“If you must say yes, say it with an open heart. If you must say no, say it without fear.”

Paulo Coelho

Underlying Theme for All the Signs: You’re likely to make some mistakes or deal with individuals who are acting solely in their own interest through the use of power plays to sabotage, manipulate for selfish gain, revenge or because of tactless insensitivity. Perhaps it’s you overstepping the boundaries or failing to heed a warning. Either way, conflict serves as the means to remove the mask and get clear about intention and motivation. The frustration finally prompts you to do what you should have done already to address a situation or move it forward by bringing issues out into the open. The challenge is in being open to live and let live, learning to amicably agree to disagree due to different ways of thinking, or clearly discerning what’s healthy to allow into your life or not. In doing so, you may realize that you’ve taken too much for granted–including yourself. What appears to be a no-win situation might actually be you resisting, sabotaging or procrastinating concerning a great opportunity. The Universe is working to expand your possibilities but are you listening? With full consideration of the pros and the cons, a successful outcome is possible and probable if you’re actively taking steps toward what excites you. To leave a negative, you need to say yes to yourself.
