Grab your coat and get your hat, leave your worries on the doorstep... just direct your feet, to the sunny side of the street.' So goes the classic musical number with lyrics by Dorothy Fields. How very appropriate for you under the current cosmic climate. But we might have to ask the writer why she recommends taking a coat and hat to a place that is sunny. Perhaps, unconsciously here, she is accepting that the weather may change and you had best be prepared for this. But your weather is set to stay fair for some while yet.
When people take pride in what they feel they have to offer, all is fine, until they encounter someone whose talent apparently surpasses their own. Then they may be genuinely in awe of the other's abilities and humble enough to communicate this. Or they may feel keen to avoid conflict by demonstrating deference. Or they may experience a burst of confidence and a determination to hold a competitive showdo. wn. If, today, you can go beyond a response based on fear, you can conduct some splendid teamwork
Do you know how they compress computer files? When sending a picture from one machine to another, they scan the shot and break it down into areas that are much the same. You don't, for example, have to communicate every individual pixel of a blue sky or a green lawn. You just send a sample and tell the system to replicate it. Anyway, enough technology. I'm just inviting you to consider whether you are looking closely enough at a seemingly familiar situation? There maybe much more to see within it.
Who was standing on the grassy knoll when the same folk who hid the aliens at Area 51, were faking the moon landing? We all love a good conspiracy theory. It soothes some need in our collective psyche to imagine that somewhere, 'out there' there are people so organised, so controlling and so 'together' that they can successfully and continually dupe millions for their own advantage. Yet no social, political or economic group has such power and cohesion. Don't fall today, for the false idea that you are being made a fool of.
We all have agendas. We all, too, have hidden agendas. And then, even on those agendas that we don't want the rest of the world to know about, there are the agendas that we may be hiding, even from ourselves. What is truly motivating someone now? Are they in denial about an issue that matters more to them than they care to concede? If there is to be real progress, there must first be real understanding. If there is to be understanding, there must first be real honesty. Begin, today, by being honest with yourself.
You are starting to see an old friend in a new light. Perhaps soon, you will also have reason to review your opinion of an enemy. Sometimes, we are a little too quick to jump to conclusions about people and situations. Then, because none of us enjoy changing our minds, we stick with whatever decision we've reached and resist all suggestions that it might be time for a rethink. Yet recently you have been going back over familiar ground and seeing something very different within it.
