhaps even your choice of career, but it is not the day for you to undergo a revision of your life goals. Find a hobby or a good book to relax with instead of spending too much time focused on your work life. You can live marvelous moments, but your lack of objectivity concerning your near ones may lead to cruel disappointments. Your sensitive soul would like to do pleasure to everyone; but, of course, you'll be unable to keep all your promises. Marital love will be rather bad; the stars won't support you, and you'll very badly bear couple life. Try to remain cool-headed and avoid making an irrevocable decision, the one which you'll surely regret when the evil will have been done or the step taken. This is a time for rediscovering the value of others. Real breakthroughs can happen for you right now. A willingness to try new approaches to tackling problems will pay big dividends. Professionally, a financial or honorary reward will float in the air; consequently, increase your efforts. This will be the moment to make decisions, to show your authority, your competence. Physically, you'll be well on the whole; excellent nervous resistance, superb tonicity; profit by this situation to resume your favorite sport and rebuild your musculature. You'll have better morale than lately. Even if you've concerns, you'll react positively by remaining aloof and by dramatizing nothing. Chasing after a fantasy may give you cause to complain, as getting whom you want at the desired where and when just leads to one complication after another. You may have to settle for second best or some sort of compromise, unless you're willing to wait and do without and see if it all comes together later.
