Relative Curiosity

It’s good to like what you are doing.  It creates a positive energy field that attracts new people and events into your life. You feel lighter and much more accommodating when you like what you do.  It isn’t always possible to do what you like and most professions require doing a lot of what you don’t like. Over time, though, you should be able to gravitate toward the things that give you the most satisfaction.

Keep in mind that everything takes a lot more time than you think.  You may be feeling impatient and ready to give up on some things because a substantial amount of effort is required.  It is usually at that moment that you are ready to make a break through.  Persevere.

Hard work comes naturally to you at this time.  You don’t balk at some of the duties that ordinarily send you into a tizzy.  Stay focused as there is no job that can’t get done. You have a great deal of energy and if you are willing and patient, you can accomplish most anything.

Don’t forget to give into some light hearted fun.  This is refreshing and will keep you on track.  Don’t let the cold weather keep you from enjoying the great outdoors.  Even if you work out, there is nothing like nature to bring out the best in you.

Odd Ducks

Everything seems so uncertain at this point that it is difficult to get any sense of security.  And security is a high priority at the moment.  Unfortunately, it is probably not attainable in these times.   The only thing that is certain is change.  You must be flexible to stand up to the pressures and stresses of daily life.  One way to be flexible is not to anticipate a specific outcome.  Be open to letting information flow in and out of your conscious mind.  This should give you a more strategic point of view.  Information is king.

Kindly disregard any rude attempts at getting your attention.  Your surroundings are filled with aggressive people seeking a sure path.  They want to know exactly where you stand.  This isn’t possible as everything is in constant motion.  Not that you aren’t willing to make a commitment, but not until you have all the facts.

Arbitration is the best method of seeking a solution at this time.  Any direct confrontations will be rebuffed. See what is there but also see what is missing.  This will help you see the full scope of the matter.  Don’t allow others to strongly influence you.  Listen but don’t act until you are ready.

A Litmus Test

You need to get fired up.  You have all sorts of ideas floating around in your head and no focus or plan to put them to work.  With the Sun in practical Capricorn, you will begin to formulate a plan to get things moving.  Now that the holidays are behind, you don’t have any more excuses for postponing those things that really need to get done.  Dedicate a day or two to cleaning off your desk and then go to town.

You will get the occasional lightning bolt that gets your creative juices flowing. You will get a flash of information that seems to appear out of nowhere.  Learn to trust your instincts and rely less on other people’s opinions.  This will help you become more self-assured.  You have just as good a chance of being right as they do.

Dig deep in order to get all the facts.  Don’t assume.  Your judgment is likely going to become a center piece of any negotiations.  It is good to be thorough and it will be noticed by those who can make a difference.  Elevate your mood by staying focused on the positive. 

Take a little time to enjoy yourself.  Take a walk or a ride on your bicycle.  This will help in keeping your mind clear.

Rumination

Over the years it may become apparent that we need to make some adjustments to our thinking and this is always somewhat anxiety producing.  It is difficult to change.  Especially when it comes to changes in your nature.  It feels uncomfortable and nerve racking.  Yet, it seems that these changes should be made to increase the likelihood of a healthier and happier life. It is often tiring to constantly be examining the underpinnings of our psychology and it shouldn’t be so labor intensive.  Better to keep active in life and the need for change will emerge in a natural way.

Reflections of our life are constantly being thrown at us.  We act and react in some good and bad ways.  It depends on how foreign the concept.  If it surprises us, we may have an emotional and unpleasant reaction.  This may translate into a kind of blow that may be experienced in varying ways.

You may be especially sensitive to your body.  As if every ache and pain takes on a life of its own.  This hypersensitivity will soon pass.  Don’t overreact to these symptoms but rather examine them. Try to get to the core.  Take action if necessary.

The New Year is a chance to progress in every aspect of life.  Use this year constructively and don’t take yourself too seriously.  Lighten up.

 

Are You Listening?

Both the practical and idealistic play a part in our current view of things. These two elements are very hard to blend.  Earth and fire are elements that usually have the effect of steam rolling over things.  It’s as if no one is listening to you or they are talking over you as if you don’t exist.  This erratic behavior is somewhat unnerving.  You may not be able to get other people to stop doing it, but make sure that you aren’t doing it. People who listen always have a lot of friends.

Being an idealist is a tough ideal to maintain.  As life goes on, you realize that compromise is needed.  You may have to work in an industry that isn’t necessarily ideal but you have to earn a living.  Apply your good values to whatever you do.  You can’t do more than that.

Nothing is perfect except the un-manifested. Once something comes into being it is no longer perfect.  Try to strive for attainable and realistic goals.  Otherwise, you may become down-hearted.  Our life is a creation of our own making.  Some things are given and other things have to be worked for.  Life isn’t fair but we all have gifts and handicaps that challenge us. 

Work at getting to know yourself better.  This is a tangible and rewarding goal.  You pay for everything. You pay for what you want and you pay for what you don’t want.  Know what you want and be willing to pay the price.  It’s different for everyone.

Prayer of the Heart

Some acts are unspeakable…there are no words.  Yet life continues and nature goes about its job of healing the human heart.  As human beings it is difficult to understand what higher influences are at work.  We can only believe that there is some purpose to our suffering.  We never know what the future will bring and we can only do our best by setting a good example. Beyond this, we are powerless to intervene in the bigger picture.

We can take little steps, in hopes that we can mitigate some human suffering, but we cannot know how much of it will change the outcome. We can try to use free will and foresight and believe that this will have some impact on the outcome for mankind.  But, there are no guarantees.

Although the world undergoes some events that we all become a part of, we should try to maintain our optimism and perspective.  We cannot see the whole picture and we cannot judge the significance of any act.

We can only hope that our short time on earth is not without purpose.

 

Fast Forward

You find yourself having very vivid dreams.  You may see names of people or people that are specific to your life at this time.  You are bringing emotional feelings to the surface through the activity of dreaming.  Actually, it is believed that you can solve problems in your sleep.

The last week you have felt energized.  You have been able to accomplish a lot.  This leaves you a little exhausted and a little irritable.  Usually, getting a lot of work done leaves you feeling relieved but it seems that there is some anxiety connected with this great amount of energy that you are expending.

Perhaps it is the holiday season that gives you anxiety.  It should be a happy time of the year but there are often obligations that lead you to feel slightly uneasy.  Life is difficult enough without the added pressure of the holiday season. Take care of your health, as you could be vulnerable with all the events that are on your schedule.

Underlying issues come to the surface. This is good because you can now deal with them.  As long as they remain unconscious you are unaware of the conflicts that exist within.  Take advantage of this time to control your nervous temperament. Don’t let you mood ruin your good times.

 

Careful Calculations

Step out of your comfort zone.  Everything within you may be telling you to play it safe but step out and bring some new influences into your life.  These new influences will bring new people with new ideas.  This will be very stimulating and will encourage your own creativity.  Stay alert as new opportunities may come and the only enemy will be your own reluctance.

Don’t make things more complicated.  You find yourself with an infinite number of choices but are afraid to make a move.  Just make a choice and take action.  This is by far the best solution.  Otherwise, you will spend valuable time making assessments and in the end not do anything. Hesitation, in this case, is more dangerous to your prospects.

You are much more together than you think you are.  Taking a step will reinforce your self-confidence.  There is no such thing as a mistake. Mistakes lead to better solutions in the future.  They are a learning tool. 

You are driven to go deeper in your search for truth.  Don’t dig half way.

 

 

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.
