Audacious and Bold
Sagittarius Daily Horoscope
A feeling of audaciousness may have you stretching boundaries and taking risks today. It could be a good day to act on things you’ve been putting off, because you can harness the courage available to you today. Such boldness may serve you well, especially when you are acting on inspiration that has been run through the filters of your heart and mind. There is no need to be reckless, but you may want to reexamine your reasons for not doing something you had previously decided to put off. If you can determine that it was merely emotional fear rather than rational fear for your safety or wellbeing, it might be worth it to make a leap of faith and take a risk today.
Taking small risks in life teaches us when to take big ones by helping us fine-tune our intuition. When we weigh the rewards and consequences of emotional risks such as asking someone out on a date, asking for a raise, or daring to share a piece of artwork, we can see that the benefits usually outweigh the negatives. There are times when our sense of fear is guiding us correctly, however, and we can only learn to understand our inner compass by using it regularly in safe situations and paying attention to the results. As we stretch boundaries today, we are learning to be less concerned about the opinions of others and take the risks that will allow us to more fully become the people we are meant to be.

Taking a Day Trip
Short Getaways
by Madisyn Taylor
We don't need an expensive vacation to feel we had time off as your local park or beach can offer a blissful refuge.
We tend to think of a vacation as something that requires an enormous amount of preparation, but small daylong excursions can be just as refreshing and fulfilling as their lengthier counterparts. A short drive can be the channel that transports you into a world of novel experiences and blissful relaxation. Solo day trips can be a wonderful way to unwind from the stresses of routine existence while simultaneously feeding the soul. And when you choose to share your day trip with someone you care about, a leisurely drive becomes a chance to talk about childhood, recall favorite songs, or simply spend time enjoying one another's presence.
You may be surprised to see how many day-trip possibilities exist within a mere hour's time from your home. Forests, beaches, lakes, mountains, rivers, and deserts can serve as the perfect spot for a mini vacation. The physical and mental rejuvenation you experience in an unfamiliar and engaging setting are enhanced by meditation, journaling, deep breathing, or just being still with nature. Though the cost of gasoline can make taking a day trip seem frivolous, and our commitment to environmental well-being may cause us to hesitate before utilizing our cars in this manner, there are numerous ways we can effectively offset our carbon signature while still seeing to the needs of ourselves on a soul level.
Since day trips tend to require much smaller investments of time and money than traditional outings, you can enjoy a diverse range of experiences day by day. On one weekend, you may be motivated by a need to connect with your natural heritage to explore a vast state park or nature preserve. On another, your curiosity can inspire you to visit a historical site that has long piqued your interest. In the end, where you go will often be less important than your willingness to broaden your horizons by removing yourself from the environment already so familiar to you. Each mini getaway you take will imbue your existence with a sensation of renewal that prepares you for whatever lies ahead.
