PREVIOUS THOUGHTS FOR THE DAY November 4 2019 to November 10 2019 Monday November 4 Gifting More Sally Fisher Art here. Over the next few days the 'Romance Planets' Venus and Mars form an unusual alignment with taboo-breaking Pluto. That doesn't mean we'll be adding handcuffs to our shopping lists! It's more likely to indicate a growing appreciation of how a carefully-controlled budget is more effective than throwing money carelessly at our favourite causes. But regardless of the contents of our basket, or the nature of the transaction, we can look forward to the arrival of unexpected and exciting gifts. Tuesday November 5 All About the Presentation More Sally Fisher Art here. Arguments aren't usually won by force. If we want to convince someone to adopt a point of view contrary to their original idea, it's better to coax rather than cajole; and focus on the benefits of the plan, rather than the hole in theirs. When people feel as if their ideas have been disrespected and overlooked, resentment will inevitably arise. Today, Mars and Pluto urge for decisive behind-the-scenes action; while Venus' involvement suggests any move forwards must be attractively presented. Wednesday November 6 Shine a Light More Sally Fisher Art here. 'Be the Sun not the Wind' says Aesop's famous fable. It's something I hinted at yesterday. The harder the wind blows in its attempt to whip away your coat, the more tightly you'll cling onto it. Yet, when the sun shines brightly and warmly, you'll happily remove it of your own accord. With Mercury retrograde, it may be hard to get messages across, however sweet. So here's another truism: actions speak louder than words. A light that shines now will soon gain many (cloak-less!) followers. Thursday November 7 Ride the Wave More Sally Fisher Art here. This weekend, Saturn and Neptune make their final move in the dance they've been weaving since the start of the year. Saturn's realistic, grounded ethic mixes encouragingly with Neptune's enchanting vision and free-flowing imagination. Today, as the Sun aligns with both these influences in a Minor Grand Trine, the power embodied by these planets will have a tangible effect. In order to benefit from the opportunities being presented we need to be bold. The tide is turning - so let's ride the wave! Friday November 8 Planning Ahead More Sally Fisher Art here. I've got a phone app that ages my photos to show what I'll look like several decades into the future. It's not pretty! This is perhaps the equivalent of athletes having to take dope tests. Maybe I'll be struck off the wizard list and have to hand in my badge and my crystal ball! But while the march of time, and its effects on my face are inevitable, our fates are not similarly set. Monday's incredible Transit Of Mercury is a chance to address something fundamental... and improve long-term plans. Saturday November 9 Your Week Ahead More Sally Fisher Art here. Sometimes the only way to move forward is to retrace our steps and look again at the choices we've made. Since retrograde Mercury presents this kind of opportunity, its spectacular transit over the face of the Sun this week focuses the celestial spotlight onto missed chances and future prospects. Its celestial display will be closely followed by the Full Moon, which forms a 'Cradle Of The Ancients' alignment. These two rare events provide both the opportunity, and the means to get back on track. Sunday November 10 Your Week Ahead - Love Focus More Sally Fisher Art here. Remember, your Love Forecast today does not just cover romance. A love forecast may also have something to say about your family life, your closest friendships and even some of your most important working relationships.
