If you like what you're doing, you'll find reasons to keep doing it. Racing the clock doesn't enter into the equation. Sometimes single-mindedness is a good quality, but it can also hold the seeds of obsession. If you're in danger of being swallowed by your process, it's time to come up for air. Think about previous interests. Call someone that would like to hear your voice again. As a citizen of the world, you owe everyone the pleasure of your company. When you go back to your task, it will be with a healthy sense of proportion.
It's your lucky day. Big things might happen with love, money or fun. On the other hand, you wouldn't be disappointed by a nonstop run of little miracles and victories. You couldn't have a bad time even if you tried. Friends and family will see to that. Everybody loves you, and they all want to make sure that you get the message. Expect invitations and gifts. You'll have everything you need, and you'd get more if you asked. This isn't just for you, though. You want to share the wealth with those who stood beside you during your difficult days.
Secrets and mysteries are everywhere. Sentences and melodies hang unfinished when you walk into the room. Something could be happening right under your nose, but the information isn't forthcoming. Events beyond your control might even make you feel like a stranger in your own home. There are reasons for all this, and you have to trust those who know best. As hard as it might be to navigate the maze or wait out the duration, breathe deeply and try to be patient. If you can't get in on the preliminary phase, there will be a place for you later on.
The fine print doesn't apply. The manual was written for users with less of a grip than you have. Examine the details at your leisure, tuning out the vague, abstract issues that so often interfere. You find acceptable shortcuts and easy fixes. Simple remedies cure common ailments, proving once again that the old wives can still triumph over the white coats. Organic solutions cross generation lines. You get a look of complete understanding from a child who's too young to speak, and that keeps you warm and smiling all day. Yes, you've had an effect.
Social time is always good, but the tab for refreshments is getting more and more expensive. Let everyone buy his or her own coffee or lunch. Those with the mistaken impression that you were treating will have to make other arrangements. If people have hard feelings around this, they have your sympathies, but it's still not your problem. You take a close look at your fiscal picture, and you see how important it is to find other outlets for your natural generosity. A sobering realization quiets your voice for a while. You'll be laughing once you absorb this.
These next few days are the Stars' gift to you. Time is precious if you have something specific to do. With your space already reserved and your issues front and center, you're ready to roll. Organized surroundings promote organized thinking. You don't need other people's support right now, but if they can follow the arc of your logic, so much the better. You're strong enough to deal with your own health and financial concerns. Taking care of business brings you great delight. Looking back on your recent accomplishments is deeply satisfying. It gives you the strength to keep going.
Love or loyalty could be your biggest obstacle. The truth is out there, but it can't touch you here. At least that's what you think now. Sooner or later these clouds will part, and you'll be staring change in the face. You find yourself faced with a major decision. The first step in getting around this is recognizing that all your usual patterns and standard responses might have to be tossed aside. It helps when the person you're protecting gives you permission to take care of yourself. You're still in this together, but now you're equal, open-minded partners.
Savor your secret in the instant before revealing it. Acts like this are precious because they're nearly impossible to repeat. If your hand is invisible in this little charade or grand jest, that's even better. If you want to look innocent, carefully plan to be surprised. Pranksters develop a reputation that might stay with them for years. Of course you'll be forgiven if you have the best interests of your community at heart. Sometimes it takes a funny publicity stunt to train the spotlight on a serious issue. You score big points for raising consciousness.
Things were going smoothly until now. You seem to be hitting a pocket of resistance. Maybe it's just the last few days, but people seem unusually uncooperative about the things that matter. When the obstruction is beyond your control, step back and analyze it instead of blindly beating your head against it. Stubbornness is not a useful trait at this time. Sticking to your principles could lead to an awkward situation. Bend with the wind. Flow with the tide. If you don't get what you want, settle for something just as good. You might like it even better.
The future looks good from here. You start with optimistic projections and soon find yourself drawing detailed maps. Anyone curious about long-range planning is welcome to get in on this. They'll have to understand your guiding principle, though. Your vision of what's possible is rooted in a solid grasp of what's practical. The facts are obvious to all who would see them, and a mystery to those still living on stardust and moonbeams. The teams in this game are already staking out their ideological territory. Once you start playing, things will get very interesting indeed.
There's definitely a big change in the works, and you should be meeting it with a willingness to adjust. Cooperation is necessary to avoid the scenario of many free agents battling for their piece of the pie. Instead of trading fire, trade war stories. The synergy of open minds could result in a unique solution to the current problem. Even though you may be mingling ideas, keep expenses separate. There's no formal agreement yet, and certain people might still be a little touchy on the subject of money.
You want to know everything, but you're lucky to have the knowledge that you do. Instead of taking offense, take people on faith. Their words and actions will make sense once you have a handle on their intentions. Any fan of mysteries or thrillers knows that a seemingly useless detail becomes vitally important in a dramatic moment. But which detail will that be? All that you can really do is keep smiling and hope for the best. No thoughtful person would dare to let you down.
