We live in a world full of so-called experts. Specialists abound. Consultants are rife. Everyone, it seems, has a particular field of interest in which they excel. It's nice to believe that this is really the case and it's true that some of us know much more about certain topics than others do. Nonetheless, there are some factors in this world of which we are all equally ignorant! With regard to what's in your heart and who you need in your life, nobody but you can speak with authority now.
 Here's an interesting question. Are you a brilliant pioneer or a potential saint? You may think that both sound like far-fetched propositions, but you ought to keep in mind that both types of people tend not to see themselves as anything special. Ground-breakers are often folk who are struggling to do what they feel is right, regardless of how much effort the task involves. Kind, giving, caring, souls can lead turbulent lives and experience much self-doubt. You deserve a little appreciation and admiration. It's time to be proud of yourself.
Experts agree that if you start a sentence with the words 'experts agree' you'll give it such an air of authority that you will convince all but the most sceptical. There are, however, very few true experts in this world, and it's unusual to find two or more who agree with one another. What you do tend to get are a lot of people who know a bit, and who are doing their best to pretend that they know everything. The last thing you want now is an expert opinion about your love life. You may as well trust your own brightest hope!
Criticism. For some people, it's a sport. For others, a way of life. We find fault with each other, with ourselves, with situations and with arrangements. Indeed, the only thing we never think to find fault with, is the process of finding fault. Too many fingers are being pointed too harshly in your world now. You won't create sweetness and light the minute you withdraw some of your own complaints, but you will help to break a cycle of mutual disapproval and petty point-scoring. That will make all matters of the heart much happier.

 Feel free to walk under as many ladders as you care to. Take a sledgehammer to the mirror if you wish. Put your new shoes right on top of the table. So strong is the spell of protection that the sky is now placing around you, that nothing can destroy it. Of course, if you choose to nurture a negative attitude, you can soon diminish the strength of your advantage. Power of choice counts for more than anything. But unless you desperately want a tough time in your love life, you'll soon have an easy one.
 Have you got a lot to learn? Perhaps. It's probably more appropriate to say that you have a lot to unlearn. At an early age, we all get taught to see the world in a particular way. A lot of what we absorb is valuable and stands us in good stead. A lot of it too, though, is absurd. We take on beliefs, values, priorities and notions that simply reflect the fears and obsessions of some past generation that is now defunct! There's an artificial restriction that you are imposing on yourself. To improve a key relationship now, just forget about it! 
Roll up your sleeves. There is work to be done. You may feel, as you look at the size of the task before you, that there's no point in making an effort. Even if you do enjoy a small amount of success, you will probably just end up swapping one set of problems for another. You are entitled to be cynical if you wish - and you are entitled too, to adopt a defeatist attitude. Even so, there's something that you HAVE to try. It involves a change in your emotional life with which you CAN make excellent progress - as long as you are positive!
Psychologists often advise us to get in touch with our inner child. That's not such a bad idea. Your inner child is not necessarily a tantrum-throwing toddler. It may be a wide-eyed being of innocence and grace; open, trusting, willing to see the best in everyone. Your inner child may simply want you to have fun and enjoy each moment as if you were seeing the world for the very first time. Around you now, someone with a 'grown-up' attitude is chasing away magic. But with an open heart you can get it back.
What can we do if we really try? Can we turn back time? Can we manifest precious resources out of thin air? Not all the time, perhaps, but there are occasions when somehow, suddenly, we realise that we have played a part in making miracles happen. We don't always achieve this in an instant. Sometimes, we have to keep at it day after day for weeks. Sometimes, too, we only have to make the effort once, but it can take a long time before the result comes. To improve your love life now, just believe in yourself.
It appears as if you do not have the resources you require to cope with a big challenge. But appearances can be deceptive. A challenge may be obliging you to think about a lot, but this is ultimately as constructive as it is instructive. It is sharpening your focus and enabling you to identify, in specific detail, the nature of a pressing need. Keep looking at the situation which seems so exasperating. Once you have fully understood what you are being asked to find, you will see a way to get what's needed.
