Release from Obstruction

‘I was angry with my friend; I told my wrath, my wrath did end.’

William Blake

You have come to the end of a frustrating cycle during which your progress has been blocked. In matters of relationship issues there have been misunderstandings and conflict. Now your difficulties can at last be resolved. Projects can come to fruition. You can move away from a situation which does not fulfil you. But none of this will happen without your active cooperation. Your role is to understand the factors which have been holding you back. Consider where you have been blocked and why. Look at how your own actions or behaviour may have contributed. Be prepared to act on your insights and make some changes where you can. Many of the obstacles will then fade away quite naturally. This will bring relief from accumulated stress and anxiety. You can then return to a regular and much more satisfying routine. But do not procrastinate. Now is the time to take the bull by the horns.

An opportunity for personal growth

You must deal with unresolved emotional issues. Holding on to hostility, regret or old grievances keeps you locked into the past. Letting them go clears the air and frees you to live more fully in the present. Do not dwell on another’s faults or mistakes. Blame and criticism will not improve matters or bring you peace of mind. You cannot change others. But if you are prepared to be generous, you can change yourself and acquire a more positive outlook. In the process, you will cease to feel like a victim of circumstances. If you feel hurt or annoyed, do not brood or nurture resentment. Bring matters out into the open. Try to show some goodwill. Be willing to reconcile misunderstandings. Put the past behind you, where it belongs. Then you can go forward to meet the future with renewed energy and confidence.

Further aspects of the situation

SIX AT THE BEGINNING

You have done what you can. Now you can simply relax, rest and recuperate your energy. Action would be premature.

NINE IN THE SECOND PLACE

A destructive element is at work in the situation. It could take the form of ill will from others or negative attitudes within yourself. Either way, the effect is to undermine your position. Unless you take action to stop this you could lose a valuable opportunity. Provided you are totally honest and straightforward, you will succeed.

SIX IN THE THIRD PLACE

You have come some way towards achieving a difficult goal. But there is still much hard work to be done. Be aware of your limitations. If you persist in doing something for which you are not really suited, or which is beyond your current capabilities, you risk being humiliated.

NINE IN THE FOURTH PLACE

Certain people have involved themselves with you for selfish reasons of their own. They do not have your best interests at heart. You must detach yourself from these unhealthy relationships. They are preventing you from developing sincere friendships with people who would otherwise be willing to cooperate with you.

SIX IN THE FIFTH PLACE

To make the most of life, you must he determined to free yourself from involvement with whoever or whatever drags you down. Develop a positive attitude to yourself. Be committed to your own well-being. Become your own best friend. Then you will no longer attract harmful people or circumstances.

SIX AT THE TOP

The last and most powerful obstacle to progress can now be overcome. Make careful plans for dealing with it. Wait until the time is ripe and then take appropriate action. If your timing is accurate you will hit the mark perfectly. Nothing will then stand between you and success.
