The 20th is a Good Day To . . . go full tilt for ambition fulfillment and to extract rewards, profits, and/ or Love from the reality situation. Hints for success: look to how others, particularly partners, can enhance or facilitate the situation, and remember that others also have goals and needs–help them where you can.

The 19th is a Good Day To . . . notice our own erratic or spontaneous behavior, as it may undermine our power position, and this can be traced directly to the way our actions and choices are at odds with our deepest convictions, values, and commitments. We betray ourselves, in a sense, but if we can change our thinking, specifically rooting out any guilt or unacknowledged desires, particularly for power, then we can align our thought/ action with positive, conscious change and reform, rather than being victims of our own conflicted impulses.

The 18th is a Good Day To . . . speak out, speak up, say exactly what you want. Voicing your concerns, desires, or needs isn’t the only step to be taken today; the other thing you must do is be flexible with commitments, energy dedication, and what you honor, with the goal of making these obligations suit who you are even better than they already do.

The 17th is a Good Day To . . . transform your ideas of what is wise, smart, or practical, OR advance your skill level, adding to or honing it. Of course, we’ve adopted those notions of wisdom in the first place precisely because we feel they are ‘best guidelines’ against which to judge our options and actions, and we may feel perfectly satisfied with our skill level. This is a warning call, however, to help you get out ahead of inevitable changes to come. Just look into the darker, ignored corners of your life; that hints at what you must prepare for. If you do, the future will be highly rewarding, bringing returns of opportunity, ‘luck’, and bounty.

The 16th is a Good Day To . . . look at ways in which we’re being headstrong and so undermining our health: overindulging, candle-at-both-ends-burning, etc. This is driven by wounds and the unacknowledged issues in our lives-so the obvious answer is, address these, and Self-care will suddenly become a lot easier.

The 15th is a Good Day To . . . think creatively, as the payoffs will be significant, especially in terms of the authority you can claim or the reach you’ll enjoy. Too, those in charge may offer reward, and the possibility for recognition is significant. The downside may be the lure of fantasy or magical thinking, or the desire to hide in confusion when faced with taking full responsibility for the Self. As long as we hold the twin concepts of reality and truth as our gods, we’ll avoid misleading or being misled, and can translate our creative power into plans and thoughts that are smart and so inherently contain a solid go-ahead for follow-through.

The 14th is a Good Day To . . . examine the two major currents flowing through our lives, and find a way to reconcile them so that they can work together; if we can find their confluence we can put powerful forces to work on our behalf. One influence suggests that our beliefs dictate both our opportunities and our ambition fulfillment–which means we manifest exactly what we expect–while the other influence shows us precisely the ways in which our current identity and/ or purpose conflicts with either the powers-that-be or the need for willing change. If we can modify the way we ‘shine’ so that we are in harmony with the powerful, or so that we willingly accept obvious and needed change, we can likely bring forward our most optimistic visions of what we want and where we want to go. Today is about proactively adjusting ourselves and our attitudes so that the Universe can deliver its best results.

‘The Death of the Gravedigger’ By Carlos Schwabe {{PD}}

The 12th is a Good Day To . . . dig into the reasons behind why we are currently ignoring both our better instincts and our inner wisdom. It’s rooted in the fact that the group or the partner has recently rejected our choices or actions (we may have preemptively insisted they are erratic or unreliable, beating them to the punch!) or in the way we really have acted wildly or spontaneously and it very clearly hasn’t paid off. The problem is this: we think that unsuccessful choice was an instance where we followed our instincts or what we thought was smart, so now we’re thinking what the hell, if doing our best wasn’t good enough, why consider what’s wise, practical, or natural at all? We misunderstand; the impetus behind our issue wasn’t following instinct or wisdom. We were tuned out, thinking we’d connected to our deeper knowing when we hadn’t. We followed rebellious or erratic urges trying to prove our independence, trying to prove we have lots original to offer. Now it’s time for an attitude adjustment, one that acknowledges we might’ve made a poor choice–and we can do much better, once we are open to seeing where we went wrong.

‘Spring’ ByTeodor Axentowicz 1899 {{PD}}

The 11th is a Good Day To . . . see ourselves clearly. Yes, we’re always trying to do that, but today this makes the difference between success and a fumble. We’ll likely be responding to matters we’ve tried to brush aside or pretend didn’t exist, and how we handle this is the crux of everything. My advice? Endure the discomfort (don’t let it be an excuse to ignore things), and deal with the issues, no matter how unpleasant you anticipate they will be. Just remember, this might involve as much not doing (that is, refusing to be baited or misled) as it does actively tackling matters.
