You were hoping to see. This ought to cheer you up. There is, of course, the possibility that it could all start going in a different direction at any moment. You can get upset by that thought if you want to bring yourself back down to earth. Really, though, you may as well ascend a little further before You should soon be seeing the kind of progress you think about falling. It is just possible, if you truly allow yourself to rise up high this week, that you might entirely escape the gravity of a situation that's not as serious as it seems.
 TV show presenters. Morning radio DJs. Telephone sales people. Children's entertainers. Religious representatives. Happy smiley people. Permanently obliged to be cheerful and upbeat. Never allowed to look glum or to indulge in a sense of disappointment or disillusionment. Bubble bubble. Twinkle twinkle. Do you really want to join their ranks? You can put on a bland act if you want to. But isn't it much more important for you to get to the real truth behind a false façade?
You have long since learned to take the rough with the smooth. You understand that life will always have its ups and downs and that it is unrealistic to expect perfection. Yet somewhere in the process of reaching this conclusion, you have begun to expect more than your fair share of doom and gloom. Indeed, you are growing suspicious of good news when you hear it. Yet, despite all that seems so difficult, some rather wonderful things are about to happen. Don't waste time wondering whether they are for real.
 Not everything is wrong, it's just that there's one issue that won't go away. Nor, though, can it be easily and fully resolved - at least for the time being. You are stuck with a seemingly unsatisfactory situation and thus you must find some way to be okay about it. What can you learn to love? What can you tolerate, feel an affinity for or find a way to forgive? How can you put aside your fear and sense of restlessness? These may seem like unanswerable questions but a way can be found, you'll find it.
Big problems are never wonderful, but at least they help us deal more easily with life's smaller difficulties. We can see them in perspective and are not crippled by some imaginary fear about how much worse things can get. Under other circumstances, I might be inclined to alert you to a challenge yet, by comparison to all you have lately faced, this week's drama is more likely to come as a piece of light relief. Actually, though, it is more than that, it is a clear sign that trouble's high tide is receding. The next wave will wash in easier times.
