Theme: Unpredictable predictability!

Learning how to productively deal with disruption is the theme today. There could be sudden flare ups with both men and women challenging your emotional stability and a sense of who you are. The art of dealing with sudden disruptions is recognizing that this too will pass, knowing what’s possible and not buying into a fixed idea of reality. We’re all caught up in our own sense of what’s real. As Pema Chodron writes: Impermanence is the goodness of reality.

Theme: Diplomacy and letting go!

Today if you’re in one of those epic battles with someone – step back for a moment and notice how deeply your habits are ingrained. Letting go of old habits is not easy – but the noticing them is a step in the right direction. Think deep and act carefully. A few words carefully chosen are better than too many today. You could receive some favorable correspondence today. As Thich Nhat Hanh has said: The truth must be presented in ways that others can accept.

Theme: Addressing conflicts 

Be en garde for pent-up frustrations and expressions of anger today. Some people have a short-fuse. Wise and well-chosen words can be extremely helpful in defusing situations. Sometimes harm can be caused by focusing too much on other peoples failures and faults rather than our own. If your’re into non-verbal communication consider a calming drink of chamomille tea. Have a thought for those beset by anger. As Shantideva offers: Those tormented by the pain of anger never know tranquility of mind.

Theme: Intuition and contemplation

Intuition in its highest form is a connection with the heart. Follow your heart today but don’t throw it away! Always follow-up hunches with in-depth research to confirm your feelings. The results could be good with due diligence. It’s a good day to pursue spiritual matters. If you’re a meditator meditate, if you’re a contemplater contemplate and if you’re a reader read an insightful book! As Shantideva has written: Penetrative insight joined with calm abiding utterly eradicates afflicted states.

Theme: Tidy up the house and have a party!

Today you can tidy up, organize and finish writing projects. It’s a great day for a social event involving good food and a celebration of life. You can turn on the charm without being superficial. Most people really appreciate authenticity in communication that has a good dose of appreciation. Don’t get bogged down in the details. Rather, use the details for finishing touches. As Doris Day said: Gratitude is riches. Complaint is poverty.

Theme: Insight and practicality

Today communication may be be disrupted but in that process far-reaching insight is possible. Change can be a force for good. Plan big but wait a few days to sign anything. There is more stability in your emotional responses today. Your mind can be beneficially turned towards practical matters aided by a fortunate meeting. As Casey Kasem said: Keep your feet on the ground but reach for the stars.

Theme: Play and connection

There is a sense of expansiveness today and even playfulness. But you can have too much of a good thing. Don’t go overboard! An expression of generosity is letting others know how much you value them. As Thinley Norbu writes: If we do complement you, You become five angels. You could experience some unexpected good fortune today in your relationships. Perhaps there is a new friend in your life. You could cultivate that that connection and see what blooms! What you give comes back in unexpected ways.

Theme: Ego energy runs high today. 

Today something is big. Is it emotionally big? Perhaps. Look within to find the answer and be careful in deciding what steps to take next. There is a lot of energy around ‘doing’ but you want good action not impulsive action. It’s good to seek a second informed opinion if your’re not sure about what the next step is. Finally, if you’re experiencing frustration today the better part of valor is patience. As Shantideva says: Remain serene and call to mind that everything arises from conditions.
