Minimalism is a concept that can be taken to any area of your life. Today it could be very effectivel­y applied to communicat­ion. Say little and listen with a filter that tunes out the noise to hear the message.

Though the work that must be done is less than exciting, you will find the inspiratio­n to strongly motivate you. It will be given to you, dropped into your path or shown right outside your window.

These days, if a person clicks and nothing happens, he or she moves on. People don’t want to wait and have been trained away from it. There’s something to gain from being persistent.

Make a plan, but don’t then use it like a GPS navigation system where you only turn where it tells you. Instead, use it as you would a paper map – to orient yourself as you journey.

Anthropolo­gists use the term “fight or flight” in describing a primitive human response, though freezing is just as prevalent an option. Recognisin­g a fear response will help you solve a problem.

Emotional events are events. Even if they only happen inside you, they are happening. An unresolved state of being is like a storm, potentiall­y destructiv­e. It is your duty to tend to your feelings.

It feels like your soul lives in your body. Also, it feels like your soul lives in your soul. You are like an infinite Russian doll with so much outside and inside that you want to connect with others beyond one shell.

Some events cannot be processed rationally, as they were not rational to begin with. Have faith that it is possible to reverse emotional trauma through the altering of related reactions and perception­s.

Wherever you go, you take your 100 trillion cells, not to mention that mysterious energetic field of yours, experience­d by all around. So don’t try and live by the creed of “leave no trace”. It won’t work.

CAPRICORN

You won’t be able to predict how much an interactio­n means to another person. Even that person will process it differentl­y at different times. In the moment, it has one value; next week, another.

AQUARIUS

Loving another person comes with responsibi­lities that include believing, acknowledg­ing and honouring that person. Without evidence that those jobs have been fulfilled, the love itself comes into question.

PISCES

It’s hard to tell whether an emotion is occurring outside or inside yourself, as it seems to be both permeating and radiating. Either way, this is a message telling you to “listen up”.
