BANDSTAND
An injection of energy and enthusiasm is giving you a lift. Use it to make a fresh start or to go on an adventure. Don’t wait around for others as you’re likely to end up missing out and will regret not having followed your own desires. A heated conversation could be just what is needed to clear the air. So, have the courage to speak your mind and don’t back-pedal to avoid confrontation.You don’t have to be nasty or attacking. Be honest about how it is. For now, you will be best off sticking to the safe option or what you know works. In personal relationships, focus on the things which you enjoy doing together that don’t require a lot of effort. Keep it simple and avoid areas that create tension. Circumstances are pushing you to shoulder responsibilities and deal with realities that you’d rather ignore.You can’t sort everything out at once.Take it one step at a time and you will be able to stay the course. Also, talk to those who are encouraging. Should you find yourself thinking back to events from the past, look for a link between them and problems which you are facing now. Finding the connection will give you clues as to what to do about your current problem. This is a time for getting involved in what is going on around you. Should there be any neighbourhood issue that needs resolving, put the focus on getting everyone’s input and discussing options. Don’t push for a quick decision as it will backfire. This is not an easy time, but don’t assume the worst. Although things may not be working out exactly as hoped, trust that everything is not necessarily lost. Once you start thinking positively, you will see that there are other routes to take.
