“There is real magic in enthusiasm. It spells the difference between mediocrity and accomplishment.”

Norman Vincent Peale

Underlying Theme for All the Signs: A growing spark of enthusiasm is encouraging you to take positive action prompted by exciting news and possibilities that bring optimism. You’re now free to venture forth to co-create a life that is more in alignment with your desires. If you move toward that vision, momentum will be set in motion that provides the confirmation that your ideas have value. You’re discovering your purpose as you enter a new phase of life, take the first steps at the beginning of a project, or act on a new idea. Start with tending to the details you’ve overlooked, the tasks you’ve avoided, or the changes you need to make in areas that have been costing you time and money or where you may need to give to others. The most important thing is to focus and stop putting off things that need urgent attention.
