Attack, they say, is the best form of defence. But that's only true if you know what you are attacking and where its weak spots lie. Your current enemy is nebulous. It can shift shape. If you mistake its identity, you will make things worse by stirring up trouble that need not happen. Better to overcome the urge to react and wait till a clear, wise, solution arises. You can start to break free, this weekend, of something.What do you crave with a passion that borders on a secret obsession? Be honest. If you kid yourself, you will end up acting unconsciously. You will, inadvertently, get faced with an irresistible temptation. That's what always happens when we try to deny our deepest feelings. Are you going to ignore all doubt and pursue your great desire? Or will you stop yourself, no matter how badly you feel the urge? What matters now, under the influence of this week's potentially life-changing eclipse, is that you are clear and honest! that you really don't have to be trapped by any more. It requires patience and determination.'Jack and Jill went up the hill to fetch a pail of water...' When English speaking children are barely old enough to speak or think, adults sing them this salutary song. Jack breaks his head open. Jill has a bad accident too! Clearly, in our collective unconscious, we consider it very important to warn all new arrivals on the planet about the dangers of hills... and wells - and couples working together! Yet two people can sometimes achieve wonderful things as a team and there's no reason to fear disaster in your future now

You have become used to an uncomfortable climate. Overpowering experiences have caused you to expect difficulty at almost every turn and, though recently things have begun to look up, you have come to the conclusion that you should continue to be wary of trouble. You have made psychological provision for this, creating various personal defence mechanisms. Of course you want to be free. Yet what else do you want? Security? Comfort? Companionship? To enjoy any of these advantages it is necessary to sacrifice a little liberty. Routine comes at the expense of spontaneity. Relationship comes at the expense of independence. Life is a balancing act and we are all pivotal points (if things are calm) or desperate jugglers (if things are not). Right now, you are trying to reconcile what appear to be several mutually exclusive needs. Relax, it's not as big deal as you fear. .  It's time to remember that you are not some small cog in a giant machine. You are important. You are entitled t...

If you want to lose weight, should you eat less or more? If you want to reduce stress, should you set a greater number of targets or a smaller one? If you want to feel less pressured, should you strive for higher standards or accept lower ones? Feel free to take on as much responsibility as you want. You are entitled to be ambitious and adventurous. But no matter how intense  life becomes, don't imagine that the way to lead an easier life involves first making your situation more difficult.   How much excitement do you want? How many intense emotional experiences do you feel you need? Do you have to get caught up in some great drama? Must you deal with problem after problem? Sorry to ask all these questions, but then questions themselves can be so very destabilising. As soon as we start to ask them, we begin to chip away at whatever is making us feel most stable and secure. You can't just ignore an unsatisfactory situation, but nor do you have to give it your full attention ri...
