We are all of us easily irritated. We may consider ourselves to be calm, measured and mellow. But sooner or later, someone or something will fill us with fury. Whenever passions run high, decisions are made without true regard to affordability or implication. You now have a chance to step back from a decision that was reached in a moment of madness. Don't let pride or false fear stand in your way. An amazingly constructive healing process can soon begin. Don't worry about what the future holds.
If there are seven billion people on this planet, and they all have something to say. Imagine trying to keep track of all those conversations. Imagine, too, trying to decide how many of them had any real meaning. We spend a lot of time speaking to each other, and almost (though not quite) as much time listening. But true communication remains rare. How much of an understanding do you have with someone now? This week's big opportunity is a chance to share something really meaningful.
The planet we live on spins like a top. It's a roundabout ride or even - bearing in mind that, as the Earth spins, it travels round the sky - a fairground 'waltzer'. A wheel within a wheel. No wonder we get dizzy sometimes. We can't 'stop the world' but we can fix the motion sickness by finding the centre of our inner-world. Deep in your heart there is a source of tranquillity and stability. Draw a breath. Put down your anxiety and your fear for a moment. Become the fulcrum rather than the rotary blade.
Why are you putting up with you-know-what? Is it truly crucial? Or have you been talked into making a move that you may long regret? These are the questions you are asking yourself now, expecting some rather sorry answers. Yet, though your concern is understandable, it is misplaced. You have not made some dreadful error. You have correctly appraised a set of confusing options. Your logic is sound, your choice is wise and your route from here to a happier future is assured. All you have to do is resolve not to worry.
Market research. That's the thing. Ask people what they want. Analyse the answers. Find the gap in the market. Then- Success on a plate. Well, not quite. You see, people don't always say what they mean. Sometimes, they say what they think you want to hear. Or they say what they think you think they think - which is not quite the same thing, but just as misleading. In love and in money now, what you need is honesty and clarity. That means using your eyes, not your ears.You are kind, you are compassionate, you are always willing to take a long diversion from your path if it will help someone you care about. These are all qualities to be proud of. You are not, though, some kind of mythological martyr or psychological superhuman. There's a point past which you should not go. And you always know when you have reached it. Instead of saying 'OK, that's enough', though, you tend to feel bad about drawing the line. Don't do that this time. Do your best and when you can do no more, do no more.
