You like to see the glass as being half full rather than half empty. During Goat month your half full glass fills up a bit more and life can even throw in a couple of ice cubes and a straw to turn it into a long cool refreshing drink for a hot day. Yet despite a full glass, you can still have a sense of something is missing and in quiet moments of contemplation you can almost feel melancholy striking like a chiming grandfather clock on the midnight hour. A sense of loss can touch any of us at any time, thinking about what has been and gone and what might have been. Like anybody, deep within you lie buried sorrows, waiting to be unearthed. Take some time to yourself and dig them out into the light of a summer’s day. You can see how being happy does not exclude you from knowing what is sad. That is perhaps the little bit of insight you were missing. If on a practical level, you have misplaced some possessions, and you have been hunting high and low, perhaps you don’t actually need to have so much stuff around you anymore?
