The world is full of people who are doing favours for other people. Some folk try to keep a tally. It drives them half insane. Others just do their best wherever they can. They figure that what goes around comes around. And if they just leave everything alone it will all sort itself out naturally. You are becoming ever more aware, though, of what seems like an abusive imbalance. Try not to pay too much attention to it this week. A process of natural justice will set it all straight sooner than you might expect. Opinion polls. Surveys. Questionnaires. That's what many a modern mystic will consult when they want to see the shape of things to come. These suited and booted soothsayers, place as much faith in their methodology as my predecessors did in entrails, crystal balls, even sky maps. But the old cosmic systems never lie. Whereas people, when being interviewed, tend to say what they think will make them sound good, even if it's not the truth. To understand what's really going on be wary of tailored truths.
Imagination is more intoxicating than any drink, more addictive than any drug. One way or another, we are all hooked on dreams. Those who deny this and who claim to have a clear grip on reality are the most dangerously deluded of all. They are dreaming a dream about not dreaming! Don't apologise for a fantasy. Don't ignore or suppress it either. You are entitled to your aspiration and you may well benefit from indulging it. A passing fancy can lead to a lasting advantage. There is no need to fear the future. You've only got a limited amount of luck. You don't need very much. Most of what now needs to be achieved can be attained through hard work, clever thought and careful positioning. Put yourself in the place most likely to be useful at the time when you sense you're most likely to get a result. Then be patiently persistent. If you feel that this is what you have already been doing but you doubt whether it has done any good, have faith.
 You will soon see proof that you have been wise. Some people imagine that if an entity is omniscient, it must also be omnipresent and omnipotent. But it doesn't quite work like that. You, for example, can see what will happen, wherever you go, before you go there. So, although you are capable of being everywhere, you sometimes just decide to go nowhere. That has been part of your problem of late. Too much to think about; not enough to head for. But now you find yourself knowing something that it's truly useful to know Many educational establishments attempt to foster a competitive spirit among their students. Yet surely all this is inherent in human nature and it might have been better if, as children, we had been taught to suppress this urge, rather than encouraged to pursue it. Arguably, it is the reason why our world is now full of such unnecessary conflict and you may think you have an opponent, but if you alter your expectation, you may yet find out that you have a friend. Don't work against someone you should be working with.
