Love, peace, forgiveness and goodwill. Why should this be such an elusive goal? Perhaps it explained by the way that so many people are greedy, selfish and insensitive. Perhaps the world is populated by folk who aren't very nice to know and so can hardly be expected to behave any better. Actually, few of us are that bad but it is this very tendency to see fault in others that feeds a vicious cycle of alienation? Let go of some of what you disapprove of and watch how the world becomes a much sweeter place today.
Some sayings have a greater impact than others. Take, for example, the phrase, 'You can't judge a book by looking at the cover'. Imagine working for a publisher in the Jacket Design Department. If that message were framed on the wall in front of your desk, you would surely be too demoralised to do your job. But it is, of course, only partially true. There are many books that we can definitely get the measure of from just one quick glance at the front. You can trust your initial impression of a person or situation now.
So many ifs, buts and maybes. You don't want to make a mistake. You would hate to feel that you were going to spend ages, in the future, compensating for the implications of one spur-of-the-moment decision. But then, if you don't seize the moment, you may spend ages waiting for another such moment. Fortune favours the bold and all that you need to do now is to show some courage. Don't entirely abandon caution but do warn it that if it doesn't pull up its socks and get a move on, you will have to leave it behind!
'How are you?' 'I'm fine thanks.' This polite exchange takes place all over the world. It happens so automatically that people don't even notice they are doing it. We get so used to telling other people that we are 'fine thanks', that we end up believing this to be true, even when circumstances suggest otherwise. 'Did the bus just run over my foot? Did my partner just leave me? Well sure, but I want to say I'm fine thanks, anyhow.' Yet if, you are brave enough to deal with what is not so fine, everything really will be fine, thanks.
Do you own any Post-It notes? Or can you get some sticky tape and some bits of paper? Try fixing these to your bathroom mirror. But just before you do, write messages on them. Use phrases like, 'good person' or 'deserves success'. Then draw little arrows that will point, once those notes are affixed, to the place where your reflection would normally appear. That should serve as a suitable reminder of your astrological entitlement today. See yourself as someone with a reason to expect the best, and you will yet get it.
Who knows how guardian angels work? What principles and priorities do they follow? Do they judge us and offer support and reward in direct proportion to the number of good deeds that we do or kind thoughts that we think? Or might they be entirely without prejudice, as happy to help a sinner as a saint? If so, you need not trouble yourself with any concern about whether you deserve some heavenly intervention and assistance. You can simply assume that it is there for you if you request it. Work on that basis.
