Month: October 2012

Your words carry a lot of punch so make sure you think before you speak. The idea is to turn enemies into friends and not the other way around.  If you don’t control this tendency to speak out you will suffer considerable blow back under the current planetary influences. Make sure that when you are stating an opinion that you make it clear that it is an opinion and not a fact.

Stories that get started at this time seem to take on a life of their own.  It is a circuitous effect that could be damaging or at least annoying.  Don’t contribute to any gossip that is making the rounds. Stay focused on your plan and don’t get distracted by superfluous information.

Offer your help to those in need.  They may be experiencing a difficult situation and your encouragement would be very meaningful.  Complications in your thinking may become apparent. Do your best to make any adjustments that keep things moving in a positive direction.

Don’t sit on the fence. If you have an opinion this is the time to voice it.  There are advantages and disadvantages to stating your position but it is your position. Stand up to it.  You may think that you save yourself some aggravation by just nodding at the status quo but, really, isn’t that a little disingenuous.  You are not trying to influence other people. You are just trying to express your true self.

This is a great time to focus on underlying issues.  Things are not what they appear to be. Take a deeper look at your own motivation and you will see that you are partly the cause of the reaction.  It is important to be diplomatic without lying.  I know this is a fine line for some but you must know the difference.

Organize your thoughts so that you are well prepared.  Something unexpected could come up.  You should be ready.  Spontaneity is well prepared.

There are some very vain people that think that they can deliver the message that no one else can.  You either have to be vain or completely naïve.  The messenger always gets hit over the head.  Steer clear of becoming someone else’s truth serum.  That is better left to the Gods. If you want to make a point in life, then set a good example.  That takes a long time but it is by far the safest and most effective way of telling the truth.  In antiquity, it is told that if we knew the truth, we would perish.

This reminds me that we often draw a lot of conclusions that are not always based in fact.  We shadow other people’s intentions with what actually may be our own intentions.  Be careful that you are not projecting your own agenda onto someone else.

New attitudes toward discipline dominate the coming few years. Monetary discipline seems to be the primary focus of what can be expected. It’s the old story that if you make 99 dollars and spend 100 dollars, you will become a pauper.  On the other hand, if you make 100 dollars and spend only 99 dollars, you will become a rich man or woman.  This seems simple until you incorporate the egotistical needs of the human being.  This looks to be the fight for individuals as well as institutions.

This is an ideal time to put your house in order. There are plenty of events coming up that will require your full attention. You need to be prepared to take on the added responsibility without becoming overly stressed.  This is something that must be addressed now.
