Other people are not your competitio­n. Your last accomplish­ment would be hard to beat, but that’s not your competitio­n either. Your competitio­n is this idea about what you might be capable of.

The reason you’ll be so excellent at the task at hand is that you’ve had plenty of practice messing it up. These things take years to perfect. You’ll be revered for your expertise. You know how hard-won it is.

Theoretica­lly, anything that happens fast can be undone just as fast. The converse is also true. If it takes a long time to do, it will take a long time to undo. Go slow until you know which way is better.

You’re the one who gets to decide what to celebrate, when and for how long. Do not skip this part. Celebratin­g the good things in your life keeps them flowing in.

Maybe the lesson gets repeated until it’s learned. And sometimes the learning isn’t an answer so much as a directive to go in a different direction where you won’t have to try and solve this problem anymore.

VIRGO

You’re able to send a wish for healing and contentmen­t to those who have wronged you. You don’t wish misgivings or pain on anyone, because you know they already have it.

LIBRA

Sometimes, clarity of mind comes after you straighten up your scene. Today, clarity of mind comes first. You’ll make a decision, act on it and life gets suddenly clean and orderly.

SCORPIO

It feels weird to admit that you want to be treated better, probably because it’s admitting that you’ve been treated poorly and wrongly believed you deserved it. It’s not selfish to want to be loved.

It’s good to find out the full range of a person’s behaviour, but don’t worry so much about pleasing that person. You’ll learn a lot about people when they don’t get what they want.

Not everyone uses vocab in the same way, but when you tell someone “I love you,” it’s because you want to make sure they know. This will be your only agenda, not to persuade or to hear it back.

You don’t have to always be right to be confident. Confidence is a posture, not an outcome. It’s about having the guts to try, and to learn from whatever happens next.

It does no good to blame the person who put you in a jam; responsibi­lity falls to the one who allowed it to happen, which is you. Don’t blame yourself either. Forget about blame altogether and just handle it.
