Your life has been in a bit of a turmoil of late. You are batting around wondering what to do next. You know full well that you have plenty to do with what is in front of you on your plate. The rub? A sense of dissatisfaction. Of treading water. Of boredom with the status quo. As a rule, you can put up with tedium and are even gifted for sustaining repetitive tasks. But these days something is itching to be reckoned with. I don't mean to suggest that you are angry or annoyed. It's more a feeling of not making progress. Not having realized a dream or made the most of an opportunity. Take a step backward. The month of September will bring you myriad chances to change the way things are. The trick will be to recognize those chances; and dare to do something to make them work for you. One flaw in the Ox character is that you think if it's done your way, it's done right. Wrong! Now you must consider the way other people are doing things. If they seem to be more successful at towing their barge than you are, make a concerted effort to figure out how they do it and do likewise. This will not be easy. You are a sticker in the mud. Make friends with change. Money is not as plentiful now. Every time you turn around there is a tax hike or an increase in phone charges or utility bills. If you begin to have to dip into savings, take a good look at your lifestyle and see where you can safely cut back and still be comfy. Your love life has seen better days. Could it be that your boredom is contagious? Take some classes with your sweetheart. If it's the sex that's gone numb, take a course in how to improve sexual rapport. Or if she or he wants to be more social, take dance classes together, join a little theater group or participate in a choir. Watch those calories! When Oxen feel testy or out of sorts, they eat. Maybe you snack to compensate for lack of affection. If so, get some affection and get it fast before obesity claims your birthright to good health. |
