“When you say yes to others, make sure you are not saying no to yourself.”

Paulo Coelho

Underlying Theme for All the Signs: You’re creating the conditions to establish a strong, stable foundation for a project, pursuit or relationship, and you prosper when you take the concrete steps to build for the future. The goal is to find others who are in sync with you and your desires to achieve mutual enjoyment and benefit. This week could bring good fortune through unexpected opportunities that help reinforce your security. This can manifest through the construction, sale or purchase of a home, a creative project, or celebratory occasions and reunions.

But fairytale endings don’t just happen on their own. In most cases, you’ve got to align yourself with people who share the same vision. The lesson is in saying no to “opportunities” or requests that compromise your integrity. Too much self interest may be blinding you to the facts that the partnership you’re trying to form is not ready or unsuitable at this point in time. When the list of negatives becomes too long, it’s time to let go. Rather than force matters or push for a harmful outcome, release relationships that make you feel drained in favor of looking after yourself.
