November forecast for Ox

When you have been used to walking along carrying a heavy load, you can easily forget how light it felt when you weren’t weighed down. Pig month helps you lighten up, in many ways, emotionally, mentally and physically. There may well be lessons learnt from looking back, but that is not the way you are going. Look over your shoulder for long enough to get a good picture of how you got to where you are. Carry on walking like this and you will get a pain in the neck, and you could easily trip up. Look ahead, look for potholes you need to avoid, look for important road signs as you approach the crossroads. Avoid any sense of pressure by making yourself feel you should be moving faster. Stumbling and falling over will halt your journey temporarily. Taking a wrong turn and having to make your way back will cost you time and effort. Knowing that, is it not wiser to plan your route carefully and travel at a comfortable pace? Be kind to yourself and don’t overload your own expectations. Travel light with lots of good humour and you will arrive in good shape.

Love

Lamenting over past hurts and disagreements is best done in limited doses. Be really honest with yourself about your role in your romantic dramas. In many a screen play the victim turns into a hero or heroine who finds true love after much adversity. Trust you can be the star of your own love story.

Career

Picky bosses or tricky customers can easily drag you down in the minutiae, if you let them. Instead, persuade them to look at the bigger picture. Complications can be created by the need to try to find explanations for what turns out to be a minor mistake. Watch out for important messages on the 26th.

Money

Having something straight away will give you instant gratification. Having to save up for it gives you a delightful sense of achievement when the piggy bank is ready to be opened up and the funds are extracted. Little by little can eventually lead to a lot and can be a lot more satisfying. Go easy on using the plastic and save for a special treat instead.
