Cultivate Constructive Interactions
Pisces Daily Horoscope

You may feel let down today which could be because your close personal relationships might not be meeting your expectations. This sense of disappointment might be the result of your having difficulty maintaining your trust in those who are near to you. While it is natural to feel disappointed at certain times in relationships, perhaps your emotions today are telling you that rather than focusing on the nature of your frustrations, it is better to bring your awareness to the ways in which you react to your loved ones. As you think about this, you might visualize yourself embracing your family members but keeping them at arm’s length, helping you to realize that even though these are people you love, they should not define who you are or how you perceive yourself. You may find this simple exercise makes it easier to feel better about your feelings.

Holding a space for our loved ones without requiring anything helps us to alleviate any negative emotions we may have. Since our family members are so close to us, their opinions often mean a lot to us. If we learn to detach with love in these relationships periodically, however, it gives us the space we need to reflect on what it is that is distressing us and to think about more positive ways to react to whatever may arise in our interactions. Finding a way to be compassionate without letting your feelings overwhelm you will allow you to cultivate much more constructive interactions with your loved ones today.
