Some folk are sensitive to the weather. If the day looks good, they feel good. Others find that their moods fluctuate depending on the attitudes of the people around them. You are more independent than most but you still have a tendency to feel happy or sad, depending on inner whims and concerns. You somehow need to learn to shield yourself from the feelings that your own fears and fantasies create. Events help you to deepen that essential ability, and thus grow more stable and more powerful.
'I see trees of green, red roses too...' So sang Louis Armstrong when he thought to himself, 'What a wonderful world.' So did we when we heard him singing it. For one moment, at least, we forgot. We forgot how much we enjoy criticising and complaining. We forgot how much there is to find fault with, disapprove of or campaign against. Is the world wonderful? Yes, if you want to see it that way. And it's terrible too, if you want to start looking at all that's wrong. Pick the right perspective now and your heart will fill with joy!
One step at a time. That's how you are going to get from where you are now to where you want to be. Will you complete the journey this month? Of course not. This is a long expedition and you have really only just embarked upon it. But you will definitely soon have reason to feel as if you have started an important process. Be encouraged by all that looks hopeful and avoid feeling daunted by all that seems disappointing. In the fullness of time, you won't even remember the issue that is now worrying you.
Some people are not always very civil or polite. Others are too nice. Almost suspiciously so. Some people are remote. Others empathise more than they possibly should. It is never easy to strike a perfect balance. Even if one aspect of someone's character seems wonderful, you may find some other side to their personality irritates you. We have to be careful about making big, lifetime decisions on the basis of passing, intense reactions. Apply some patience to a choice you're now leaning towards
