Thought for the day 8 December 2016

A reader writes:

I'd applied for a graduate program and put all my eggs into one basket. I'd left my job and was ready to move across country - but I didn't get accepted. I read my horoscope. The message was 'go back, something needs rechecking'. So I called the admissions office. They were perplexed to see that my application had no markings like the others had. Somehow, they'd forgotten it! They were apologetic and sent it to the dean. The following day - I was IN. I was so happy. It felt miraculous!

As the Sun conjuncts Saturn this weekend, you may feel that someone else is more powerful than you. Are they calling all the shots, leaving you to accept whatever they choose? Are things really so simple? This person would almost certainly tell you that they don't feel in control, and are merely reacting as wisely as possible. There's no one at the end of the line who can be blamed or praised for what has happened. But, with Venus's change of sign, there may yet be many who can benefit from it. Are you ready for 2017?

You don't need to know everything about a person straight away. What may feel like a healthy curiosity to you, can feel like an interrogation to others. When someone doesn't like being the centre of attention, is it fair to put them on the spot? With enough time, people reveal themselves. Life's asking you to take your seat aboard a steady ship, and settle in next to someone for the long haul. You may not feel as if you're moving much, but look behind you. See how far you travel when you move inch by inch. And the future? Well your 2017 Guide to the Future is ready so you can find out about your next year in fine detail.

You can't change everything in an instant. Processes take time. Sure, do what you can to hurry it all along, but if you push too hard, you'll work against your own best interests. As the Sun prepares to conjunct Saturn, some factors in your personal world are taking longer to alter than you might like. Others seem to be full of promises that somehow, never get fulfilled. Go steady. Stay calm. With Mercury and Neptune aligning positively, you'll find the best target to aim for, and the right pace to go at. Now, you should read your 2017 Guide to the Future.

Some people love going to parties. They seem to be an ever-present part of the 'scene', joining in the revelry and mischief. Yet often, the people who shine in this environment, never host their own soirees. Their pleasure comes from being part of the crowd. Other people need to be leading the celebrations and taking command in companionship. It's not always a comfortable place to be in, but life now calls you to assume this role. You have the talent, capability and character to pull it off. Are you ready for 2017?

As your ruler makes an encouraging link to Neptune this weekend, somewhere in your heart, an alluring and generous voice is singing. And yet, as the Sun conjuncts Saturn, somewhere in your head, a raucous yell can be heard. Which do you prefer? Why, then, allow the negative form of expression to take up so much attention? You have a choice. Currently, the need to exercise that right to choose is particularly strong. You've got so much to receive if you allow your heart a higher place on the priority list.

They may not even appear obviously advantageous but, if we're receptive to positivity, we're more likely to remember that the most wondrous sights in the world lie at the end of the bumpiest roads.

If you can shift the focus from what you're doing to how you're feeling, you'll see opportunities coming your way. Now, you should read your 2017 Guide to the Future.

You want me to write about the future, but, today, I feel more inclined to talk about the past. Not because I want to annoy you. I'm just keen to remind you of something important. The past and future are connected. You may care to argue that the future is something you can change, whereas you have no such power over the past. But Venus's journey through a new sign suggests that you can now change how you think about the past. And in doing this, you can vastly increase your power to shape your future.

How are you? It's a common question at many a meeting. Often it's posed just to initiate a conversation, to be polite or to elicit a response. Usually, when asked, we give a non-committal response. We say we're 'fine' or 'not so bad, thank you'. But, it seems as though you've got plenty to get off your chest, as though you're just waiting for the right person to ask so that you can unload some of the weight you've been carrying. But you don't need anyone's permission. Shed some concerns today. And the future? Well your 2017 Guide to the Future is ready so you can find out about your next year in fine detail.
