You can be quite persuasive today if you slow down your delivery enough so people can follow your thinking. The problem is your brain is processing so fast now that you might leave out significant details just so you don't lose your train of thought. Still, it's better to say too little than too much because others may believe your approach is scattered if you try to cover everything at once. Composer George Gershwin said, "Life is a lot like jazz... it's best when you improvise."
You might find yourself in the middle of a discussion today that dredges up old emotionally charged material that you thought was safely buried. But you may fall down the rabbit hole of your past anyhow, as you take one more pass at putting a painful experience to rest. Hopefully, you are open-minded enough to learn from your previous mistakes. Thankfully, you can consciously shift your frame of reference to accommodate your evolving perspective. Author Frank Knight wrote, "We have to adapt and overcome, that's all we can do."
Your emotional flexibility serves you well, especially when circumstances seem to drift out of control. But your friends and family might have a different view of your behavior, and they wonder if you are floundering now. Nevertheless, you're able to think on your feet as you continue to untangle conflicts in your complicated calendar. Time will tell who is right. In the meantime, you agree with Olympian Mary Lou Retton who said, "Optimism is a happiness magnet. If you stay positive, good things and good people will be drawn to you."
You believe your logic is sound today, but you can't be sure because you feel totally out of your element. Naturally, you prefer to lean on the facts, but there are missing parts of the story and you can't make the larger pieces all fit into place now. Thankfully, you possess enough confidence to trust that everything will make sense over time -- and it will. In the meantime, enjoy the unsolved puzzle without trying to force resolution. Lao Tzu wrote, "Anticipate the difficult by managing the easy."
A relationship issue that comes to light today feels familiar, giving you hope that it can be easily handled so you can move on. But your sense of déjà vu also makes you wonder why this problem continues to resurface. Luckily, you have an opportunity to gain a new understanding of your habitual patterns and how to change them. The key to your current breakthrough comes from a combination of your willingness to share your insights and to listen to the feedback you receive. It pays to keep an open mind and a responsive heart.
You're willing to look at your activities today from a totally new point of view. Instead of fixating on your current schedule and how it differs from your ideal day, consider the changes you could make in your daily routine that would impact every day, not just this one. If possible, involve someone else in your process because it helps to receive support from an ally when improving your life. Robin Sharma wrote, "Today's new behavior is the beginning of tomorrow's new habit."
You can already sense the changes on the horizon and you hope to move through them as gracefully as possible. It's natural to feel a combination of excitement and fear as you consider all the possibilities before you. However, rather than bearing the burden on your own, talk about your feelings with a trustworthy friend. Revealing your current state of apprehension now enables you to clarify what you want in your future. Never stop looking up.
Sometimes, you feel unstable when you can't easily find your way back to center. However, exhilaration overpowers any uncertainty today as you revisit a series of events that has brought you to this present moment. Assessing your current position, along with your apparent trajectory, gives rise to a new wave of confidence that you are doing something that will generate enduring positive change. John Locke wrote, "The discipline of desire is the background of character."
Although you probably can see the speedbump in front of you, you have no intention of slowing down today. In fact, your thoughts are racing ahead so fast, you could achieve lift-off prior to reaching the obstacle. But there's no fallback position now. If you're going to take the risk and reach for the stars, you can't cling to any doubt. The very notion of failure is enough to spoil your success. You have anticipated this moment and you're prepared for it. Carpe diem.
You may appear to be cautious today, but you're more radical in your thinking than anyone realizes. Although people see you as dependable in times of uncertainty, you are entertaining every possibility now, no matter how crazy it sounds. Fortunately, you have the sense to keep your most unconventional ideas quiet, and this rational approach encourages others to support what you finally share. Architect Frank Lloyd Wright said, "There is nothing more uncommon than common sense."
You possess a rare blend of visionary innovation and respect for tradition. Your unique perspective enables you to imagine creative solutions when others are stuck in the status quo. Fortunately, once you share your thoughts, it's obvious to most people that your plan is vastly different than everyone else's. More importantly, folks are eager to give it a try. You are like the fictional character MacGyver who said, "Any problem can be solved with a little ingenuity."
You may be concerned that going along with a group decision today might send a message that's contrary to your nature. Your self-esteem is fueled by your ability to feel compassion for others even when you don't agree with them. But there are limits to what you will do in order to be considered one of the crew. You don't need to turn your dilemma into a crisis; just follow your heart, even if it means temporarily pulling away from everyone. Sometimes it is best to be alone than alone in a crowd.
