Rewriting the rules

By Cassandra Tyndall

A new month brings a new batch of astrological possibilities. That being said, it doesn’t mean things will magically progress immediately. When it comes to topics involving communication, logistics, paperwork and money, the devil will be in the details. Move too fast and you might have to re-do something. Yes, that’s frustrating. However, it could also provide the opportunity to do something better a second time around.

It maybe you who is the voice of authority, having to place a boundary or quell someone’s enthusiasm. If that’s the case, ask yourself whether you’re approaching the situation with a willingness to compromise. Perhaps you’ve grown too comfortable and are reluctant to make a change around tried and true systems. Maybe you’ve yet to realize there can be a fairer and just way to address the situation. Maybe, just maybe, this is your opportunity to begin the process of re-writing your own rules.

A wise thing to do this week would be to reflect on the last three years. Think about the wins, the losses, the lessons and everything in between. You may not be able to re-write your past, but the page is still blank for the future.
