Today's Horoscope

You are a powerhouse of information today. The insights and understanding you have gained can only count in your favour right now. Try, however, to be succinct instead of being long-winded with your words.

Weekly overview

We’re easily led astray by what is obvious. What’s going on in front of us is active and noisy, and is distracting and even irritating, so It takes up our attention. But it’s what’s happening in the background that we need to be aware of. The real issues are thunderous and profound, bringing permanent change. The foreground is just butterflies fluttering against a stormy backdrop. Watch the backdrop.

Success strategies for the week

• Decide what you want to do, and stick to it • Control rather than blame • Be conscious of how and what you talk about

Quote of the week

Once we have made a decision, the chosen course of action requires all the will-power we're capable of, if we are to complete it successfully. This is at the core of what it means to experience life as a human being. Jonathan Black – author. From “The secret history of the world”
