Predicting Interferences

In light of the holiday season, it’s a good idea to be thankful. Whatever our gifts in life, we should be grateful. We all possess currency of some kind and it is good to realize how fortunate we are. In life, our situation undergoes changes for the better and for the worse. But really it is all in the way you look at it. Very good news for one person could be very bad news for another and vice versa. In Harlem, they say “bring me no good news.”

In astrology, planets influence you, the way that you receive the planetary influences. Therefore, the important thing is the receiver, the rising sign. The rising sign is a filter through which you see your life and the world at large. You can always change yourself.

Free will is an important part of the human dynamic and it is often underutilized. We think that we are using free will but it takes a great deal of work to free your-self from generations of influences.

The preferences we have in life often come from our genes, our upbringing and our own ability to reason. The ability to reason and to make changes in our thoughts and actions can mitigate the outcome. We can consciously create circumstances that are beneficial and healthy for ourselves and others.

Go the Distance

Spread your wings. The coming weeks are going to be filled with activity and you are going to feel that you are in your element. There is a sense of relief that you will experience. Although things may not have worked out entirely as you planned, there is the distinct feeling that you have made progress.

Clarity is on the horizon. You are starting to put together a puzzle that has long eluded you. There were always pieces of the puzzle that did not quite fit but you are now able to plug them in. This gives you confidence in your system of thinking and your perspective.

Don’t overlook situations that have a lot of potential. You may think that something is a waste of time but, in fact, it could lead to something much more satisfying than you realize. Great oaks from little acorns grow.

Give time and energy to projects that have the greatest potential and put the others on the back burner. Other people will require your attention. Be generous with your time and energy as it will open new doors. People are now willing to listen to some ideas that were previously off the table.

Time is the Best Storyteller of All

Sometimes things come to us in a most unexpected way. You always think that it is your friends who will deliver in your time of need but sometimes, it is your enemies. We are often changing enemies into friends and friends into enemies. It is this dynamic that allows us to really understand who we are.

It is a struggle to really know ourselves. It is a transformational process that goes on life long. There are no shortcuts, it is a constant effort to reveal who we are. We want to know and others want to know too. It doesn’t happen all at once. Sometimes we fail to recognize when something has changed and we are as much surprised by it as anyone else.

Current planetary influences give us a great deal of energy and enthusiasm for seeking out the secrets of life. We can dig into our own secrets and discover unknown patterns of behavior that exist within us. Discovering these things can open up new possibilities that have been dormant for a very long time.

Embrace change in your life as this is the only constant. Be flexible and adaptable to situations and this will guarantee their success. Look to nature for clues of evolution. Nature and nurture are the influences that have made us who we are. We are all unique and have a purpose in working for the greater good of mankind.

Keep Your Balance

The week ahead holds many opportunities to mold a situation into something much better. The previous few weeks have been taxing emotionally, but this is now offering you a new perspective. Sometimes we forget to appreciate what we have accomplished over the long term. All change takes a lot more time than we think. It is a slow process that occurs internally and often it doesn’t manifest itself for months or years. Try to be courageous in the face of these changes. Good fortune follows the courageous one.

You may feel that things are a bit too steamy from an emotional point of view. Allow things to unfold in an orderly way without using too much pressure. Others are not likely to respond well to aggression.

Everything is good and bad at the same time. What is good for something may be bad for something else. There are no absolutes in terms of good or bad, happy or sad, rich or poor. We all have some of both. What we are is in the eye of our own beholding. See yourself in the best possible light.

Accept your own flaws and you will be more compassionate toward other people. By accepting yourself, you create space for others. Your whole self is brighter and bolder in the face of difficult times.
