A love relationship or partnership can charm and inspire you today. Something you care about is within reach!  The relationship you have with someone else is THE most important component today.  Jack Kornfield said, “The things that matter most in our lives are not fantastic or grand. They are the moments when we touch each other.”  The balance between your forward drive, your urge to get something done, and someone else’s wishes is still in place for a few more days. Hang in there and keep pushing.

From “The Way to Freedom” by His Holiness the Dalai Lama

“As long as prisoners do not know that they are in prison and do not perceive the life of prison is difficult and painful to bear they will not develop any genuine wish to free themselves from prison.

The same is true of samsara: as long as you are unable to perceive. The defects of life within this cycle of existence, you  will never develop a genuine wish to gain nirvana, freedom from samsara.

If we remain idle and do not think seriously about karmic law, we might feel that we are not accumulating any negative actions and that we are good practioners.

If we analyze our thoughts and actions closely, however, we will find we are engaging in idle speech, harming others, or engaging in covetousness on a daily basis.

We will find we actually lack the primary factor of deep conviction Necessary to really observe the law of karma.” From: THE WAY to FREEDOM by His Holiness Dalai Lama of #Tibet @Dalailama#Buddhism

You can move ahead now.  Aggression and charm are operating together these days.  You charge forward, happy, with a smile on your face!  Your diplomatic and sales skills are most important. Many high executives got there by getting along with others, and everyone wants a pleasant co- worker:  your job is to be that person!  An excellent work or health decision is made today, and it’s a good day to go to the doctor.  Pay attention to details. Handle in-your-face issues. Euripides said, “Slight not what’s near, while aiming at what’s far.”

Good workday today.  You are back in work mode and your thinking is solid and centered.  A decision puts you on the right side of your employer or coworkers.  A bit of organizing on the home front is good as well. Perhaps you’ve noticed a new personal magnetism and optimism is part of your bag of tricks these days.  You are ready for a change and it’s a good time to go!  Be sure your dear ones are on board with the new plans. Incidentally, your partner is the source of your inspiration and confidence, so don’t feel too impatient if you must do a bit of convincing to gain support for your plan.  Alexander the Great said, “Remember; Upon the conduct of each depends the fate of all.”  So true.

New Beginning Day!  Pull in your stomach, stand up straight, remember your strengths and move forward! You’ve got enthusiasm and confidence going for you.  As always, these days, you need to keep your eye on both sides of the deal.   A friend or group has a dream that is inspiring but seems far-fetched to you.  Acknowledge both sides.  You are slowly but surely pulling out of an impasse that has ensnared you for some time. Be realistic about what you can require of others. Don’t be bossy.  Sophocles said, “What you cannot enforce, do not Command.”

Excerpt From The Way to Freedom

by His Holiness the Dalai Lama

There are no physical markers by which to measure progress between positive and negative forces in consciousness.  Changes begin when you first identify & recognize your delusions, such as anger and jealousy. One then needs to know the antidote to delusion, and that knowledge is gained by listening to the teachings. There is NO simple way to remove delusions. They cannot be extracted surgically.  They have to be recognized, and then, through the practice of these teachings can be gradually reduced and then completely eliminated!

These teachings offer the means to free oneself from delusion; a path that eventually leads to freedom from all suffering and to the BLISS of enlightenment. The more one comes to understand the Dharma, or Buddhist teachings, the weaker will be the grip of pride, hatred, greed, and other negative emotions that cause so much suffering. Applying this understanding in daily life over a period of months and years will gradually transform the mind because despite the fact that it often seems otherwise, the mind is subject to change.

Though we realize the harm caused by our delusions, such as damage done to ourselves and others when we act out of anger we still fall under its influence. Thus an untamed mind throws us recklessly into the abyss instead of stopping when it sees the edge.

All merit dedicated to the continued Long Life of His Holiness the Dalai Lama of Tibet. Gratitude for the great blessing of His kind words! All benefit!

Similarly even I have taught that self-honesty in viewing one’s faults and taking the necessary antidote is truly the way. -JAL

Power Play!  You want your due, and your pride can pressure you to demand recognition.  You’re too polite to say it, true, but the feeling is there.  State your case plainly, but stick with a posture of humility.  Milton’s bad boy himself decided, “Better to reign in Hell than serve in Heaven” but also said, “The mind is its own place, and in itself Can make a Heaven of Hell, a Hell of Heaven.”  Your choices may not be quite so extreme, but a decision is at hand.  Be sure you make the right one, and put yourself on the “good guy” side.

Sad, serious things are in the air.  Hurt feelings, a sense of betrayal or disrespect, plague your thinking.  You may be staying, out of sense of duty, with something that has hurt you or begun to bore you. Make a decision today.  If you have been hurt, either forgive the person or situation, or else leave.  Do not remain with negative or resentful feelings.  Express yourself and be kind.  Try to see the big picture.  The past is attempting to pull you back through reminiscences and memories.  Remember Francois Cheng’s words, “We are always at the beginning of things, in the fragile moment that holds the power of life.  We are always at the morning of the world.”  Take heart, face the future, not the past.

An emotional disturbance may have occurred during the night.  A nightmare, an upset child or person must be addressed, and you awaken troubled.  You or someone else is moody and sentimental early in the day, and it seems you’ve been pulled back into an upsetting scenario from the past.  If you think, “I’ve seen this one before,” turn and put your attention in the opposite direction from the issue.  That is where you should be headed!  You won’t want to do this, but if you do your mind will happily engage again and things will pick up.  A good meal, a brisk walk, a chat with a friend or a neighbor will set things right again.  Emotions are the enemy today. Activity is the antidote.
