Thought for the day 11 November 2016

This weekend, Venus and Mercury both change signs. Our hearts and minds are turning. Intellectually we may feel more free to express ourselves and explore ideas that have felt off-limits recently. Yet, emotionally we may feel more cautious. It's not that we don't want the best for ourselves, nor should we ever think that true happiness isn't achievable. But we'll be more able to recognise that stability is the key to a glad heart. And, when adventurous thought matches with pragmatic values, so much more becomes a realistic possibility.

The heat is on - but then the heat has been on for days now. You have to find a way to withstand this heat - for you have no option to lower the temperature. You can just about handle all that you face, as long as you don't start wondering whether you really ought to be facing it. It is doubt or uncertainty that turns an otherwise tolerable level of intensity into unbearable pressure. So, have no doubt - and have no fear, either. Just have faith. The heat is turning something tough into something pliable. Now, are you worried about the future and what's going to happen? Your 2017 Guide to the Future is ready.

To a business person there's nothing more important than profit. To a concert pianist there's nothing more important than harmony. And to you? There's nothing more important, right now, than remembering that 'importance' is relative. Your sense of perspective is precious. Your ability to see things from several angles is a rare gift. So too, is your versatility, your imagination and your refusal to be forced into taking a narrow view. It doesn't always pay off for you in a worldly sense. But this weekend, it will!

Do we become different people when we wear different clothes? And do we change again when we keep the company of different individuals? It is easy to say, 'No. Of course not.' You are who you are. How can your superficial circumstances alter that? Yet, you're now starting to see how one situation seems to bring out the best in you, and another is badly affecting your attitude. To make the right kind of progress now, don't strive for an external adjustment; just try to develop a deeper sense of self-awareness.

Why do we sing the songs we sing? Like children performing nursery rhymes, we hum popular melodies, letting the lyrics echo in our heads like ancestral voices, subtly guiding our choices. And what about those tunes you just can't get out of your head? You don't even like them but they haunt you. Perhaps your subconscious has adopted them to help steer you where your intellect can't so easily go. Maybe it knows what the rest of you needs to know. Listen to what you're singing to yourself this weekend. Now, are you worried about the future and what's going to happen? Your 2017 Guide to the Future is ready.

You are easy-going, spontaneous and adaptable. When the wind is blowing in the right direction, you can sense it and you automatically put up your sails. If it changes? Then you look to see if there might now be a benefit from aiming for a different destination. Or at least that's what you do when you are feeling comfortable. When you are tense, you try too hard to control every situation you get caught up in. Resist, this weekend, the urge to push something that is already doing just what you need it to do.

It seems as if you are about to come to someone's rescue. There's a move that only you can make. Oddly, it involves a course of action that you might never dream of pursuing on your own behalf. For this other person, you are willing to lay yourself on the line. That's as it should be. You are now in the process of helping to make the world a better place. Make a pretence under protest and you'll accomplish little. But if you feel able to make a sincere generous gesture you'll end up reaping a real reward.

'The tears of the world are a constant quantity. For each one who begins to weep, somewhere else another stops. The same is true for the laugh.' All week, I have been quoting Samuel Beckett, but that doesn't mean I agree with all he ever said. In today's line from Waiting For Godot, he makes a statement that surely must be wrong. The tears of this world may be many, but they are ultimately finite. It is only the laughter that has the potential to go on for ever. And you will yet find joy in your life this weekend.

There is an old saying, 'A miss is as good as a mile.' If something hasn't happened, then it hasn't happened, regardless of how close it may have come to happening. That is good news if we are talking here about narrowly avoiding disaster. It is not so good when we come second in a race, even by millimetres. Very often, we are simply unable to see quite how far we truly are from success or failure. You think that you are a very long way from what you want this weekend. But you are nearer to it than you imagine. Now, are you worried about the future and what's going to happen? Your 2017 Guide to the Future is ready.

You deserve to be appreciated. Respected, too. It is time you had more fulfilment and less stress. Life really has become too draining and demanding lately. The planets speak of such an improvement being possible now. But 'possible' is such a weak, wishy-washy word. You, surely, want to turn 'possible' into 'definite'. That may require you to sit and think about the way in which you may be holding on to a grievance or taking perverse pleasure in a problem. The big question is: do you yet feel ready to let it go?

We think, 'I can't ever hope for this' or 'I won't ever get that'. Then, having formed such opinions, we re-reinforce them. Every time a disappointing development occurs, we say, 'That just shows how right I was not to set my sights too high.' Even when things go well, we figure we'd best not push our luck in case it has only come along by mistake. If we were to call on it too loudly, it might see the error of its ways! But, as Mercury now prepares to leave your sign, a pessimistic prognosis is about to be disproved! Now, are you worried about the future and what's going to happen?

'Multiply by three, take away the number you first thought of, then find the square root of the remainder...' And remember, if you get any of these steps wrong, you'll invalidate the entire calculation. Except actually, you won't! Many people around you now seem happy to contribute to the idea that everything is complicated and the only way to negotiate a tricky route is by sticking to a set pattern. But you can (and should) wing it a little. Trust what you instinctively feel inclined to do and say this weekend. Now, are you worried about the future and what's going to happen?

Are you a saint? Are you superhuman? If you are not, why should you even contemplate following the kind of course of action that such an elevated individual might choose? One reason why you might give this serious consideration is because you are, after all, blessed with such rare, legendary qualities. There is, on a good day, something of a living deity about you! At your best you are capable of healing wounds, working miracles and behaving with exemplary wisdom. This weekend, shine like the star you are.
