Today’s planetary connections are slippery, like eels leaping from the fisherman’s hand back to the ocean, like thoughts jumping back into the fray. Pull back shouts an inner voice, but a frenzy has taken hold now. The mind whirls – If I think about it enough, I will find a solution. If I take the risk, I’ll break the deadlock! Elsewhere, there are other voices that harp on about cowardly lions and scaredy-cats.
You don’t need to impress anyone. You don’t need to be someone else’s fall guy. You don’t need to twist yourself into someone you’re not to get the round of applause or validation. The energies of the day are prone to excess. The instinct is to overcompensate for some imagined failing, some fictional weakness, some distorted story that you’re not enough. Resist any urge to obsess over what someone else may or may not be thinking. Don’t let the Wicked Witch of the West steal your shoes – or your dreams. Use your magic. Switch on self-belief to chase away doubt. Click your heels three times to bring yourself back to reality.
