Finding the light in the darkness

To say we’ve arrived at a fork in the collective road is an understatement. Regardless of outcomes, that reality isn’t going to change; it’s inevitable now. It’s more than probable we are already on the highway to hell; it’s just a case of who will take us there faster.

All that said, though, do you need to jump on board that train? You don’t have to, you know! Much of it is still about the perspective you choose. Is the glass half full? Is it half empty? Is the glass refillable?

Even the darkest clouds on the horizon still contain a silver lining. Whoever looks at the good in everything, reveals that in everything there is good.

Astrology operates on the ethos of “as above, so below.” This week, the above component reveals the very worst of “astrology bad” and the very best of “astrology good.” As for the as below component, that is the free will of each of us as to whether we choose to see the bad or we choose to see the good.
