“Sweeten the Deal”

You may find it a challenge this week to find the positive in a difficult or combative situation that will require a delicate yet loving approach to restore balance. When one is gripped by the high emotions of conflict or stressful circumstances, it can be really hard to feel cheery, sunny or bright especially if others are being less than honorable. Subtlety, Compassion & Balance are of highlighted importance; never underestimate their power. A small amount of sweet kindness could achieve so much. Some days it difficult to find the sunshine but keeping a positive attitude and proper perspective during any conflict, set back or delay will help you avoid giving into the pressures that could potentially cause any undue stress. Condor guides us to practice loving detachment; understanding we do not control the situation or others. This is showing compassion and graciousness not only for others but for ourselves as well. It also helps to focus on what is truly important & what really matters.

Although there can be opposing views or goals here, a way forward can be found through negotiation, keeping things in a proper perspective & having empathy for all involved. It should be remembered that any negotiation will require maintaining your emotional temperature. Since Turmeric increases passion, participants are always in danger of being sabotaged by their own emotions. Specifically, try to gauge whether your emotions are manageable, starting to heat up, or threatening to boil over. If so, it will be up to you to do whatever’s necessary to keep yourself in check, balanced in both heart & mind. Retreat & give yourself an ‘out’ – a break that allows you to take a walk to cool down, to call a friend or colleague for reinforcement. Stability is what you should be focusing on at the moment and any rash actions or decisions are to be tempered.
