The world is not as bad as it was, but we still live in a surprisingly polite society. There are all sorts of things that we are not supposed to say... or do. It is, of course, fine to be civil and well-mannered. It is another to be so intimidated by taboos - or fears of what folk will think - that we dare not say what's truly on our minds. Not that there's much chance of that with you these days. Cards are already being placed, face up, on the table. That's where they need to be. Get them all out, and someone else will do the same.Do you think you may be responsible for strife in your situation? Why might you be to blame? Have you not behaved with impeccable integrity under a set of difficult circumstances? If you've got faults and foibles, can we really say they are worse than anyone else's? The question, is not 'What have you done?' but 'What can you do?' You're about to find yourself in a fine position to right wrongs, regardless of who caused them or how they came about. Don't blame yourself or anyone else. Just get busy
Be strong, be brave and, above all else -be happy. You deserve to be... and you have every reason to be. Despite all that's wrong in your world, or all that seems to be so far beyond your control, there's a guardian angel working away, on your behalf, in the background. This sympathetic spirit is determined to ensure that everything works out well in the end. Maybe, so far, you have seen little to suggest that this is going to be the case. But in your emotional life, you have seen something. Focus on that a little more.You can't afford not to let go of a key concern. The more you hang on to it, the harder it will be to take a practical, constructive step. There is really nothing to fear. Give life a chance to surprise you. You will soon be able to alter many plans. Which changes should you be most enthusiastic about implementing? The first to go can be the ones you care least about.
You don't really need to go looking for clues. You just need to think about what you can already see. A picture is slowly starting to form. It will become much clearer if you stop squinting. You want things to be a particular way. So deep is your desire for a dream to come true that you are willing to overlook a hundred signs, signals and suggestions to the contrary. Put aside your prejudice. Be truly willing to recognise reality, even if it conflicts with your preferred vision.Why do you need new information about an emotional issue? So that you can decide which, of several old solutions, you should apply to a difficulty. You absolutely know what to do. We are dealing with a situation that is well within your existing repository of experience. The only thing is, you may mistakenly identify it as Difficulty A, requiring Strategy X when it is, in fact, Problem B, requiring Policy Z. Ask just a few more questions and you will get a clear conclusion, after which all will get easier.
Your memory is neither short nor selective. Nothing escapes your attention and everything remains in your consciousness. You may choose not to talk about all that you know, but you can't deny that you know it. Amazingly, some folk are far less fastidious. They don't watch out for a fraction of what they should be wary of. And they don't draw wisdom from their own experiences - far less ask others about what they have been through. Strive to be wise and fair in your emotional life now and you can't go wrong.When we go to the circus, we pay good money to watch a balancing act. When one person stands on another person's head, we applaud - especially if the one below is riding a unicycle whilst the one on the top is juggling torches of fire. In our daily lives, though, we feel somehow obliged to be a little more stable. Actually, though, all of existence, in one way or another, involves a logistical challenge of some kind. Much in your world now, is in a state of flux. Don't try to fight this, adapt to it. You needn't fear a drop or a disappointment. 
If beliefs were obliged to be logical before anyone would subscribe to them, they would no longer need to be beliefs. Belief comes into play when no conventional proof can be easily found. The lack of proof for a belief does not make a belief wrong. It is simply an indication that emotional forces are at work. I mention all this because of the deep belief that now shapes your attitude toward a sensitive situation. Please be aware that it is a belief and not an incontrovertible fact. Don't mix up head and heart. You are no longer sure how sure you are... about something you once felt totally sure of! You are seriously contemplating a commitment, reassessing your level of motivation and dedication to a goal that it was previously a high priority to attain. It's not that you are losing interest, just that your level of interest is altering. It was fed, in the past, by a limited idea of what might be possible for you. Now you're seeing broader horizons. That's giving you the courage to change much, for the better.
