 Once a bridge has been put across a river, it's easy to get to the other side. Prior to that, it's difficult. You need a boat. Or at least a raft. Or you would have to swim. Even if you are trying to build a bridge, you can expect a long drawn-out process. It is as if you are now being told all about a result that may be attainable but someone is forgetting to mention the time, effort and energy that success will require. Is this because they want this result more than you do? By all means be generous this week but be realistic too!There's a big difference between knowledge learned in books and knowledge gained from experience. Now, there's something you are starting to 'really know'. It may take time to digest the enormity of a discovery but once you reconcile yourself to the contrast between theory and practice 
'At the centre of your being you have the answer; you know who you are and you know what you want.' So said the ancient spiritual teacher Lao Tzu. At the essence of your current dilemma in life is a need to better understand yourself so you can cope more easily with a challenge and make more of an opportunity. That's really the only guidance you are looking for in this forecast. Take Lao Tzu's advice. Resolve to trust what's already within you and you can truly let your light shine.  
Despite the fact that you are right about most things, most of the time, others do not always agree. Usually, of course, this is because they are just plain wrong. Perhaps this is the case now. But perhaps not. To be safe, maybe you should consider the other side of a certain story. There may be something you have overlooked. It is possible that either someone is now being unreasonable and foolishly argumentative - or they have a point you sorely need to be aware of. An ability to listen could prove most rewarding. 
It seems you keep finding yourself with battles to fight, points to prove and agendas to carry out. All, one way or another, are based on the theme of power. Power taken, power given, power wanted, power offered. If you want to be sure of making the right choices - focus on a different kind of power entirely. Healing power. The power of kindness. The power that comes from giving up power. 
The power to let someone else win a petty battle while you focus on a far more important campaign.It's not so much that you want to pour a quart into a pint pot, more that you want to extract from the pot more than it actually contains. Can that be done? Only if the content is a concentrate. If, somehow, you can make more of it just by adding something that is easily obtained, that tall order soon shrinks. Don't shy away from a challenge. Don't hide your head in the sand and pretend that you can't see what you can see... but you don't want to look at. Recognise your responsibility and you will find a way to fulfil it.
