Whether the glass is half full or half empty, if you placed a ruler at the side of the said glass and measured the height of the liquid, you would find it is equal to the height of the space above the liquid. If you have been plagued by self-doubt and negative thinking, you will see the glass as being half empty. Even if more liquid was poured into the glass, as long as there was some space above the liquid, you could in a pessimistic moment say it was half empty.
Tiger energies will help you shake off your downbeat outlook and manage your anxieties. Dwelling on what you want and need in order for the empty half of the glass to be filled can wear you out more than you realise. Being aware of all the good things you already have in your life will be a reminder of what makes the glass half full. View the world through the enthusiastic eyes of the Tiger. Allow yourself to stride through the month in big confident steps with head help up high and chest forwards. You are heading towards the half-full glass and to fill it to the brim.
Love
Acknowledge all the positive qualities there are in your beloved and make a point of deliberately forgetting about some faults. Complaining is often much easier than praising, so make an effort to find what is right. If it proves too difficult to identify what is constructive about your relationship, do something other than grumble. Solo Snakes focus on what is right about all the potential suitors out there.
Career
When you have done your job and handed over your work to the next person or department in the process, there is no need to worry. You are responsible for your role and your fears about others letting you down can turn out to be unfounded. Do your own job and do not try to take over somebody else’s.
Money
Acquiring a higher bank balance may improve your financial security, so it is a worthwhile goal in that sense. However, there are some things money cannot buy. Do more of those things that make you happy without the need for getting out your wallet. For then life will feel richer in different ways.
