Month: June 2012

Inspiration plus perspiration moves you forward, and a good idea inspires you to undertake successful projects.  You are slowly and steadily working your way through an issue that’s been around since November 2011.  It seems you are overwhelmed with detail, but keep on pushing. Happiness comes from car trips, friendly chats, reading and ideas in general.  Have fun.  Albert Camus said, “I shall tell you a great secret my friend.  Do not wait for the last judgment, it takes place every day.”  Work, and enjoy yourself as if this were your last day.

Do not stray from your partner or associate, that person is very necessary now.  Why: because you keep running into roadblocks on your own. If you’re un-partnered, spend time out in the world with people.  Alone, you’ll feel trapped, frustrated and jumpy.  Good fortune comes from pleasing ideas and enjoyable conversation.  Head toward the things that make you happy and you will find success.  If it isn’t fun, it won’t work!  You’ll recognize failure by the drudgery surrounding it.  A woman is helpful behind the scenes.  Mother Teresa said, “We cannot all do great things, but we can do small things with great love.”

Surprises keep coming, and when you try to fix them the road is blocked.  You move forward, then back up, then forward again.  Finally you try another route.  Two open doors are available and both are successful.  One leads to a partnership and the other leads to a good natured happy-talker who is kind and helpful.  You just can’t go it alone today.  Someone offers support behind the scenes.  Accept gratefully.  Andy Warhol said, “They say that time changes things, but you actually have to change them yourself.”  Get moving!

Events or emotions can cause you to question yourself today.  You feel like a small child who doesn’t know what to do and needs to be taken care of.  Make no attempt to “go it alone” if you feel dismayed or discouraged.  Talk things over with trusted confidantes.  A stabilizing force is present in the form of a partner, an older person or someone who can debate you out of your feelings.  Intellectual analysis will pull you out of an emotional slump, and that’s exactly what is here.  A light attitude and a loving response can disperse the clouds that seem so threatening.  If a vulnerable friend appears, give assurances of your good will.  That’s all that’s needed.  Something that seems overwhelming can be solved by a friendly, “I’ve always liked you.”  Anais Nin said, “Each friend represents a world in us, a world possibly not born until they arrive.”

An inclusive way of speaking, an appeal to people’s highest emotions, is very successful in unifying others.  A satisfying conversational opportunity presents itself.  If someone wants to talk, shove everything else aside and join in!  Something important can be settled.  At the same time, a tense situation arises, one that is fundamentally intractable.  The great danger is that a hothead (you?) will decide to “go for it!” and charge in when it’s better sit on the sidelines.  Wait this out.  There is NO open door for the serious situation today.  Gautama Buddha said, “The greatest prayer is patience.”  Nevertheless do your best to give others, even people who seem like they’re not listening, the benefit of kindness.  They will remember.  It won’t be obvious today but a friend is made who will be on your side in the future. Love is still fun, and you can have some happy times reading, driving around or chatting with friends.

An emotional conversation or thought represents the end of a situation, not the beginning.  Express yourself and relax.  It’s over.  Allow others to do the same, and be aware that sometimes people just need to have their say.  No action is required, just listen.  Imagine a volcano erupting.  All you have to do is watch and it’s over.  Today the softest path is the most successful.  Float through the day as though you are being blown by the wind or gently sliding downhill.  The effortful path doesn’t succeed but the natural path does.  If you’re trying to make something happen, back off!  A workaholic energy is floating about and if you absolutely must do something rearrange your office, desk or room.  This will be productive, and you won’t annoy others.  Criticism is unsuccessful, so don’t bother.  The good energy is still with friends, groups, loved ones and intuitive perceptions.  These can’t fail.  Peter Drucker said, “The most important thing in communication is to hear what isn’t being said.”
