There isn't a script or a grand master plan that we simply have to consult and then adhere to. Even if, as Shakespeare said, 'All the world's a stage,' it is simply providing the setting for a spectacular group improv performance. Nobody has the definitive version. It is just that some people are better at acting as if they do. How then, are you supposed to 'get it right' this time? By summoning as much confidence as you can from the bottom of your heart, regardless of how justified (or otherwise) you suspect that this is. Can you be brave and brilliant? Or must you be cautious and constrained? If you take a risk, you will have to face the consequences. That's fine if it pays off, but what if it doesn't? Then again, there is a big risk attached to sticking with what seems like the most safe and sensible option. There are times when we all have to put ourselves out on a limb. You don't have to be reckless this week, but you do have to recognise the possibility that nothing will change for the better unless some real courage is shown. you may be able to have what you want. There are lots of things that you want or at least, that you wouldn't mind having. But there is only one thing that you want so very badly you can hardly even bring yourself to think about it. That desire is too intense. It makes you feel too vulnerable, too sensitive, too unsure about whether or not you can even trust yourself. Could that be what this imminent astrological event makes possible? Here's a better question: Is that truly what you want.Life is full of near misses and narrow escapes. Or is it? If they happen all the time, why don't we notice? Because we have escaped! Because as soon as we were rescued by the narrowest of margins, we began to forget all about it. We convinced ourselves that we never really were in such trouble in the first place, that too much fuss had been made about not very much and a positive outcome had been inevitable all along. How much danger are you in now? As much (or as little) as you have ever faced. So you may as well relax.
