Courting Relaxation
Scorpio Daily Horoscope

An unsettled mind-set can descend upon you without warning today, leaving you unable to concentrate and incapable of relaxation. Though you may want nothing more than to spend a quiet day at home engaging in tranquil activities, your tendency to fidget and your preoccupation with distressing thoughts can prevent you from realizing this goal. To cure the anxiety interfering with your enjoyment of your free time, you will likely need to reflect upon the roots of your nervousness. You may discover today that concerns wholly unrelated to your current circumstances are making you feel disconcerted and that you can happily banish these at will.

Copious nervous energy that resists all attempts to dispel it through general means is most often a sign that there is some issue in our lives that needs to be addressed before we can give ourselves over to truly immersive relaxation. Emotional baggage is a remnant of some part of our consciousness that once served a real purpose in our lives and can challenge our perceptions of the world around us, causing us to feel uncertain about what the future may bring and thus unsure of ourselves. Letting go of these less-than-useful aspects of the self frees us to devote our time and energy to those elements of our development that help us feel almost continually secure and optimistic. The discomfort you feel while attempting to unwind today will dissipate as you identify and then do away with the source of the underlying unease.
