General Weekly Love Horoscope
Passions continue to sizzle as alluring Venus and energetic Mars track closely together in enterprising Aries. Making bold moves and acting impulsively can create some awkward moments. Yet, as long as you live in the present, instead of trying to lock in love forever, mistakes are not likely to have lasting consequences.
Ah yes, those awkward moments do happen. Mistakes, well, who doesn't make a mistake once in a while. As far as lasting consequences, you never know. Living in the present is a much more comfortable place to be. I've been trying to save my energy for the here and now for the most part. There's so much going on it pays to stay focused. There was a time I longed to see the future, but I've reached a point in my life where the universe can surprise me. That certainly has been the case for the past year or so. Now I see all the effort to control most situations is an exercise in futility. I'm not condoning anarchy, but I do see a pattern of organized chaos. We do what we think is best and then we watch life unfold as it will. Next, we scurry to pick up pieces and reassemble the puzzle of life to the best of our ability. Sometimes it looks even better than the original image, other times not so much. In the grand scheme of things it probably doesn't matter all that much. The idea is to stay in the game until we come to the end. In a way we all win.
When my daughter was little her favorite board game was Candy Land which we played ad nauseum. There were obstacles and shortcuts, good guys and bad guys. We always played 'til the end when some one, guess who, won. It took forever. You just kept on that path until you get where you're going. Real life isn't quite so straightforward, but you get the idea. Just keep on truckin'. Don't stress about tomorrow. Treat the past gently, it's a done deal. So, that leaves us with the present, right here, right now. That's a good place to be.
