CONTROL SPEED OF LIFE

 There's no need to drive at full speed regardless  of how much engine power you have at your disposal. Even if the road is clear, you should set the cruise control to a nice, safe speed. When you see a reason to slow down, do so. When you get an invitation to speed up, reject it. There's no point, no need, no advantage. You don't now have to fight, struggle, learn some hard lesson or go wild in any way. To stay on the road to emotional comfort, just stick with what you have started and keep going where you're headed. That is a clear indication of your potential to manifest great power and influence. You can make people sit up and take notice. You can encourage them to see things from your point of view and you can rightly consider yourself safe from any apparent threats to your emotional or material well-being. Strength will come easily to you but you may have to strive for some sensitivity.     
 As you feel unsure about whether you are winning or losing. You are facing changes that you never really expected to have to deal with. These are causing you to re-evaluate your relationships with various people and situations. Old aspirations no longer appeal to you as they once did, yet you are nervous about giving wholehearted commitment to new plans and possibilities. It may take you some while to adjust to changing circumstances but you will be feeling happier and more secure. Sometimes, when you hear a recording of your voice, you realise that you do not come across quite as you think. Now imagine watching a video of recent events. Where would you least like to press 'pause'? What is the one event that you would feel disinclined to subject to serious scrutiny? Let's take a close look at this! It is never comfortable to be self-conscious. Sometimes, though, it is profitable to acknowledge, then alter, an old habit. Life now brings you that potentially most rewarding opportunity.
Towards  the need to let something go completely and embrace a significant change, a chance to renegotiate a vital aspect of an arrangement, adjusting the one thing that has proven hardest - and creating a future in which a commitment is easier and more rewarding to keep up. Even if it seems now as if you face a problem, you will soon see the big opportunity that is hidden within it. They say, 'If you seek success, it often comes down not to what you know but who you know.' There is an element of truth in this at all times - but this month, it is very much the case. You are better connected than you realise. If you wish to change a situation, you really just need to have a delicate word in the right ear. Make sure that the word is delicate and that you have carefully thought through your requests before you make them.
 The question is not, 'Can you get what you want?'; but, 'Are you sure that you want it?  Do we always do what we think is right? Kind of. Sometimes, we do what we suspect is wrong, but we tell ourselves that there is something right about it. Or we knowingly do the wrong thing, but we tell ourselves that we are right to do it. Or, worse still, we remind ourselves that, in the past, we have been wrong about what is right. Perhaps then, we argue, we are not right about what is wrong! Clever arguments can modify an issue in your emotional life now. But your instincts will not change. Trust them.  
 Ready, aim... wait for it... In fact, really, wait. Put down the crossbow. Or the blow-pipe. Or the catapult. Stand back. Look around. Are you happy that you've really picked the best possible target? Are you sure that you need to do anything at all? Is there not a chance that if you do and say the right thing, you can make whatever you're trying to catch come straight to you? In everything your heart now seeks to find or conquer, there are reasons to expect direct hits and perfect connections. Just try to be calm and clear. Think back to the way you were feeling at the start of the year. How hemmed in and held back did you seem to be? How much fear and frustration was colouring your view of the world? You have to admit that things are looking a lot better now.
 It is not just your own view that will alter for the better, Someone else will form a more encouraging opinion, but of your concern about a choice that you made some months ago. Was it wise or foolish? You fear the latter. Here comes much-needed reassurance that you have already chosen the best possible path. Lately your emotional life has taken so many dramatic twists and turns. It is as if you have become obliged to re-invent yourself. Now things are settling, but you are not sure you like the look of the resting place. It is as if you have been on a stressful fairground ride, praying for it to be over soon. The motion has stopped and that's a relief but when you open your eyes, you realise you are dangling precariously in space. Actually, though, that's a false impression. True safety awaits you now, as coming events will sweetly prove. 
