Libra Horoscope for week of May 5, 2011 - Rob Brezsny

(my horoscope for this week is so perfect for my life I had to share. I've often found that Rob gets these EXACTLY right. I'm probably in for a wild week! http://freewillastrology.com/horoscopes/allsigns.html)


If given the choice between having our lives change or keeping our lives the same, many of us would choose the status quo. We tend to feel that even if the current state of things is uncomfortable, it's still preferable to having to deal with the uncertainty and fear that come from transformation. But I don't think you fit this description right now, Libra. Of all the signs of the zodiac, you're the one that's most receptive to shifting the mood and experimenting with the rules. It's easier than usual for you to imagine different ways of doing things. Take advantage of this superpower.

Sometimes hope is an irrelevant waste of time, even a stupid self-indulgence. Let's say, for instance, that I'm intently hoping that a certain disagreeable person I've got to communicate with won't answer when I call on the phone. That way I can simply leave a message on his voice mail and avoid an unpleasant exchange. But it doesn't matter what I hope. The guy will either answer or not, regardless of what I hope.



But there is another kind of hope that's potentially invigorating. Let's say I hope that we humans will reverse the environmental catastrophes we're perpetrating. Let's say that my hope motivates me to live more sustainably and to inspire others to live more sustainably. Then my hope is a catalyst.



Give two examples from your life about the two kinds of hope.



Ex 1 I hope my basement doesn't flood with this current downpour

Ex 2 I hope that I can make a difference in the lives of others by what I go through in my own life.
