Positive evidents

age: The dreaded 50

gender: female

I feel very fortunate at this particular time...do you forsee only positive evidents and will I remain in my current position? thanking you in advance


Sigmund Freud may have gotten himself a bit too one-sided in terms of his drive theory...but when it comes to the material he included in his book "Psychopathology of Everyday Life"...i.e. mistakes,, slips of the tongue, etc. he really was on the money. Typos are extremely telling.

I can tell the querent that I have a certain amount of evidence that she is reluctant to look into the future for herself and has many fearful fantasies about what is about to unfold. This is completely natural...but implies an equally natural, but unhealthy reluctance to trust her own intuition and therefore ask for reassuring evidence of upcoming positive events. As an intuitive and a physician I know that human nature ( I didn't say Sagittarian...) tends to imagine the worst case scenario as a kind of apotropaic charm against evil and unpleasant consequences of present actions and signs. The fact of the matter is, however, that nothing is positive or negative in and of itself. It is only given that label by fallible human beings and by how we tend to judge things for ourselves. In that sense, everything that occurs has two faces. I prefer to see and speak to the positive in all events. That's not because I'm simply a Libran who's decided to climb down off the fence. On the contrary...I can see and feel both sides of an issue or an event and suspend my immediate judgment in favor of subsequent evidence which can only be provided by a further unfolding of events. That implies actions we take in response to a given event. A response implies responsibility...and it is precisely our own attitude which is what we are most responsible for. A negative attitude tends to produce negative results. Just watch the 6 o'clock news and you'll know how negative and inflammatory a so-called unbiased bit of reporting can be. There's so much negativity in this world that I simply prefer to emphasize the positive side of things.

Don't remain in your current position. You'll stagnate and precipitate a completely conservative and stale viewpoint that will fix things in a particularly negative way. Head into those dreaded years with the enthusiasm that is very much alive in your heart. Use your Sagittarian planets, your 9th House energy and as much of that good fortune as possible to take some important risks. You'll leave behind plenty of evidence of some very positive life events.
