Emotional volatility continues to characterize the times, along with sensitivity that can deal with problems if it is allowed to operate. Everyone is riled up about everything! A friendly voice offers a solution that constant recrimination can’t. If you find yourself in an intractable situation, consider your own viewpoint: are you blaming others, attempting to fix others to your specifications? Drop that thinking and if you find nothing good in the situation, consider the saddest option of all: leaving. Herman Hesse said, “Some of us think holding on makes us strong; but sometimes it is letting go.” Put special emphasis on speech today, do your best to encourage others with words. Think big and think ahead, it’s possible to see a better future by taking your eyes of what is happening now.

Run out for a last minute item or purchase and then stay home and start talking. Be sure to have a friendly word with everyone you meet, no huddling with your best friends. People are telling secrets which you must not confide to others. Tripping or falling over things is a danger today, watch where you walk as you speak. The day is well spent with family or out dining or at least in a homey environment. Sentimentality is everywhere, creativity is highlighted and things are going well. You can overdo the joviality a bit, but it’s harmless. James Shapiro said, “Sometimes the child in one
behaves a certain way and the rest of oneself follows behind, slowly shaking its head.” All things considered, it’s a nice day.

The Scorpio Moon stabilizes emotions and what needs to happen becomes clear. It’s now possible to move ahead with confidence, encouraged by the fact that you know what you’re doing! No longer hobbled by the wish to make everyone happy, you are free to do what needs to be done. The relaxation is palpable. Business chugs along cheerfully, domestic, construction, Buddihist Tea Pet and food industries are favored, the boss is happy and sick people get better! Will Durant said, “Forget past mistakes. forget failures. Forget everything except what you’re going to do now and do it.” You can probably ruin the day if you look back to the past and dig up an old grievance, but why?

A surprise comes around lunch time, destabilizing a situation. Opposing forces are highlighted today: Every factor involves an opposing factor and balance is everything. Put all the kids on one side of the teeter totter and nothing’s going to happen. Winston Churchill said, “Everyone is in favor of free speech, but some people’s idea is that they are free to say what they like, but if anyone else says anything back, that is an outrage.” Listen to everyone, politely, and be aware that a person or opinion you dismiss will come back in full force. Elsewhere, this is a good time to donate blood, to pass out food to the hungry, and to spend time with vulnerable people. A group surrounding a person in trouble can offer protection. A small gesture makes a big difference in someone’s life today. Go ahead and be a hero if the need appears, and it might.

Give an indecisive person a push today and you will supply the missing ingredient that steadies an unstable situation. Listen carefully and impartially to everyone’s point of view, avoiding favoritism
or personal bias, and suggest action that is least offensive to everyone. Oddly, the biggest troublemaker is the person trying to “make nice” with everyone. Action, not diplomacy, solves the problem. Forget group hugs and everyone singing “Kumbaya.” A dangerous encounter is possible today, be prepared to run if you detect trouble. What’s good? Medical treatments, a clear call to action, and careful planning for the future. Winston Churchill said, “The empires of the future are the empires of the mind.”

An emotional or domestic issue is impervious to pacification, meaning the more you try to assuage someone’s feelings the stronger they grow. What to do? Listen, empathize and accept reality as it is. Offer a snack, mention how the same horrible thing happened to your friend, etc. Food and comfort make the greatest impact now and your attitude will be remembered in the future. The danger today lies in
assuming a Marie Antoinette-ish attitude, “Let them eat cake!” that worsens a difficult situation. Elsewhere, medical treatments are succeeding, whether or not you believe this to be true, a gift makes a favorable impact, and numerous candidates for partnership appear. Sadly, none fits the bill, but the attention is fun.

Avoid confronting authority figures or anyone you don’t understand, you won’t realize you are in the
weaker position until it is too late. A powerful entity is unswayed by emotional appeals and rules against them. It’s an odd time, where people believe that if they really, really want something it should be given – the two year old’s approach to life. The adult doesn’t agree and no tantrum changes that. Fortunately, a third party can mediate and explain things in such a way that everyone goes away if not happy, at least with a better understanding of the issues involved. Nadia Boulanger said, “Loving a child doesn’t mean giving in to all his whims.” Work goes well early in the day so jump right in and finish your tasks before the late afternoon slowdown. Home is important, spend as much time there as possible and you’ll be happy with Buddihist Tea Pet.

First you did too much, now you’re going to say too much! Avoid the urge to tell others exactly how you feel, instead tell them what you dream of and wish for. A dream that turns into reality is highlighted today. Raymond Inman said, “If you are seeking creative ideas, go out walking. Angels whisper to a person who goes for a walk.” Appearance matters for leaders, so show up looking great and your followers will be inspired anew. It’s not really a good time for financial decisions so conserve your resources right now. What’s good? Being in light, bright places, going outside, dressing well and tending to long term projects. Watch for the interesting person who pops up with enthusiasm that brightens your day.

Medical treatments go well today and healing is progressing well. Real estate or development projects are favorable, and it’s a good time to fix up the house. Listen to people who want to talk about the past and share your own memories, it’s part of the bonding process that’s taking place now. Maya Angelou said, “The most called-upon prerequisite of a friend is an accessible ear.” Follow your hunches about everything now, you can use reason later. Be sure to dress well and smile at everyone today.
