If, at times, you can be your own worst enemy, then it stands to reason that at other times, you can be your own best friend. The two are, after all, much more closely connected than most people seem to think. Almost always, enemies are folk who once were friends. That, in turn, is the reason why it takes some people a while to work out who their enemies really are! And vice versa. Never mind who else is on your side now, just make sure, for the sake of your emotional stability, that you give yourself the support you deserve.
 How far should you push a particular point? You sorely want a certain someone to understand something. This is really much more 'for their own good' than for yours. The thing is, though, you would benefit, albeit indirectly, if this person were to see a particular situation from a different angle. They can see and understand that much, which partly explains their reluctance to take on trust what you want to suggest. Be patient. Even without your intervention, this person will see the light sooner than you think.  What's most interesting now is not your ability to fulfil a particular aspiration; it is your inability to reach another attractive - but seemingly unattainable - objective. Why is this proving so difficult? Why do you keep experiencing so many setbacks? Might there be a lesson to learn here regarding your emotional life? Could there be a wonderful reason for your apparent problems? It is as if you are being kept away from something you think you want but that you really do not need - so you can be led to something far, far better
 Let's have a secret code. If I say the words 'three-toed sloth' you can assume that I am referring to 'you-know-what'. If I say 'pink with green stripes', that means 'you-know-who'. By developing this a little further, we can communicate safely about the sensitive matter that's now arising in your emotional life. Nobody else will know what we are on about. Not that it matters, for your secret is not actually as explosive as you fear. But,  if you do see a luridly striped sloth, be careful not to say too much about it!
