“It is not the answer that enlightens, but the question.”

Eugene Ionesco

Underlying Theme for All the Signs: A new idea, thought, or way of communicating serves to ease some recent tension. Perhaps your anxiety was caused by a need to find answers, adjust to learning, handle paperwork, out of concern for a child, or because of intense exchanges with others. In search of the truth, some matters will call for greater investigation and the courage to admit you don’t really know.

This week, it’s the little things and the smaller goals you set for yourself that can stimulate a shift toward bigger potential than expected. On the other hand, it’s the trivial that also holds the possibility of triggering more complex problems than you’re prepared for. It all depends on whether you can align with others in outlook for clarity or whether misunderstandings due to oversights or missteps start to spin out of control. You’ll realize which side of the line you stand when you begin to clearly see the characters involved for who they truly are and the physical response induced by your interactions. For some, what’s discovered brings relief, but for others, the revelation surrounding the true nature of someone rings the alarm.
