We are all like drivers who never leave their vehicles. Our bodies carry us around wherever we go. We feed them, bathe them, dress them, we put them to bed and we get them up again. And we are so attached to these forms and figures that we have difficulty relating to the idea that 'we' and 'they' are not entirely one and the same. Yet there is a vital distinction. Events this week bring you a helpful, timely reminder of who and what you truly are. From this perspective you will clearly see what must be the right choice to make next.
 Too often, we say what it is easy to say. We say what we think people want to hear. Or we say what we think we ought to be saying. We get so good at meeting expectations that we forget our true needs and feelings. Who cares, as long as we are playing to an appreciative audience. Yet, you are not an actor now, and you cannot keep up a pretence much longer. The trouble is, you feel that your secret aspiration is unreasonable or unrealistic. You fear that if you confess it, you will get little support. Be brave.
Talk is cheap. That's why TV networks often fill their schedules with debates. Opinionated people are happy to be given a platform. They rarely need to be paid. And we are all fascinated by arguments. The more we hear people expressing extreme views and ideas, the more we can then turn to our friends saying things like, 'Did you hear what so-and-so said?' Yet there is a big difference between what people tend to say and what they actually do. That will work in your favour. You will certainly find it helpful  to think of yourself as a secret invisible angel, whose very presence creates opportunity in the lives of all who are nearby. Even if your own life doesn't seem particularly well favoured, you have a profoundly positive influence on others. Meanwhile, in your world  something that seems unremarkable or perhaps even downright undesirable, is serving a secret purpose. Strong support is always nearer than you think.
Why is there so much conflict in this world? Are people fundamentally flawed? Are they somehow compelled to find fault with one another? What stops us all from forgiving and forgetting? What somehow causes even the most innocent exchange to turn troublesome? Is this strange, disruptive factor an example of what's wrong with the human race? Or is it a reflection of something that could be made better within yourself? This brings you the chance to heal an old wound - and that brings forth many potential blessings.Rarely do you stop once you have started. Even more infrequently do you embark on a project that you cannot complete. You know your limitations. You know that if you really push yourself, you can do almost anything! So it's never so much a question of, 'Can I do this?' as, 'Can I be bothered?' You have lately been making some good things happen. Soon, you'll get the chance to work another apparent miracle. Prepare for a great deed to go all but unnoticed but expect to feel pleased by how things turn out.
It looks as if the universe is offering you a rare chance to do something constructive and potentially most rewarding. It would be a great shame not to devote as much time and energy to this as it deserves. But it might also be a mistake to seize your moment so eagerly that you almost crush the potential within it, through the sheer intensity of your enthusiasm. Try to cultivate an air of nonchalance. Forget what you need, how badly you need it and how much this could be your answer. Just do what needs to be done
