A friend or group proposes a idea that is logical, consistent and wrong.  Why?  It is a solution from the past and what’s needed is something for the present.  “Let’s do it the way we did in 1999” is bound to get you into trouble, this is a different time. The problem is you’re comfortable with the known and leery of the unknown, which is where you should go.

As the day progresses new ideas are outstanding and more acceptable to you. Partnership is highlighted, work projects are enjoyable, and you’re better off avoiding the news.  For now, it’s all rhetoric and no workable plans.  Do consider what you can do to move things forward. Nelson Mandela said, “One of the things I learnt when I was negotiating was that until I changed myself I could not change others.”  A short outing in the afternoon changes your perspective and opens your mind.

Meet up with friends and share your thinking, be sure everyone gets a say and give each idea careful consideration.  A group moves things forward and lets you know where you stand.  A friend offers emotional support and a place to go in case you need one.  Men and women are in harmony and they are able to brainstorm and come to conclusions about the future.

Avoid pursing a dream today, it’ll be like a mirage- the more you chase it the farther away it is.  Paul Valery said, “The best way to make your dreams come true is to wake up.” Steady work is accomplishing miracles, friends are here to help you, and a medical problem is close to resolution, all you have to do is wait.

Hold on tight, you’re in for a bumpy ride today! Give instructions and nobody follows them.  Others try to draw you into a dispute, or you do the same to them.  Organization is the solution to every problem today, and food is a good second solution.  Can’t see eye to with someone?  Say what you’ll do rather than asking what  they’ll do.

Earth signs are strong and the more down to earth and concrete your activities, the better.  Fix something that’s broken, don’t write in your dream journal.  Organize your finances, don’t pray to win the lottery.  Go for tangible results. Martin Luther King said, “If I thought the world were to end tomorrow, I would still plant an apple tree today.” A project is coming to fruition and happiness lies in focus on details.

Got a list of rules?   Follow it: check off items as you complete them and by the end of the day you will stand back amazed by your progress!  Be sure you have all the necessary ingredients at hand. Writing a book but don’t have a printer?  Buy one!  Making a cake but don’t have eggs?  The same.  The right ingredients equal success today.

The Munchikins sang, “Follow the yellow brick road,” a perfect example of the task of the day: following directions.  Later you can analyze why you didn’t think this was necessary in the past. This is a stable, productive time.   Visit the doctor or stylist, eat all five food groups, stay on your diet, organize your medications, tidy your file cabinet, take an invigorating walk, and be in bed by 10 pm.  You’ll feel wonderful.

A brilliant thinker mediates between two forces that have been unable to come to a resolution;  everyone recognizes the wisdom of the idea and heaves a sigh of relief.  All that remains is to put the plan into action,  easier than thinking of it.   It’s time to work, not play, and the harder you work the happier you will be.  Love and accomplishment come from sticking with the job. Plutarch said, “Many things which cannot be overcome when they are together, yield themselves up when taken little by little.”

Partnership is excellent but distracting, tending to pull you off your plan of action.   Spend time with a partner then time alone, back and forth, for best results.  Health matters improve, dietary issues are resolved and anyone engaged in detailed work- accountants, dentists, bookkeepers, car mechanics, etc,-do outstanding work. This is a great day to teach, learn and expand your “how-to” knowledge.

You’re still in the mood to chant slogans but to your chagrin you won’t convert others to your cause today.  In fact, it is time to change your strategy. A new outlook, a slight tweak in the agenda, makes things right.  The first step is the hardest; admit things aren’t working.  This opens the door to success and unleashes energy previously trapped in resisting a problem. Happiness and enthusiasm appear as a result of changing your thinking. Winston Churchill said, “We are all worms, but I do believe I am a glow worm.” Be especially cooperative with a person who is working hard, affirm allegiance to those who are important to you, and expand your thinking to encompass other peoples’ reality.  You’ll treat others better and improve your own chances of success.

Feelings-those pesky little critters-combined with a self righteous attitude land you in trouble so avoid acting on them today.  Make sweeping generalizations that fly in the face of reality and you will be shot down. “Every child deserves his own room,” you say to a family of six living in a two bedroom apartment. Consider the reality others face before making judgments.  Arnold Glascow said, “The fewer the facts, the stronger the opinion.”

Today one person goes around tidying things and another goes around messing things up. Ask yourself which role you’re playing and you’ll understand your contribution to the mess.  This is an excellent day for partnership- once you’re working in the same direction- for healing measures, for detailed work and for satisfaction on the job. A forgiving attitude makes everything work.

A covert activity is discovered, causing trouble.  Think again if you imagined you could get away with something that goes against the norms of public interest.  Feeling disgraced?  Apologize, take your medicine and it’ll go away.  Defend yourself and it will get worse.

A plethora of details can’t solve a murky issue today, but medicine can heal a health problem. Try not to annoy someone who is recuperating, avoid dancing attendance on someone who wants to be alone, don’t chase someone who is trying to get away.  Just step back and wait. Doug Larson said, “The real secret of patience is to find something to do in the meantime.” Partnership is wonderful, work is fun, you’re smarter than you used to be and not afraid to show what you know.

Sit down, take a break and relax.  You’ve earned it and you deserve it.  Harder than it sounds, since you still want to maintain the breakneck pace you’ve grown accustomed to. The problem is your work has become your fun.

Investors, sponsors and donors appear where none were before.  Got a cause?  This is your time. Cheerfully accept every gift whether or not you want it, need it, or like it. Abandon pride and be grateful.  Hidden influences are at work changing things and moving them in a more positive direction. Unless you know what these forces are, don’t question what’s happening.

A seed planted long ago is beginning to bear fruit.  Water it, fertilize it, gaze at it, but don’t pull it up to find out what it is.  “Everything gains by non-interference” according to Lao Tsu.

A last minute push wraps up a work project.  You’ll know when it’s done by the change in atmosphere:  from hard charging to sitting around looking at pretty things, enjoying pleasant company and engaging in beautification projects.  Feel like spiffing up your car, home, or appearance? Interested finding someone to bond with? Libra has arrived!

Keep an eye out for hard-charging folks and avoid being run over as you stop mid-path to gaze at the scenery. Many oppositions reflect differences of opinion and your job is to learn about each position while gracefully sticking with yours. Samuel Johnson said, “Curiosity is one of the most certain and permanent characteristics of a vigorous intellect.”

This is a good day to complete a major  piece of work, to tend to important details, and to move steadily in a direction that fulfill your heart’s desire.
