Footprints in the sand can be blown by the wind or washed by the waves. Whatever impression you make this month will, like the footprints, be ephemeral. If you put a foot wrong, it will be easily forgiven and forgotten. If you step up into glory then you will find it is all too fleeting. What is important is that you enjoy running along the beach and there is the sound of laughter to accompany the rhythm of your feet hitting the sand. No matter how much you want to, you cannot control when the wind blows or when the tide comes in or goes out. Nor can you control what other people think, although you can certainly put your best foot forward to create a good first impression. Goat month is full of occasions where you can bedazzle the crowd with your Tiger charms and elicit a favourable reaction. Enjoy the moment, but don’t load it with too much meaning or take it too seriously. Like a footprint in the sand, the imprint will shift with the wind and the waves. The 29th could be a day that brings you a pleasant surprise.