We don't always realise just what a powerful effect some situations are having on us. We do our best to shrug off intense experiences and carry on. Only some while later, do we see how they have subtly (or not so subtly) affected us,brings you the chance to look at a habit you have fallen into or a problem that you seemingly can't escape, and to think again about what really lies behind all this. One joyous moment of revelation will bring enough enlightenment and inspiration to start dramatically improving your future outlook.   Do you wish you were luckier with regard to affairs of the heart? Remember that luck does not necessarily translate into the power to win lotteries. That's more down to random chance than good fortune. If you want to harness the power of positivity, don't gamble with crazy odds. Pursue more credible, intelligent aims. Reach for possibilities that are just about within reach, then do your bit by stretching for them. In your emotional life that's easier than in the material world. 
But in both realms now, there are real chances. There is a seemingly easy way to sort out your current source of emotional stress. All you need is one specific resource. The only trouble is, it is not a resource that you seem to have access to. So, you feel frustrated. You can see no further than your need - and your desire to meet it by hook or by crook. You really must, though, see further than that. There's another, less obvious way to get round your problem. It calls for more effort and ingenuity but it offers one great advantage. It is a lot more feasible. When you wake up in the morning and look out of your window, what do you see and how do you feel about it? Events are inviting you to reconsider some key aspects of your domestic situation. If it isn't time to think about moving, it is time to think about strengthening your sense of connection and commitment to an existing arrangement.
One way or another, your chance to swap a nagging sense of insecurity for a lasting awareness that you are fully safe and at home with your surroundings. You keep hoping that something will happen, something in particular, something special. You can see that it's possible but you also see that to some extent it doesn't matter how much effort you make, you are going to need a degree of good fortune. What if you don't get it? Then how will you feel? Do all that you can to make it easy for luck to help you. Try as hard to be as wise as you can. 
Then don't worry. However things turn out, you will eventually benefit greatly from the story that unfolds now.  Want some advice? Actually, I bet you don't. I bet you have had it up to here with well-intentioned individuals steering you this way and that. You can't, though, be entirely sick of suggestions or you wouldn't be seeking mine. So here is my advice. Don't listen to any advice. Not mine, not anyone else's. Indeed, while we are on the topic, don't feel obliged to come up with answers or replace all doubt with certainty. Sometimes, a quandary is a healthy thing to be in And your emotional doubts will soon clear themselves up You can't just do what you want, when you want, wherever you want to. Well, you can, but you may encounter regrettable consequences. Now, you are probably thinking, 'Why tell me this? It's not as if I don't already know.' In one key area of life, though, you have been able to take liberties and run things your way and it is here, for the next little while, that you must adapt. It is time for a radical rethink, followed by an inspiring new way forward.
 A powerful awakening in your head may be about to change your life. You can't just do what you want, when you want, wherever you want to. Well, you can, but you may encounter regrettable consequences. Now, you are probably thinking, 'Why tell me this? It's not as if I don't already know.' In one key area of life, though, you have been able to take liberties and run things your way and it is here, for the next little while, that you must adapt. It is time for a radical rethink, followed by an inspiring new way forward.  The world is full of people who keep having new ideas. 'Why don't we do this?' Why don't we try that?' Yet, the world is also full of people who resist innovation. 'That will never work.' 'We don't want that happening round here.' That's why most changes are hard to achieve. What should you do , Struggle to introduce the new in the face of resistance? Or surrender to the naysayers? Your vision is so bright that you simply must pursue it and, though it won't be easy, you will slowly start to succeed.
Why does life sometimes seem unfair? Why do bad things happen to good people and vice versa? You and I are not really qualified to say what is ultimately good or bad. Nor should we pass judgement on other individuals. Success depends on you rising above old entrenched ways of looking at the world. Be positive, even about what seems negative. Where faith is being challenged, find yet more faith. Despite your fears, you are travelling down a road that can only lead to a more peaceful and prosperous tomorrow.
